If you've still got some loose change, Curtdogg could still use some assistance. bsky.app/profile/curt...

I've repeatedly received comments from trans women indicating I'm trying too hard to be an ally, that it seems performative.

Jax from TADC is like a trans-coded Rocket Raccoon from Guardians of the Galaxy.

The Silence of the Lambs turned 35 this week, and Buffalo Bill actor Ted Levine is finally speaking about its transgender backlash. For some of us, that reckoning is decades overdue.

Sharing this because it echoes what Wes Craven said: People don’t go to scary movies to have fear put into them. They go to have the fear released. By facing our fears in a safe capacity, we are freeing ourselves of their negativity. Totes agree! #HorrorWritersChat

So then Discord flat out lied. I recommend keep yelling at them and find an alternative fast. This is 100% about these creepy Big Tech companies wanting your data and violating your privacy.

Fan wikis are such a crap shoot. Sometimes you get good, helpful information, sometimes it's poorly maintained and full of inaccuracies, and sometimes someone just goes off about their hyperfixation on the Soviet calendar in the trivia page of an Animaniacs episode.

@ people saying what's happening in the US is incomparable with Nazi Germany because the latter was a total oppression with no dissent, where no one would dare make fun of the administration: I'm afraid you've been led in by Nazi propaganda. German citizens absolutely did make fun of Hitler.

I do not like Kermit's new voice. It should be higher pitched. They should have hired Mark Hamill.

Remember if you watch this show or buy this merch, no trans person will like or trust you ever again. Sorry but those are the rules.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

Disturbingly detailed analysis of my first rewatch incoming

URGENT CALL TO ACTION The Oklahoma House Judiciary Committee will be voting on HB3581 tomorrow, February 10th, at 2PM. The bill seeks to add harsh FELONY penalties to the existing riot law. Call and email these the committee representatives and tell them "Vote NO on HB3581."

Republicans getting destroyed by a bunny at halftime

Watching paranormal investigation shows, trying to figure out if the hosts are lying/exaggerating or being pranked by the producers.

A statue of Kybele, Mother of the Gods; Found inside the Royal Palace of Amsterdam. By Artus Quellinus (betw. the years 1650 and 1664)

Re: casting Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy: It is absolutely just because she's popular in Hollywood right now, not because it is in any way authentic to the plot. But the same thing happened in Troy, and no one had the same level of meltdown over casting a white actor. Funny how that works.

Interesting little dig at Shang-Chi depicting Trevor as buffoonish in thinking the apes in Planet of the Apes were played by real monkeys. #WonderMan

Tired of misgendering at work, I've started wearing a pronoun pin and seen slight improvement. Seems like some people were more confused than actively being a dick.

Don't watch it, don't support it. There is no need for this when you can blur faces.

"None of us figured out how to avoid being here." IT WAS CALLED "FILL IN A LITTLE OVAL NEXT TO THE BLACK LADY'S NAME IN NOVEMBER 2024."

Naruto is a magic ninja named after ramen. That's like if James Bond were a vampire and named Spaghetti.

"To Catch A Fascist" is finally here! @letsgomathias.bsky.social has spent the last three years immersed in the underground world of contemporary militant antifascism. There's thrills, espionage, and more. Get your copy: www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

Folks are having fun with this article, but to be serious: eugenicists were (and still are) deeply intersexist. Classical eugenicists viewed intersex people as like animals. One of the legacies of this is the routine sterilization of intersex folks, which continues to this day. #intersex #eugenics

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

it’s honestly shocking how shamelessly people will claim that trans people are a “new phenomenon” and that their suspicion of us is based on “reasonable concerns” when the ancient and violent history of our oppression has been literally carved into the bones of the English language

Anne Frank likely died in a typhus epidemic that spread through the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp History rhymes, it rhymes Close the camps, set fire to the prisons

Euripides invented forced feminization.

Hey folks! Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Billing is this week unfortunately. Yay. /sarcasm Seriously, please help me pay for electricity and internet. Plus food and supplies. #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidBoost #HelpSky #EmergencySky

Larry Nance:

Reading Greek mythology as a kid: Athena magically appeared from Zeus' forehead. Reading as an adult: After Zeus horrifically ate his sex partner alive, she gave birth in his stomach, and the child crawled its way up to his head, causing him such immense pain that he split his head open with an ax!

A racist bias I've noticed is people not recognizing white servants working for leaders of color as acting on behalf of their leaders and instead perceiving the white servants as independent actors themselves. Something to watch for.

If Alex Pretti can reasonably be considered visibly Jewish, and ICE can reasonably be assumed to be made up of neo-fascist members, then the label of Nazi seems a lot less like hyperbole and more like an accurate description.

Trying to follow up on Wikipedia citations sometimes leads to prohibitively costly sources that are effectively dead ends.

*cat gives a long, annoying meow while walking across your timeline* It is me. I am the annoying cat.

Just need to keep up the momentum next month. If anyone can help me, please do. #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidBoost #EmergencySky #HelpSky

VERY important for US university professors because the semester is starting!!! If certain people come to your class asking for this information, you can send them away! (Ofc it is not guaranteed they will go away, but this is how it technically works.) #HigherEd #LFK #KU #Jayhawks

A practical invention that will make you rich if you can pull it off: something that keeps fries fresh as you take them home from the restaurant.

I suspect accelerationists will push for Trump to conquer Greenland to torpedo NATO, which would make everything worse, so watch for discourse on that order.

The agent said that?? "When they told the agents they were US citizens, the couple said, one responded, “It doesn’t matter.” Another said, “What you’re doing is illegal. This is like Germany 1938,” the court papers said..." www.nytimes.com/2026/01/18/u...

I enjoyed watching the silent film He Who Gets Slapped, on Tubi. It might have been an inspiration for the Joker, about a humiliated man who becomes a rebellious clown in a subversion of normative values. It reads like a moving comic book, with each shot carefully posed and title card dialog.

I'm glad people are learning the nuances of Nazi oppression, but I wish it was under better, more academic circumstances, not how best to compare our modern police state to historical examples.

Block instantly.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Seriously, it should be more widespread that fucking Michael Bay is IN THE EPSTEIN FILES! And considering what was in Transformers: AoE, it makes all the more sense.

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Still need to pay for internet and keep up the momentum next month to pay for that again plus electricity. Please help me if you can, I need it. Please. #MutualAidBoost #MutualAidHelp #EmergencySky #HelpSky
