Happy International Nonbinary People’s Day to our nonbinary siblings around the world.

Nonbinary people have always existed and always will do.

Anyway if the Feds do visit your door because of a post just remember: they’re not different than any other cops. No matter how much they “just want to talk.” Don’t let them in your home without a warrant, don’t say anything but “I don’t talk to police without a lawyer present.”

@lissy Sometimes, being big is also about leaning down towards potential friends! :3

WNYC On the Media Breaking News Consumer's Handbook: Active Shooter Edition (audio version with transcript at link, first ~92 seconds is ads)

1. In the immediate aftermath, news outlets will get it wrong.
2. Don't trust anonymous sources.
3. Don't trust stories that cite other news outlets as sources.
4. There's almost never a second shooter.
5. Pay attention to the language the media uses:
"We are getting reports"... could mean anything.
"We are seeking confirmation"... means they don't have it.
"[News Outlet] has learned"... means they have a scoop or they're going out on a limb.
6. Look for news outlets close to the incident.
7. Compare multiple sources.
8. Big news brings out the fakers. And the photoshoppers.
9. Beware reflexive retweeting. Some of this is on you.

I was curious how big Alistor would look against my local skyline. A very good Lorge and adorabig.

Thought about making a Scyther design for an anthro, and Aermadia was inspired with some back and forth with a friend.

On their trip home my Taiwanese colleague was shocked that #UK border officer that #BRP will expire at the end of this year; they told me and I said "yeah I knew but I have not heard anything or get any notification"....we both emailed our HR and HR said "oh HomeOffice told us this website for the new #evisa please try it and let us know". We went and did it just like that....HR and us are both relieved...all along we thought why no one from HO announced this 🤬? Many thanks for our HR though

For fellow #immigrants and what is worth, this is the website: https://www.gov.uk/get-access-evisa

Got a bunch of new Stickers for my laptop.

I have gotten quite a bit of art of Saxxon over the years but I should focus on my other characters, especially Pleska - her design is really cool, and everyone who's done art has contributed small adjustments along the way (thanks to artistic liberty) that have become permanent.

LGBT and Marginalized Voices Are Not Welcome on Threads https://www.macstories.net/stories/lgbt-and-marginalized-voices-are-not-welcome-on-threads/

Here’s a story that I wish I didn’t have to write. But it’s high time that we make this a central point anytime, anywhere Threads is pictured as a decent alternative to Twitter and Mastodon. It is only that if you’re a straight, white male.

For over 30 years, puberty blockers have been safely used to delay precocious puberty in non-trans children aged 6 to 12 years. Trans youth receive them at the onset of puberty and often for shorter lengths of time.
