Your daily reminder that weight/size is not an indicator of health And also being quote-unquote “healthy” (whatever that means) is not an indicator of character or worth. And ALSO that anything to the contrary is simply ableist as fuck 🥰

Hold strong my friends. They can raise hell and drag us through the fire but we will endure. One by one they will die with their sad rotten souls unfulfilled while we, though burned, will dance and sing and fuck on their graves with full and righteous hearts.

I wonder if Labour have really thought through the implications of creating multiple desperate, persecuted underclasses whilst making it clear the courts will not provide justice and there is no peaceful route to change they will accept.

It's true that the Tories stuffed NHS institutions with transphobes, but not removing (or sidelining) them was 100% a Labour decision. This latest surge in transphobia (including the Supreme Court decision, which they could have overturned but didn't) is 100% Labour policy and 100% Labour's fault.

Happy birthday Douglas Adams (RIP) I wrote a little appreciation of a single Adams gag, way back when, for Vulture's "100 Jokes That Shaped Modern Comedy" feature: archive.is/AfocB

Handy tip for cis folk, we aren't an idea, like freedom or liberty, we are actual flesh and blood people. So if you're going to write a thread about us, make sure you get a trans friend to read it first, and if you don't have a trans friend, ask yourself why the fuck not and stop writing about us

It is a beautiful day here and the birds are merrily chirping - which is a true salve for the soul right now!

Every time we get a wave of "oohhh no you're not allowed to be a weird little freak actually" it makes me want to be a weird little freak all the more

Remember this prehistoric dildo/porn illustration that you guys all went nuts over a couple weeks ago? It was written by @funkittoys.bsky.social, the same @funkittoys.bsky.social who is having a $69.69 dildo sale today to celebrate his birthday on this, the 69th day of the year!

For me it will always be Super Mario World, closely followed by Double Dash and an honourable mention for the first Mario Maker.

Fuckin dream match!

Most accurate portrait of modern culture currently available

Wishing everyone declaring that military installations near civilian buildings justify blowing up massively urban areas a very good "googling your nearest building owned by the armed forces in your city".

After discussions about poor behavior by DICE attendees last month, I thought I'd bring these out again at GDC dawns. AND DUDES... PLEASE CALL OUT YOUR FELLOW DUDES IF YOU SEE BAD BEHAVIOR. Rock that boat!

Daily reminder that there is still an active BDS boycott against Microsoft for its active collaboration with Israel. Don't talk about Microsoft games. Don't give Microsoft-owned studios your money. That includes Activision-Blizzard (COD and Overwatch), ID Software (Doom), and many, many more.

Electronic music is a genre that was started and shaped by women, so on International Women's Day, here are some Bandcamp recommendations for women making some of the best electronic music you can get today. 🧵

i hate this stupid fucking system more than anything in the world. a system that benefits nobody, actively harms everybody, could be changed at literally any point in time, YET WE STILL KEEP DOING THIS MADNESS ANYWAY. YEAR AFTER YEAR WE DO THIS STUPID SONG AND DANCE FOR NO GOD DAMN REASON

nothing in this entire world makes me love my body quite like dancing

Your brain and data may be in the internet, a world that is both everywhere and nowhere. But your ass is still firmly planted in the jurisdiction of somebody's courts. And police. Proton is correct. The odds of you finding a company that won't comply with its local police are basically zero.

okay but this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a few days

I'm back streaming after a 2 week break to heal a scalded hand! Finally time to finish disc one? Can we save Aerith? www.twitch.tv/thunder_ruth

My big project: The Death Generator. It's a tool for making fake video game screenshots, just fill in new text and it'll give you a (generally) pixel-accurate image back, the correct fonts and everything. deathgenerator.com

This is such a shame because the arcade original was such a joy to play. Highly recommend emulating it if you can.

this cures what ails me every time

Just remembered the time a Victorian wrote a scifi book that accidentally ended up inspiring: nazi occult madness, much of pseudo archaeology, the adventure story, the Silurians from Doctor Who, changes in Sri Lankan Buddhism, the scifi convention, Theosophy, Galadriel in Lord of the Rings and more.

If you’re trans and also wish you were doing more, please remember: you can’t help anyone else unless you help yourself first. And if you feel all you’re doing is surviving then that alone is a radical act of defiance in a world that is mostly designed to prevent you from doing so. You are enough.

if darby allin has no one saying “fuck darby allin” that means im dead

a 30 minute walk can fix nearly every problem i have and i also never want to do it

Wade Keller interviewed Cactus Jack in 1990 and they don't do journalism like this anymore:

Brian Pillman shows up in ECW, Hulk Hogan's big secret weapon is a new name for Brutus Beefcake, Ring Master shaves his head, Shawn Michaels faces Shinobi, Ice Train and Scott Norton can't beat each other, and more!

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

You can't make a living from revolutionary work. You might be able to make a living doing something which doesn't suck. If you're very lucky you might be able to do more good than harm through a job. But revolutionary work? That shit will always have to be for free.

Expanding this point because I am irritated this afternoon apparently. Lets talk about self-censorship and why YouTube, Twitch, TikTok and other platforms like that inherently neutralise radical messaging.

Nothing more beautiful than these gay vintage t-shirts

Cis people, read this. It’s easy to go ‘oh how sad that a tiny minority is being treated this way’. But the 2025 GP Patient Survey results suggest this is approximately 500,000 people being relentlessly and deliberately crushed by the Labour Party. Half a million people whose lives don’t matter.

I know the prevailing opinion is just "trans people are weird" and we don't want to talk about them, but the degree of dehumanization is really staggering and demands attention. If you can permit this treatment for one group of people, you signal you can permit this of any group. You must say no.

If you can spare anything to help them reach their goal please donate. Even just a quid or two, it all adds up.

a trans woman i know is being deported back to the USA due to the Home Office messing up paperwork. her wife is desperately trying to raise the funds to prevent this. they have 48 hours before she’s put on a plane and might never be able to return. please, help if you can. they’re both terrified.

The people with money pushing AI are not "in technology fields" in the same way that Donald Trump isn't in the architecture or construction field. They have however seen an opportunity to reshape major economies in their own interests through funnelling VC, govt grants etc, into this hype train.

SO GOOD! "the idea that my political ideology is synonymous with hating technology is confusing. Every leftist I know has a hard-on for high speed rail or mRNA vaccines. But the “left is missing out” blog positions generative AI as the only technology that matters." -- @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

I think we should be doing as much talking about the economic destabilization that Epstein & Co. were doing as we are about the child sex trafficking. Because, those men plotted a new world order of racial and economic exploitation and then raped children as a treat

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast? The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

every time someone’s like “why can’t we have a nuanced discussion about trans issues” i want to scream “MANY OF US ARE ALREADY NAVIGATING OUTRAGEOUSLY DEGRADING ‘NUANCED DISCUSSIONS’ WITH LOVED ONES ABOUT WHETHER WE’RE FULL PEOPLE WHO CHANGED OR THE WALKING UNDEAD.” just let us piss & play soccer!

Prince Andrew being arrested for giving away state secrets but not arrested for being a pedophile should tell you everything you need to know about Britain.
