there are, no joke, crunchyroll advertisements on the sideline boards of Real Madrid vs Villareal CF. welp. guess that's where their money went, haha

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too. Sorry, but fuck that.

If our politics is one where global powers not only devote mountains of money, power energy to enabling, legitimating and consummating this slaughter, making a *spectacle* of it, while neglecting climate change, what do you think it might say about their planned response to climate change?

How the hell is Futari Solo Camp two cours?

No better example of how the entire medical system is setup to turn away trans people from their needed care than this.

It is actually still easier to pick up a random issue of Spider-Man and just start reading than it is to pick up volume 1 of One Piece and realise you have to read how many more to get up to speed!?!

Good art, bad story always makes for a better comic than the reverse.

One of my feel good series, to watch if you need something cozy and uplifting.

I edit the English-language edition of this manga, and I requested it be added to my list in order to 1. preserve the full title and 2. use the press release call out "ASK FOR IT BY NAME!"

And absurdly long title of the season goes to: Shinjiteita Nakama-tachi ni Dungeon Okuchi de Korosarekaketa ga Gift "Mugen Gacha" de Level 9999 no Nakama-tachi wo Te ni Irete Moto Party Member to Sekai ni Fukushuu & "Zamaa!" Shimasu!

I thought Starmer got rid of antisemitism in the Labour party?

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

See, the thing is, Singal did violate the TOS, unambiguously. An then Bluesky changed it to accommodate him. You know this to be the case; you were there just as much as I was. So you're telling a lie. And you know it to be a lie. And that kind of makes you look like a shithead. I'm just saying.

look, you don't gotta yell at the people in power but pretending like you're so above it all and everyone who does is cringe is literally the fucking death of progress.

If Bluesky's admins are getting frustrated at being 'brigaded endlessly' and crying about it they should try putting themselves in the shoes of Palestinians trying to post for help here to keep their families alive through a genocide & being forced to make new accounts every day as mods delete them.

CEO: we're all trying to improve this place You: so you're gonna kick out the guy who keeps trying to kill me, right CEO: You: You're gonna kick out the guy who has literally helped kiwifarms target me personally, right CEO: WAFFLES

Heavily implying Jesse Signal is the waffle bluesky likes, that's reassuring.

Oh hey, this is what Ezra Klein wants to happen in America too.

Yes, a good AMV can make any song good, even nickelback:

Fun thing is a good AMV can make an objectivily bad song good:

Given how massive this was in 1999 and the rotation it got in european music channels, I'm going to say this was the first video that was an technically an AMV many people watched.

Yeah, that was the case for me as well when I got back into anime a decade ago. AMVs like this unlocked so many future favourites for me!

Has to be this:

Longest of long shots - by any tiny chance does anyone know Eddy Goldfarb, creator of Kerplunk, who according to Wikipedia is living in Chicago aged 104? Or his family?

oh, right! this isn't just ecchi slop, there's realistic portrayals of casual homophobia!

Wie had dat gedacht, bij mensen die een uitkering krijgen wegens ARBEIDSONGESCHIKTHEID

Can we please look at their former enthusiasm for screaming terrifying accusations of the most insane, virulent racist hatred at people who were blocking their career advancement, and then at their huge reluctance to say the far right are racist, and try to put two and two together?

にこまき スキ オレ

Two years late for the 20th anniversary.

Always has been.

As I said before, if you worry about Reform voters being calked racist, you're probably a racist yourself.

one of my favorite liberal tics is assuming when trump and the GOP talk about "the left" they're not talking about liberals

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

Dude if the Democratic Party has a place for anti-trans and anti-abortion candidates then I’m not a democrat and I won’t vote for one I don’t know what to tell you man, there’s already a political party who believes these things It’s not a “big tent” to have zero fixed values in pursuit of power

That's something a racist would argue.

My husband, Mace Windu

Pretty much yes.

It's been two years man, are you people still saying this? You're really doing this? As a certified faggot i trust Hamas more than I trust people like this man, it's just so exhausting

OK Bluesky friends. Use the code “BSTariffRefund” on checkout to save 15%. Let me explain. So, since the new shipping restrictions and tariffs went into effect my sales have fallen off a cliff. And in the last 2 weeks I have received only a single order. (1/5)

Oh forgot to pin my blog here. Look I finally put all my writing- graded from the fujo era to the more fun fucked up lesbian stuff in one place. I might also start using the same blog to start writing a short story I've had germinating for a WHILE - abhinuesis.wordpress.com

Such an important thread from Mallory about safety for trans people in therapeutic spaces. I often worry that Alice was harmed by some of the therapy we sought for her, as I was harmed by some of the therapy I sought after she died by suicide. Quotes from Her Name Is Alice in my 🧵

This made me laugh. He could quite easily choose to be hated for being inclusive but nope, he wanted to chase the racists. Doesn't matter what he does, they will always hate him.

You could tell this was coming too because very obviously, they spent their entire time in opposition getting increasingly enraged that nobody liked them and nobody was listening to them - it was all fantasies about how everyone would soon recognise how great they were, and no new ideas at all.

a lot of this imo is just driven by people who think it should be illegal to be mean to them on the internet without posting a legal name so they can grass you into your employer, but if you did actual malicious communication the police would find you in 30 seconds flat with no need for ID cards.

You'll never find more eager participants in the border regime and the rhetoric designed to harden it than some second generation immigrants. The amount of "my parents came here the right way" I heard from people whose parents I know for a fact didn't blew my mind growing up.

Brandon Sanderson's books and games are officially as bad as Harry Potter in terms of what they do to the trans community.

watch this.

Actually, the KOG discourse is crazy because the moment a few trans women offer even the mildest criticism of something people accuse us of trying to "cancel" the creator Like people were just like "oh, that's disappointing" and y'all are like "OH NOW YOU'RE SAYING SHE'S A TRANSPHOBIC BIGOT?"
