A holiday near and dear to my heart!

why haven't they put catra into star trek are they stupid?

But I'll tell you this for free: We won't have to look hard to find veterans who swung hard left while in the service. We won't have to look hard to find corn-fed white boys who went off to war and came back deeply distrustful of authoritarian politics. We made a *lot* of those.

Gentle reminder that polls don't gauge what is ethical or just. A poll about how "most Americans" feel about trans healthcare is simply a way to understand how effective media and religious campaigns have been in their transphobia.

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Even the toddlers were out dripping us. All I could was watch these beautiful people celebrate & be like…

EVERYONE WAS DRIPPED OUT. Name an American holiday where you’re suppose to be your best dressed. Guess what? We look like BUMS compared to Indians celebrating Diwali tonight. And I love that for them.

My Indian neighbors celebrating Diwali tonight. So I walked up & wished them a happy Diwali…which turned into “wanna celebrate with us?” Which I said “YES. But is there more for me to know? If so? Teach me.” They did. Y’all. America needs to step its game up. Folks were in the FINEST OF FABRICS.

yes girl spill the tea!! no you don't sound crazy at all right now, don't worry about it

Five Steps to Building a Successful Anti-Racist Neighborhood Watch - a pdf from our own IGD 🖤

Lecturing active soldiers about being too fat while dropping standards so low for the ICE deportation force that a third of their recruits can't handle the easiest PT test I've ever heard of www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

the statistic that scares me to death is that 71% of Americans thought queerness was morally acceptable in 2022, and it dropped to 64% in 2023. better than when I was a kid but who the fuck are these people with no moral fiber?? who are these spineless creeps change their minda on a dime

no time to explain get in the spaceship from Flight of the Navigator

IMHO, you can’t understand what’s happening to the US if u don’t know about the “network state” movement & its “parallel establishment” strategy, which includes building “parallel societies” (w/ their own physical territories) & “parallel institutions” in media, education, finance, science, etc. 1/

@distributeaid.org: - plans a supplychain across 3 continents - predicts what displaced people will need and then prepositions the aid - ships containerized goods across the world just in time for them to fly out of the distro van / free store That's a planned economy. It's just not capitalist.

Blind Date with a Werewolf by Patricia Briggs This is a fun concept - despite the uh.. utter disasters that happen. I enjoyed Asil as a POV and his willingness to go along with the pranking. His faith as a Muslim is also threaded through this. 🪐📚💙 #specfic #sff 📚🌎 1/

did really well in one exchange against a really really good fencer today and got so excited I did a little bunny hop dance mid-round

it is funny how much studio executives dislike making money

One of the most damning indictments of games journalism today is its refusal -- both in the mainstream and in the independent venture -- to defend the marginalized in the industry. The lack of support from games journalists for NyaraVT is a fantastic example. Silence as she's bullied for being trans

Halloween Torben... it's been so long I'm rusty

Every time I speak with Eslam she asks me to help getting her @soma-eslam.bsky.social account restored. She had a whole community on Bluesky and it was unfairly taken from her. If you want to email [email protected] to ask for it to be restored it would maybe be helpful ❤️

I have an entire list of news sites I've contacted that have published sex-work positive, pro-NSFW, and/or anti-censorship stories before that never even bothered to get back to me. Its pretty frustrating that it feels like this mass wave of anti-culture is being ignored by some outlets.

aht aht cook a meal for WHO? you want us to quarter some soldiers in our kitchens while we're at it?

There is not and cannot be a productive radical politics without its basis in hope and philosophical optimism

Like there are no laws. I've been banging that drum and it's largely made people very mad at me because they pretend and the pretending is historically load bearing but there aren't any. The powerful do whatever they want and they can kill you for whatever reason. And that's the law.

Sorry to flash on main but it's also been 10 years since I got this baby

I'm genuinely glad it's this obvious now. Elon Musk with a chainsaw, thrusting his pelvis to show he's slashing the benefits of USAID's soft power. Donald Trump, the used up vodka and meat reseller, recently of reality TV show game, knocking out the walls of the White House personally. WAKE UP BITCH

The best compliments aren't phrased as compliments. I remember being in the south of France and a shop owner asked where I was from. I told her Oregon. She then asked, "Is that near Paris? I'm trying to place your accent." I've been pumping my fist over that one for more than 30 years now.

Fundamentally every ending to ME3 asks you to concede that the Reapers are a bad solution to a real problem & propose an alternate solution to that problem. But the entire story up to that point was one long argument that the problem wasn't real except insofar as the Reapers caused it on purpose

That joy must not be sold. It must not be "privatised," made into another privilege for the privileged. A public library is a public trust. And that freedom must not be compromised. It must be available to all who need it, and that's everyone, when they need it, and that's always. — Ursula K Le Guin
