"School districts that don’t respect transgender and nonbinary students’ pronouns or force them to use restrooms that don’t align with their gender identity could be committing federal civil rights violations beginning this fall.

Today, the U.S. Department of Education announced the issuance of a final rule under Title IX to protect people in public schools from sex-based discrimination and harassment. The announcement marks a significant update in federal efforts to combat sex discrimination in federally funded educational institutions. During a call with reporters, Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona emphasized the administration’s dedication to ensuring that Title IX effectively serves all students by providing safe, welcoming, and rights-respecting educational environments."

Depending on how work goes this year it might be a while before the actual final piece sees the light of day - so I'm releasing the animatic for the Guards! Guards! animated trailer on the unsuspecting public. I was hoping it could work as both a trailer/intro animation to a non-existant Guards! Guards! animated show, and I think it turned out pretty neat! I hope you enjoy.

I called the pharmacy about why they haven't filled my t prescription and they literally told me they needed to check on something and then put me on hold and then hung up on me

however Victory Gardens were a great idea, we should do Victory Garden propaganda again. Victory against climate change, victory against massive agriculture industries, victory against Monsanto.

at the New Orleans WWII museum. It’s quite good… and both an uncomfortable, sobering reflection of a Lot Of Shit going on now decades later, and a reminder that modern propaganda has nothing on the all-encompassing intensity of WWII propaganda. Like holy shit

I regret to inform you that Discord's new Terms of Service includes an arbitration clause. You can find it here https://discord.com/terms/#16. This clause includes an opt-out, which I have transcribed here:

You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by emailing an opt-out notice to [email protected] within 30 days of April 15, 2024 or when you first register your Discord account, whichever is later; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, Discord also will not be bound by them.

These clauses are underhanded ways that corporations seek to deprive you of your right to participate in class-action lawsuits and your right to a jury trial. (This does only apply to us users ,other people still spread the word though )

A pike jumped out of the water likely chasing prey and got stuck in a branch and died. Now, a bird has made a nest in its mouth. One of the most interesting things I’ve seen.

Endlessly diabolical how you can't say words like rape and suicide uncensored without either being criticised by idiots or punished by conglomerates.

#Tbh I’m also starting to feel this way about ‘SA’ #Say ‘they were sexually assaulted’ not ‘they were SA’ed’ it feels so internet-slang-y #Which. Like. Half the time ‘sexual assault’ is used like a euphemism for ‘rape’ already. We don’t need an even more euphemistic term for it #rape mention #social media
