we should be approving all the datacenters tech firms could ever want but making them pay for the grid and water infrastructure needed to support them, then when a contraction occurs in the market states end up making off with a bunch of subsidized infrastructure

This is an incredibly marten-coded sentiment

I feel like this is the case with Doctor Who in general - the rotating writers often meant you got some really fantastic stories, and then a number of alright to good ones

The Marvel-ization of movies is kind of insane.

Literally watched a totally unrelated movie and it had ALL of the Marvel Blockbuster β€œLook at the cool team action sequence, everyone is cool.” moments, and multiple other direct-from-marvel quote lines WHILE THE MARVEL SCORE PLAYED UNDER THE MELODY

Just like in the wise words of Waymond

Kindness is a choice, a strategy, for navigating the chaos of the world

Choosing to be kind, but steady, is the most powerful stance you can take

Kindness is helping people be their best self
Niceness is keeping yourself at arms length
They're not the same

this person has figured out how to give people "functional tetrachromacy" using extensive training and glasses with a pair of dichroic filters with differing spectral response

When people are scared, when they are(nt) thinking of the children, they aren't thinking at all, and they are fucking stupid.

There are so many interests that was to keep people stupid, because stupid people are easy to control

One of the most salient thoughts for me lately is the lens of:
a matter of national security to end the war on drugs
OR
to make all energy electric
OR
enshrine LGBTQ+ rights
OR
etc

Because these are all buzzword boogeymen constantly used as oppressive devices for bad actors to control narratives

Real talk! I'm so happy to see people holding panels like these at cons! ❀️ As someone who will be 10 years sober in May, this makes me SUPER happy to see. I genuinely might hold a panel like this myself in the near future :)

"Marten who thinks he is cool"

It is March tenth and I had to draw a MARten! I always struggle to take marten anthros seriously cos they are so darn cute. This one thinks he is not just a cute slinky, but he is wrong :P

This is fast drawn so please ignore some mistakes & sketchiness!

It's MARTEN day!

No, not the other guy, that day should honestly be in September where it belongs. Since when does "10" sound like "ee-oh", anyways?

Anywho... give me eggs. You wouldn't say no to this face, would you?

A pine marten, known as Posh Pine, sitting on a golden throne holding a golden staff with large crystal with a smug look on his face propped up by one arm while wearing a gold crown.

I segway into this exact topic through other topics often.

People aren’t made to exist in individual-luxury-vacuums, but surrounded by families - villages.

I often really wonder how much mental disorder happens because people live in a you-vs-the-world state instead of surrounded-by-your-world

Our brains weren’t meant to have instant communication.

Stuff like read receipts are an attempt to make IM like irl communication, where you can directly talk to a person, but it’s a totally different modality of talking to someone.

Since it's tax time. If you're gonna use a tax filing site use FreeTaxUsa.
Federal taxes are free, I paid $15 to do my state taxes. If you have complicated taxes they have help for like $20. Been using it for 3 years and it has never steered me wrong

Conservatives always freak out about having to explain gay topics to their kids but nobody talks about the children in San Francisco seeing all these billboards and having to learn about B2B SaaS CRM at such a young age.
