strong contender for the greatest line in fantasy film

having another good happy cry hearing about how the books helped somebody's kid 💜🥹 this kind of thing is why I believe in Magica Riot so strongly

They're going to keep going because scapegoating trans people is a rallying cry for their base, one which they receive little pushback on from their so-called political opponents. So why wouldn't they?

have they figured out how to get the gender essentialism out of wicca yet

Liberals: well there were valid concerns about trans people but now the case is decided, the fight is over, and that's that The Trump regime:

The use of the word “eliminate” in this context should really freak out more than just those of us he’s seeking to remove, to be honest. This should be a red flag so big that it’s visible from space.

speaking generally, I think the no. 1 thing you can do as a cis ally is help a trans woman get a job

so i log off for a couple of days and now we're debating whether books need big words and sex scenes??? two of my favorite things a book can have???? no. i don't believe you. this is a prank pulled on me specifically

do movies NEED dance numbers. do women NEED orgasms. is pleasure actually, fundamentally sinful. what was so wrong about the town in The Giver, anyway,

The AQI is designed *only* to measure fine particulate matter (PM2.5), it does *not* measure gaseous chemical compounds like anhydrous ammonia, hydrogen cyanide, and fluoride gasses

Posting this for a specific audience here.

Let's look at a little bit more of Oscar Chichoni's work, somewhere in between Giménez, Moebius, Caza, with an obvious Giger influence as well, exploring the frictions of flooding, inchoate metals and warm, thicc flesh

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

RIP Doormaker

Many people will shout, "No one is seriously suggesting that young people be put on hormones!" and to be perfectly, 100% clear, trans people are seriously suggesting that. Trans people of all ages would prefer if young trans people had access to HRT instead of the compromise of puberty blockers.

bottom surgery for trans teens is an easy thing to fearmonger about but it’s also easy to push back on rhetorically. “no one is doing SRS on teens!” is a weak argument that is also not true and throws trans kids under the bus. “teens can consent to life saving healthcare, dipshit.” is true

and dont forget: the entire moral panic about gender affirming care for trans youth is just the grooming libel spouted over and over from increasingly mainstream sources, so when dems give rhetorical ground on this what theyre actually ceding is “trans kids are groomed into getting sex changes”

A bunch of people on this site are being stupidly literal about the "HR lady" thing. It's not just about HR depts! It's about this idea -- absolutely ubiquitous over on X & in tech company boardrooms -- that bold, risk-taking "masculine energy" is being restrained by niggling nanny-state rules.

Hi I'm posting a 54-page PDF to the only app where when I post a 54-page PDF people sometimes read it everyone should read the ENTIRE whistleblower statement about DOGE attempting to falsely "kill off" 2.7 people through the SSA Death Master File. www.washingtonpost.com/documents/be...

"Trans breast as reterritorialized site of production" is going to live rent free in my head tonight lol.

Hegemonic masculinity is usually defined as autonomy, independence, leadership---that which women are not supposed to possess nor aspire to. Gender is in and of itself an act of excluding women from humanity and agency, drawing a boundary between those who possess and those who are possessed.

Nothing I’ve ever done takes as much courage as it does for her to get up and go to school every day while the full weight of the conservative legal apparatus comes for her. And she’s not only still out there but crushing it. Happy pride, Becky. We’ve got your back no matter what SCOTUS decides.

Every once in a while you hit the Rosetta stone of American politics and yeah this is about 60%-70% of American gender politics in one post Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

31% of Democrats polled said being transgender is "morally wrong". Five years ago it would have been a fraction of that. The propaganda is working, the silence from Democrats is deafening, & all of this is why every step backward can't go ignored for even a moment. news.gallup.com/poll/710810/...

Chatbot companies brag about creating “PhD-level intelligence.” But one skill PhDs develop early is how to walk away from cranks. A chatbot can’t. PhDs learn to vet ideas fast and either avoid dry wells or find how to turn failed forays into learning experiences. Chatbots don’t.

On the second Magica Riot book. Loving it, great work, @magicariot.com 💙 A new small goal in life is to remember to use "this hot plant water bouys my warrior spirit" expression in real life. I hope I remember. ^^

we at least should get a social safety net or idk a governor who doesn't think trans people are weird freaks

man if Beccera wins it's another four years of your MAGA uncle complaining about California being a communist failed state while the governor hunts homeless people for sport and I for one am sick of that

Good evening, I'm at the Montrose Center here in Houston for a vigil for Persia Amarra Conway, the transgender woman who was found dead in SW Houston. Her family is going to speak the media soon and give us an update.

I knew what I was gonna do with Harman Azure before I got it. It swaps dye couplers in the red/blue layers, so red light develops as blue and vice versa, giving these amazing alien planet landscapes. Combine that with telescopes and antennas on Mt. Wilson, and you get some Muse album cover shit.

I've spent 15 years becoming a researcher & tenured professor. I will absolutely quit and do literally anything else the moment someone tells me my job is to sell the racist, environment-destroying machine to students (esp. 1st gen, low-income ones). Shame on CSU. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/01/m...

everyone in publishing knows the little codes--"audience size" and "not sure how to break this out to readers" and "didn't connect with the protagonist" and countless others. it's horseshit and publishing needs to look in the mirror about it

happy pride

its fucked up how you can love someone so much that you will never be able to properly express in its entirety and then you just have to accept that and trust that they kinda get it even if you dont have the words

the real clown shit is when you do mundane stuff like cooking together or watching a stupid show together and youre suddenly overcome by a love 200x more profound than any other feeling youve ever known. and then you have to sit with the fact its been brought about by the act of watching Riverdale

Mech corruption but it's actually about having a support network

bsky.app/profile/anth... They talk about gametes and chromosomes because that lets them advocate for genocide while sounding civil and rational about it.

Like it should be *embarrassing* to not notice that it's a call to genocide, it should be a huge red flag if you can completely neglect the genocide part and instead focus on literally any of the nonsense they're paid by billionaire sex pest freaks to babble.

It's wild to see cis people ignore the whole "trans people aren't people" part of a terf's whole billionaire pedophile funded platform, and instead focus on literally any other part of their argument. It should be extremely obvious they're not talking about gametes or chromosomes, but genocide.

Terfs will always try to rationalize their position with science-sounding words. They use sciencey-sounding words in order to get you caught up in Brandolini's Law, when their actual argument is "trans people aren't people." Argue against *that* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandol...

Bernthal about his role in We Own This City: Yeah, I play the good guy

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

Adding to Tom Steyer discourse

nobody making art about trans women wants us to be women, even other trans people. they want us to be something pathetic and wrongly shaped, forever grasping for womanhood, forever failing. they want us to be the tragedy of gender made flesh.
