An excellent and meticulously written opinion piece that illuminates SWANA people’s concerns with IP and movies like this. The “otherising” of Egyptians in “The Mummy” (1999) was never acceptable. I do enjoy that movie, but like @spiderswarz.bsky.social I want us to move on.

Had to share this from twitter just because

Happy Halloween. I just spent 3 days filming at a location with extremely cursed faces everywhere. But also sheep.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

I think a lot about the chance we had at the start of COVID to finally become a more compassionate, collectivist nation, and how profoundly we were failed not only by the sociopathic greed of the ruling class but by each other. It doesn’t mean we won’t get there, but the lost opportunity haunts me.

The last two weeks of my life, and the reason I haven’t been active on socials at all, packed up and ready for a two week film shoot (pool table unrelated lol)

I fucking knew it.

That the murder of Brianna Ghey has been so completely co-opted by the "ban kids from using phones" brigade sickens me to my fucking core. Whatever her killers were looking at it's undeniable that the landslide of transphobic propaganda in the media played a crucial role in their choice of victim.

British.

I suppose I should have expected the extent to which Etsy is flooded with listings for costume and armour pieces with AI generated images. But somehow this horrible timeline keeps finding new ways to surprise me (and make my job harder)

One of the recurrent themes in Greta's testimony is soldiers stripping and photographing her, sexual humiliation being an out in the open policy of the IDF for years, particularly since Oct 7th. Israel torturing and sexially assaulting a bunch of foreigners should be the biggest story in the world.

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help. My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes. I hate having to ask this

the degree to which i feel like i am living in the pre-title montage of a post-apocalyptic movie cannot be overstated.

And suddenly, I have three costume design gigs lined up in a row, and am booked through to April next year. Hot damn.

Seeing Ms. Rachel say exactly what needs to be said to Obama is so damn refreshing

I love my new laptop. It has amazing features like not overheating when I so much as think about opening Z-Brush.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

I NEED the whole world playing this game and it feels like this is finally gonna happen. Fabula Ultima is my favorite FAVORITE game to play

Made a cool skull pauldron along with the earrings for my next cosplay, which is gonna be the Feral Queen from Sea of Stars! Pauldron modelled in Z-Brush, printed in PLA and painted by hand

They should've had a Halloween ep of Voyager where Tom Paris explains the ancient earth tradition of "trick or treat" to an incredulous Seven who says something like "that is an inefficient means of aquiring candy," & he makes a holodeck recreation of a suburb so the whole crew can trick or treat 🎃

This would’ve slapped but Ubisoft took the coward’s route and capitulated to racists. A shame. Extra ironic considering they’ve had two previous Assassin’s Creed releases where you play as a Black character who kills slavers and frees slaves.

Them: The cursed knock-off Labubu battle royale shooter game isn’t real, it can’t hurt you The cursed knock-off Labubu battle royale shooter game:

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

I made some earrings for a cosplay I’ve been slowly working on!

Starting a motion to ban transphobes from the Heath ponds so the rest of us normal people can just have a swim in peace. Maybe I'd let them use the dogs' pond, but actually that doesn't seem fair to the dogs.

I know I’m many months late to this particular party but, holy shit, SINNERS! What a film!

It's worth remembering that Reform's platform isn't just callous, racist and divisive. It's also economically illiterate and absolutely will not improve anything*. *unless you're a member of the party or one of their billionaire backers, hedging against the country you helped them take charge of.

All eyes on the flotilla.

Israel has just arrested Greta Thunberg and many others. Statement from the Global Sumud Flotilla: “People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.” 1/3

I’ve only had Toula for a day and a half but if anything happened to her I’d kill everyone in this room and then myself

Beat Chronos on my second attempt!!

Prometheus is one of the sickest character designs in Hades II. Maybe one of the sickest character designs ever??

My favourite Hades II build so far has probably been Furies card + Anvil Ring on cast, Heaven Strike + Volcanic Flourish + Final Slice on the Sister Blades, with Thunder Rush. Slap down a cast and do auto damage, dash in and out dealing big dams no matter what!

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

Fuck yeah

You can’t fix autism because autistic people are not broken.

Zack Polanski speaks a lot of sense! For the first time in a long time I’m seeing a UK party leader who actually cares about the future of the UK in a positive and intelligent way!

Disney+ is still on the BDS list, BTW. Don't restart your subscription just because they brought back Kimmel. They only did that because they lost so much money anyway; they learned nothing. If Disney or ABC wants your money, make them divest from Israel first.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

omg an experience specifically designed for me 😌

I of course welcome the recognition of the state of Palestine. And there won't be a Palestinian state left if government's continue enabling Israel's unfolding genocide. Labour can't credibly support Palestinian statehood whilst also continuing to arm Israel.

Sorry for posting thirst traps on main (woopah!)
