I adore this

The thing you will have to learn if you're involved in on-the-ground activist spaces is that you have to take breaks. The voice in the back of your head saying "no, you have a moral obligation put this cause ahead of yourself" is evil.

You have a moral obligation to not burn yourself out, because whatever contribution to the cause you make by overdoing it now is orders of magnitude smaller than the contribution that'll be lost when you're burnt the fuck out and cannot contribute anymore.

The incredibly skilled leader who goes above and beyond every single day could be supported by the organization to go slightly less above and beyond, and be an amazing leader for multiple years longer instead of flaming out so badly they can never look at a report again.

Activism is not about winning one huge battle, it's about long-term, sustainable work to make things better.

did you know I am a huge fan of dj grooves too? my first impression of a hat in time was picture perfect/big parade, I've always been a fan of him and he is always my #1 choice for dead bird studio and the parade outfit is my favorite outfit in game

i love you beeg penguin !!!

It's also important to note that PBS-funded programs are trying their best to stay afloat despite this! If this news angers you and you have the financial ability to donate, PLEASE throw some money at your local public broadcasting station! If you don't have a local PBS, consider Oregon Public Broadcasting, which has been in continuous operation for over 100 years (first radio, then TV).

^ this site will show you your local station as well as stations that have lost 50% or more of their total revenue

the corporation for public broadcasting has officially shutdown as of today. please donate to your local pbs

Hope people help spread this around!

"Grok is undressing anyone, including minors"

Grok is the tool. X users are doing this. X users are requesting this and Grok engineers facilitated this. Both are liable for this.

Yes, precisely.

also, AI doesn't "undress people" headlines need to stop saying that. AI generates images based on a prompt. Acting like these are real images just makes things worse for the victims.

Ragebaiting my fat dog? More like master baiting my fat hog!!!!!!!!

❗️Great Hog is displeased by this.

The kingly pig looks taken aback by this statement. "You claim to be 'baiting' our kind?.. A master of it, no less - after all the trust we hsve placed in you?"

- Your relationship with the Hog Society 🐖 is now Unfavourable.

To update this, the astronaut didn’t actually do it, she and her wife were getting a divorce and the wife plead guilty to lying to the feds about it

And framing your ex for a crime mid-divorce while they are actively in space is some Agatha Christie level shit

its pretty amazing that when a cat is on you or on a table its pretty big but when a cat is on the floor its actually really small

Also how cats are pretty light until they walk on your chest and then they're the heaviest animals of all time

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

I reblogged this like 9 times kinda jokingly, but software should be able to run on older and less powerful hardware, and consume less power on newer hardware. Like, this is a real problem imo

I completely agree with this but I do need you to understand that the image above is 32 times the size of the lunar mission’s memory

This is what the image looked like compressed to 4 kb

“you can’t hate ICE agents for wanting a fat paycheck” ah yes. people who are willing to disregard all morals for cash. congratulations you played right into their hands you uneducated piece of shit

you couldn’t pay me an amount even feasible to do this evil shit. you are lower than dirt

Man I’d love to see more of these from different cultures.

LMFAO

Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.

Thank you. Historically cemeteries were treated as parks, and it wasn't uncommon to see people not only enjoying the grounds but actually playing games and having picnics there. Somewhere along the line we decided that these activities were inappropriate and that cemeteries were off limits and now people see them as wasted space because they feel too awkward to enjoy them.

They're not only beautiful green spaces but excellent public displays of history and art history, and if you care to look closely you can find out a lot just by studying stones.

For example- notice how few modern headstones are dedicated to young children versus the ones erected before vaccines were widespread.

The cemetery near here has the state's largest silver maple crowning its grounds. Many of the trees in older cemeteries are some of the largest and oldest trees in an area.

Cemeteries are for the living, not the dead. Enjoy them. Go birdwatching in them. Don't be stupid in them sure but don't be too afraid to touch them either.

And for the love of God don't mindlessly support turning them into parking lots and ""luxury"" condos.

phineas and ferb heritage post

getting mega frustrating terf comments on my post and it's maddening bc they're flat out just wrong + stupid. they utterly refuse to do ANY research and spread complete misinformation about vaginoplasty as a way of trying to fearmonger and judge you out of getting one. so im gonna make a post about it.

THEY'RE LYING! VAGINOPLASTY IS NOT AN ""OPEN WOUND"". it is a real sexual organ. dilation is completely normal and was invented for cis women first anyways- a ton of them have to do it, it's no different just because it's happening to a neovagina. vaginoplasty is a very well-researched surgery that has been done over and over and improved like crazy over many many years. there are even multiple ways to do it now, using several different types of tissue for the creation of the vaginal canal if you want one. anyone seeking vaginoplasty, your vagina will be just that! a vagina! a very real, beautiful, working body part! the body is an amazing thing in that it will accept this new body part and figure out how to take care of it like any other. isn't that so cool? isn't it amazing how adaptable the body is, that it can just learn how to work with new parts like that? i promise you, your vagina will be real, it will work like any other vagina, and it is a very beautiful thing. the fearmongering around bottom surgeries has to stop.
