my friend Ahmad's account has again been deleted by bluesky because asking for help to feed his family, afford their medical needs, and rebuild their destroyed home— a home from which the IOF again threatens to displace them— is considered spam. so i'm sharing his gfm again 💔❤️‍🩹

KINKTOBER is here and I'm doing a drawing a day of mostly fairies, mostly fat, mostly trans in ink for patrons! it's my busy month and one of the best times to join 🥵

💞 patreon.com/fanfi 💞

Gigantic fairy goddess-like Itylara is resting while smaller fae serve her grapes and touch her. She's grabbing at her huge, soft belly, revealing something much harder underneath the cut of the image.

threesome of mushroom fairy Ambrosia, human Bryce and Alex. She's serving milk from her breast to Bryce while saying "This'll help you conceive, my boy" while he lays with his mouth and pussy full. Alex is grabbing both of his legs upright while breathing deeply.

you don't get to count on votes from people you are letting get exterminated. if you let a fox kill the chickens, should you still expect eggs in the morning?

There's too much to focus on here in Chicago to be on my "Amazon is even worse than you think" soapbox this week, but here's a sample of the ways that they are profiting off of genocide and occupation, both here and abroad. Kill the cop on your doorstep (your Ring camera).

idk that this ever got shared here, but the last few years we've made some little zines in honor of a certain day named for a number indivisible by other numbers. tbh I did not have the bandwidth to update it this year, but these two remain relevant. Check out our website for citations.

"What Amazon is doing to us. a digital zine from Skunk Cabbage Books."

We all know by now that Amazon is bad for small businesses, especially indie bookstores like us. Amazon's model, on the surface, looks like this - Amazon sells books at the lowest possible prices because they're willing to sell them at a loss to get their consumers into higher margin products like Kindles, Alexa devices, Ring cameras, and Prime accounts. We know Amazon doesn't really need to sell books. We want to dig deeper into why they bother and how Amazon hurts not just small businesses, but our entire communities.

On the surface, Amazon's model looks like selling cheap books at a loss to lure people into higher margin tech, like Kindle, Alexa, Audible, Prime, and Ring. But the higher margin items still aren't the product - you are. The consumer Amazon cares about isn't us, it's the companies that will buy all the data Amazon is collecting about you. Our privacy is the most profitable product.

Amazon relies on our government's disinterest in protecting our privacy and surveillance devices like Ring cameras and Alexa devices to farm your data. The data is the part that's really profitable, especially when Amazon sells it to agencies like law enforcement. On the smaller scale, Amazon has sold data from people's Ring cameras to local police without any notification or permission from the camera owners. On the large scale, Amazon's tech and data models power models that allow governments to enact mass surveillance and policing. Tech contracts make up a huge portion of ICE's budget and Amazon is using their tech and your data to help ICE surveil, track, and deport our neighbors. ICE's surveillance system pays Amazon approximately $600,000 a month to power their tech.

Mskwaasin Agnew (Dene/Cree, Salt River First Nation) was among the humanitarians on board Conscience that was illegally boarded by Israel in international waters.

I've heard every "we have to hit them where it hurts" argument in the book, and none of them are beating the allegations that people just want to make fun of fat bodies.

Can I also say I am so angry today. It's the lives lost, the cities wiped out, the time taken from us. We have been consumed with this level of unspeakable violence for 2 years. To think of all the potential futures taken away... it's unfathomable

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

More people should know about the Samson Option that Israel has, where if they think their country is about to be overrun they will just launch all their nukes at every single one of their neighbors triggering nuclear winter and likely killing over a billion people in the process

It's October 7 today.

It's been two years of israeli genocide in Palestine; violence, bombs and images of starving Palestinians, children being ripped limb from limb, all backed and supported by western liberal democracies, who preach "democracy" and "international law" every single day.

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've more than once seen people who know this stuff saying that we don't actually know what the diagnostic criteria for "autistic person without cPTSD" would be, because as far as can be determined we don't know of any.

Big Dyke Energy (GFM in pinned) @azurebitch.bsky.social · 2d

I genuinely am shocked to think that there may be autistic people out in the world who *don't* have CPTSD because existing in our current society as autistic is so fundamentally traumatic

DOG of BLUD @dogblud.bsky.social · 2d

No shit we all have CPTSD. We've been violently depersonalized our whole lives, completely disconnected from who and what we are until we finally figure it out, and when we do and talk about it there's a chance some redditors will appear out of thin air to tell us we're delusional.

I really would like people to examine how capitalism invisibly influences all arts culture, like do you think the dominant form of music is 3 minutes, no frills, predicable repetitive structure, because that's what we inherently crave in our souls or some other reason? that's an obvious one

George Outhwaite @georgeouthwaite.bsky.social · 2d

theory that the reason people over 50 can't shut up about how there is no good art anymore is because our short form capitalist culture conditions us to prioritise the relative uniqueness of a sensational experience over emotional connection and craft

The exact tenor of knowing people are going to mistreat you if you do the thing you think everyone should be doing, and choosing to do it because you know that, if they do, that mistreatment will be Wrong; autistic self-awareness in the face of moral opposition. A sort of fuck-it hopeful fatalism

What do you think she was trying to convey with this t-shirt?
