Wow, this is great! You’re so talented!

I’m so sorry. Do you have vet records or adoption paperwork in your name? Pets are legally considered property, and having a paper trail to establish she’s yours and help get her back to you. I hope she’s returned soon!

I apologize, I was looking at the wrong comment when I posted. Will delete.

What a shit take. You don’t build community by starting with mockery, criticism, and/or the other tropey bro initiation bullshit.

You either want to help or you don’t. The way you act is dictated by that. Life isn’t some memelord shower conversation.

That’s the fun thing, I don’t disagree with any of your suggestions. I actively want these things to be happening, and I participate as much as possible when my community engages in these types of actions.

You’re comparing apples to oranges, though. Protesting and circling hands around an art center doesn’t come with the same risks or active threats. You’re asking why people aren’t doing this around ICE detention centers when the answer is clear. People have been killed and jailed indefinitely for doing so in the recent past. Not everyone willing to make the same sacrifice, and I’m not in a position to blame them.

I want people engaged, to whatever their entry points are. Let me know when you are gaming to shut down a municions factory, though. I’ll be there.

What a great shot! It’s been a great year for customers at my hummingbird feeder. The best since I lived in Tennessee. It’s a bittersweet time of year here up north wondering when the last day I see them will be.

Yeah, you addressed nothing about my point about the value about the arts.

Also, how is this a red line regarding the Kennedy Center? Americans have been rightfully protesting about all kinds of things, including the genocide in Gaza. Were those red lines, too?

It’s normal to care about and participate in multiple things at the same time.

What a fallacious take. They’re not protesting the ability to go to “boujie” shows. They’re protesting the silencing of artists and standing up for art in general. Historically, fascists attack the arts to hurt our ability to dissent and unite as a community. Seems like an important thing to do in the US right now.

Lots of us care about a wide variety of things. It’s usually not helpful to judge others so flippantly for what they speak out for when it’s something positive.

Let’s just start by recognizing that this is a fucking exhausting time to be alive if you care about other people, the environment, the climate, or anything else we should be focusing on taking care of. Every day I fall down the doom spiral of bad news. It’s so dismal, and there’s only so much any individual can do about the giant flaming tire fire that is the state of current affairs.

The arts have been an important part of human culture since we stopped merely surviving and started building societies. Probably before that. The Kennedy Center has been a focal point for artists standing up against Trump, and I fully support anyone involved. Fascism targets art and culture for a reason, and we need to fight them on any and all fronts we can.

I can’t believe I have to defend people literally putting their bodies on the line to fight against Trump. Saturn devouring his child.

Cat.

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted, because this is sadly correct. Black market wildlife trading has driven some species to the brink of extinction. We also already have idiots breeding wild cat hybrids, like Bengals and Savannahs, so there’s a well established market already.

When I was little my friends and I would often fight with the boys in our neighborhood for doing this. We ended up rescuing a fair amount of animals from them, but I’ll never forget the white out rage I felt when I realized what they were doing and wondering how many times it happened before.

I have a stupid and strong fear of spiders, but this community is helping me appreciate them more. Especially the jumping spiders.

That’s the worst. I broke my small one on the right like that years ago, and it’s been easy to rebreak it since. Sucks.

Mmm, a queefy quarter pounder!

You don’t get to decide how allies present themselves, my friend.

Allies don’t come dressed in black or white. Your life will be more complete if you accept help.

The reality is a little more sadly stereotypical. I enjoy making art, and I’ve loved unicorns since before I can remember. I’ve drawn a lot of different kinds of unicorns, but a plant crossover was never on my radar before. This picture made a fun little firework go off in my brain.
