Actively editing my review of Tatort Münster #19 "Between the Ears", a German murder mystery with an intersex character.

Watching a recording of Achille in Sciro, the opera about Achilles disguised as a maiden to draft dodge during the Trojan War. It is incredibly gay. Like, even if it was designed to be comedy, it challenges gender norms left and right. Pretty much everyone's androgynous.

Obama was our best conservative president.

(To the tune of Dancing Queen) You are a kitty-cat Thin or fat Your fur, I'd like to pat You can pounce You can jump high Having the time of your life See that squirrel You go hunt that Being a kitty-cat

Poseidon in myths: Sadistic psychopath. All of his children are villains except for Theseus, the anti-hero coded like a bad guy (also a sadistic psychopath). Just name-dropping his parentage signals a bad guy. Poseidon in modern media: Cool water guy! It'd be so fun to be his kid!

I'm watching a 1970s Japanese variety show for families. It's interesting because it largely reads as child-centric, but because Japan is a lot less prudish than America, you have little sex jokes in there like a sketch about explorers in the desert who are so thirsty that they drink camel semen.

I'm remembering the time I tried to discuss Buridan's ass with teenage coworkers who seemed freaked out that I would say "ass" to them. I quickly switched to "donkey." 😅

Most people trying to meow don't put enough scritchy R sounds into it. You want to really trill mrRrRrRow...!

~$400 MAY FOOD/MEDS/HYGIENE & UTILITIES - Electric's already hit & internet will next week. Disabled. In SSI appeals. No income until won. Any combo ppl x $ = $400 keeps them safe. Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2026

There's a whole genre of Israel/Palestine allegories that are like "Those silly people over there keep squabbling! Why can't they be enlightened like us? Let's trick them into getting along!" It comes off as condescending, naive, and overly dismissive.

I thought I saw a guy wearing a sweatshirt that said "Yaoi." But it was only "Yale." Boring!

We endure the Seattle rains (Just kidding. I actually love them) all so that once a year we are treated to the lilacs blossoming and the neighborhoods smelling like heaven.

I do not ascribe to conspiracy what can otherwise be ascribed to fascists just doing stuff like that.

My case worker is hoping to meet with me again to discuss long term temp housing until section 8 kicks in. She's jus been busy. In the meantime, help me keep up the momentum to pay for electric and internet please. #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidBoost #EmergencySky #HelpSky

Still need financial aid as next month will be bills. I need to keep the momentum up to pay for electric and internet. Please help me pay for them plus food and supplies. #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidBoost #EmergencySky #HelpSky

Watching Charlie Chaplin films, I'm realizing that a lot of modern comedy comes from these, just recomposed into another setting.

I rewatched Little Shop of Horrors. It's notable as the rare example of a Jewish horror film with zero reference to the Nazis. The evil plant is really just an evil plant.

Credit where it's due, even to The Mouse: This is a VERY positive thing to do and was also probably incredibly difficult 👍

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

I think I ship Mel/Santos on The Pitt.

I watched an HBO documentary on the Myers-Briggs personality test. It was designed by a woman with a level of racism comparable to Lovecraft. It really just measures how much you act like a stereotypical white man and problematizes anything else.

They Ask: Have you memorized any poems? I Answer: ...My name is Cow,

I honestly think a number of social justice people who enjoy ganging up on others, satisfying their bloodlust with harassment, and justifying it with the idea of "listening to" the members of minorities they've chosen as leaders would be quite happy in the military. They aren't pacifists by nature.

Rewatching Avatar: Heavily flawed but entertaining, like the Transformers movies. After seeing the overt dominatrix figure in 3, Neytiri's aggression towards Jake reads as similarly fetishistic. She calls him "like a baby" but doesn't nurture like someone who actually believes that, only denigrates.

Oh dear, I've only just learned that @joehunter.bsky.social, the fantastic artist who did the cover art for the future Nick Knacks book, is in the hospital. If you can show some love and spare a few for expenses, it would be much appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/support-jo...

I regret to inform y'all that Hans Zimmer fuckin sucks.

The various reasons people cite for Star Trek Academy being bad writing are really just repackaged bigoted reasons people hated earlier shows that are now so old that they accept them as good old days. They hated Sisko, Janeway, Tuvok, Worf, and Geordi, too. Some older fans still do.

*cat walks across your timeline, meowing obnoxiously*

Okay, so "slop" is a Nazi term. Is there a good progressive way to describe crappy AI images?

One Good Man

If Trump backs down from his ultimatum on Tuesday, it'll be TACO Tuesday.

Rewatching the Game of Thrones finale years later, it's not that bad. It's not as good as the previous seasons, but I think we exaggerated its poor quality in our collective disappointment.

Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice opens with Ben Schwartz enthusiastically singing a Disney song like this is a normal thing adult men do.

I really enjoyed the sci-fi series Pantheon, currently on Netflix.

Check out my latest review, on the 1988 gay horror-comedy film Curse of the Queerwolf. It did not age well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G1hg...

Okay, a new Going Rampant video is available for early access on Patreon for those pledging $2 per essay and will be made available for everyone tomorrow!

Alright, rendering. Finally.

It's interesting rewatching Stargate after learning about world history and mythology. Someone certainly did a lot of research, and it sometimes resulted in authentic portrayals and even jokes for nerds, but they usually distorted a lot of it for cheesy sci-fi with names the actors could pronounce.

PSA: Ben Gvir's first name is not Ben. It's like "bin Laden", a way of writing descendency. His first name is Itamar.

I feel like the "Men Writing Women" subreddit has shifted from criticism of male writers' knowledge of female anatomy and projection of sexual fantasies to just calling it sexist when men write horny men accurately and hating portrayals of women who like sex. Is it breasting boobily to be horny?

Rewatching Inuyasha as an adult: There are a lot of hot female villains in this show. This was aimed at straight girls, right?

Calling it now: Bubble is the red AI. Caine, despite his name, is the blue AI. #TADC

YouTube thinks I'm a teen and says it's going to close my account if I don't let an adult supervise me. I've contacted support, and they don't know what the hell's going on.

Seeing all the new murals pop up has been great! Hopefully this spreads to other states, art has always been central to resistance, protest signs are a great example! Credits: @lamuraltour IG

>someone posts a meme complaining about something >looks inside >cute cat!

*glances at news*

Idly remembering the time I tried to engage in polite debate with an MRA who approached me with calm intellectualism. The instant he realized I was a trans woman, he flipped into mindless screaming about me being a traitor and the enemy of all men, how all trans women needed to harassed, etc.

Still need to meet my case worker but she told me the landlord is on board with the plan of the new long term agreement. Just need to meet with her to sign the paperwork. In the meantime, help me pay for electric and internet next month. Please! #MutualAidHelp #MutualAidBoost #EmergencySky #HelpSky

When 3.5% of a population actively participates in sustained, peaceful protest, it can topple authoritarian regimes — like the one currently in the Oval Office. We need 12 million people to show up on March 28 to get to 3.5%. Will you be one of them? Find out how at nokings.org

If you are not Jewish and you are telling Jewish people what is and isn’t antisemitic you need to take a time out. I don’t care if it ‘doesn’t look antisemitic’ to you.
