There was no way I couldn't draw this haha

Something people need to get into their heads pronto is that when it comes to oppression, legal contradiction and ambiguity are features, not bugs. 'Heads, I win: tails', you lose gives the oppressor all the tools they could want, regardless of the situation

Fucking hell... Uitstekend werk weer van @pointerkro-ncrv.bsky.social

All the world will be your enemy, Witch with a Thousand Enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, tinkerer, listener, runner, woman with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and the dolls shall never be destroyed.

New paper out: The environmental bill of the top 10% of consumers is more than $1.7 to $5.7 trillion a year. "The top 10%" sounds like billionaires but it's essentially the middle class of the wealthy world & up: more than 60% live in the US & EU, 2% in India 🧵 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Gelekte Kremlin-chats onthullen hoe Rusland desinformatiecampagnes uitvoert in Europa. Onderzoeksjournalist Huib Modderkolk legt uit hoe een Russisch PR-bureau te werk gaat.

Gender critical folks also don't believe us when we tell them "sex-based rights" is an idea they themselves made up in just the last handful of years.

hoooo boyyyy, this feels insane to look at

Nog steeds geen rode lijn.

“Van de 10 doelpunten van het NLds elftal werden er 9 door zwarte spelers gemaakt. Toch ontwaakten zij met een dubbele kater: van de gemiste strafschoppen én van bakken racisme en haat. Was hun kleur tijdens het succes goed genoeg om Oranje te dragen, nu waren ze het tenue opeens onwaardig.” 🎯

De SGP wou een onafhankelijk en wetenschappelijk advies om hun transhaat te onderbouwen. Want “de kinderen”. De gezondheidsraad geeft een advies. Die walgelijke Veluwse jank Taliban:

Mijn koninkrijk voor één fucking nieuwsbericht dat durft te benoemen dat het Cass-rapport geschreven is door mensen uit transfobe haatgroepen

En weer een prachtige column van @tomkniesmeijer.bsky.social !

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

'Dit is een ingezonden opiniestuk. Het standpunt in dit artikel is niet per definitie ook het standpunt van Trouw' als je minstens maandelijks een feitenvrije transfobie opinie plaatst dan begint die disclaimer een beetje potsierlijk te worden

Pieter Omtzigt is gestopt met huilen nu hij zich weer toelegt om trans kinderen het leven zuur te maken en natuurlijk wil @trouw.nl dat maar wat graag publiceren

watching twilight and I keep making myself laugh imagining if it was just that bitch alucard or any other vampire instead of Edward

New update on the NBTK trans research misconduct case. - The ethics board have determined that this was a severe breach of research ethics principles - The offending papers should be withdrawn - Researchers have three weeks to submit a complaint about the verdict

Wanneer heeft de Nederlandse 'kwaliteitsjournalistiek' het lef had om Israëlische berichtgeving te vertalen en te publiceren? Wie wil dit sujet als 'bondgenoot'? Wie vindt dat dit 'bestaansrecht' heeft? Wie noemt dit 'zelfverdediging'?

One of my favorite pictures is this one by Whitey Schafer from 1940. It was created to break all of the Hays Code in just one frame.

Onze @minister-president.bsky.social van de beeldvorming kan niets, o echt hoor - hij kan niets beginnen - helemaal niets.

I'll be honest, I've never really felt the same way about Death of the Author after learning its origins (Barthes was angry over a Balzac story about a chaser, written over a century prior, for referring to a character as a woman instead of a femboy no I'm not making this up)

Israël bezet steeds meer van Gaza, Palestijnen aan de grens leven in angst

The death of subtext is very very bad for textual representation by the way. It only reinforces and feeds into narratives of how to be queer and trans in the "proper" way, and dislocates queerness and queer readings from not-explicitly-queer texts. If something can only be read queerly in one way,

Like, yeah, we are taking your death of the author permissions away until you know who Barthes is. It’s okay, it won’t be bad reading, you’ll really connect with all the transmisogyny!

Okay, it's time for a Moist Owlette™ timeline cleanse. Today's moist owlette is "Owlfredo" at the Stone Zoo in Stoneham, Massachusetts. She's an Eastern screech owl (Megascops asio) & Animal Ambassador with a big personality. (📷: @zoonewengland.bsky.social via IG)

Some long hair Ranma doodles today based on that one arc

Girlfriend suggested in the groupchat that US-Americans treat their cultures of origin like Hogwarts houses and I haven't recovered since

Far-right activists are celebrating the European Parliament's approval to create deportation centres outside the EU, which tells you all you need to know about it. For them, it's a first step towards their goal of "remigration". Once again, supported by the "mainstream right".

When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

Eindelijk! 🙏🏽 Conversietherapie wordt strafbaar. De Eerste Kamer stemt voor de wet van PvdD/D66/PRO/SP/VVD. Niemand mag onder druk worden gezet om hun seksuele oriëntatie of genderidentiteit te "veranderen". Vandaag zegt de politiek duidelijk: iedereen mag zichzelf zijn. 💚🏳️‍🌈

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

One reason i think everyone should take an archaeology class is to internalise with tangible examples that there is no pure, natural past utopia and that antibiotics and vaccines are what stand between us and a 50% child mortality rate and scores of women dying needlessly during pregn and birth

Before the embers consume me whole, I choose to bloom one final time. #digitalart #fire #oc #illustration

The thing about victim-blaming is that it's easy to do even when you're a victim of sexual assault, and even when you're doing it to yourself. It gives you a false sense of control. You tell yourself you were stupid, it's your fault. If you're smart, you can prevent it from happening again, right?

Stroomtekort, woningnood, overbelasting v.h. net, achterstallig infrastructureel onderhoud, tekort aan drinkwater, verwaarlozing defensie, slechter wordend onderwijs. Laat de regering beginnen met het op orde brengen van de kerntaken, i.p.v. iedere keer die populistische hysterie over migratie.

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

Hier riep de voorlichter van Wilders ook toe op, een tijdje terug. De neonazi heeft nu namens de PVV een zetel in het Europees Parlement. Nederland is bijzonder tolerant voor fascisme.

Call me an idealist, but I think that a prerequisite for hosting an international sport event should be that you're willing to host an international sport event.

Every time I've seen Graeber and Wengrow discussed in an academic context, it's the same thing: everyone agrees that it is 'stimulating' and 'timely' because you are required to say something nice and then everyone also concludes that it utterly fumbles their specific period of expertise.

And I find the, 'sure it was made up, but it is interesting!' responses really frustrating, because mostly what that adds up to is, "Yes, he's wrong, but he's wrong in a way that flatters my ideological presumptions and I'd rather not question those" and that's not a position I can respect.

Wat Nederland te maken heeft met de schoonzoon van Trump die beschermd natuurgebied in Albanië wegbulldozert om er een luxe resort van te maken. Dubieus.

BREAKING: Die AfD zwingt Sinti und Roma in Gelsenkirchen zum Putzen – und fordert danach ihre Vertreibung. Das rassistische Anbrüllen nennt sie: „Wir haben sehr erfolgreich kommuniziert.“ – Womit? Mit den Geschichtsbüchern?

Why has this party not been banned yet? The German constitution was supposed to prevent the rise of another Nazi party. It’s failing completely.

Today is my birthday! 🎂 My portfolio is here should you be in the mood to share it wolfskulljack.com And also should you wish to donate to a charity to help me celebrate my birthday I would love to support the ME/CFS charity here meassociation.org.uk/literature/i...
