here's a picture of a kitten named Katara that I took yesterday. I know it won't help all the fascsism but hey! She's cute
gray tabby kitten mostly in the sun on top of a cat tree, eyes half closed, face is the only part of her in the shade

my mom has a shepherd mix that looks rather like a golden wolf and these silver wolves are beautiful and here look at Eva:

feeling bad for one of the wealthiest kids alive and his unwise mother. Grimes deleted "anti-imperialist" from her bio after getting with Elon and is altogether icky but no one deserves to have their ex use their toddler as a meat shield
screenshot from unilad tech: Elon posing like "the thinker", little picture of Luigi Mangione next to him, caption says "Elon Musk lost for words as he addresses killing of United Healthcare CEO after admitting assassination fears" screenshot from Nefarious Filthy Bird/@sasquatch_god probably from Twitter: "I want to stress that Musk is genuinely using his kid as a human shield. he wears a Kevlar vest every time he is out in public and make sure to always carry his kid at his only exposed area (head) when exiting planes, on the tarmac, leaving buildings, anytime he is exposed." screenshot from Tumblr user anarchistmemecollective: "what's wild is that using his kid as a human shield is an admission that his would-be killers have more compassion and humanity than he does. if he actually thought the people seeking to kill him were evil radical terrorists then why would he think having a kid as a human shield would help?"

a text-heavy screenshot from the Wikipedia article "electric car use by country", the important bit is highlighted in green: "As of December 2021, Germany is the leading European country with 1.38 million plug-in cars registered since 2010."

I crochet, lol. Also made the squid pillow but that's not "weird", per se
um. three velvety crochet penises. the pink one is a couple feet long, the gold one is a bit smaller, the purple one is kind of close to life-size. they are posed together on a black leather couch, behind them are a Tyler Thrasher cicada plush and a tiny "giant squid of anger typing on laptop" pillow I made out of an old t shirt

Black and white picture of Carl Sagan looking serious. A quote from his book The Demon-Haunted World: "One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back."

Screengrabs from an episode of King of the Hill. First panel, Bobby says into the rearview mirror, "111 degrees? Phoenix can't really be that hot can it?" Second panel, all the Hills get out of the car, Bobby and Peggy on the passenger side, Hank in the background on the driver's side, and Bobby says, "Oh my god! It's like standing on the sun!" Third panel, Peggy makes a fist and declares to Bobby, "This city should not exist. It is a monument to man's arrogance."

so you admit they're in a cult but you still want to punish them like they're rational actors? interesting. I wonder if that will help anyone or anything...

Interestingly, I know for a fact I used to own this title, pre-pandemic, and now Audible tells me that I don't. I suppose I'll have to see where else I can find it because I'm obviously not giving Amazon any more money for anything ever but especially something I already gave them money for.
screenshot of an Audible title, 'The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism' written by Edward E. Baptist and narrated by Ron Butler. The page indicates that the title has not previously been purchased and costs $21.29. The book has a 4.8 star rating out of 140 reviews.

I'll be going to a different protest Tuesday with my local DSA (if I'm over this blasted respiratory thing, I think I will be) but for Stand Up for Science I think the closest to me is SD and I can't really do that right now, unfortunately. I do really want to road trip to SD...

I always think of the prologue to The Fifth Season by NK Jemisin when people are freaking out about "the world ending". Worlds end all the time. The world has been ending for hundreds of years for some people
PROLOGUE you are here Let's start with the end of the world, why don't we? Get it over with and move on to more interesting things. First, a personal ending. There is a thing she will think about over and over in the days to come, as she imagines how her son died and tries to make sense of something so innately senseless. She will cover Uche's broken little body with a blanket — except his face, because he is afraid of the dark — and she will sit beside it numb, and she will pay no attention to the world that is ending outside. The world has already ended within her, and neither ending is for the first time. She's old hat at this by now. What she thinks then, and thereafter, is: But he was free. And it is her bitter, weary self that answers this almost-question every time her bewildered, shocked self manages to produce it: He wasn't. Not really. But now he will be.

I feel so alienated from everyone I know who regularly uses chat gpt, like they're incomprehensible to me now 😔

so glad she never had to comprehend crypto or fascism. Sweet Kabosu, it is so tragic that they misuse your image thusly 😔
a screenshot of a Tumblr post by user strdstwanderer: two pictures of Kabosu, the shiba inu the doge meme was based on, and the caption "Kabosu did not deserve to have her image turned into cryptocurrency. she did not deserve to have the meme she was known for across the world to become a code word for a fascist coup. Her name is Kabosu. Not Doge."

on the one hand I have stuff to do and on the other hand he's so old and sick and blind and desperate to be on my lap 24/7 that maybe every single other responsibility is irrelevant and to hell with the consequences
