It is clear that many cis people are not aware just how up to her neck Rowling is in funding and driving anti trans sentiment in the UK. She's not just a person with a vile opinion.

they sure were enamored with monkeys and chimpanzees in classic rom-coms. they’ll be falling in love and the dude will be like hey babe I got you a chimp to remind you of me

Any and all scientists and engineers that built the running robot: I curse you. May the bread you eat taste as ashes in your mouths

I’m guessing some retro game enthusiasts simply don’t know that SNK/Neo Geo is now owned by Saudi Arabia, largely because that was Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud’s favorite console growing up. You can literally read it in biographies of the dude. 1/

1. In a landmark ruling, the Montana Supreme Court has declared that the constitution, one of the most progressive in the nation, entirely protects transgender people. The ruling is even insulated from SCOTUS decisions, due to how state constitutions work. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I actually got some work done. Bluesky should just shut down all the time

was enjoying watching some old Fred Astaire movies until suddenly I VERY MUCH wasn't enjoying them. if you're familiar with his catalog, then you already know what I ran into. WTF

a real mom game is a live service model but we aren’t ready for that conversation

fine

I’m so late to watching Ginger Rogers movies, and it’s embarrassing, because she really is downright delightful and has considerable range

MEN WHAT'S STOPPING YOU

I’d heard Johnny Mnemonic was bad, so I never got around to watching it. But I’m finally watching it tonight and … it’s kinda a lotta fun?

Hell, go download the fan patch for Racing Lagoon on PS1, or that Road Trip game on PS2 that was a Choro Q game with the brand removed. Lots of options for your Open World CarPG fix that don't involve giving money to a company actively aiding a more than singular amount of genocide and war crimes

The embargo for the Forza Horizon 6 preview drops today. Please consider standing in solidarity with @nogamesforgenocide.com and not signalling to Xbox (and largely Microsoft) that they can count on your money. There's no right/wrong way to protest, but you can pledge your support 🎮

somedays I can *almost* forget I have a life altering pain condition, and other days it really just slams against me hard. i suppose it’s nice to have made enough progress where I can say there are days I almost forget and feel gratitude for those

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

girl, same

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

I’m Saoirse Stone, and I’m a trans teacher and writer who is trying to escape Florida for a safer state! gofund.me/7fe9b3944

no matter how many times I play metroid prime, I am always going to drown in that poison swamp trying to find that fourth goddam relic to scan

is there a pinnable feed where people post game stuff kinda like filmsky? feel like that’s one of the main things missing from my bluesky experience. that and the old the old school “weird twitter” joke club.

a good thread but I want to add: literally all of every sport favors people with genetic advantages but no one complains when cis men have them Michael Phelps’ muscles produce HALF the lactic acid as an average cis man, meaning he can go twice as long before tiring is that unfair? nobody cared

this little guy is such a brat

This policy is ignorant, misogynistic, hateful, and aligns with America’s genocidal campaign against trans people. Fuck everything about this. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

“I love video games. They help me relax.” *Plays most stressful games ever created.*

"A new study out of Cornell Universit found workers most excited and impressed by corporate speak may be the least equipped to make effective, practical business decisions, and it can leave companies with dysfunctional leaders."

watching some popular fan edits of the star wars prequels that cuts back on jar jar binks, but leaves plenty of the Asian and Jewish stereotypes intact. gotta keep those “i love money” jokes in there.

let’s be real: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World could be cut down to two hours and two Mads

my t-shirt drawer has an upper layer of the shirts I actually wear each week, below which rests an unknowable substrata of shirts I never wear.

Here is someone running as a write-in to defeat Susan Collins in Maine and maybe people would find her as worth looking into as they find Graham Platner not worth looking into

this whole week has been fucked. I’ve stayed up around the clock taking care of three sick cats. was at the emergency vet for six hours today. in some ways it’s nice to have little pals I care about this much, but just emotionally exhausted right now

Hello and welcome to my unboxing video

up late with no sleep worried about my cat’s health. he’s my little bro and he’s such a sweet prince. you’ll know he’s doing well again when I’m back to posting about what a brat he is later

this has been the most stressful medical week with my cats. all three of them have been emptying my tank.

This is my son. He has every disease.

looks like I’m resubbing to Criterion for April … this is the coolest thing since the channel highlighted Ester Krumbachová and the Czech New Wave.

my cats who love each other dearly used to fight if I brought one back from the vet. it was so sad! so I had the genius idea today of taking them both to the vet at the same time today. they’re both fighting anyway now that we’re home. 🤷‍♂️

BONUS EPISODE! We got together with @zakwojnar.bsky.social to chat about 1971's Billy Jack Video: youtu.be/JQwsMp1jhIA?... Patreon: www.patreon.com/posts/billy-... Also out on every audio place.

Happy Friday the 13th! To ensure Jason doesn’t find you, please follow my Twitch, my YouTube, and maybe order 13 copies of my book just to be on the safe side:

about 28 years ago I started reading non-fiction feminist/trans theory, fiction, interviews with trans people, etc. listening to punk music and being curious about literary fiction set me down a path of solid recommended reading lists.

in this context both of those nouns feel like slurs

such a consistently fun show to be a part of. where we talk about the incredible Catherine O’Hara and the singular Billy Jack

Alright fam, here it is Moby-Dick Rocks!!!; or, put down the AI and read a fucking book. by Chanda Prescod-Weinstein earrings by Ear Art by Ebony London

was not expecting to feel complete … despair and sadness playing Resident Evil? so that’s an accomplishment. (only halfway through so no spoilers, please 🙏)

we love the girl taking this picture

HE’S FUCKING DEAD

I've had my This Is Fine mug so long that the dog has become a ghost and all that remain are flames
