A little Humpday humor.

A comic showing King Midas in the doorway of a house grabbing Medusa’s hand. The snakes on her head are looking at the King. He has turned to stone and she has turned into gold.
Writing on the comic says — MIDAS & MEDUSA: A VERY BRIEF AFFAIR.

It's not that I don't want to, it's that I simply can't."

miss piggy puts up with so much as a woman in show business and her response to misogyny is never to turn the other cheek or take the high road. it's to physically attack people. and she's right.

very good tumblr post about why to make a fursona, and in the replies, a couple followups on how to make a fursona

A Tumblr post by user taffywabbit. The entire text is as follows:

I think more people should make fursonas and I'm dead serious. the process of self-exploration that naturally comes along with creating a funny little critter to represent yourself is SO valuable, as you consider the types of animals you vibe with and what kind of aesthetic/colours/personality/etc suit you and stuff like that (fun fact this process is how I figured out I was transgender lol. not saying that will happen to you but just proving that you can learn a LOT about yourself through this design process and any subsequent design changes)

and then when you're all done, you have a little freak you can do whatever you want with! edit them poorly into memes, commission lavish oil paintings of them to hang in your mansion, use them as a personal online mascot, design a fucked up evil twin for them to fight, soak them in milk and throw them at the wall, anything really. same stuff some people do with fandom characters they really like, except it's 100% yours and nobody can tell you you're doing it wrong! also now you have an animal your friends can associate with you and they'll send you funny pics/videos of that animal that make them think of you. literally it's just wins all the way down for you and everybody you associate with. everyone should have one of these things!!

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this.

What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

Congress is attempting to fast track KOSA and more than a dozen bills that would restrict internet access, censor speech and increase surveillance under the guise of protecting children.

Committee hearings begin tomorrow.

Lawmakers to consider 19 bills for childproofing the internet

KOSA is back, along with more than a dozen other bills that will erode free speech and privacy in the name of protecting kids.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a little bonfire, gazing restfully into the flickering flames.
Blue: Do you ever think of the ways your life could've gone differently?
Green: No.
Blue: Like if you could start over with everything that you know now?
Green: Nope. The odds of finding you again in the right place at the right time are way too low.
Blue: You'd rather have me than a new chance?
Green: Having you is the best possible life.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.
