I always focused on using sexuality and intimacy to explore different sides of characters not often seen a sort of peek behind the emotional curtain using the intensity and vulnerability of it all to make it engaging on multiple levels That's just my style though.

Electricity is the new price of eggs. Voters need your political position on the price of electricity and utility bills. A real solution? Publicly-owned utilities. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/u...

A lot of transphobic whataboutism is just straight up trying to make being a bigot sound like a legit position asked in good faith. Nope, same old horseshit.

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.

this headline, and much of the reporting, is the result of believing that the key to good journalism is never taking a position

Ever since Occupy and the growing acceptance of socialism, there has been a renewed attack on the US university system. What we have here is the culmination of roughly 14 years of attacks against students by culture war bullshit and Heritage Foundation Pawns.

Nothing ever made me feel more scared of students than seven years teaching in the OU system. This type of student would destroy your life by turning you into TPUSA and dance on your grave after. Also, are we still pretending Charlie Kirk is a saint?

I think this falls in line with a growing push to recognize actionable harms when christian conservatives face things in public life they don’t like generally. It’s the Hobby Lobbyfication of public life

"For the hundreds of communities who’ve been saddled with data centers in recent years, the bulky fixtures are sources of unbearable noise, soaring energy prices, and plenty of electrical fires. Add another grim possibility to that list: debilitating rare cancers." #Amazon #cancer

With Trump's decaying mental state, it begs a question who is ghostwriting him. They are trying to emulate his style more, but this is just...much more coherent then he ever was lucid and at his Xitter peak.

It was six years ago today that a man in Wuhan, China began feeling ill. He would become the first known COVID case. Covid is still with us. It’s still killing and disabling. Clean the air. Wear a mask. Get your boosters. Public health is a social justice issue.

Its an accidentally fitting metaphor that the captain of the Titanic claimed "redundant systems are not necessary," since capitalism is on its way to hitting a BIG "Iceberg"

I’ve spent a lot of time in the past 18 months really working to, if you will, kill the neoliberal in my head. as someone with my politics, I’ve been surprised by how much there’s still been to excise. anyway, maybe productivity and efficiency are scams, and redundancy protects human happiness.

investor salivating at the chance to interfere with investigative reporting? i’ve learned enough covering musk et al to take threat-tweets not like jokes, take them seriously.

the fact that nick fuentes isn’t here but ms rachel is illustrates perfectly that groups like this don’t actually care about antisemitism at all

Urgently need rent for a queer household. We're disabled and our roommate is working but can't do it alone! Please repost

COMING SOON: AI + Guy™

Oh, transgender visiblity week? Uhh, right, saving up to try to buy a small house in less than a year. I'm the primary income of my poly trio.

Does someone have phone service that hasn't used Venmo cause in order to use my Venmo $ to buy it from Amazon (I know plz don't cancel me I can't afford anything besides that) I have to have them text me lol

That thread the other day we were in about "Nvidia is making $billion$ in the AI business so it must not be all that bad"... AI is already in debt for $TRILLION$ and digging deeper every day. The AI-bros want to get well by getting the gov't to buy-in and bail them out with our taxpayer $$...

The USA had been manufacturing consent for this incursion in Venezuelan soil for years before this with all the astroturfed memes about how Vuvuzela Bad Because Of Communism, btw.

That autistic mood when you want to do something, but you need to music to finish first because it's a good song.

We didn’t devote precious runtime to her kissing his boo boos. 💀 (For the record I ADORE Luci, I understand caring about him and wanting angst. I get it! But he is a very powerful grown up. He’s ok lol also angst is coming don’t worry 😂)

Sooner or later, I guess we’ll have to invent a new kind of college/university for people who want to actually learn something to differentiate them from the credentials-for-pay institutions that will suspend a professor for failing someone who didn’t meet assignment criteria.

A game where you can do anything and they’re mad that people are doing anything.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Regular reminder of what I believe are the two things a social media network needs to be successful. 1. NO TOLERANCE FOR NAZIS AND THEIR ILK. You knowingly pull bigoted shit, then out the door with you. 2. Complete acceptance of NSFW posting (so long as all parties are adults).

It's not a love of the status quo. It's a combination of terror at the idea of a new reality to navigate, and an inability to imagine something new (better or otherwise). It speaks to how part of the work of liberatory organizing is visionary. We have to help people see a possible better future.

Speaking as someone who was cast as "alarmist" for accurately predicting the GOP mainstreaming of outright fascism, that sort of attitude is the flip side of those earlier alarmism accusations. These folks are so petrified of change and the unknown that they wishcast a permanent status quo.

Reactionary cretins, 1974-2000: D&D is for satanic gays and weirdos Reactionary cretins, 2001-2014: D&D is for nerds, gays and weirdos Reactionary cretins, 2015-present: D&D is ruined because of woke, gays and weirdos

Homsar talking about Warhammer 40K: "AaaAaaaAAAaaAAAA, I'm the emperor of holiday savings."

So is it just me or are more and more people losing their minds when they're pushed into doing anything related to showing empathy or helping people?

I guess "football team selling used shorts to sports-gooners" didn't have quite the same ring

From talking to a lot of old people, the right-leaning mentality on the subject right now is literally this image, but not photoshopped. Like these are people who scoff at content warning, but will get actively scared if they get exposed to hypnotic audio like it's a real and potent weapon.

As somebody trained in erotic hypnosis this is so utterly bullshit. As other have said you literally CANNOT HYPNOTIZE SOMEBODY TO DOING SOMETHING THEY DON'T WANT TO DO! It's really telling on themselves that they have no idea what hypnosis even is, let alone what actual noncon even is.

The funniest (ha ha I'm laughing) thing about it is that while the exact reasons don't matter, it's super unclear whether this is an issue because it technically counts as noncon or because a nonzero number of influential people believe it can literally trans your gender.

I'm not claiming any hills in saying this, but what's wild to me is that it's well known that you *cannot* be hypnotized into doing something you don't already want to do. It's not possible. Huge hilarious self-report. The moral panic is really about is eliminating permission structures to explore🧵

The fact that "hypnosis" has become one of the concepts regularly banned on adult websites makes me feel fully insane. We are truly living in the nightmare return of every Christian conservative moral panic we ever laughed at.

happy soft body sunday to covid realists only 😷💜 truth is: i mask cause i’d rather be hot & alive without additional systemic covid damage, as opposed to being the sort of miserable fuck who succumbed to anti-mask propaganda so hard as to turn into an anon troll (poorly) attempting peer pressure 🤷🏻‍♂️.

what they’re showing is that no institution will support or back a trans woman under any circumstances. as soon as someone makes a threat or kicks up a fuss, we are abandoned, betrayed, left to twist in the wind. what place in society is secure for us, while this is the status quo? what place?

this wasn’t just TPUSA, by the way, this was libs of tiktok in her endless pursuit of destroying the lives of any queer or trans person she can reach. this is what we’ve decided will be normalized and acceptable in our society, an endless pogrom driven by heartless grifters, one victim at a time.

Why is every media company caught up in mass negligence? Because they expect you to care about your own kids.

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended. I was a *Religious Studies* major; in my time she would have been rightly BBQ'd had she dared to hand in this absolute drek.

This has been my life's mission after recovering from some major trauma, and in my MILF years I have succeeded beautifully. I'm sure a lot of you cuties reading this have as well.

So many people who imagine themselves to be Marxists have a deeply liberal and idealist understanding of transphobia. It's not a debate, it's a power struggle and if you aren't willing to clearly take trans people's side, you are a scab.

So basically, if you're saying in *2025* that D&D is dying because it's "woke now", you're not only incorrect, you're also about a decade behind. Because the whole of 5e has been incredibly diverse and joyful and queer and it's been more successful than ever.

Everytime i see new ads for the upcoming avatar movie, im thibking about this

"I keep thinking that evil would like nothing better than to have us feel awful about who we are."

The sentiment towards mods among commenters tends to be “it’s players judging themselves to be superior to the original creators,” which, to a lot of Western folks who grew up with Game Genies and Doom conversions, seems pretty bizarre. An interesting cultural divide, I think

This article’s causing a stir among Japanese retrogamers. It’s critical of the Metal Slime grind of classic DQ, but the real point of contention is that the author admits to using mods to make the grind easier, which a lot of folks view very negatively. Quite a contrast to the Western view of mods
