Once upon a linear time, aliens 👽 came and gave us the gift of immortality.

But over the eons, as our minds expanded, our bodies withered. So we enlarged our craniums and tinkered with our bodies. Replaced our worn out eyes and blood with a black synthetic.

And evolved into the aliens, 👽 who traveled back in time...

to give us immortality. 🙃

THE ORIGINLESS SPECIES - Oil on panel ⬇️

I’ve had a lot of people ask me recently why not stay on Twitter and fight.

The reason is because Musk controls the algorithm. He could ban you tomorrow, and he could also just deprioritize every one of your tweets so no one sees them.

You can’t fight and win when the opponent has complete control over the field of conflict.

@Tanjiby @stephaniepeleg2 @Calia_Lynn that’s great! I need to watch it soon☺️

@Calia_Lynn @stephaniepeleg2 Wishing you a nice day, too!😊

@Smuttymiscreant @Calia_Lynn I second that!🫶

I figure all my Twitter friends here would appreciate this cartoon by MacLeod. #TwitterRefugee

Today is #TransDayofRemembrance when we honor and remember trans lives taken by violence. How horrifying that a deadly attack upon the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs should occur right before this solemn day.
Hate isn’t born in us. It is taught. It must end.
This starts with our political leaders, who must cease their cynical attacks against our community before another attack occurs.
Call out the hate. Remind them of its consequences. Hold them to account.

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about how to set up Mastodon.

1. You do not have to sacrifice a duck. Any waterfowl will do.
2. The bit about dancing around naked in a forest glade? While dancing is fun, you may just walk.
3. When the demon appears, you needn’t chant in Latin. It is fluent in all languages.

The rest of the guide is correct.

“Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.”
