“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

This morning, there was a public hearing at Bessemer City Hall in Alabama to discuss the zoning of a new data center, which would likely cause the extinction of a newly-discovered small endemic fish, the Birmingham Darter. Best of luck to the fish people. abc3340.com/news/abc-334...
'We have to act fast': Petition filed to protect rare fish from proposed data center

Annual reminder that the Salvation Army is a hate group
(pro tip: any Christian org with military terminology in their name or description is probably a hate group or at least sympathetic to them)
if you have spare physical change, give it to a panhandler
do not put it in the Bigot Bucket

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season

"Get his ass” Is so unreasonably funny to me. A huge win for the English language. Today's version of "seize him" imo

Really cool of libs to present being gay as a moral failing on par with being a pedophile. Nothing weird or right wing about that at all.

Lots of folks captioning aurora photos like "for a few minutes we didn't think about politics"
guess I'm built different, every time I'm out trying to see night sky stuff I frequently think about how much light pollution is entirely preventable with just a tiny bit of regulation

Last night, I shared the holiest of social media days, "Exploding Whale Day," with Husband. He had never seen or heard of it before! 55 years!
What both a comfort & sweet joy that every year we celebrate Exploding Whale Day together! A connection in humor, absurdity and commonality of amazement.

Lilith Starr is, in our experience, an extremely accessible example of how TST sustains a culture of abuse without Doug or Cevin ever needing to show up in person. Her writing is there to fabricate intellectual credence TST couldn’t get otherwise, and ensure a fresh supply of victims and bystanders.

Remembering my herpetology class in college and the professor brought out a baby gator, didn’t tape its mouth shut, taught us how to hold it and informed us, “If you get bit you’re an idiot!”
No one got bit, that’s because he did not hand the gator to the kids who wouldn’t hold it without the tape.

Once again I'm begging people not to compare politicians to invertebrates. Inverts are cool and diverse and play an important ecological role. Politicians are the lower order.
