in Norway, "up and not crying" is a not uncommon response to "how's it going" type questions, and I feel like that's a very reasonable standard to hold oneself to especially nowadays

PSA: Lilies are dangerously toxic to cats. Even one small sniff or nibble can cause kidney failure and death. Rapid vet intervention cannot reliably save their lives.

*Never* keep true lilies (lilium) in the house if you have cats.

Make sure your family and friends know too! There's no warning at the store about the danger of lilies, so they get around in the holidays.

Close-up of a wax plant (Hoya carnosa) that shows the fuzzy corolla and fused male and female reproductive parts (gynostegium). Flowers emit a cinnamon/chocolate scent, especially at night, and are pollinated by moths. #botany #Apocynaceae #flowers #pollination

I've seen a growing number of Very Online Leftists decrying the idea of putting CWs on politics. OK, I get it, you're mad that people might look away, but I disagree vehemently with you. The thing about CWs is that they're not preventing you from looking at a thing, they're just giving you enough time to gird your loins for what could be a very triggering subject. So, by all means, please DO put CWs on politics. I'll still click through, but it'll give me the ten seconds I need to say "Whew, OK, oh boy, here we go..."

And I'm not sorry about it either.

CVS is getting sued for having customers pay for a million dollar settlement to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) by asking customers to top off their purchase and fraudulently telling them they are ‘donating’ it to the ADA. Next time you see this when checking out: decline.

What do you think?
Is it worth finishing?

When someone is talking about anti-oppression in any context (their projects, profile, posts, speeches, art, memes, whatever), and they omit your specific identity/identities, do you feel left out or like they don’t care about you?

For example, if someone says their space is anti-bigotry but doesn’t specifically list the types of oppressions/prejudices they won’t tolerate, would you consider that a safe space for yourself or loved ones?

some more #trekposting for yall since it seems you can't get enough of it

I recently found this picture, taken in the 1930s at Le Monocle, one of the lesbian nightclubs in Paris at the time.

It's a great picture, with a lot of different people, absorbed in their own merriment, and at the center, my new reference for the concept of badass.

I don't know who she is, but she deserves a long, adventurous backstory -- maybe involving mutiny aboard an airship, spies, and broken hearts.

She's the only one looking at the camera, so the story is definitely about her.
