hot take but it's 2025. i think we can stop playing the room in theatres. the joke died a long time ago

Miyazaki survived the bombing of Utsunomiya as a child. His family escaped in a car, but left a neighbor and her daughter behind to save themselves. Miyazaki regrets this, and said this has stayed with him and shaped his film making. He hopes his audience will learn the courage he lacked in 1945.

the thing i hate the most about this argument is that it doesn't work. it observably has not been working. capitulating on trans rights, immigrant rights, abortion, does not win elections, it loses them incredibly consistently. this is a loser mentality and always will be

this month has really been kicking my ass

Publishers keep rejecting my fantastical Louisa May Alcott reboot, Giant Women

Long live the Intif@da! #art #palestine #embroidery #trees #flower #arabic

thinking about these two today

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

Refusing to ban Singal and actions like this while maintaining the pretense of building a "more polite" social media speaks to a political goal of trying to make transphobic hate speech a socially acceptable form of interaction.

You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

my favourite kurosawa

important for us in the US to note: even a solidly right wing government can't ignore this.

Aiming for 31 horror movies for October! Started a bit late last night with 1. Halloween! The classic, a piece of filmmaking I come back to over and over again just for the craft of it.

just learning now that "waffles" is about Jəsse Singəl, so I will re-up this piece that chronicles his long history of harassing primarily trans women (+ other trans ppl & allies) online... juliaserano.blogspot.com/2017/12/my-j...

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

The only thing “powerful” about generative AI is its mythology. It's unprofitable, unsustainable, and inherently limited due to the probabilistic nature of LLMs. Now the myth has grown out of control, and NVIDIA has got desperate to keep the growth going. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

Shut it down. Shut it all fucking down. Trump has the losing hand here & he knows it, so he's trying to blame his shitty shutdown on the dolls, hoping spineless dems will sacrifice them on the altar of civility. Fuck anyone who crosses to help him. Fuck them and primary them and hassle them to Hell

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

In case you didn't know, "understand the concept of love" is a quote from a speech by Black Panther Stokely Carmichael (aka Kwame Ture) at the Free Huey Rally on Feb. 17, 1968. Read the entire speech here, it's unfortunately still relevant. www.lfks.net/en/content/s...

was applying for a restaurant job, manager apologetically telling me she's already hired for the posting then sees my resume and goes "oh you meant for kitchen!" i have montreal barista passing privilege

An Update: I received an email canceling my contract as a columnist at @startribune.com after sharing this story publicly. (I had written columns past the one-year contract already + been asked to continue on in July).
