If you ever needed a reminder that the goverment will do anything to get their way..this is it. The Supreme Court has upheld the Muslim Ban.
If you're curious, the Tmux sticker was from Unixstickers before their product lines fell quickly. The anti-fascism one..I don't know. But the pan pride floppy? from @Mous@mastodon.art !
So..finally I have some laptop stickers!
Trying to get back onto FurryMUCK, but Trebuchet seems to freak out over a self-signed TLS certificate.
GlobalPol, Pep talk
It might be pointless, but it's not going to kill me to try.
Standing up against evil is the only way to make things better. Tumblr decided to conspire with Nazis, and I walked away from it as a result over FOSTA/SESTA.
Don't be prepared to give it, and if it's true that we're all going to die? Fight anyway. Don't go down without a fight.
If we fight, we have a better chance of winning than if we don't. Always remember that.

Offensive "memes"
Seriously though. If a standard such as "don't mock austic people" is too high a behavioral standard for you, I don't want to know you.
@catgirl Yeah, ZeniMax, Bethesda's parent company owns ID software now, so..maybe the former.

content warning, thanks, meta
@mallaidh
so much this.
we are only as strong as we are gentle with eachother, and sharing is caring only if it's properly CW'd.
If a triggering toot is massively boosted, it can make the fediverse toxic for marginalized/hurting people for *days*, which can severely impact their (cough, my, cough) ability to be online at all.
I frequently mute people who use CW text unethically, too.
Put the info behind a wall.
Let me choose.

CWs, activism
coz usually the people willing to put the most work in, even for the most urgent and disastrous political horrors... are multiply marginalised people.
multiply marginalised people are more likely to have ptsd and are at more risk of burnout and have more engagement with activism. AND less avenues of treatment available.
this idea that scaring fence-sitting liberals is worth more than helping seasoned activists work safely.. it's not realistic. people ignoring it aren't gonna help

CWs
if you would like me to be able to read urgent things, please CW it so that not only can i read it, i can also responsibly boost it, and like, KEEP reading it if i have to stop
"i'm not CWing this because it's important to actually read it" translates to "i'm not CWing because any time this pops up anywhere in your life, nomatter how much you've read or done about it elsewhere, you should be forced to read it"
do u really think the people who don't open "urgent, USpol" are willing to act?

Apparently some ISPs decided @SDF was "dark web" and blocked it. How long until @tildetown gets the same thing? Your mastodon instance? Netflix?
Here's proof that Male Sylveons can be cute!

hot take???
@KS@is.a.qute.dog Sorry to hear all that. Men can be cute, too!
Compressing gaming footage to less than about 93 MB is going to be tough.
You know what would be cool, anti-facist anime.
@cat Uhh..what? What plane of reality are they working in?

uspol rant
I'm already sick of my taxes going to putting OTHER people in camps and I dread the day my taxes get used to put ME in a camp, because I know damn well when it happens the 75% of the country left of 45 won't be able to do anything because we're TRYING TO FUCKING SURVIVE, and of course right wingers will have perfect excuses for why it was a great move.
Hell of a time to try learning how to be a better artist, or figure out personal issues or anything else related to being human.

Look, we could riot in the streets, which would harm lots of us and might not do anything. We could do what we're doing now, legally permitted action and trying to just LIVE, and it'd up our temporary physical and emotional survival but have long term costs.
Because part of being abused by a narcissist is, anything that happens proves the narcissist right and justifies doing whatever it wanted to do anyway. ANYTHING.

pol, ICE, tech / microsoft
if you work at microsoft, or at any company that serves ICE or any agency that assists them, give your bosses hell for it. publicize the contracts. demand answers. agitate! organize!
if you have ever dragged IBM for helping nazis organize concentration camps, recognize ICE's camps for what they are and hold collaborators to account! ✊ 🔥
