First ape to go to the watering hole with a container and put some of the water in it so that they could drink more later without returning to the watering hole must have been lauded as a fucking genius.

This is the age of sin frfr

Jacket concepts for a jump jacket I’ve had for like a year now and haven’t decked out yet. I’ve got a bunch of alt concepts for stuff on this one n I’m really vibing with it. In times like this, I’m intent on making my stance as a trans person clear. I’m not backing down and I’m not detransitioning. I just got my hands on my hormones and I’m not going to let go. Let there be no mistake: Trans rights are human rights, you can’t erase us, death before detransition.

Credit to @daggers-drawn-returns for the biohazard gender concept art, she’s a real one for this design, absolute banger.

Long day. The size, speed, and chaos of the last 10 days of the second Trump administration has been calculated and intentional. They have a big pile of abhorrent ideas which they’ve selected from the Project 2025 menu, and they’ve decided to front-load their release over the earliest of these first 100 days. Doesn’t matter that many will be struck down in the courts or overturned later. The point is that 1) the disorder and confusion will scatter the dissenters and make it hard for them to focus criticism on any single policy, 2) some of what they’re throwing at the wall will stick and become semi-permanent so long as the next Democratic administration lets it, 3) whether they win or lose, they succeed in weakening the federal government in a way that makes it harder for any future leaders to accomplish anything at all, strengthening the relative political power of the private sector.

They want you demoralized and to feel like it’s hopeless, but it’s only hopeless if you let them convince you it is. Rest well, stay informed, and take care of yourself during the fights ahead. These four years will be a marathon not a race

I think it was pokemon indigo league, or possibly digimon

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

Hey idk how many folks know, but some covid tests can also test for the flu. Look for rapid tests that are labeled for both covid and influenza. CVS and pharmacy carries ones for 12.99. If the government isn’t reporting bird flu, it unfortunately comes down to us to self test. Keep your friends safe, your tests stocked, and your masks on.

Ironic that Wikipedia is now a more reliable source than you’d think because of AI. The average person should use Wikipedia as a database to find information as all their sources should be cited down at the bottom of the page. Check out those sources when you’re citing evidence.

just as a general reminder

learn how to fact-check for yourself, cause soon enough, most online sources won't be reliable

I wish to all the people who are working in the government to make things safer to queer people despite the hostile environment they face all the joy in the world. May they ever be happy and may their kindness be known to the world as heroics

So… I got a notification from the State Department at like 8 PM Pacific that my passport was approved, and I was quietly thankful and stunned bc my legal gender in Oregon is listed as X, or undeclared, and that's what's on my passport. I'm pretty sure someone(s) worked late to get the X passports done today.

I was already really grateful to whoever in the Seattle Passport Office worked late to get these things processed on the last Friday before That Man gets back into office... and then I got a notification that my passport shipped at fucking midnight Pacific and whoever got that shit out the door so it couldn't be picked up on Monday and like, denied and shredded?

They're my fucking hero.

Someone get halware to see this, absolutely hilarious

i had a weird little dream during a 15 minute nap that i watched a youtube video called The 2025 Popular Homestuck Blogger Spectrum where someone that looked like a blend of a 30 year old andrew hussie and michael scott from the office put up a big white board with arrows pointing in either direction and started slapping urls and pfps on it with little monologues that i don't remember. all i really noticed was that a blog called "halware" was on the far end of one side and on the exact opposite was me. it had 13 views and i scrolled down in the middle of watching to a comment by, and i shit you not, "shadowthehedgehog" with a closeup pfp of shadow from SA2 and i woke up as i read the words "i'm still the coolest"

reminders for today:

if you or someone you know might need it in the next few years, purchase plan b. the shelf life of plan b is 4 years, and we might not be able to access it as easily as we can now in the days ahead.

if you are larger/plus size: go online and purchase ella instead of plan b. plan b is less effective if you aren’t under 160 pounds.

if you can, purchase books that project 2025 is looking to ban.

mass deportations are starting. if you see ice vehicles or agents, yell ice raid and la migra as loud as you can.

if someone asks who you voted for, keep your mouth shut. they’re fishing for traitors.

if anyone, anyone at all asks about your neighbors or their legal status in the us, you know nothing. don’t be the reason that their family is separated.

if anyone asks about your religion or lack thereof, keep it vague. this administration will look for any excuse to persecute you.

your friends are trans or queer? for the next four years they’re not. don’t expose anyone’s status as a trans or queer person to anyone else, even if you think you can trust them.

did someone you know get an abortion? no, they didn’t. they were never pregnant.

in short, don’t be a snitch, and keep to yourself these next four years. we’ll make it through this even if it seems hopeless at times.

this is all i can think of at the moment, but i’ll be adding on to this as the day continues.

we can survive this. we’ve survived before, and we’ll survive again.

I want you to remember:

The fascists hate you too and they just will pretend otherwise until after they've killed the rest of us, before they turn on you.
