Knots are such a fundamental aspect of civilization; they incorporate both the practical, such as securing things? And the abstract, such as mathematics and number theory!
An amazing discovery!

This looks promising?
Yes, $2000-3000 per unit is still incredibly steep, but 9000 BTU for your average apartment is quite workable. And it provides both cooling AND heating. That is quite a game changer.
Why This Window Heat Pump Is Genius. Enter the CCAN Action Fund EV raffle: https://bit.ly/ferrelEVraffle I talk a lot about heat pumps. It’s a fantastic technology that uses a little physics exploit to get more heat energy out than energy you put in. The problem is that most of the time, the devices I’m talking about are for homeowners that can easily retrofit new installations into place. That’s definitely out of reach for most. So where does this leave renters? Well, there’s a new type of heat pump hitting the market that’s a little more accessible: easy to install heat pumps that sit on your window just like an AC unit. It seems so obvious when you look at it that I can’t help but wonder…why didn’t we do this earlier? And how well do they actually work and at what cost?

It's not a kink.
It's a mental illness caused by them being abused as children.
It's trauma that perpetuates trauma.
You don't normalize trauma, you seek treatment and healing.
Pedophilia and zoophilia are not "gross kinks"
Conflating them and trying to launder literally open self declared zoophiles and pedophiles as "just kinky queer beans" is fucking *disgusting*
Trying to normalize them and make them acceptable to be in community openly
yeah, no. Sorry. No.

Report ASAP, and TRY to avoid going to their profile.
No, we aren't on a purity crusade like we were in the early 2000's.
We're telling genuinely sick people to either get into therapy, or get the fuck out.
To the folks saying loli/shota/cub enjoyment is part of being Queer or Ace spectrum.
1. Fuck off!
2. You’re equating attraction to kids (yes, even fictional!) to Queerness, which hurts the community & gets us killed!
3. You’re normalizing CSA.
4. Kids can’t fucking consent.
5. SERIOUSLY, FUCK OFF!

Minneapolis created a Behavioral Crisis Response Team, and they took mental health calls instead of police.
Not only did it work, it was an overwhelming success.
AND!!!
And law enforcement LOVED it, and provide all the support they can muster.
The right tool for the job makes all the difference.
There are critics of abolition who say the world we envision is an unrealistic utopian dream. But it isn't. In fact, it's already happening, everywhere, all around us.

Even before the uprisings in Minneapolis, communities have been radically reimagining a world that doesn’t depend on policing.

Most established artists are already aware of this, and act appropriately when approached.
Which is to say they tell the company to perform acts involving their own anatomy that are, in theory at least, anatomically impossible.
No, this needs to be passed on to the NEW artists just starting out.
Folks should be careful of the companies invading the furry community and trying to exploit artists. Do not allow yourself to be paid in product. If they paid you properly, you'd be able to buy the product several times over, but more importantly you'd be able to pay rent. Demand what you're worth.

Hey guys, I’d love if you’d report this psycho, who responded with the below to a post about school shootings. He and his demented brethren believe that kids who are mixed Asian will inevitably be school shooters. I’ve reported and blocked, will delete this hateful nonsense when he’s gone.
Okay, so...hear me out...
What repercussions would there be from say, agreeing to kill the story, getting the interview, and then publishing the story with the byline, "Here's the interview we got for agreeing to kill this story."???

See, that's the problem with drug and bomb dogs?

New, from me: Senators Joe Manchin and Mitt Romney have a bill that would limit the use of telework to two days per week for federal employees.

Making your own croutons is very easy, and inexpensive? But it's definitely messy and time-consuming.
