Brought my hardcat out for some fresh air and sunshine and he is NOT INTERESTED.
Photo of a small Russian tortoise in a carrier with some Timothy hay on the bottom of it. He is in the furthest possible corner from the open door, which leads out to a lawn with fallen foliage on it.

In the US, so many people are scared to speak out against Trump, they just throw money at him to keep him from cooking up fake lawsuits and throwing tantrums. Meanwhile, the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, flat-out called Trump “racist, sexist, misogynistic, and Islamophobic.”

Finally.

A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.

I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.

It is NOT just for athletes.

State Department visa policy could bar trans people from traveling to U.S.
Violations could result in travel bans beyond just athletes

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...
But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project. "I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

I haven’t embroidered in a hot minute, but hopefully posting some of my past favorites will get me back in gear with an embroidery needle in hand.
A circular embroidery hoop that is embroidered with a replica of a child’s scribbley drawing of two cats and a dog rollerskating under a rainbow on a green field. Above the rainbow the words “I love your Fritzi” are stitched in a child’s handwriting. Close up of an embroidery of a sphinx cat with a large gold chain necklace. The cat is line art on white fabric, with the eyes painted blue with watercolor, and the gold chain fully filled in with metallic gold thread. The cat on the white fabric has a background fabric of fish patterned fabric Large embroidery hoop that reads “BOOBY” with eight blue footed booby birds flying around and interacting with the words in silly ways. Close up of embroidered words that read “ GAY & FRUITY” on fruit patterned fabric.
