it is weird that celiac stuff has become part of the 'culture war'. because it's literally just a medical thing.... I get super anemic unless I cut a certain protein out of my diet, because it bulldozes the villi in my intestines. but if I post about it, right-wingers send me gore images. I guess you can't expect shitty people to be logical, but I've even heard lefty people make fun of gluten stuff, and it's like why are you mad about this??? why are you pissed off that I'm eating bread that doesn't taste as good so that I can have blood in my body? it's so morally neutral.
obviously furries can be 100% nonsexual for a lot of ppl but once you start talking down to furry kinksters & acting like this whole damn community wasnt built on people wanting to fuck tony the tigers brains out or some shit youve lost the plot entirely to be honest
Working on the turrent miniboss for today's Nightmare Kart dev post!
The turret's gimmick is that the player has to duck underneath the train to get around the armor plating and shoot the exposed tank on the back, which will cause the turret to take damage and turn around, restarting the gameplay loop.
What you see here is a very sloppily programmed proof of concept, so expect it to be a little more polished in the near future! Support this games development on patreon!
“Bondi has now made public statements assessing the facts and the law of the Signal case while resisting calls for an investigation. These are simply astounding actions by a sitting attorney general. “The Justice Department’s approach thus far stands in contrast with its customary role of examining serious national-security breaches,” the WSJ reported in the most understated possible way. The abiding concern all along has been that Trump would place loyalists at the Justice Department in part to protect himself and his administration from legal consequences for their wrongdoing – a permanent coverup mechanism to ignore, bury, and disregard executive branch lawlessness. Pam Bondi is eagerly filling the role of a loyalist attorney general. This is what it looks like.”

I hope this helps anyone who's trying to design their oc using a wheelchair, it's not a complete guide but I tried my best! deffo do more research if you're writing them as a character
I literally am in tears at the beauty of this. So much care and skill into making this exceptionally personal one-off greeting card.
We have GOT to stop being assholes to people with receding and balding hairlines. There's not a single person that it can't affect. It affects trans men, particularly on hormones, it affects trans women, particularly those not on hormones, it affects people with endocrine issues, something that's becoming more prevalent and common, and it can affect people without a particular cause, including cis women. It's a normal part of being human and we NEED to stop dehumanizing and humiliating ppl for it
David Lynch just passed. If everyone could spend the next few weeks becoming a little more offbeat, a little more in touch with the strangeness of our world, maybe we could begin to replace the massive void he leaves. We may not see another artist like him reach prominence within our lifetimes, so please go out and search, in the world and in yourself. Embody the truth, lead with love, hold the hands of those outstretched to you, and go as far as you can, no matter how deep and how dark, face it with love.
and it's not even about keeping people “dumb” as it is about keeping people functionally illiterate. if they can barely read, they won't read those naughty books that might make them question the reality handed down to them. they won't have any historical context for the situation they are in or any knowledge of the struggles and victories that followed.
they won't read those books that cause the reader to feel empathy for somebody living a different walk of life from them. they won't read the policies of their chosen political parties or the statistical results of those policies or even the religious scripture in which they believe they're basing their decisions.
and if they can barely write, they will find it harder to transmit their own thoughts and ideas—even orally.
less literacy means people watch and listen to short sound bites and slogans and video clips over anything with depth or anything that brings context or nuance into the discussion. less literacy means creating a society of easy marks ready to be fooled, ready to be misled. less literacy means less ability to understand the scientific knowledge humanity has amassed and less ability to realize when they are being abused. less literacy means less imagination, lower attention spans, and lacking awareness.
Fuck nazis. Taxes are great actually. The public service should be valued. Unemployed people deserve adequate financial support. Regulation saves lives and money. Focus on prevention not punishment.
You should care about other people.
