I have been laughing at this for a solid five minutes.

...& for those who prefer the written word, here is the text of my "Prejudice and the Unmarked/Marked Mindset" video in essay form. please give it "likes" & share widely! on Medium (friend link): juliaserano.medium.com/prejudice-an... & Substack (no paywall): juliaserano.substack.com/p/prejudice-...

🧵NEW VIDEO ESSAY: much of the focus of my post-Whipping Girl work (especially my books Sexed Up & Excluded) has been on understanding prejudice more generally & the role that "markedness" plays in how we (mis)perceive & (mis)interpret others. this video summarizes all that work! youtu.be/xiU-G0mTYVY

Sex Matters tried to block a ban on conversion practices, but the Council of Europe has voted to make it illegal goodlawproject.org/council-of-e...

Went to the rally today. Support Canadian game industry workers unionizing! ✊ actionnetwork.org/letters/re-o... @cwacanada1.bsky.social @uwch.bsky.social

this woman has always been a monster. she has been very deliberate and clear in her mission to ruin innocent people's lives. no one has really cared because she mostly targets queer people.

knowing em has brought so much joy to my life, she has literally made me a better person & deserves so much more than to be put through the wringer by these insurance companies just to ensure her cat can be happy & healthy if you have the means pls help & share around ko-fi.com/rathousepr/g...

in the olden days, before or maybe around the time web 2.0 was being said a lot lol, something that was always encouraged was to "own" your audience. this means not relying on these platforms and getting people to at minimum sign up for a mailing list, but there's others tools you can use as well.

Yeah, I recommend not using the patreon apple app to join. Just go on the website, it's 1. cheaper for YOU to support your favorite creatures and 2. All the money you give goes to the creator.

Reminding everyone, PLEASE, DO NOT sub to your favorite content creators through phone apps as it not only charges you more, it also takes a higher % from us AND to top it all off blocks the money from being received for 30 fucking days for some goddamned reason.

I can't help but feel someone somewhere has already done this but I can't find anything so uh, weird request but, does anyone know how many of an 8 bit system like C64 or NES you can emulate at the same time on a modern system?

A NYT reporter wanted to speak to me about what's happening in Minneapolis and I told them unequivocally no due to the NYT's role in creating the environment that has done so much harm to trans youth.

once we get through all of this, because we will, these assholes will be what we're fighting against

Hey everyone, today's my birthday. If you've ever enjoyed my or Saoirse's work on here all I ask today is you share this post. Our luck has been awful lately and I'd really like to turn things around 🙏 www.gofundme.com/f/help-zoe-a...

Submergence City (Neon Genesis Evangelion: Battle Orchestra, PS2-PSP, Headlock, 2007)

There’s a spot open in February and I need all the help I can get reaching my goal. Plz help me. Repost and donate 💕

FUUUCK I forgot how good hell's paradise was jfc.

they want their turn to use it too lol

Mayor Mamdani consistently and regularly demonstrates that your mayor, your politicians, could be doing this at any point and they just don't because they don't care, and that's exactly why the establishment was panicked and aggressively tried to make sure he lost. They didn't want you to see this.

there certainly have been some spirited choices in fighting games lately! not the characters I'd pick for sure. especially after learning about their background. idk, that shit's bad vibes frfr. a shitty character being in a thing is not the same as that shitty character being playable in a game.

Plz donate anything you can

i dumped a bunch of my thoughts about cyberpunk, sex, and the limits of trans representation on my personal blog. hope you find it interesting: open.substack.com/pub/myownsum...

Im losing it

Want to be very clear to anyone even remotely thinking about coming to events like GDC: Don't. It's not safe to be in the US, nobody's hiring or financing anyway, and it's not worth your life.

Crowdfunder launches in one week! 😬

GACHA CHARACTERS WHEN YOU SELECT THEM IN A MENU: "Boss, you're saying you don't drink water, only coke zero? Wow...you're amazing..." "Good morning, Master! I love you and only you. I'm incapable of being attracted to anyone else." "Endmin, I actually think your penis size is perfect for me."

I'm still researching the effects of Sb17, the college anti-diversity law that closed resource centers for LGBTQ+ people (among others) at Texas public universities. Get in touch with me if you were affected by these closures.

Its wild how the TikTok algorithm changes reveal to Western people how heavy Western censorship and propaganda really is. Access to continuous Israeli war crimes in Palestine, "law enforcement" abuses, global Western imperialism - all gone or deprioritized by the billionaire oligarchs. And this:

275/675 only 7 days left to hit goal

this is probably widely known but in case someone doesn't (because it is so helpful) - Clip Studio Paint has a Sub View window where you can load ref. I like using it because I can flip through it quickly and also eyedropper colors for characters

Added a few more games and finished up entries for a bunch more on my big spreadsheet of Cool Free PC Games. Considering that some are multi-game entries, that's over 350+ things to play, many of which are full, retail-worthy times. If you've got any kind of PC, videogames are just kinda great.

business ppl are stupid frfr b/c why, when you're positioned to be The Only God Damn Company to produce ram for consumers, do you pull *out* of the vacuum that was graciously placed before you to chase an extremely competitive business sector? you prob not gonna get that bag AND you lost customers.

no one taught him how chess works :(

Trans healthcare is becoming less accessible. It’s clear I’m running out of time to get my surgery and need all the help I can get. Plz consider donating and sharing this 🏳️‍⚧️💕🏳️‍⚧️

Want to signal boost Beronda's promotion of her book here because she's right that her book is exactly about this question of what America was and is and to whom It is a needed rejoinder to those who would have us believe nationalist propaganda rather than the truth

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Hey if you have a problem with the White House sharing A.I. generated photos of their political enemies great reminder to not also do that

While we are fully funded--which is INCREDIBLE THANK YOU SO MUCH--any additional funds now aren't just running up the score, it will go to the creative team and our publisher and get everyone more pay!

Please donate! This is personally important to me ❤️

There is going to come a time in your life when you are chatting with a guy, at a barbecue or something, a new coworker maybe, a dad at school drop off, and he tells you he used to be in ICE. You’re going to need to spit on that guy

One of the reasons I am so insistent that everyone remember that only 22% of the US population voted for Trump is that the Christian Nationalists want the myth of a mandate in circulation. We need to reject it. They never had a mandate, and their coalition is shrinking.

REMEMBER GENERAL STRIKE 1/23/26 in Minnesota If you are in Minnesota, or passing through. DON'T CROSS THE PICKET. Don't Shop, Don't Buy anything, Don't work. #GeneralStrike #Protest #Minnesota Art by @kanna-banana.bsky.social

A buddy suggested a magical girl character that's also a catgirl, but like a feral street cat with a crowbar and stompy boots so I had to draw that:

Important to know that Armstrong is a reverend and that she and the protesters felt compelled by faith as well their commitment to civil rights. This is the state choosing which Christians they will support and which part of the 1A they will defend. Christian nationalism in action.

attention texans: are you a lawyer, do you know lawyers willing to file pro bono habeas petitions for Minnesotans that have been sent here? please reach out via DM (and not just with links to already swamped nonprofits though)

i finally saw a couple of eps of new king of the hill, and I think having Dale be the newsmax qanon weirdo is a throw. frfr I think Dale would call obvious bs on a lot of that stuff, but then also propose some other more bananas theory that's not couched in that particular brand of nonsense lmao.

Donald Trump has used the presidency to make himself more than $1.4 billion, so far.

this is always my biggest concern. ppl be like "fuck everyone from the united states for this shit!" and I'm just sitting here feeling like a third class citizen because I embody two very particular slurs lmfao. like bitch, I know ppl be deflecting but *surely* you understand I'm NOT like them lol.

english is funny because you can have the same intentions when saying "I fucking love neko-arc!" and "I love fucking neko-arc!" but, depending on who you're talking to, have it be received in two very different ways lmfao.
