polish government has opened a website for ukrainians seeking safety and trying to cross the ukrainian-polish border:

ua.gov.pl

as of 13:10 polish time, it has been said as many people as possible will be let through the borders. they are also supposed to let through children who do not have passports, as to not divide families.

Polish person here, I’ve been on the website, it looks legit! Adding the full link here:

Information is available in Polish, Ukrainian, Russian and English

Please get the help available!

Other people, please boost this!!!!

Gov.pl is a legit website connected to the polish government i use it to look at tax info and school stuff (it has the lessons for the teachers written out) and driving license info. So this is legit!!!

Ukrainian friends, you can also cross the border to Slovakia, with or without a passport, or at least that’s the latest update from our Ministry of Interior. You must prepare yourselves for waiting in lines as they check every individual vehicle upon entering (waiting times according to our news are hours long because of shitty capacities but hopefully after today the officials will figure out a more effective system). If anybody has a link too, I’d be grateful as I haven’t found anything useful prior to adding to the post. I hope you all stay safe.

Romania is also willing to accept up to 500,000 refugees from Ukraine. Be prepared for long waiting times at the Siret border crossing.

If you can reach Germany, they are willing to accept refugees as well. Our minister of the interior, Nancy Fraeser, said that all Ukranians with a biometric passport can come to Germany even without a visa and stay there for 90 days.

I hate when cis people have good names, I wanna compliment them but they didn't come up with that so why should I 😤😤😤

Get their mom's numbers

holy shit that's genius

"hey I really like your name can I get your mom's number?" this can only go smoothly

I thought the whole “we’re gonna use AI to write shows and movies and pay you garbage wages to fix the scripts” was vile, but “we want to scan background actors and then OWN THEIR LIKENESS TO USE IN PERPETUITY DESPITE PAYING THEM FOR ONLY A SINGLE DAY’S WORK” is just…

I don’t have words for this. There are no words that capture the sheer revulsion I felt at reading that actual, real fucking offer from the AMPTP.

i don’t make the rules AT ALL, but if you mostly spend time in Gay People Spaces then you know about 28 ppl who look like this 

done pretending that furries aren't an easy target online for bigots and a growing target in general right wing spaces and news because to them furries embody the sexual deviancy they see as inherent to being gay and trans (especially because of how many gay and trans people are furries). and if you deny it i think i will just beat you with a hammer for a little bit until im bored

furry hatred has always been fueled by queerphobia.There was an article maybe a decade or almost ago about a bunch of people that were big in the early 90s and 2000′s furry hatred on the internet (many of them from SomethingAwful, because everything bad comes from SomethingAwful) and how they admitted that yeah, furry hatred was because they were openly and unabashedly and unashamedly queer and that was not allowed.

it's so cute to me that gift wrapping is an ancient human custom. for thousands of years we have ceremonially made nice little bundles to present to each other, and we have decorated them and ensured that they're neat and careful to communicate the care with which we think of the recipient. and for thousands of years we have been made curious by the concealment of the gift, and been surprised and delighted by the act of uncovering what's inside. we are such simple creatures. we are so thoughtful. we are so cute.

I learned this by googling the historical accuracy of a line in a porn game i'm editing. anyway,

writing porn is also an ancient human custom

So what I found out, later, as an adult, when I brought up my disgust that this play structure had been torn down for No Apparent Good Reason, is that the splinter thing was just an excuse they gave to us because we were ten years old and they had to say Something. The actual reason this structure got ripped down and replaced?

Because the treatment used on the wood to preserve it was found to be carcinogenic. Apparently because of arsenic, according to this article. 

So, yeah. Safety hazard. 

So the whole place is practically seeping with a poison that will slowly cause you to become an oily being with ragged, cancerous skin? My god, it really is Yharnam.

"Walkable city" is not "City where to have to walk everywhere."

"Walkable city" is.

  1. Sidewalks big enough to fit you, your stroller, your wheelchair, your guide dog, or anything else you need when you're getting from one place to another.
  2. Safe crosswalks frequent enough so you don't need to walk in traffic.
  3. Bike lanes to keep bikes out of foot traffic and car traffic.
  4. Accessible and affordable public transit.
  5. Cities where the essentials are close enough you can travel on foot (or in wheelchair)
  6. Cities where it's reasonable to be able to get from point a to point b without requiring you, yourself, to drive

People get so caught up in the "Walkable" part of the term and like to spout "Walkable cities are abelist because not everyone can walk".

Bitch. The modern city structure is abelist because not everyone can drive. And classist because not everyone can afford a car and it's pretty damn impossible to get a job if you don't have a car.

Walkable cities are cities where people can reasonably get from pointA to pointB without requiring a motor vehicle.

"But fae. Disabled people have issues using the paths in modern cities." Bitch abled people can barely use the paths in modern cities. That's kind of the fucking problem.

Also walkable cities have fucking benches. Not only for disabled people. But sometimes you just twist your ankle and need to sit for a moment.

"Put fae. If you have benches, homeless people will sleep on them."

Then get fucking housing for the homeless. Problem solved. They'll sleep in their nice warm homes instead of on the benches.
