Necessary tools from the bad old days (or: the smallest taste of why marriage equality matters.)

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.

I'm really delighted to announce the upcoming release of my short story The Colour out of Hautdesert in IFWG Publishing's Into the Cthulhu Universe. ifwgpublishing.com/2024/12/14/t...

Anti-LGBTQ+ bullying charity must urgently raise £100,000 or face cutbacks

A lot of people don’t like redemption arcs because they’ feel like they’re overdone (which eh, I don’t agree with but I get it). But just as many people don’t like redemption arcs because they hate the idea of someone who hurt them getting to become a better person.

Create NSFW art Porn is not evil, sex is not abhorrent, pleasure is not a crime Even if you don't agree with all kinks doesn't mean they should be allowed to censor art This is why we have tags and the blick button, not megacorps deciding what we can and cannot like Always resist oppression

Hate the obsession w/ making everything kid-friendly, the world shouldn't cater to children all the time. That's your job as a parent, to protect them and surveil what they get access to. Content and media isn't supposed to raise your kids, you are. There are things that just aren't meant for kids.

Bluesky is full of agitated people giving advice that will get you killed or might, MIGHT, result in your acquittal after the complete destruction of your life. Real life ain’t a flame war, kids.

but… isn’t the point of drinking coffee to sit there and read a book while you do? the decline of reading for fun is maybe the single most depressing thing about the technological era we’re living through

Dehumanizing people is evil, don’t fall for it, and call out anyone who does

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

“No civil police force could hold out against an irate and resolute population. The trick is not to let them realize that.” - Terry Pratchett, Unseen Academicals

May you all be fortunate enough to never have to leave the only place that your heart recognizes as Home.

Ah yes, send armed militants to attack your own citizens. That will surely get your country to respect you.

I don't want to 'utilize' AI. I don't want to become 'more efficient'. I don't want to outsource the process of actual thought to a machine. I want to struggle with my words and chip away at my own soul until something shining and glorious and mundane and fucking human emerges. That's being alive.

If you appreciate AI, you value your own stimulation over craftsmanship. You are not an art fan or an artist, but the good news is you may benefit from a virtual hamster wheel or a fireplace screensaver.

Trump’s ‘punitive’ travel ban will disproportionately harm LGBTQ+ people, expert warns

New — I wrote about the injustice unfolding before our eyes as rich reality stars are pardoned for their crimes while law-abiding immigrants are rounded up and caged by ICE, and the way communities are rising up to say fuck no.

Pride is in full bloom.

No cops at Pride includes the cop in your head who tells you to police other queer people. Learn the difference between being uncomfortable and being harmed. Deal with your discomfort on your own time. Pride is for the community, not just you.

Republicans, rabidly: let’s go back a hundred years ago, when women were women, and men were men. 1905: “In all permutations of the family naming, [Marianne] Moore typically referred to herself as male, and is given a male pronoun by both her mother (often) and her brother (consistently).”

Happy Wednesday. It's still Pride, and June will always be Pride month despite what they do to silence and erase us. So there 🖕

If your primary concern as fascism takes hold and minorities are murdered in the streets is to tone police the victims from a position of safety, I can't adequately explain the contempt I have for you.

Pride Month is always a very depressing reminder that so many under-30 LGBT accounts on this site are so damn committed to just shrugging off every threat to our collective wellbeing because they're simply too damn young to understand that things are objectively NOT as bad as they once were.

"Back when I was a workaholic, I hardly ever slept, I was constantly trying to meet deadlines and hit quotas. It was awful. Now, I don’t have any responsibilities. Literally, the only thing weighing on me is this boulder. It’s fantastic."
