And remember, children, if you work on Friday, Saint Paraskeva will stuff your head full of straw.

A tribute to St. Friday, the spinner saint, patroness of women's crafts.

It's so nice to see black men be vulnerable and fun.

OP: when I saw this at the aquarium, it instantly reminded me of The Desharow Merman (cr 饼饼)

You can adopt a station that is struggling to make up funds here:

I've flipped through a couple stations and it's all small towns, some of which have lost over 92% of their funding

I'm so sad in such a strange way to hear about the Corporation for Public Broadcasting officially shutting down. It's a weird feeling. Most of it is the intellectual level of "oh this is SO fucking bad and terrifying that we'll no longer have federally supported public information channels anymore, it will ALL be through the private market, not to mention the stark reminder of the US government's continued descent into anti-intellectualism and fascism," all of which makes my stomach sink.

But on a smaller level it is the disappearance of something that was so ubiquitous to American childhood. I'm pretty sure the vast majority of Americans can hear the exact intonation of this phrase in their head: "This program made possible by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, and by viewers like you. Thank you."

There is a lot more that could be said about the likely repercussions of this. In addition to being sad, I am also exceedingly furious. I wish despair upon all the Republicans who helped kill the CBP just because it took its mission seriously and refused to broadcast overt right-wing propaganda as news.

an underrecognised tragedy of AI slop isn't just that any piece of contemporary art could be AI, any news reel could be AI, it's that now just any video of something vaguely nice and whimsical happening in the world could be AI

this is about the trampoline bunnies

Ironically, hard light is bad for recording sexy time.

It will highlight every pore, every vein, every wrinkle on your nutsack.

One day I will end this ring light fad. It is my ultimate side quest.

This was the most centered photo of the chimera chick's back, so you can see the difference between his left side (blackshoulder mutation) vs his right side (barred wild wing pattern). Not pictured here, but he also has one pink leg (blackshoulder mutation leg) and one chocolate/pied leg (purple mutation leg).

But also can I just say holy shit??? His father's saddle didn't come in with half as good color as this. It was a pale aqua (beautiful in its own right but not a good purple), like stained glass. Chimera is knocking it out of the park on his saddle feathers coming in BRIGHTLY colored a really beautiful royal blue/purple.

The problem with having a child with an attorney that has spoken to the child like an adult since birth is that she's 4 years old and she's negotiating the order in which we're going to complete tasks as a family to best suit her idea of an ideal day.

While it's true that mandatory identity verification will inevitably be leaked on a massive scale, the thing you need to understand when framing these arguments is that a lot of the folks in favour of such measures don't see that as a bad thing. Full de-anonymisation of the Internet is their explicit goal. Like, the actual objective here is for everyone to have a public record of everything they say and do – online or otherwise – linked to their government ID. The universal panopticon is the good ending as far as these people are concerned.
