By the way, identity politics are politics. Only some people seem not to understand this. They also misread Combahee because they don't take the intellectual work of Black women seriously. It's too bad for them because they'd be better for that engagement.

This painting is brought to you by my current obsession with ochre and dark purple 💜

I have a hard rule against Nazi tattoos. I think it's a good rule. It's served me well in life, and I see no reason to ever be ambivalent about it.

sorry I couldn’t find a version of this meme where both of the arms are white

An alternative version of my crow piece

LEGAL RELEASE FORM: You agree to let us film you ME: Seems OK FORM: We own your face forever ME: Ummm FORM: We own your face via technologies that haven’t been invented yet ME: FORM: in other galaxies ME: OK hold on FORM: If we kill you during filming you’re not allowed to scream

I was going to do a joke about all the people who could run for Senate in Maine but when I looked for a picture of werewolf Preacher from Stephen King’s Silver Bullet this came up and “before & after” is really making me smile. It’s like he got werewolf plastic surgery and is showing it off on tv

Running for office and revealing a giant back tattoo that just says WOMEN. Nobody can agree if it's good or bad

www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7Ay... Axiom Verge has got such a great soundtrack

This is extremely relatable. Once I decided to focus on writing about lesbians, my writer’s block basically disappeared. It’s not like the overall types of stories I wrote changed all that much; they just became consistently gayer, and that’s kept me creatively motivated.

Someone tell me why everyone's falling on their swords for the Blackwater Redditor with the SS tattoo in a primary with a bunch of other candidates that's months away

You can’t know anyone’s heart but it’s pretty easy to see what they get tattooed on their chest.

Yeah I mean it's such a downer because when I warned about "dirtbags" normalizing Nazi encroachment into left space, people called me hysterical and worse. But this is what happens. People like this guy blow up everything. Because people were purposely chill about Nazi shit

Fuck this garbage so much. If drawing the line at Nazi tattoos makes someone a hall monitor, give me the sash and badge or whatever a hall monitor wears. Planter still has the tattoo. Hard to make a case for “growth” under those circumstances.

Fuck this. If “Nazi tattoo” doesn’t cross the line, you have no line.

if I discovered that one of my tattoos was actually a Nazi symbol it would be gone TODAY. there's probably a hundred tattoo shops within an hour of me and I would not stop driving to them until I got it covered up or altered

It's really OK to change your mind when new facts are presented. It really is.

shouldn't it be steam's job to determine what games are allowed to release where, not the developers? you'd think steam would catch this in the manual review they do of all games they allow onto the platform, rather than pushing all responsibilty onto the devs.

Valve also sent me an accusatory message telling me this was my fault & I should have banned the game in Russia pre-emptively to comply with Russian laws, despite it being impossible for devs to do this without contacting Steam 😔

Blackberry Honey, my historical yuri visual novel with maids, has been banned from sale on Steam in Russia thanks to a complaint by Roskomnadzor. There is a chance my other LGBT VNs may be banned in Russia too. If that does happen, I'll keep you updated. #yuri #visualnovel #yurivn

Holy shit, I'm learning secondhand from Ironmouse's tweet that apparently Twitch staff just flat out THREW AWAY people's gifts left at the meet and greet area this year. Yeah, no, fuck that, the original DashCon organizers could put together a better TwitchCon at this point. This is unacceptable.

Cmm💜 I've drawn this character before, I really like how it turned out, hehe #illustration #vampire

Oh hell yeah!

Zombie story where the main character has a husky, the entire time he's begging the husky to be quiet and the husky is like I SHALL SING THEM A SONG OF MY PEOPLE

dont understand all the hype around The Brothers Karamazov. there's no progression system at all. who am i supposed to identify with if none of the characters is improving their stats and acquiring better equipment

Tried to sneak a photo of a cute doggo and accidentally had long exposure on and I believe I have created man’s greatest expression of art

I think the only time anyone really shuts something down is when Geordi and Barclay are doing incel shit making holograms of their coworkers and that’s basically what is happening now

It’s also really great because they have the most amazing technology anyone could ever ask for in the holodeck, they use it, but then they’ll also show up for their robot’s cat poetry night because they realize it’s important to be present with those you love and that technology isn’t a substitute

The franchise pretty uniformly has a really great attitude of people being into nerd shit but doing it with absolutely no shame or hesitation because they know they’ll be accepted and encouraged by their friends. I’m trying to do that myself but I know it will end with a friend’s improv comedy show

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

couldn’t be more representative of the current media landscape that the video trump posted of him dumping his own shit on people “appeared to be” ai generated. we have to hear out both sides of this, it could be real, who’s to say

Them: “no one had pronouns in my day” A TV Character from their day:

At some point we need to have a real discussion about how half the fucking internet is inaccessible when AWS gets fucked.

It didn't take humanity long to fuck everything up. I wonder what will replace us. Some kind of frog-thing maybe

I've straight up rejected every sponsorship offer I've ever gotten, because 99% of the time it's the dodgiest crap, but offering me a gacha game sponsorship where payment is in ingame currency is a new low, come on!

Had a nightmare they renamed Kirby to Colby and gave him blond hair

The only excuse Lois Lane has for why her interviewing Superman isn't unethical, despite their romantic entanglement, is that it would be even more unethical for the paper's other top reporter, who is Superman, to interview himself, yet she cannot say this. This dilemma should be taught in J-school.

there should be more books about gay cold war spies falling in love

James Whale was a brilliant early horror director. I go back and rewatch Frankenstein, Bride of Frankenstein (which is even better), and The Invisible Man regularly.

the INVISIBLE MAN is imho probably the best of the OG universal horror films. it is delightfully unhinged and the invisibility effect is still astonishing all of these years later

Sometimes we make mistakes and it's important we learn to forgive ourselves for it This post is about how much homemade guac I ate yesterday 🫠

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Today's Classic Anime Girl is Reiko Mikami, main protagonist of "Ghost Sweeper Mikami" (1993)! (Submitted by @molly2929.bsky.social!)

It’s such a pain to access the antifa expense portal.

YOU DO NOT GOTTA HAND IT TO MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE STOP WITH THIS SHIT SHE OPENLY HATES JEWS SHE HAS ULTERIOR MOTVES YOU DO NOT ACTUALLY AGREE WITH HER

"vibe coding" really is the worst development in software of all time. "woah what if you could just tell the computer what to do and then it did that" that's called writing code. code is the language that tells the computer what to do.

I 💜 you, Minneapolis

Why isn't there a whyn't? Why not?

i hate to say "gatchaman crowds is accidentally about the relationship between technology and transfemininity" without people looking at me silly but everyone ive pitched the gist of my reading to kinda gets it
