I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

SNAIL. BYE.

semi-realistic drawing of a Scaly foot gastropod, a very fancy black shiny shelled snail with a red soft body but it is covered in little black scales, on a black background.

Stop fighting on the internet and go for a walk or something. Take a nap. Buy a little toy. It's going to be okay.

I didn't know about this Signal For Help hand gesture until today. I'm quite sure that a lot of other people don't know it either (as demonstrated in this video). If you just learned it now too then it was worth posting.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Greta Thunberg called out Russia and Israel, Pope Leo called out Russia and Israel, the late Jane Goodall called out Russia and Israel. Notice a pattern? Intelligent and heroic people stand against tyranny whether it is Russia or Israel.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I was hanging out with a friend in college who had horses and she was cleaning her boy and her arm got sucked up into the sheath past her elbow. I was so horrified

The Pope, Jane Goodall, and the Nobel Peace Prize committee all came out and said MAGA and Trump are trash.

Aeons come and go, millions of years slipping away like minutes. The Fractal remains.
Mountains sprout in strange shapes, and in their twisted shadow species continue to evolve, die, be born. Nature has endured what humanity could not.
Nothing ever really ends.

Beneath clear pond waters, colourful carps swim around water lilies whose leaves repeat infinitely. The fish, despite their strange Mandelbrot forms, move around with grace.

$A butterfly perches atop a flower. Its wings twist in impossibly complex, yet graceful fractal forms.$ $A serene mountain landscape. A flock of birds gathers in a dragon curve pattern in the far distance. Mountains in the distance have eroded into twisting fractal patterns over millions of years. The clouds shimmer.$

Tomorrow is the big day for Jester & Fjord!

Are you all ready to celebrate the wedding in perfect Mighty Nein style? I’m sure nothing will go wrong at all 😂

A reinterpretation of Leighton’s “Call to Arms”, dedicated to the bride & groom💙✨
#criticalrole #criticalrolefanart @criticalrole.bsky.social

An illustration re-interpreting the painting “Call to Arms” by Leighton. Jester and Fjord are leaving an elegant building after getting married, followed by Caleb, Essek, Beau, Yasha, Caduceus and Veth, as Kingsley stops them on the steps, seemingly telling them about something important and pointing to the side.
He’s asking them to join on a new adventure or maybe fight an incoming danger.
All of the Mighty Nein are dressed in very fancy clothing, Jester has a beautiful white gown with pink embroidery. Every’s face is either shocked or excited.

In the background, we see various buildings, one showing the “Lavish Chateau” sign.
Many NPC, guest characters and easter eggs are hidden in the image.
