Shout out to all the other demented freaks whose gay root was Voldo

McSweeney's still has it

Long ago, a friend commented that he hated that being raised Christian still affected his thinking after leaving the church. I asked what he meant, thinking it was a philosophy of ethics. "Whenever I'm pissed off I say 'Jesus Christ' and I hate that." RIP Chad, you would've hated Christofascism.

I've been doing job interviews and have to practice reasonable answers about AI like "you have to develop use cases with measurable outcomes" Because off the cuff I cannot say "it destroys jobs and makes you worse at thinking and worse at your job" when the asker is probably using it in some way

The original Spriggan movie is up on Internet Archive (English dub 😭) The Istanbul chase scene is still incredible. Wide angle lenses, stylization, realism, great fight choreography, it's got it all. 4°C outdid themselves. This movie borders on horror for random dudes. They're all already dead.

Big tub of gochujang save me... Save me big tub of gochujang

My girlfriend rightfully spotted this book as something I would enjoy

People know about cow tools, but do they know about gun bones

Yes, I had a few clamshell Disney VHSs growing up, but I can remember multiple times that watching Mighty Max in the morning made me late for the school bus. The Biker Mice from Mars had a firmer grip on my heart than any Disney creation.

Forgive a bit of a thread 🧵 while I explain my favorite kitchen decoration. I grew up pretty poor. Not destitute, but my single mom was a social worker in a state that drastically underpaid its government workers. When I grew up and eventually became more professionally successful (this took until

Eggs are so good with Fly By Jing, but I can't stop singing it to Rush's Fly by Night because I'm a nerd.

Forget about being a weapon forged for purpose. What about characters who were as thoughtlessly built for their task as a hotel room key. Characters who were made to be overwritten, whose purpose could be carelessly erased if stored by something with a strong enough magnetism.

holy shit...??? legendary animator John Ripa just posted a long lost pencil test from the very first version of Tangled, where it was a cute romcom and Jack Black was the main love interest, omg. we were robbed TWICE #animation #tangled

Always tell someone you're gay with the same tone as telling someone you're in the X-Men.

When in Portland, be sure to grab a selfie at its most recognisable landmark

My wife looked at Togusa and assumed he was a butch lesbian, and I’ll say it right now: Kitty Cat Mouth Butch Togusa would ruin some lives on here.

My gf was so disappointed when she learned this was a reference, rather than a complete non sequitur.

almost ten years into my transition, it's still moving to see other trans people thriving, be confident & happy, & other bodies who look like mine being beautiful or sexy or whatever we want them to be

this thread is spot on

Fried rice for breakfast. Furikake in the eggs, maple syrup and toasted sesame oil in the soy sauce. What a way to start the day

Two outta five ain't bad

this book rules and you should buy it

why can't they just let him have his dreams

The local Friends of the Library have an enormous warehouse bookshop, and currently there's a bogo sale on scifi mass market books, so I've seen a lot of rad covers

Babe wake up the sky is gay!!! 🌈✨️

Everyone's favorite constellations, Big Dog and Puppies

Cleaning out the kitchen. RIP our jar of Super Cayenne. It was just bulk dried cayenne from WinCo, but it was unreasonably hot. I would measure out enough for a pot of chili by balancing some on the back edge of a butter knife. I'm not a spice wimp! There was something diabolical with this batch.

My cat is perfect His name is Paprika

ngl I'm reading a book right now where the author is doing so much stuff that I want to do, but at the same time I don't care about any of the characters or the stakes, and the sex is AWFUL, but her writing is a little charming. It has given me such faith that my book is going to be good.

Oh boy do I have a free comic for you

I'm putting this out in the world because surely someone besides me can use it: all of the really good fancy dandelion blend teas are hella expensive. Roasted dandelion by itself is dirt cheap, and so are mulling spices. Surely I'm not the only person who fell in love with dandelion tea at...

I need a Wallace and Gromit style rube goldberg machine to launch darts full of my meds at me when I wake up in the morning.

more yuri with yaoi hands please

I just can't imagine a situation in which it is germane to call it a corn maze but not a corn maize. Missed opportunities everywhere.

Working in a creative field has taught me a lot of valuable skills I wouldn't have learned otherwise, but this one has been the most helpful:

It was a banger drawing too 😭

Comics publisher with no kids or YA titles

Why are you trans? (Wrong answers only) I read Piers Anthony too young.

“Very real harm to very real people,” as the judge put it in his ruling blocking RFK Jr.’s policy on gender-affirming care—acknowledging that the harm here is not to the rule of law alone, that the result of putting unserious leaders in the federal government is pain, chaos, and avoidable danger.

whoever coined this should be given a ticker tape parade

I didnt see the actual trailer linked so here: youtu.be/vMzCEBxTPgE?...

Bacon is, at best, the 4th best breakfast meat. (hamburger patty, ham steak, sausage patty)

Lifting Waits takes place inside of about 8-10 city blocks. The fact that one of them is on the other side of town is a big plot point.

I did expect to live on the west coast. There was some deep part of me that thought my gender would change and I'd be queer in some way. And I had a single mom, so I did assume there would be some struggle. I really thought higher education would make a noticeable difference in my life 🫠

The occasion for wearing my patent creepers for the first time? Gyno checkup

Post-its are necessary for outlining, then my first two drafts are written on a Pomera electric typewriter, which saves me from the distraction of connected devices. I like the retro feel of both of these methods. Later drafts happen in Ellipsus, which I migrated to after admitting Google is evil.
