two one-year-old cats on a gray armchair. one has patchy black and white fur, and is sitting upright. the other has black fur, and is crouched. they’re both staring at the camera with the intensity of a thousand suns.

I don’t think all cops are bad because of the actions of a few. I know all cops are “bad” because all cops, as a condition of their employment, swear to enforce all laws, including laws which are unjust and initiate violence on peaceful people. It’s the job they are sworn to do. Pledging to suspend morality and logic in order to unquestioningly impose the will of psychopaths and sociopaths on your fellow man is morally unacceptable. So yes, all cops are bad, but not because of the actions of a few. There are good people, and there are cops who are otherwise good people. But there are no good cops.

Tumble text post from user nitewrighter: Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: But I have a bullet journal and I meditate now. Tiny OSHA Me: Boss, the fascism.

a gorgeous green tinted wild type neocaridina shrimp peeks out from a hole in a dragonstone, sitting next to a large orange pumpkin neocaridina shrimp. a canopy of java moss hangs over their heads, and many little specks float around from a recent food tablet that was placed nearby.

a diagonal view of the test tile wall i made, with circular glaze test tiles arranged in a grid displaying layering combinations. the tiles where the top and bottom glazes are the same are slightly larger than the others.

two ghasts from minecraft, white octopus-looking monsters. they are facing each other, with one at mid-height to the other. the caption is “she ghastly on my nethers” referring to the nether, which is the world where the ghasts live

full view of the shrimp tank, with many orange pumpkin shrimp and blue dream shrimp visible.
a ten gallon rimless tank with several plants, a large rock with many holes, and a log tube. there is a moss ball on the layer of white sandy substrate in the front, which sits above dark gravel. there are a few bright orange pumpkin shrimp on the rock, the log, and the patch of dwarf baby tears. a loach is peeking out from the bottom right corner of the rock.

Post from Alejandra Caraballo (@esqueer.net): Fanta was created so coke could sell soda in nazi Germany around a trade embargo. IBM sold the machines that were used to track and tabulate holocaust victims. Henry Ford inspired Hitler. Big business has always collaborated with fascism. Today's businesses are bastards who are no different.
They Will Call You Violent If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term of. ten deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of imprisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.
Know your protest rights: 1. You don't need a permit to protest in response to breaking news and you don't need a permit to march in the streets or along sidewalks, as long as you're not obstructing traffic or access to buildings. 2. When you are lawfully present in any public space, you have the right to photograph anything in plain view, including federal buildings and the police. 3. If you believe your rights have been violated, when you can, write down everything you remember, get contact information for witnesses, and take photographs of any injuries. 4. If you get stopped by the police, ask if you're free to go. If they say yes, you have the right to walk away. 5. If you get arrested, you have a right to ask why. Otherwise, say you wish to remain silent and ask for a lawyer immediately. Don't sign, say or agree to anything without a lawyer present. Know your protest rights. ACLU

Screenshot of a twitter post by user aschewholesin (@aschewholesin) which states: “The idea that vengeance against evil makes you just as bad as the evil you're taking up arms against feels very much like something the bad guys would make up and spread across popular culture to make sure we don't shove their head in a guillotine, just saying”

Beneath the image, two replies read “your daily reminder” and “it’s official, genAI is now called PISS”
