Anyway Not Only Did The “legalization” Of Cannabis In California Fail To Free Black And Brown People

many of the victims senselessly murdered on the 16th do not have family able to pay for a funeral and to lay them to rest peacefully, if you’re able to, please donate and support as much as you can or donate directly to Mario González’s fundraiser for his wife’s funeral service. these people deserve the dignity and respect they deserved while they were with us in life in what we are able to do for them in their passing.

I cannot stress this enough; you need to support public education. You need to assure high standards are being kept and that funding is sustained, increased, and appropriately divested.

The far-right (and even conservative right) have spent decades eroding the belief and support of public education. We are now reaching the end stages of the goal. On the surface it looks like they simply want to defund public schools in order to prop up their charter and religious private schools, but it’s so much worse and you need to be concerned.

Without proper education people are left naive to what is going on around them - in this case it would be the dismantling of democracy. Without learning how to properly understand information and critically think about actions and events you’re likely to just believe what you’re told.

Public education is a pillar of democracy. This is not a question or opinion it is a straight fact.

There is so much more to this and I could continue on for pages but I’m simply asking you to be aware and try to do whatever you can to prop up and support public education before it is truly too late.

I really hate doing this but I'm desperate. My cat Grayson injured himself and cannot walk on his back legs. We went to the emergency vet today and they charged $500 and we have no answers as to what happened to him other than "it might be a spinal issue". $180 just to walk in and the rest went to bloodwork. He's on an antibiotic and steroid medication for the time being, but still needs X-rays and possibly an MRI.

Unfortunately, this visit maxed out my credit card and I cannot afford any more medical care for him, so I'm asking if you can, to please subscribe to my Patreon to help us out. Even if it's just a one-time donation, I would be so grateful and so would my baby boy. I have nothing left and would literally rip my heart from my chest if it meant Grayson could be happy and healthy. This plea is my last resort.

I got Grayson years ago when he was nine months old, a scared little boy who came from a home with over 30 other cats. He was tiny, neglected, and terrified of everyone and everything. It took so long to gain his trust and even now, ten years later, he still has anxiety and runs and hides when scared. Until now, he has always been a healthy cat who enjoys playing with wand toys, catnip, and his favorite Temptations treats. I can't stand seeing him in pain like this.

If you are able, please please consider donating or subscribing to my page so we can hopefully help this sweet little guy out. The link is here.

i understand disliking ads but getting mad on a blazed post of a cats 5th birthday makes me think... perhaps we are losing the thread here

a gunman in georgia just went on a shooting spree targeting asian owned business in a hate crime involving 8 deaths of people with varying nationalities (6 asian, with 1 white woman and 1 white man) last night. (click on photos to enlarge, credits to @frogvk on twitter for the graphics)

Not people saying “Fandom has always been like this” in that vent post I made. No. It hasn’t always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktok….then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.

We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zines…but it was never like this.

The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced ‘content’ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.

Fandoms didn’t die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didn’t mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasn’t this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.

Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all it’s fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.

There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesn’t make you stressed and is still fun.

Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.

We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.
