ICE is a relatively newer agency that has always terrorized communities and attracted white supremacists to their ranks. Do people want to “train” them to be better at that? Any mention of training reveals someone who doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

tbh. every single nation-state project on the planet has declared war on its women, queer, trans people under the banner of "fraternity", so all must eventually be swept into the dustbin of history. there is no nationalist state project that is not inherently patriarchal.

in my head otome games and BL games are basically the same world of post yaoicceleration, the only difference is that the protagonists of otome games arent men but still exist in that kind of ideal egalitarian utopianism of desiring men. GL games take place on another planet, and are thus rarer

you cant really say much to how obvious the hypocrisy is everywhere without driving yourself mad, so you don't have to talk about it. just remember that you don't ever have to forgive them when the tide turns and they try to ask for it. they'll whine like they always do about unreasonable leftists

liberalism appealing to "kirk was brave for saying his speech without fear of violence [even though he repeatedly advocated for and glorified violence against the marginalized]" is so 2010s its kind of childishly adorable. the right wingers keep shooting each other (and everyone else) already
