- The fucking Cato Institute. Bunch of libertarian shitheads so it's not like they could be plausibly accused of having a left-leaning bias. Not that the white nationalists making political decisions right now care about plausibility, but maybe some folks you know do.
- The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023. The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets. ow.ly/jy8a50Y8kM3
- I wonder if I move and talk like a person who's used to YouTube or Twitch when I'm recorded on video, because when I see videos of people who are used to being on TikTok, there is a specific way they move their hands and a cadence to their speaking that is consistent and immediately recognizable
- I suspect they don't know they're doing it, but it looks weird and alien to me Which makes me wonder if the way I talk and move also looks weird and alien and I'm just accustomed to some sort of video norms and can't notice
- This makes me think of @d20love.bsky.social
- Last night's Deltarune Chapter 3 VOD is now up on YouTube and timestamped for your convenience! In which Kris makes choices, we learn more about the Dark World's origins, and Susie plays multiplayer games exactly like I do. I had a lot of fun with this one. youtu.be/ey9Rd2oJmrE
- If you need something to put on in the background today, reminder that the World's Slowest Deltarune Playthrough continues this evening, and in the meantime, you can watch me take "3 hours to get through 8 minutes of game" (ish) as we talk about life, feelings & more www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGD3...

- If you're sharing any documents or posts containing descriptions of abuse, *please* mark it with a comment warning There are a lot of random awful triggers just floating around without warning and it is like a minefield for the very many people with experience of related trauma
- This should not be as fucking funny as it is but I cackled, definitely recommend scrolling through
- So hey, folks, I hope you're all already fighting transphobia whenever you come across it - but now you've got one more thing to shut people down with if they start spinning that shit in front of you (Literally the Epstein Files include emails of him and his buddies planning to push it)
- You probably won't be able to change the minds of people whose brains are already rotting due to transphobia But you can keep that shit from being able to exist out in the open, send it scuttling back to the dark gross sewers where it belongs And maybe you can get through to the ignorant
- I hope it's obvious I am directing this at cis folks. Now is the time for allies to do the ally thing and fucking punch some transphobes in the face, metaphorically or literally. Trans folks, you take care of yourselves right now, *please* give yourselves space and grace to rest and survive.
- Yeah, I was initially trying to figure out what the ruckus was all about and it turns out they cast one of the most beautiful women in film to play one of the most beautiful women in history and I just don't see the problem? I mean, have you *seen* her?
- I may not be the most detailed or skilled cosplayer, but Locke Cole is my favorite character from anything ever and I was really happy to be able to cosplay him again at MAGFest Just need to get a Celes to lean on my arm (and protect my useless-in-combat ass from monsters)
- Am I really Lauren if I'm not doing melodrama and tragedy all the time My sister's friend gave me this magicite and the photographer suggested I pose with it like this, so let's say this is Locke considering the Phoenix esper (even if it's not cracked)
