It's ok to not feel ok.
It's ok if your antlers haven't grown in yet.
It's ok if you can't shape-shift into a raven.
It's ok if you haven't haunted the night for a while.
I know you're doing your best, and that's all any of us can do right now.
every time I see this graph
it reminds me that the status quo thinkers and talkers and powers are an oil slick in our minds
telling us things can never change
what they really mean: STOP THE CHANGE
our answer: no

Don't fight the tides.
Become a wrathful sea witch and harness the immense power of the deep dark sea and the ancient weird creatures lurking within.

sort of related: as a disabled person I've heard the extremely ableist "you'd die in the natural world" comments
but also I've watched parent birds put their all into raising baby birds with missing limbs and un-survivable disabilities. Parental care can be so much stronger than these losers know
Oh, poor baby…
Holy crap. (Thread.) Just because someone has works that are publicly available and/or widely cited, does NOT mean you have permission to create a fake AI "version" of them! Just when I think I can't hate this technology any more than I already do, it goes and does something even worse. 😡
Black and white photo of four kittens spilling out of a basket that seems to be partially full of sticks or vines or something. They’re all short haired, and there is a black haired tuxedo, two tabbies, and what looks like a white and calico. Two of them look remarkably grumpy, and the other two seemed kind of blank and possibly confused.
Historians agree that the real Pandora’s Box was likely a basket of grumpy kittens. Postcard from my collection, mailed 1904.
This is making the rounds again, and I was amused to reread the thread and see that it was shortly before our book came out. Lots has happened in the past 10 months, but the message of this thread still holds.
Is it a good sign for a society when even the shills of capitalism have moved on from hopeful aspiration (use our products to get what you want) to hopeless resignation (use our products to pretend you got what you want)?
having a chronic illness means that i don't have the luxury of waiting until i 'feel better' to live my life
True, but sometimes I can't get out of bed.
Yay! Glad they’re good people!
Those big prints make such fabulous backings!
Love it!
Super cute!
Goals for sure.
This quilt could use some love in the bidding department! Psst. Pass it on!

Photo of a quilt in progress spread out on a table with a sewing machine and lamp on the right hand side. The quilt is rumpled up, done in shades of blue with gray background. On the sewing machine bed is a sticker that says “done is better than perfect.”

In the Ramtop Village they believe that no-one is finally dead until the ripples they cause in the world die away, until the clock he wound up wounds down - until the wine she made has finished its ferment, until the crop they planted is harvest. The span of someone's life, they say, is only the core of their actual existence.' Terry Pratchett - Author and humanist #HumanistBookshelf
A great humanist sentiment by author Terry Pratchett for #WorldBookDay. He was our patron and is sorely missed. GNU Terry Pratchett
My tabby cat Sweetie laying on her back trying to hide under the bed. Which she’s not doing a great job considering half her body is clearly visible, her cute little white belly is poking out, along with part of her mostly black tail, and she also has her front feet curled up and folded.
Sweetie Pie’s hiding abilities could probably use some work..

Fluffy gray cat upside down in a sunbeam atop a cardboard cat chaise - with his hands up over his head and to the right for some reason, as he’s got himself bent around so that his fluffy little crotch is front and center, tail dangling over the side. He only has three legs, if this looks suspiciously like some kind of weird internet joke about AI and too many/not enough limbs on a pic.
yes of course Monty is taking advantage of the surprise! sun this afternoon - in his traditionally dignified and normal fashion
A woman and a cat are peeking out a window - with the words: When you and your cat are both antisocial and someone knocks at the door...😹

I'm so proud of the photos I took today. It was overcast and really not good lighting. But look what I got! There were a pair of belted kingfishers flying around. Squeeee!

"Great question, Croesus! While my status as a delphic model prevents me from elaborating further, I can affirm that by going to war with Persia you *will* destroy a mighty empire. Would you like me to write this up as a set of daily affirmations, or perhaps you'd like a list of mighty empires?"
When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
What if there was a mindful way to steal people’s art, pollute Black neighborhoods, and raise everyone’s electric bill?
really tired of conversations about how we need to get people to spend more time offline that don't acknowledge that one of the reasons people ARE online is their access needs aren't being met in physical spaces. This is especially true for queer people and disabled people.
Ooof — that’s a gold medal in bobbin chicken for sure! 🥇
