Women should be able choose to dress how ever they want. Whether its cute fasion or a ballgown, yoga pants or an abaya and hijab. How we dress does not change who we are or what we are capable of.

If you're a member of a creator's Patreon or a creator yourself, let's email Patreon and ask them if they'll explore processor options beyond PayPal and Stripe. We want to restore our creative freedom.

Paypal and Stripe hit Patreon with strict nsfw regulations a few years ago. It's the same thing that's happening with Steam and itch and if itch can seek new processors that are more nsfw-friendly, I think Patreon should too to support its creators

Art can only be effective at illuminating and healing if it is unconstrained by authority.

This work is slow, exhausting — and still meaningful.

Some of us are still here, doing what it takes to get good science out the door.

And we haven’t forgotten the colleagues who were forced out along the way. 💚💚

Some of us dont have the option of being vegan. We all do what we can though. Cognitive dissonance is sometimes a neccaaaeiy tactic need to survive. Its the fuckes up reality we live in.

Its so hards to stay connected. Some of us just feel more. And its all consuming. When its positive the world is clear and bright and beautiful. When its not, we feel it in our core. My heart is litterally breaking at the age of 37. I should not have to choose my own health over others, and I can't.

I dont think it has to do with intellect. At least thats what Ive seen her in America's. We dont have the means to help, we can bairly help ourselves. How can I stop genecide when I cant even find the means to support myself and my family? Destroying myself with worry is the only choice left.

I still wonder how these men in suits and Ivory Towers can sit there and *know* they could end wars, hunger, deaths, and so on, and still not do anything about it for no other reason than more power over people.

If nuclear-weapons advocates understood what happened in Nagasaki and Hiroshima, “they would see how unrealistic it is to think that these weapons keep you safe,” Terumi Tanaka writes. “Nuclear deterrence is nothing more than the power to intimidate.”

Being told theres nothing wrong all, while your body is literally deteriorating before your eyes leads to loss of trust in your own ability to make decisions. You start breaking down your own psychy. Second guessing and downright ignoring your own truth. Plus the added benefit of cognitive decline.

For me, doctors that dont understand how some people dont understand there own pain reseptors, hunger cues, ect., having a differnce in how we process information. Asking for help is already hard enough.

Autistic & intellectually disabled adults in the UK are being detained without their or their family’s consent.

They are dying in detention, from either entirely preventable reasons or directly due to neglect or abuse.

Government is cutting funds for disability care, is cutting SEND resources.
