Jewish lives matter, but what the nation of Israel is doing is genocide and the USA needs to stop supporting them.
Trans rights are human rights.
If you disagree with any of these, don't follow or @ me.
Agreed! IMO we should also gripe on capitalism for yoinking poor person meals & ingredients, and popularizing them to increase the "value" (aka price aka profit margin) out of reach of poor people.
Lobster, oysters, oxtail, whole grain bread, avocados, any trending "superfruits/superfoods"...

It's a verbal blitzkrieg, one people on the sidelines can't even comprehend the scope of because so much of it sneaks in under the radar and the loud bits don't seem related.

And because there's SO MUCH, it's hard to explain in a way they'd understand without sounding like a conspiracy theorist.

I couldn't not read this in the voice/tune from the movie. Good one. 😆

Unless it got cut off by the screenshot, they made no promises about tomorrow or any time after.
This guarantee (as we see it in the pic) is totally meaningless because changes at the scale these companies do take more than a day to implement anyway.

I haven't had occasion to use this method yet, but I suspect it would also work for AI "artists" at art shows and conventions.
If you've truly gotten good enough at art to sell it even as a hobby, you probably have reasons for your work deeper than "I thought it would look nice that way."

I just hope they didn't "restore" the haze out of the Mos Eisley Cantina this time. It's probably the thing I dislike most from the special edition.

Seedy back-country bars lose so much of their back-country-ness if the air isn't visibly full of dust and smoke.

(The card artist's twitter handle, since it's kinda difficult to read in my pic, is ade_ri_00B. I can't seem to find them on bluesky but if I find out they're here too I'll update this thread with it.)

I wonder if that's part of the reason kpop demon hunters went so well for them this year? The description is the title, so the synopsis can be whatever. 😆

Do we know whether this will only apply to new loans that start after July 1, or will it cut off existing funding for current students who don't graduate before then?

Losing your loans a semester or two before graduation would be even worse than not getting to start.

Maybe, but if you keep it and it blows up the entire ship I think that'd be MORE littering.

Especially when higher skill supposedly = better pay, but nobody's offering to pay a reasonable living wage for your skills no matter how you market them.

Clearly the problem is with you, not the system. 🫠

Oh, and since the poll only asked about those four specific identities not the whole LGBTQIA+ umbrella, I suspect the stat could have been even more pronounced with a wording tweak.
I would have answered "no" since I'm cis and aroace.

And the %'s likely even a good bit higher than that, considering there's still quite a few people who aren't publicly out for various safety/comfort/social/whatever reasons.

The transphobic campaign ads from the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia (where I live) *did* make me prioritize voting... just not the way she hoped.
