Yeah, that’s the America I grew up in. When I say the anti-trans playbook now is the same playbook as they ran in the 90s against gay people, I mean the SAME

Are you gay and can read? Do you want to keep that cognitive function going to spite straight people? Subscriptions to to The Flytrap, Autonomy News, and Mothership are still available in a single bundle for $32.49! Get the deal: https://f.mtr.cool/mlavptbmlp

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.

I am just curious why "a disaster for actual humans who are employed to translate games" is "less egregious" than "machine-made music, textures, and narrative". All of that sounds pretty equally egregious to me.

still might potentially be the funniest gag in this whole series . thirty feet into a telephone pole and got a sprained ankle. happy anniversary to those who celebrate

Yeah I believe this is flatly true. The revolt of the bosses has a slightly different flavor but it’s the same project.

Defending Platner’s documented and alleged behavior as the natural cost of running regular, working class guys suggests that we should just assume any working class man will treat women poorly. It also suggests we should just consign working class women to lives of mistreatment and abuse.

“Feminism is the radical notion that women are people” hit in the 80s and still hits today tbh

My day job is at a rural branch of a public library, and we have a Pride display. Yesterday I was at the desk when a man came in. Fifties, maybe, or sixties. Plaid shirt, mesh trucker cap, suspenders. He went up to the display and just stood there for a long moment. Then he came up to the desk. 🧵 1/

I truly believe that New Yorkers are capable of booing someone to death. I know you can do it. I have never been so certain about anything.

I specifically requested no more metaphors

i don’t know how you can insist on your progressive or leftist bona fides and say something like the quoted post. to see that misogyny is one of the animating forces behind MAGA and think that should not be rejected but embraced reveals it was always about domination for you

i'm sorry men being forced to answer for themselves is so painful. you know what's more painful? the level of intimate partner violence in this country. the baseline disrespect and humiliation that women are forced to take in order to survive.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

this is what I mean when I say "don't let orgs and managers see discriminating against trans folk as the path of last resistance". transphobes are persistent and annoying. be just as annoying. show them compliance is going to be a legal nightmare

Full offense, but we shouldn't have to stop, hold your hand, and say, "That was a sad choice, wasn't it? Can you help think of a better one?" when writing for adults

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

every time some guy squeals about "declining birthrates" as a "crisis for humanity," remember that one of the biggest contributing factors is the decline in teenage pregnancies caused by adult men. that's what they're whining about and that's what they want to bring back.

most any characteristic one could try to use as a tell (this, em dashes, whatever) is only there because it also occurs frequently in the corpus

very awesome feeling to have Steve Lieber draw a picture of the scene in the song I wrote that released today

The Purcell Principle means it always too late for courts to fix something racist and never too late for states to do something racist

People are weird sometimes if you don't have kids, they're like what about having a legacy, and I just point to my box of various wires and power cables

The Purcell Principle. The Major Questions Doctrine. The Poopoo Peepee Precept.

misogyny is seen as ideologically neutral, not worth commenting on, a "different" issue relative to racial/ethnic hatred. and i don't know what to do with that when it is, increasingly, the load bearing underpinning of the multiracial far right.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

I'm not sure the Patriarchal Abuse fandom will fix their lives by securing a Sex Object To Abuse

Getting a stark reminder of how much I played the Vampire Crawlers demo when I open up the full game and get hit with 66 achievements popping in succession lmfao

Im fucking howling at the steam reviews

What you gonna do about it, huh? Nail a strongly worded letter to some church door somewhere?

underdiscussed culture shock experience is that Japanese people do not have the taboo around opening umbrellas indoors and will just let 'em rip inside the office to dry them off on rainy days. viscerally discomfiting.

the way this makes sense for RFK is that "healthy people" and "sick people" are ontological categories.

His legacy lives on…

The full illustration I did for @taplingzines.bsky.social "We've Always Been Here" The zine depicts queer couples throughout cultures and history and I had the honours of portraying a Japanese lesbian couple in an underground bar during the 80s✨ #queer #lesbians #illustration

pulitzer grade journalism to assign the clavicular interview to a man who looks like that lmao

god damn it dude

i double don't believe in this shit and i'm absolutely furious every time the bishop of rome, that false prophet, makes a good point

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

even the replies to this are full of people that didn't know (no shade). money can't buy you everything but it can buy you a lot. this is how far the media has been captured by the hyper rich that don't want ANY of this shit talked about

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

waow. toxic yuri vn jam TWO. this time with a combined of $6000 in prices, were strapping a bomb collar on every participant that only unlocks once you release a yummy toxic yuri visual novel. this is a beginner friendly jam. come make your first vn now! itch.io/jam/toxic-yu... #TOXICYURIVNJAM

Trump and his administration do not care about women’s lives. Posting a video of a woman being graphically murdered is yet another form of objectification and dehumanization. The purpose of it was to shock and offend, in order to encourage racism against immigrant men. It is a form of terror.

sure didn't expect to see this on JP news.
