Ear & Tail furries i know arting it up at the local live art event 👋

my9games.com thing, based on how obsessive I was over them, whether that was gameplay, story, art direction, or the entire package

Stayed up late helping a friend move and my ass is thoroughly sore (literally, it was a lot of lifting)

Wish I had no bones wish I was a jellyfish

Mohammed is struggling to get some shelter and food for him and his family, please help by sharing and considering a donation if you can

A painting of several poses of the same short white man in white leather and white wash jeans, dancing vigorously, on a neon orange background. He has a kind of 'what if Ted N*gent was a tan trans man not afraid to get a little fruity(-er) while coked up' vibe.

Finally stitched a scan together of a 1.5'x2' painting I did last spring, inspired by The Sweet's song Little Willy.

But the pain is the fun part??

Also, if you're using ground turkey, you wanna add in a little extra fat for flavor. I used butter, but just some extra oil works too. Ground turkey + kidney beans is a very tasty and inexpensive combo.

Made this all the time back when I couldn't afford anything else. You gotta add some onions and bell peppers for fiber, maybe some carrots for added nutrition. I didn't know about Lao Gan Ma back then but it would have been a good addition.

I actually really like the idea of working in childcare, but realistically I don't think anyone would hire me.

If I can offer some amount of care and stability to a child that needs it that would be enough. This world is awful to children and I want to help if I can.

Really would like to foster at least, and maybe do some amount of good in a kid's life even if it's a temporary situation

I am not any closer to this goal than I was a year-and-a-half ago 🥲

2/3 of American culture is now in the hands of the Hapsburgs

More of these shows need soft jazz

Shepherd's pie was a good choice for eating while watching this

The egg sandwich sequence put a smile on my face

Digging the unassuming title drop, instead of a big fancy animated sequence

Appropriate for Dunk's story 'cause he's just a dude trying not to starve rather than a destined prince on a grand quest

Got access to my friend's HBO max so let's check out Knight of the Seven Kingdoms

a horse, tire track, oil wells on fire, a hellscape.

7 - Feminist Class Struggle Class difference and the way in which it divides women was an issue women in the feminist movement talked about long before race. In the mostly white circles of a newly formed women's liberation movement the most glaring separation between women was that of class. White working-class women recognized that class hierarchies were present in the movement. Conflict arose between the reformist vision of women's liberation which basically demanded equal rights for women within the existing class structure, and more radical and/or revolutionary models, which called for fundamental change in the exiting structure so that models of mutuality and equality could replace the old paradigms. However, as feminist movement progressed and privileged groups of well-educated white women began to achieve equal access to class power with their male counterparts, feminist class struggle was no longer deemed important.

Lesbian feminist thinkers were among the first activists to raise the issue of class in feminist movement expressing their viewpoints in an accessible language. They were a group of women who had not imagined they could depend on husbands to support them. And they were often much more aware than their straight counterparts of the difficulties all women would face in the workforce. In the early '70s anthologies like Class and Feminism, edited by Charlotte Bunch and Nancy Myron, published work written by women from diverse class backgrounds who were confronting the issue in feminist circles. Each essay emphasized the fact that class was not simply a question of money. In "The Last Straw", Rita Mae Brown (who was not a famous writer at the time) clearly stated: Class is much more than Marx's definition of relationship to the means of production. Class involved your behavior, your basic assumptions, how you are taught to behave, what you expect from yourself and from others, your concept of a future, how you understand problems and solve them, how you think, feel, act.

The only genuine hope of feminist liberation lies with a vision of social change which challenges class elitism. Western women have gained class power and greater gender inequality because global white supremacist patriarchy enslaves and/or subordinates masses of third-world women. In this country the combined forces junction with conservative immigration policy create and condone the conditions for indentured slavery. Ending welfare will create a new underclass of women and children to be abused and exploited by the existing structures of domination.

The relaxed demeanor of the guy conjuring a fireball to eradicate this person's crotch is sending me

Completely unbothered as I summon utter devastation on your dick and balls

As war spreads like a cancer across the Middle East, driven by Israel and the United States, we cannot forget our brothers and sisters in Gaza. Please give what you can.

What a dumb fucking prick

I hope it happens soon and I hope it happens in threes

or tens

“We will, in fact, be greeted as liberators”

This is evil, the people doing this are evil, the politicians that ordered this are evil, the airmen dropping bombs nd piloting drones are evil, the news media sanctioning this atrocity are evil

"Targeted strikes against leadership" and they're bombing schools and highways

Woke up to the news that my country's military is killing children in Iran

Managed to do some writing and sketching every day this week
