Please support this game! I've been following it forever and the developers obviously put a lot of love into finally repping my people as Not Just Generic Bad Guys To Be Slaughtered in QuickTime Events, but the unabashed horse girls we truly are. I really love how outspoken she is about representing proper care and compassion for these animals in the industry too.

There’s some really fun stretch goals! I know a lot of folks are hoping we get to the Falconers. That would add such a fun element to the game. 🥰

fatphobia and ableism is so insidious. You can look up like, food, and it'll say "eating a lot of food causes diabetes" and you're like oh dang what? I thought we didn't know the cause of diabetes. So you look up what causes diabetes and it says "we still don't know what causes diabetes" bruh they're just making shit up to give people eating disorders

[aquilegiaformosa]

it’s becoming clearer that “being fat makes you diabetic” is actually misapplied observation and like, backwards cause and effect. insulin resistance is the main factor in type 2 diabetes. it was thought being fat made you insulin resistant. turns out it’s the other way round; insulin resistance causes the body to store fat at a greater rate. like yes, once the weight is gained it can then contribute more to resistance and things can snowball, but the initiating factor is not being fat.

[x-i-l-verify]

#type 1 is caused by no insulin production type 2 is caused by insulin resistance #and what causes the resistance or pancreatic damage is often uncertain #absolutely poor diet and lack of exercise can EXACERBATE EXISTING TYPE 2 DIABETES #but eating carbs and eating sugar will not give you diabetes; neither t1 or t2 #also keto is a fucking scam and a lie and puts people in the hospital on a regular basis

[the-perks-of-neurodivergency]

Also worth mentioning how hard it is to find good advice around healthy eating or exercise because almost all of the information available assumes your goal is to lose weight. So you'll find a hundred articles for how you can reduce calories, but nothing about how you can eat more vegetables while managing a budget and still feeling satiated. Because professionals assume your goal is to lose weight, not to feel better in your body. It's so incredibly frustrating.

[hemipelagicdredger]

repeating just because people need to hear this:

You don't GET Type 2 diabetes from being fat. Type 2 diabetes MAKES YOU put on fat. We had the causality backward

[jabberwockypie]

Also the lack of exercise equipment rated for larger people to use it safely, as well as how much harder it is to find adaptive information on how to do some exercises as a larger person.

[gelphienation]

I mean surely we all grew up feeling like there was a wrongness inherently deep inside us that will endure for the rest of our lives

asexual sex workers are braver than any US marine

[tongue-twists]

"but how can be asexual and also sex worker" idk man it's just a job. I doubt most people who work in retail have a kink for stocking shelves.

[doyouremem8erme]

Can confirm. I work in a grocery store kitchen and the meat/seafood guys are the most inexplicable. I’m not gonna say weird cuz we’re all weird. They’re just… baffling.

Target’s CEO is taking action as a boycott over slashed DEI efforts roils in-store foot traffic

Target's CEO plans to meet with Rev. Al Sharpton, whose civil rights organization has encouraged consumers to avoid retailers that scaled ba

40% y'all...

[pagecommando]

Was the CEO unaware of the Demos Target has traditionally done well with?

[the-library-alcove]

Probably. Think how insulated he is from the day-to-day reality on the ground.

[darkladynyara]

See, this is how you do a boycott. They targeted (ha) a specific business- none of that freeform "oh just don't buy anything". It was a business where enough of the customer base was on board to make the boycott hurt. And there were specific and reasonable demands being made.

[blunderpuff]

They also specified a timetable: Black church groups told ppl to boycott Target for Lent-- that's 40 consecutive days. Not a "one-day boycott" that reads as merely a fluke of a day, and can be smoothed out by the days surrounding it; this was nearly 6 straight weeks of boycott. That's how you hit 'em where it hurts.

[alan713ch]

Georgia pastor who led 40-day ‘fast’ against Target over dropping its DEI commitment now calls to expand it into a ‘full’ boycott

The Rev. Jamal Bryant said that the Minneapolis-based retailer has not met all of the boycott effort's demands.

They met and Target fucked up BTW. Boycott ongoing.

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources

Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!

I dunno, man, my grandma (born c. 1930) survived childhood polio and still turned out autistic. No vaccines. Then came my mom and pretty much all my aunts and uncles, all also autistic as fuck, and now me. Just a big ol' family full of anxious special interest enthusiasts who hate direct sunlight and constantly need something to do with our hands.

Oh yeah, we've all had jobs, raised kids, held public office, made art and crafts and been leaders and role-models and made mistakes and lived full lives.

Fuck that guy.

So in System Collapse, when SecUnit encounters Adacall1’s media collection (i only read the books in audio, I don’t know), and finds a serial where they throw asteroids at planets, it’s talking about The Expanse, right?

This week-long arc Peanuts arc ran when the measles vaccination was first developed and widely administered in 1967.  GoComics republished it as part of their rerun strips late last year, but it could obviously stand to go around again.
