if you don't know, fuel rats are a volunteer player organisation in the space game 'elite dangerous' that travel to people who get stranded without fuel. they don't charge for this.

... elite dangerous galaxy is realistically sized, so even with the games ftl drive it takes like 18 hours of real time to travel from the bubble (of colonized space) to the galactic core and back.

and these people will travel those times\distances to help out some stranded explorer for free.

Newer version of the 6-colour pride flag with a 5-colour chevron on the left side, including trans colours and POC colours. I like this version.

thinking about that statue of jesus as a homeless man sleeping on a bench and how someone called the cops on it

POC inclusive pride flag. Because yes, I can and will find a flower with brown petals!

Good morning.

Washington state Black Lives Matter are calling for a statewide general strike and silent March protest in support of black people on this Friday, June 12th.

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/black-lives-matter-group-in-seattle-meets-with-mayor-durkan-calls-for-general-strike-and-march/

“We’re calling on everyone in Washington state who is able to be there. If you can’t march in Seattle, organize one in your community,” board member Ebony Miranda said in a video news conference, asking people to participate despite the COVID-19 crisis.

“Anti-blackness is a greater threat to our survival, and racism in itself is its own pandemic. It’s killing us. We’re fighting to survive and thrive.”

love how every fictional super-powerful corvid eats the corpse of a god at some point. this is the representation i crave

Black Lives Matter Plaza is cool but don’t let them distract y’all. MLK got a street in every state and they killed him too.

When someone says they "grew out of watching anime" I hear "got burnt out by watching only battle shounen and didn't try branching out to any other genres"

ooh, also normalize having multiple names used concurrently

normalize just. changing names whenever, not for any reason or milestone, just out of boredom

Games Workshop wrote up a Brand Statement for the Warhammer seriesses and it had all the usual stuff about "These worlds are grim and dark but we want to be inclusive of everyone so we will be continuing to expand our storytelling yadda yadda" y'all know the drill by now. But it ended with "And if you feel the same way, wherever and whoever you are, we're glad you are part of the Warhammer community. If not, you will not be missed."

it's honestly weird it how newer phones/tech that uses the internet in general tend to have it so you can't take out the battery

esp when your ips will continue getting tracked as long as you have yr battery connected

i always hated how there's become less and less options for taking it out esp for up to date phone models bc it's easier to reset your phone if you can just take it out. but how they have it to where an masse people can be tracked through their phones without being able to disable it or without a faraday case/fabric really bothers me
