Hey, RFK--I wrote a whole-ass NOVEL, you dumb fuck.

Aw, fuck :( Persepolis is one of my favorite books.

I am incapable of having an interaction with someone whose work I've ever admired without coming across like an absolute boob. And that's just something I have to accept.

3d6 DTL #MythicBastionland Ep 00! For the oath, for the glory, through sorrow and ache… The Adamant Expanse awaits, as we introduce our new campaign! Titles are bestowed, oaths are sworn, and the Seers enlighten the expectations of play. #NSR #TTRPG #ActualPlay Links below!

Mia, anarchistly: the state cannot be trusted to produce estrogen every neighborhood should have a trans workers council that distributes hrt to the free piles and will walk it to your door, no cis person will be involved with any point of the process Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

if you ever feel constrained by the dictum not to speak of ill of the dead, this is a great moment to share your memories of what an abomination Rudy Giuliani is — as in this reminder of his consumate awfulness long before he made himself an absolute grotesque for Trump

The most important lesson I learned in film school was that if they’re portraying something in a piece of media, that means the creator approves of it, unless the characters end the piece by turning to the camera and saying “I understand that what just happened was bad and shouldn’t be done”

YOU - “I approve of this, very futuristic.” (Tap on the girls kissing.)

Gorillaz’ The Mountain and David Bowie’s Blackstar as companion albums

Beating Simon in Expedition 33 without resorting to a cheesy build has me feeling like an immortal goddess.

There’s something comforting in knowing that no matter how much I dislike Brianna Wu, I will never be able to dislike her more than she dislikes herself

I didn't know it was possible for me to experience undiluted joy like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gXK...

Yo so here’s the thing: Fuck JK Rowling. Have some self-respect and don’t watch the cynical money-grab. It directly supports transphobia and hate. Other books and shows exist.

anyone choosing this moment to be all "here's what you get with republicans: bombs in the middle east" needs to grow up rapidly, considering what the last dem admin did in gaza & their current support for trump's actions right now. this is what you get with (wholly bipartisan) american imperialism

i’ve always been a stunned by how many posters will just say that china is bad and evil without any specific info, time frame, or scope. now that i’ve seen some historical sites i think anyone who wants to do that should be required to pass a basic history knowledge check of the 19th-20th centuries.

The entire history of art, music, theatre, photography, lights, technology, all combined to create the medium of film, a medium still so new and young!! Isn’t that cool!! Movies are a collection of every bit of creativity in history, every bit of art that makes us human!

"Clair Obscur" would be a pretty good drag name.

I just rewatched Sword of Doom the other day, and was remarking to my spouse about how cool it was that Tatsuya Nakadai was still around. RIP to a legendary actor.

Steins;Gate is wild because they'll be unraveling deadly time travel conspiracies one second and then the next be like, "Oh no, we've fucked up the time stream and now Akihabara isn't moe!"

I love photos like this. There’s nothing going on, really, someone just saw her and said “Oh she's SO PRETTY. I have to take a picture.” From my collection, 1959.

a thing I really love about Romance of the Three Kingdoms is the way that characters will warp the genre of the story around them due to the way the narrative is based on folklore. Whenever Zhuge Liang is onscreen it's either ace attorney debate time or absurd, borderline-magic levels of prediction

legitimately means so much to me that in an era where so many politicians are trying to present trans people as a losing issue no longer worth supporting, a candidate who has been vocally pro-trans his entire campaign wins

An extraordinary discovery was made in Ibiza: a 30-centimeter wooden sculpture representing Hercules. Considering the scarcity of wooden sculptures preserved from the Roman era, this discovery is truly remarkable. The figure was found in a Roman well that was later reused as a refuse pit. 🧵1/2 🏺

MY ANCESTRESSES DID NOT BIND THOSE KIRK/SPOCK ZINES BY HAND FOR THIS SLANDEROUS ASS OMISSION

But this misses out the best part of this mosaic! To the left of Odysseus' ship is a smaller boat with a man holding what looks suspiciously like a gigantic prawn. This man is likely to be the homeowner who commissioned the mosaic. (Mosaic from Dougga, Tunisia; C3rd AD; currently in Bardo Museum)

The game this blog post is about sounds like a satire by a team who secretly hate the entire 'cosy' movement.

Columbo.

imagine the money games could make if they were more inclusive of 48% of their potential base. sorry to bang on kpop demon hunters and love and deepspace drum again but they’re eating everyone’s lunch because few others were investing that level of production in feminine audiences

every day i log into this website and see people say absolutely deranged stuff about chinese companies just because they’re racist. like guys you know that chinese companies doing well is just about as nefarious and scary as microsoft or amazon doing well, right?

Good fun retro mech visual novel that you should pick up while it’s on sale

A perfect souvenir from a day at the chariot races! This pottery cup or jar has barbotine (liquid clay) decoration, piped on just like cake icing. It depicts four quadrigae (four-horse chariots) in an endless circular race. 🏺 #ancientbluesky 1/ Colchester, 2nd c. CE. 📸 me

For all the various hand wringing culture war nonsense about "things you're not allowed to say anymore", an actual thing you're apparently not allowed to say for risk of drawing down the wrath of Big Brother is "I do not mourn for Charlie Kirk."

3d6 DTL #Dolmenwood Ep 00! We venture once more ‘neath the boughs of this perilous and enchanted forest! New adventurers are created, a brief overview of the game and setting is discussed, and Jon draws the group's attention to a region they have yet to explore. #OSR #TTRPG Links below!

do this for days, or weeks even! go do something else creatively fulling. play. been having good talks with artist friends recently about the different ways to be an artist. you can't brute-force creativity. it comes in waves and your goal is to catch it

Affinity for the study of the classical world really gets a bad name because of people like this who say “I love Rome” when what they mean is “I love racism”

"82 year old dies" is in a sense hardly news at all. "singular genius who transformed popular culture dies" is news, but also not uncommon. but "one-time symbol of bravura youth culture, trapped for decades by the fallout of the sixties, who fought free and became a widely beloved elder, dies," phew

@catsofyore.bsky.social I am a big fan of the historic cat photographs that Ms Hogdon posts Here's favourite from my family's collection. Hope she adds it to hers. Grandad (my great grand) feeding the kittens, southern Saskatchewan, 1930s
