You ever noticed how easily offended all these "Anti Woke" grifters tend to be? Loser Scumbags like The Quartering, EndymionTV, Shadiversity, Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker, etc.?

Well, a YouTuber named DarkMatter2525 had the brilliant idea of creation a short 6 minute satire review of Aliens and Terminator 2, using the exact same style, arguments and buzzwords that the earlier mentioned Anti Woke scumbags like to throw around like candy.

It's a very enjoyable watch that helps to expose the Anti Woke grift for what it truly is.

Check it out and share it around. More people should be made aware of it so that more people finally turn their backs on the Anti Woke Grifters and their bullshit.

Because let's be honest: if these classic movies, Aliens and Terminator 2, would be made today, you can bet that people like The Quartering, EndymionTV and all the other scumbags would produce "reviews" that look just like this.

Alright folks,  Anakonda230 is doing a Free Art Raffle.

I was just checking FA on my way to work and like many of you, I heard about  Dragoneer's passing.

What a shitty way to start the day...

I never met him in person but I've been with the Fandom for over 20 years with me creating my FA account in 2006, 18 years ago.

Dragoneer was one of the big ones before I joined FA, when I was just slowly getting into the community.

I was following him and his artwork which had a big influence on me long before FA.

He was a pillar of the community and he will be greatly missed.

Rest in Peace Dragoneer.

Gone but never forgotten.

I have just learned of some very alarming news that I believe need to shared. Not for the sake of spreading fear, even though what I have to tell you is extremely concerning, but people need to know, they just need to know, what is happening, what is going on so they have a chance to prepare themselves and act accordingly.

so with that out of the way, what is so alarming?

Clarence Thomas is one of the those extremely conservatives judges on the Supreme Court who helped turn over Roe vs. Wade (though he isn't the only extremely conservative judge on the Supreme Court) and I have just learned through a very reputable source that He has recently said something that is extremely alarming:

Clarence Thomas has recently said that he intends to revisit Lawrence v Texas.

What is "Lawrence v Texas"? I hear you ask?

Lawrence v Texas makes it legal for you to be gay.

not gay marry.

just to be gay.

Lawrence v Texas makes it legal for you to be gay and prevents a state from prosecuting you for being gay.

Furthermore, the Attorney General of Texas has said that he is willing to prosecute people for being gay.

My source is Telltale, a youtube who specializes in cults and religious extremism on account of him being a former jehova's witness. Human Rights are very important to Telltale so I have no doubt that what he said is true.

if Lawrence v Texas is revisited and Overturned, which is what Clarence Thomas intends to do, States like Texas would be able to prosecute, punish and imprison people for being gay... and the Attorney General of Texas already declared that he is willing to do that.

Texas is also home to congregations of the NIFB who are a religious extremist hate group who have publicly demanded that homosexuality should be punished with the death penalty.

if fyou don't want to watch the full 30 minutes, here's the short summary:

conservative parents in several states, like Florida, Texas, Tennessee and others, are targeting E-reader Apps of various companies and are trying to take them down in order to prevent their children to have access to books.

the books in question are, to nobody's surprise, books either written by, about or discussing the LGBTQ as well as books that discuss the less glorious parts of US history like slavery, racism and their ramifications which plague US society to this day.

its ironic that the parents who are usually the quickest to remind everyone that "america is a free country!" are currently trying to do everything in their power in order to restrict and abolish freedom.

its also quite scary because their number is rather sizeable, especially in their home states, in which they enjoy the backing or pandering of conservative politicians, which could lead to these parents actually getting their will.

regardless of what you or I might think about the LGBTQ community, racism, slavery and how these things are taught in school, at the end of the day, America is a free country.

or at the very least, America is supposed to be a free country.

being a free country means that access to these books, both physically in libraries as well as digitally through E-readers and online libraries, should be provided.

if you don't, all you end up doing is changing the US into a copy of Russia with a different name and a different flag.

if that were to happen, America would be land of the free no more...

to all my American friends, viewers and watchers:

Happy Fourth of July

for whatever that's worth it anymore...

Lately I've been wondering if its even worth anymore to celebrate Independence Day. After all, Independence Day is a day meant to celebrate the birth of a nation based on liberty.

"give me liberty or give me death" they used to say back in the day...

which makes it all the more ironic that in recent months, the US has become less free and is on its way to continue becoming less free than other countries. Not to long ago, the whole Roe vs. Wade overturn caused a stir with the US essentially giving up the freedom to have an abortion and it looks like more freedoms, especially freedoms of the LGBTQ, are to be next on the chopping block.

its sad that we have reached a point in history where americans in foreign countries enjoy more rights and freedoms than americans in america...

but here we are...

well

for what its worth it

happy Fourth of July

go and celebrate the independence of your country by blowing up a small part of it

Happy Pride Month everybody

its that time of the year again. put on your rainbow colors, party and have fun. especially now that more and more countries are lifting corona restrictions and normalcy begins to return to the world...

to my watchers/viewers from the USA:

please stay safe while you're out and partying

the USA was rocked by several mass shootings in very rapid and short succession in the past 2 weeks, some of them directly linked to conspiracy theories that are heavily prevalent and pushed by american conservatives.

for the past few months, prominent american conservatives have likewise increased their efforts to use every opportunity to demonize and vilify the LGBTQ by accusing them of being groomers, predators and similar vile stuff.

american conservatives love their second amendment rights and the Buffalo shooter was motivated by conspiracy theories pushed by conservatives

so please

when you go out to party and have fun, be careful and be safe

but do go out and party

be careful, but do go out and party

don't give into fear because that is exactly what the conservatives pushing these conspiracy theories want

to make you afraid, to make you cower so that they can control you

don't let them win

go out, party and have fun

but be careful and be safe

I'm gonna do something I haven't done in a while, write a journal...

RL and other stuff kept me rather busy and distracted which is why I haven't done any reporting in a while... I should get back to that, especially with the ongoing situation in the Ukraine war...

however, that is not the topic of today's discussion:

I want to bring something to the attention to all of you since this concerns all of us:

a friend of mine showed me a video which confirms that there is currently a republican politician by the name of Kandiss Taylor, she is currently running for Governor in the US State of Georgia and she is blaming the Buffalo Shooting on the furry fandom.

A photo that allegedly showed the Buffalo looking at his phone surfaced with the phone featuring an explicit image of an anthro dog character in a very sexualized situation.

Kandiss Taylor, who again is currently running for Governor in the US State of Georgia, is using this photo to blame the Buffalo Shooting on the furry fandom.

the full video is linked at the bottom but if you don't want to watch it, i took screenshots from the video which showed the pic in question and the tweet that Kandiss Taylor made.

here are the screenshots:

I urge all of you to spread the knowledge of this to everyone.

our fandom has a lot of shit thrown at us. we often are the butt of jokes, we are getting mocked and even met with outright hostility in some cases simply because we like to jack off to fetishized cartoon characters.

I've been a furry for as long as I became aware of its existence back when I was 13, which is some 23 years ago, and I might have been a furry even longer than that without realizing it.
I'll be the first to admit that we got a lot of weirdos in our fandom so the reputation of furries being weirdos and perverts is, in some cases, sadly deserved.

however

we don't deserve to be blamed for racially motivated mass murder.

for all the shit that's thrown at us, this is undeserved and unjustified.

here's the video:

I've compiled a couple of news that I'm gonna summarize briefly for you guys regarding the war in Ukraine

the following passage was copy&pasted from Reuters, source https://www.reuters.com/world/europ.....il-2022-04-08/

At least 39 people were killed and 87 wounded in a missile strike on Friday on a railway station in Kramatorsk east Ukraine that was packed with women, children and elderly trying to flee fighting, Ukrainian authorities said.

Officials said many of the wounded had lost limbs and were being operated on after the strike in the city of Kramatorsk, which President Volodymr Zelenskiy said was a deliberate attack on civilians using a Tochka U short-range ballistic missile.

"Lacking the strength and courage to stand up to us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population," Zelenskiy said in a statement. "This is an evil that has no limits. And if it is not punished, it will never stop."

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, on Twitter, and British defence minister Ben Wallace, during a visit to Romania, both denounced the attack.

in other news

German Intelligence states that they intercepted radio messages of russian soldiers and officer discussing the Bucha massacre while it was being conducted, giving further proof that the action was planned and deliberate.

Russian forces also conducted military maneuvres in the russian exclave of Kaliningrad which is that small russian strip of land nestled between NATO members Poland and Lithuania. Alexander Gruschko, russian vice foreign minister, threatened and warned european nations against any actions directed against the exclave.

the US Defense ministry in the Pentagon are convinced that Russia is responsible for the missile attack in Kramatorsk

According to Ukraininan President Wolodymyr Selenskyj, ukrainian intelligence is in possession of evidence for russian war crimes. messages by russian soldiers to their families bragging about items they have stolen or people they have abducted have been intercepted and recorded. there have also been pilots who were captured with maps that mark civilian areas for bombing in their possession.

Josep Borrell Fontelles, High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy for the EU, will soon meet Karim Khan, who will be chief prosecutor for the international criminal court regarding russian war crimes conducted in Ukraine.

Ukraine has vowed to complete and submit a questionnaire handed to them by the EU within one week. completing this questionnaire is the official first step to begin official talks to become a member and join the European Union.

the following text was word by word copied from the New York Times (source https://nypost.com/2022/04/05/ukrai.....cher-of-bucha/ ):

Ukrainian activists claim to have identified the so-called “Butcher of Bucha,” a decorated Russian commander leading the unit that massacred hundreds of civilians in what is being widely condemned as genocide.

Lt. Col. Azatbek Omurbekov, thought to be around 40, was first identified by InformNapalm, a Ukrainian volunteer group that monitors Russia’s military and special services.

It shared his home address as well as email and telephone number, calling him the “military villain” behind the massacre in Bucha, the suburb of Kyiv where bodies have been left strewn in the street or thrown into mass graves.

The group IDed Omurbekov as leading the 64th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade, which the war-torn nation’s Ministry of Defense also blamed online for “committing war crimes” in Bucha.

in other related news:

The New York Times released an evidence video depicting a scene from the Bucha massacre, thus proving its accuracy and revealing russian claims of the Bucha massacre being staged as the very thing that most of us already knew these claims were: russian lies.

The video, which was given to the NYT by the Ukrainian Military, shows a man pushing a bicycle along the sidewalk when he was suddenly being fired upon by turret gunners in russian armored personal carriers. the video was verified as accurate by the NYT for the simple reason that the man's body was discovered at the very same spot he was in the video when ukrainian forces reclaimed Bucha.

In protest to the massacre in Bucha, a russian activist has reportedly protested by lying down on the ground with hands tied behind their hands to mimic the Bucha massacre. the activist did this in several prominent public areas of Moscow, including in front of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour. this was reported by Holod.media, one of the last remaining independent russian media services.

in Hostomel, a suburb of Kyiv that was also briefly occupied by russian forces, around 400 of its citizens are missing. it is unclear whether they were abducted into russian or have been butchered as well.

Russian soldiers are apparently using Belarus to ship ukrainian items stolen during the invasion back to their homes in Russia.

the US military high command suggested to create permanent US military bases in eastern-european Nato member states along the NATO eastern border with russia.

After russian forces pulled back from Bucha, a small city or suburb very close to the capital of Kyiv, hundreds of dead civilians were discovered in the streets by the ukrainian forces retaking the city. The massacre is under investigation but it seems as though the withdrawing Russians conducted a massacre against ukrainian civilians as revenge for having to withdraw.

The Kreml claims that the massacre is staged by Ukraine to make Russia look bad but the Kreml also said that they have no intention to invade Ukraine just hours before russian forces crossed the border and invaded Ukraine so the word of the Kreml isn't worth very much.

These Kreml made claims of a supposed "staging" were also made by other prominent pro-russian sources, ranging from russian politicians and embassy personal to sympathizers of russia. several people have gone to painstaking lengths to analyze the video material provided by Ukraine which proof that the massacre is reality and not staged.

Once again, Russia is conducting war crimes and now that Russia has been caught, Russia is playing victim. that is all this is. playing victim.

Russia seems also to have begun abducting ukrainians from occupied or besieged areas as a form of intimidation tactic. the number of ukrainians who have been taken at gunpoint and abducted into russia are unknown but Ukraine's president spoke of at least 2000 abducted children.

This is what happens to people who dare to openly show their disapproval of Putin's war:

According to ukrainian sources, russian forces suffered heavy losses in the north east and are partially pulling back as a result.

both ukrainian sources and british intelligence report that ukrainian forces have begun attacking russian targets in occupied areas. a russian military vessel was sunk with several others damaged.

Turkey is closing down the Bosporus river for commercial use after fishermen discovered a sea mine. russian sources claim that ukrainian sea mines that mined the harbor of Odessa came lose and are now adrift in the black sea. considering the russian habit of blatantly lying about the state of the war and deliberately targeting civilian targets to slaughter innocent people however, it seems more likely that the sea mines are in fact russian and just another display of russian cruelty towards civilians. if the last month has proven one thing, its that russia and its president Wladimir Putin cannot be trusted.

Russia threatened both Finnland and Sweden that attempting to join NATO will be considered a hostile act of war and met with military response.

Finnland, which had to fight and fend off an invasion by soviet russia during World War 2, has now officially applied for NATO membership, a process that will likely require several months to be completed. Finnland's president Sauli Niinistö has warned his people for increasing russian military aggression along the finnish-russian border as well as possible russian cyberattacks against Finnland.

A 96-year-old Holocaust survivor, Borys Romanchenko, was killed Friday by a Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv. He survived 4 concentration camps during World War 2.

According to the World Health Organization, a total of 62 hospitals and other medical facilities have been attacked since the beginning of the war in ukraine.

A US basketball player, Brittney Griner, has been arrested and imprisoned in Russia on charges of drug trafficking, the USA however accuse Russia of attempting to use Griner as a political bargaining chip.

Poland suggested to remove Russia from the G20-Group of states

Ukraine reports that Mariupol has been attacked with extremely powerful bombs. city officials of Mariupol say that the russian troops are looking to utterly destroy the city and have no interest in conquering it.

Another set of fires broke out around the nuclear powerplant of Chernobyl

US President Joe Biden warns that Russia might attempt to use biological and chemical weapons in the war in Ukraine.

At least 6 People died when a shopping mall in Kyiv was hit by a missile with russian soldiers once again deliberately targeting civilians.

Denmark is proposing to block off all european ports to russian ships.

EU-Foreign minister Joseph Borrell accuses Russia of deliberately committing war crimes.

According to ukrainian sources, 5 cargo ships carrying grain have vanished from the russian occupied port city Berdjansk which is close to Mariupol. The ships were reported to have been pulled out of port by russian tug boats to the open sea where they disappeared altogether, likely heading to russian territory.

yesterday, russian forces attacked a theater in the besieged ukrainian city Mariupol in which about 1200 civilians had taken shelter. ukrainian sources state that fortunately no deaths occurred in this attack with the first survivor leaving the destroyed theater earlier today.

About 20.000 people managed to flee the heavily besieged ukrainian city of Mariupol

according to US analysts, the sanctions put against russia have crushed the economy and negated 30 years of economic growth. a total collapse of russian economy is a possibility.

Russia announced to leave the Council of Europe, an organization independent from the European Union which is tasked to oversee the human rights of all its member states. considering that any form of protest or criticism against Putin and his war in Ukraine has been met with extreme oppression, it is safe to assume that the situation human rights in Russia will worsen.

Hungary will not allow weapon deliveries for Ukraine to pass through their territory. hungary's leader, Victor Orban, is the head of a far right political party with close ties to Putin and Russia, to the point of Orban using some of Putin's methods to suppress freedom of speech, despite hungary being both a member of the European Union and NATO.

the situation in Mariupol is catastrophic according to ukrainian sources. russian forces bombed a children's hospital, specifically targeting the maternity ward. furthermore, starvation has begun to set into the besieged ukrainian city with people breaking into stores to loot food and melting snow and ice for water and tea. rainwater is also being collected from the rooftops for consumption, according to the leader of the Red Cross in Mariupol.

According to reports from Ukraine, Russian national guard troops arrested 400 people in the Ukraine region of Cherson that have participated in protests against Russia and its invasion of their homes and Ukraine.

According to ukrainian sources, invading russian troops are setting up and placing weapons in civilian areas. this was the case in Tschernihiw in the north where the russians placed heavy weapons between houses of civilian residential areas as well as on farms. in the south, russian troops disguised themselves as civilians on their advance on Mykolaiw.

about 12.700 people in total were arrested in russia for protesting peacefully against Putin's war of aggression against the Ukraine. with the systematic deactivation of social media, restrictions of the internet and the deactivation of liberal radio's like "Echo Moskwy", the freedom of speech and opinion is dwindling further. as of friday, Putin signed in a new law that punishes the spreading of "false information" about the russian army with up to 15 years of prison. this new law also affects any foreign citizen currently in russia or entering russia.

russia has always been extremely poor with freedom of speech and the signing in of this new law makes the situation even worse.

Dimitri Popov is a resident of Hamburg, Germany, who traveled to the city of Cherson in Ukraine to visit his parents. the city has since been occupied by russian forces though an internet interview through skype was possible. according to Dimitri Popov, trying to leave Cherson is life threatening due to the combat zones outside the city as well as countless military checkpoints effectively locking residents inside. the city is mostly deserted except for the city centre where Cherson residents gather semi-regulary to protest against the russian invaders. these demonstrations have been peaceful and without violence until now, however Mr. Popov is afraid that this will soon change because there was a change in command. until recently, Cherson was occupied by regular russian military however the currenty army commanders are going to be replaced by an undescriptive special forces unit which specializes in population suppression and insurgency suppression. Mr. Popov fears that the anti russian protests in Cherson will soon stop to be peaceful and that violence will become a rule of law. furthermore, Mr. Popov stated during the interview that scenes of ukrainians waving russian flags and accepting bread from russian soldiers, scenes that are shown in russian news, are all scripted and staged, made specifically for the russian propaganda to hide the truth of the ukrainian people being oppressed.

the interview can be found and watched here. it is in german. https://www.tagesschau.de/multimedi.....eo-999483.html
