Seriously just a bit of pollen could make your cat sick within a matter of minutes. Stay far away from Easter lilies if you have kitties!

[veterinaryrambles]

Lilies, including the pollen, are FATAL to cats!

[therestlesswitch]

It’s nearing that time again. Remember, if you have a cat, don’t bring Easter lillies, or any in the same family, into your home!

[plantanarchy]

Of all the plants people claim to be toxic to cats, this is THE plant to watch out for.

Poinsettias? potentially irritating sap, would need excessive doses to be toxic. Pothos? mildly irritating crystals in the leaves. Lilies? Organ failure.

Specifically, plants in the genus Lilium (Easter, Oriental, Tiger, Stargazer, etc etc) are the bad ones. Lily is a common name shared among a lot of different plants, some more or less toxic, but it’s the Liliums that are documented to be deadly to cats, specifically in causing kidney failure.

Amaryllis and Daffodils are other lily relatives that can be toxic, though not to the same level.

Daylilies (Hemerocalis) are unrelated plants but often listed as toxic (I’ve seen some debates from daylily people as to how true this is but better safe than sorry).

Lily of the Valley (Convallaria majalis) is not actually a lily but is very toxic to humans as well as animals, though for different reasons than Liliums, causing cardiac issues.

Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum) are also unrelated and closer in the level of toxicity as a pothos, containing mildly irritating crystals but not deadly

Azalea/Rhododendrons are also a potential spring bloomer I would look out for, especially as I’ve seen a rise in popularity of the forced florist type azaleas this spring as an indoor pot plant. Ingestion can cause organ failure.

[lex-artis-studios]

Vet tech here, this is all true. Do not bring lilies into your house this season if you have cats. Even if they’re ‘in a room where the cat doesn’t go’ or ‘the cat can’t reach it’. You want to know what owners tell me when they bring their cats in for lily ingestion treatment? The flowers were ‘in a room where the cat doesn’t go, but I went in there and then the phone rang so I left to get it, I only left the door open a minute’, and ‘they were up on top of the fridge where the cat can’t get, but it dropped some leaves.’ Just don’t risk it.

idk. i just think it's kind of shitty to make fun of celtic languages or try to project english rules onto them. just because a language has a latin alphabet doesn't mean it follows english spelling rules and celtic spelling rules actually make sense when you actually learn the rules. and just because a word may sound like a rude or adult word in english doesn't mean it's ok to make fun of it. it's as beautiful as any other word in the language and shouldn't be made fun of i think.

[magnetothemagnificent]

Perpetually pissed off that when people say "religious imagery" in regards to art and media they're just saying "Christian imagery".

Because stained glass, kneeling with your hands clasped, crosses, an old man in a beard in the sky...... that's all *Christian imagery*.

And it leads to like....an environment where non-Christian art with no Christian undertones gets mislabeled as Christian because they associate a nursing mother or a spire or a choir singing in operatic tones as Christian. It also leads to religious art that isn't Christian not being recognized as religious and its meaningful symbols and motifs unappreciated.

When I and other Jews make art involving fire, water, and trees- that's religious imagery. But this cultural Christian sphere doesn't recognize as such because they think religious = Christian.

If you get any dms on Discord about playtesting a game called "SkyWorld", BLOCK AND REPORT THE ACCOUNT.

This is a virus that takes over your Discord. The website looks like this:

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE FILES ON THIS SITE. YOUR DISCORD WILL BE HACKED.

Please reblog this so no one else gets this virus.

[appleseason]

This is what the DMs typically sound like. Block anyone who has this conversation with you.

[silver-heller-deactivated202511]

Also, as some general advice, from a creator themselves;

NEVER EVER EVER EVER trust strangers on Discord that, in like, moments of talking to you, are immediately giving you link for their book, game, art, etc. unless you asked for it, know them from another site, are on a Discord specifically for that, etc. etc. And even then, never click on links to sites you do not know or never heard of.

Good creators do not do that crap. We do not go looking for random beta readers, game testers, etc. etc. on Discord EVER. Our work is our baby, and we would never pass them on to random strangers like that. Always be skeptical of this stuff.

Gary Lineker is a fucking football commentator, the impartiality that should be with journalists is NOT in his job description whatsoever, he has every right to say that the government are acting like Nazis, especially because that's exactly what they're doing; our own fucking home secretary was told by Holocaust survivors that the rhetoric she & the government use when talking about immigration is Nazi rhetoric, and she doubled down on it.

here is the link to the petition, i think since it is a parliamentary petition it should only be signed by canadian citizens, but if I am wrong please correct me.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Yes, only Canadians can sign.

If you can’t sign, please reblog to spread the word.

[summersfirstsnow]

Also make sure that you check your email! Once you've signed, you need to confirm for your signature to be counted.

Chag Purim Sameach!!

A lesson about Hamantashen:

(Hamantashen are pastries filled with jams/figs/poppy seeds, etc. They represent Haman’s (the bad guy) hat. It’s also said to represent Haman’s ears, and roughly translate to ‘Haman’s pockets’ (referencing Haman’s pockets that contained bribe money.) These are all different things I grew up learning, so if any of that info is wrong, blame my synagogue. Basically, Purim is about making fun of Haman and drowning him out with noise. When we read this in the Torah, any time you hear “Haman” you make TONS of noise. Stomping, noise makers, etc. It’s so much fun. I miss celebrating it.) Feel free to add on, or correct me on anything.

TW: ableism

For all my non disabled people (and disabled people too)

If you think calling out that wheelchair user for moving their legs, calling out the person who uses a aac device for talking, the blind person for look at you when you talk, the mentally ill person for “not seeming mentally Ill”, etc

Guess what…

You just did some ableist behavior

There is no one way to act disabled, mentally Ill, chronically ill, neurodivergent, etc.

Disabilities fluctuate

Not everyone has the same symptoms

Fake claiming is not protecting "real disabled people"

It's harming us.

Be careful: nostalgia likes to link arms with fascism.

I've seen a lot of talk about how millennials are especially prone to nostalgia. How technology's rapid evolution left our childhoods as a distinctly different world than our present. How we cling to our childhood hobbies and IPs as a way to heal our inner children, etc etc.

And there's nothing inherently wrong with nostalgia. I still play pokemon games and am in the middle of rewatching Yu Yu Hakusho. You're allowed to love the things you grew up with.

But we need to be careful.

Conservatives, nationalists, and fascists *love* to evoke a ☆mythic☆ idealized past- when men were men, when America was great, upon which to build a fixed and solid identity. Any progress away from this idealized conception of the past is thus decay- corruption and ruin. Nostalgia underpins a fascists worldview and allows them to justify any violence against the forces that would further degrade society away from its perfect past. Protecting the past comes to justify all sorts of things in the present.

We need to be very careful about what we allow our nostalgia to mean to us, what we allow it to excuse or justify.

This is not *just* about Hogwarts Legacy, but Hogwarts Legacy is a good example of it. When you can invoke your nostalgia- that golden beautiful past where you felt safe and special- what are you willing to ignore? What harm are you willing to allow? What will you turn a blind eye to if doing so makes you feel like you've recaptured some of the magic from the past?

Tread carefully, friends. This HP bullshit may have been a test that you passed, but it will not be the last time when our sense of nostalgia may conflict with progress and morals. Always remember that you can love something from the past without letting it dictate the future.

for the mario movie???? the mario bros movie?? the actors can't know the plot of the mario movie??? they're scared of plot leaks for mario the movie?? the movie mario???? we're getting not just chris pratt but chris pratt acting BLIND????????

[antidisneyinc]

we've all joked to death about how this type of micromanaging essentially kills the art of acting, but I want to make it extra clear that doing this to voice actors and making them riff on their performance in a void is just one tiny step away from AI generating the cherrypicked delivery that a studio desires, which is something they are already doing with james earl jones's darth vader

[rottenbrainstuff]

Fuck this shit, fuck it all. I can’t believe the shit I’m seeing these days and as a film nerd it pisses me off. The disappearance of the mid-budget movie, replacing actual costumes and sets with green screen and non-union CG teams, keeping scripts secret from actors for some stupid reason, and I think the next step is absolutely AI bullshit. I hate it all. This isn’t movies, this is products and commercials and consumable goods. I want an epic fucking tale told to me by a campfire goddammit, not whatever the fuck this is turning into.
