it’s getting away!

This Mother's Day, please remember that 1 in 5 Black women will be evicted during her lifetime and 1 in 5 children born to a Black mom will be evicted during their childhood. Mass eviction is as destructive and evil as mass incarceration. We just don't talk about it.

What people think ML is about: knees and elbows What Takara thinks ML is about:

But evidently a lot of collectors don't want their toys to be designed by artists. They want the engineers to put the fries in the bag.

I mean the other problem with Transformers collectors is that they are, even by the low standards of fandom in general, astonishingly resistant to information.

Both of these projects also prove that the fandom cannot comprehend physical mechanisms must take up physical space but that's a whole other issue

While completely different toys in all regards 86 Astrotrain and Adamas Machina Predaking prove that many collectors shirk art that is compromised in interesting ways for very specific reasons which is like, one of the most interesting kinds of art!

I think the biggest problem with the field of figure 'criticism' as it stands now, and calling it that even in quotes feels wrong to me, is this. It's 'does this check all of my boxes' which is so joyless and uninteresting

I canceled my '86 Astrotrain pre-order because it didn't look like it was going to be fun or satisfying for me. But clearly it was designed by people with artistic goals and priorities, like the wheel linkages and cargo hatch, with passion and effort involved.

The most common pathology in TF toy fandom is not treating the toys as art projects created by people with artistic goals and ambitions. Every toy is instead treated as a list of features and downsides, and any unsatisfying balance between those becomes "incompetence" or laziness.

remember a few years back when a corruption hentai doujin was a big meme for some reason

reddit, the guy i like keeps solving problems on our island by using a supernatural power that kills him. i keep using my supernatural power to give him my lifeforce by jerking him off while asleep. all of this is fine and sustainable but how do i get him to let me jerk him off while he is awake too

caffeine is perfect when you're having trouble concentrating and would rather be having trouble concentrating while vibrating

Everyone should be nicemaxxing. You should be kindmogging everyone

Feel better?

im being punished

well idk man consider seeking nuance

frankly unless the aliens are here to vaporize every fascist and force us into the federation of planets with fully automated gay luxury space communism for everyone i don't give a flying fuck about declassified ufo bullshit stop jangling keys and fucking do something you useless fucks

I will be forever proud that people can hate me but still must admit I am very good at my job.

I bet it's gonna come out that Discord is vibecoded like Bsky because this is ridiculous.

I will never not be baffled by a society that has "left wing extremism" as its boogeyman when it literally amounts to a belief that it would be good if people were fed, housed, and not murdered

> No account is suspended or removed without human oversight. there you have it. every trans woman banned by staff was manual and not automated. someone on the team decided that a woman complaining about being harassed for her rape was worth being banned for and sent that out as an email

very late Mar10 art but happy mario to everyone who celebrates!

Happy Rat Day. As always, here’s an illustration of the Street Fighter mod that turns Juri’s phone into a rat. #ratday #streetfighter

That's why I don't bother highlighting it. It's all bluster to intimidate us.

The closest to the actual Gestapo is ICE, which they have actually funded much more than the other agencies. And trans immigrants have many, many reasons to worry and fear those threats. So instead of doing the same cycle of fear and panic, let's focus on the reality of the threats and fight them.

In other words, they want you to think they're the Gestapo, when they're really just a modern J. Edgar Hoover. COINTELPRO-style tactics are awful and can definitely disrupt movements, but it's mostly an escalation of how feds have gone after anarchists, environmentalists, and Muslims for years

Case in point: these are not the actions of an agency which is organized enough to engage in mass-scale pogroms of trans people. Words are cheap, mass state violence on a minority group when your approval ratings are in the 30s is expensive.

If you make every trans person afraid that the feds are about to bust down doors and put us in camps, that materially harms every trans person. That is why even threats of genocidal actions are considered international war crimes. So my advice is to not play into it. Prepare, but don't panic.

in my opinion, the regime is out of juice for wide-scale repression. they can control the military but they can't fully wield the deep state. that's why they're drone striking 'cartel' boats. they can bluff and threaten to nuke iran or go after trans people, but they're too weak to do it.

- Trump's counterterrorism director quit over Iran - I'd bet even MAGA intelligence guys aren't gonna like orders that sound to them like "stop going after ISIS, these furries are the real problem" - 'counterterrorism' efforts focus on international groups, so non-US groups should be more worried

The fear is valid, the threats are real. But also, they have been saying this stuff for months and months now, with only one court case in a deep red state to show for it (Praireville). Mitigating factors include; - the 'deep state' (eg, career staff of intelligence agencies) hates Trump..

This is probably gonna gain traction soon, so I want to ground everyone before the fear that may come. The purpose of memos like this is probably best understood as to create fear. If they had the resources and ability to conduct mass crackdowns on trans groups, they would just do it.

The federal government is explicitly putting trans or anarchist groups on the same level of priority as international drug cartels and terrorism groups like Al Queda. Insanity.

I need people to show up for fighting ID Verification laws the same way y'all hammered payment processors because they're effectively the same issue but ID Verification violates your rights & safety even more making it easier for the government to come after you & your personal info to be stolen

The fact that people will assign “minor code” to a character purely because they’re short is so funny to me

one of the more frustrating radicalization experiences is, imho, seeing transparently and clearly the grand potential of humanity to create a living eden by our own hands and knowing its held back by cruel and greedy pocket kings and then realizing its been this way for all of history so far.

No, Patrick. Liking a fictional character that's "minor coded" doesn't make you a pedophile, you are simply projecting your paranoia and insecurity of your own interests being judged you must take some time to heal and accept the self.

We have to proceed from the premise that no Republican claim to power anywhere at any level is legitimate in any way. Every bill, every law, every proclamation, every ruling, all of it is fouled, none of it should be held binding on either moral sensibilities or legal standing, all must be reversed.

One side is like “can we disenfranchise all the Black voters by this weekend” and the other is like gotta follow the rules that govern the rules that control the rulebook

(guy who only knows sakiko as his coworker at the call center) no dude im telling you the chick who sits across from me is the keyboardist of that avemujica band. im for real dude they look the fucking same

Virginia Supreme Court declaring Democratic gerrymandering illegal while Republicans are literally wrapping themselves in Trump flags while disenfranchising black southerners is the most on brand moment for the modern USA.
