Sometimes I hear the kids calling Hana from Tokyo Godfathers "bad rep" because a specific strata encourages it, and the knowledge of nearly all other media within a decade of that movie makes me want to pop my own head off like a grape.

Around 20% of hospital beds in the US are in Christianist facilities, most Catholic, that have happily been denying reproductive health care and gender-affirming care for decades AND enjoying a nonprofit status. Most people don't realize the stranglehold the church has until it's too late.

gotta find a place to get gooseberries suddenly recalled in vivid detail picking & eating them from the bush we had out back of the house i grew up in & now i want some

oh shit! i still have most of a container of the that black raspberry cookies & cream ice cream

ugh. i need to repair my straitjacket... it's been in storage a while & i'd forgotten that last time i escaped it i tore the canvas in the process; it was both impressive & annoying

fandom as a social activity: fun way to connect with other nerds/perverts fandom as in identity: must be exorcized with purifying flame

that range of days after a laser treatment where some of your hairs look like theyre growing out darker b/c it's actually your skin forcing out the dead root sucks shit i know it'll look better later, but i'm not later i'm right now

Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.

❌ using dating apps ✅ soliciting manuscripts

the most reliable way for a woman to get in my pants is to already be me the second most reliable way for a woman to get in my pants is to write stuff i like to read

this probably sucks to hear, but if you've NEVER heard about something like this in a community you're part of it is probably b/c you are unlikely to be a target of the abuser & those who ARE targeted don't know whether they can trust you to believe them

there are missing stairs everywhere, across all levels of class, wherever there is power to abuse if these abuses were taken seriously & if we had actual fucking consequences for these abusers, it wouldn't take a critical mass of people backing each other up for everyone to hear about them

REMINDER: i will never vote for gavin newsom. i have to stop myself from spitting when i hear his name. he set up a photo op of himself throwing away the shelter & belongings of people living on the street. he pals around with & agrees with fascists on anti-trans talking points. he is scum.

Yes the median white man in American makes $70,000 a year, the thing is for the rest of us that's a INCOMPREHENSIBLE amount of money. Those are the people you're hearing from right now. Katelyn is a trans woman. The unemployment rate for you is 3.2%. For us it's 18%. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

my thrifting luck continues this dress was like $2

okay so what's the specific level of power and/or distance from election day where accusations that a man on your team has committed sexual assault are allowed to be taken seriously? is it written down somewhere? i don't have it in my notes

Yeah the law doesn't exist if a prosecutor doesn't want it to and guess what those motherfuckers don't give a Shit about laws against sex crimes applying to politicians (or men in general) Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

if somebody being an "effective politician," or whatever people's reasoning is, is more import than justice for victims & keeping abusers out of power then you share a fundamental aspect of your politics with trump supporters & other fascists

women on my mom's side of the family are kinda sigourney weaver looking, so my deepest hope as i age is that i will become nearer to her kind of hot

goddammit sigourney weaver is going to be in the mandalorian and cub movie so now i will watch all of the mandalorian & the boba fett series

uh oh look i found 4-inch heeled boots in my size at a thrift place for $14 bracing for 6'8" mode

yeah absolutely; i will never trust a "former" right winger who wants everything to be centered on them. shut up, listen, take things in, & lend a hand when you're asked. if it's all about you then you aren't really here.

i'm sure this can come off as smug, anti-religious shit but i love & respect plenty of people who have faiths that i don't. this is just the EXACT kind of religious hypocrisy i have seen around me all my life.

Take a look at the CNN sourcing and fact-checking on their Swalwell article. Look at how many extra people they contacted in order to corroborate claims. They viewed screenshots, called parents/husbands/friends/colleagues. They viewed TV footage and interviews, & more. Two things worth pointing out:

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

first time i played mothership & not only did we survive (fucking barely lol; shout out to @aaroncarsten.bsky.social for the last minute save), but my character rode off into the sunset with a dead drop insurance policy and a girl i saved with a crit success street medic roll

she writes good stuff & you should read it

every single Adult Catholic Convert gives not a single shit about doctrine or tradition; they want to be associated with the *aesthetics* of catholicism b/c megachurch/stripmall evangelical aesthetics are cringe down to the subatomic level & they wanna imagine themselves as warhammer 40k fascists

This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

listening to the latest kill james bond q&a episode & i have been sniped by hearing an exact pathology of mine compressed into a single sentence: "I struggle so badly with assuming that no one thinks of or discusses me when I'm not around."

yeah that's been me the last couple of years finding out i have Good Hair in my fucking 40s lol

My first book event is tomorrow! Girls, im nervous! You can order it thru Firestorm tho, and that would be really nice! firestorm.coop/products/230...

Who cares!!!!!!!

“All you had to do is pay us enough to live.”

Growing increasingly convinced that there is nothing Vita homebrew folks can’t accomplish

This is your reminder that if you follow me and you haven’t played 1000xResist that you should play 1000xResist. ALSO HOLY SHIT PUT THIS IN MY VEINS

Anyway, yes, this is certainly the politics of the current leadership of the United States, but I'd also argue it looks remarkably similar to the politics of the government of a certain ally we keep arming despite doing genocide and invading all its neighbors.

My book tour starts *gulps* in two days, lmao, and I've just published the tour schedule on @caw-shinythings.bsky.social These are the first batch of East Coast dates, but I'm hoping to be on the West Coast in June or July. Anyway, come thru!

wow so they made a list of cool people specifically to not put themselves on it lol

Early review reads The Extended Universe thru the lens of Chris Marker's work, which, if you know me at all, is like the biggest most wonderful possible compliment

hmmm... do i enter this open mic competition at the gay bar? on the one hand, i love being the center of attention¹, but on the other hand i'm not especially interested in competition ¹ except when i don't

am i emotionally unstable? or am i simply functioning normally in an unstable world??? 🤔

okay it is pretty funny they invented a machine that can pass the turing test & do absolutely nothing else

okay. haven't cried about this yet today. and now that the task itself is done, it's time to find out whether this was resiliency, numbness, or deferral 🙃
