this cultural shift happening where the tightly-knit nature of yuri/GL is very quickly internationalizing and building overseas links that were unprecedented before

between inee and the love bullet campaign, battan mentioning that yuri support overseas is super high, and now sugar. (otagal creator) discovering the english fantl and and she's now w/ permission posting the eng tl to her official acct, there's

When a promotion for an autograph signing accidently looks like a dream match.

Sci fi and cyberpunk authors may not have been great at predicting the advancement part of tech, but they've been fucking spot on for reading rich assholes and power structures so many times.

I want to show my girlfriend farscape but it's so fucking long but I'm so fond of it but I want to enjoy new things

Fuck I was supposed to connect someone with cool ttrpg designing ppl but I forgot whomst, shit

How do you turn trauma into art instead of just screaming into a microphone in a bucket and putting effects on it until the sound generated makes you feel physically ill?

The duality of some of the coolest most comfy and welcoming and transfem supportive people being NB and trans masc, and some of the most transmisogynistic also... Ugh... It's just like when other trans people are transmisogynistic it's like getting stabbed in the back, ya know? Idk.

The perfect example of how good Israel has had it for seven decades is that its version of the state backed KKK can hold an American member of Congress at gunpoint with guns made by Americans and that Congressman will still go home and say they don't want to be too mean to Israel.

It really is quite funny how the people who insisted for years that leftists needed to be pragmatic and meet voters where they are have planted their flag in support of Israel and data centers, two of the most unpopular stances in the country

NEVER FORGET the debt we all owe to the Miccosukee Tribe, without whom it would still be open. And never forget that Indigenous sovereignty and all our safety and flourishing are forever intertwined.

I really want to convince my girlfriend to stream a game with me sometime (no cameras) because she's legit really funny. Like, if she were a streamer I'd watch her regularly.

I need to bring back my angel sona and then draw her getting railed by the scruggliest gremlin girls.

low info voters are constantly being convinced that Republicans have more moderate policies (and Democrats more left wing policies) than they actually do and the mainstream media is a huge accomplice in this effort.

Regarding the last repost: It's the queer and POC ppl I know who don't have jobs and the more cishet white assimilationable people who do.

some real "the games industry is not a meritocracy and never was" feelings about the last couple of days in terms of who is still being paid to make games and write articles vs. the ppl i know who have been out of a job for almost half a decade

Long walk after running errands and listening to interview with a vampire audiobook ☺️

bitch I can’t fucking go piss in five states because of you, I don’t want to hear about encroachments on personal life

This is more interesting with the context that one of the architects of project 2025 wrote his thesis on how black Americans found stability and survival thanks to extended families and access to third spaces, then he proceeded to try to destroy both.

The reason young people vibe with liminal horror is that the wealthy have spent the last half century destroying all anthropological spaces they can exist in, leaving *only* non-places en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-place

Sony buying the anime industry and then immediately trying to kill physical media is insane to me. Anime only exists because of DVD and blu-ray sales. They are throwing a horse in the ocean and telling it to evolve into a whale

I had to go to the account and select the last post to view the entire 🧵 up. Very strange.

Omg you're right it still isn't working lmao Seems like the only way to read it is to go to @transnews.network and scroll down to the repost of the opening post then read it by scrolling up, they reposted every post of the thread

Also: @transnews.network shared each post in the thread so might be worth seeing if it shows up there.

Last week, Amnesty Intl published a report connecting anti-trans orgs in the UK to a wider anti-rights movement. A few days later, they took it down after some of those hate groups pushed back calling it a smear. From @transnews.network, here's a 🧵of what exactly TERFs don't want you to know.

Grassroots resistance happens everywhere—especially when trans people are involved. The full report “A growing threat” was archived and remains available. The global fight against oppression continues, even in the smallest of ways.

in my experience, it's almost impossible to make good art about the bad times when you're in them. it's only after they're over that you can see them for what they were enough to accurately mark their shape. the good art of now is actually of past bad times survived. drowning artists can't paint.

people get silly about big numbers but they should be used together like my state has an income of $2 billion a week or there abouts choosing a random trans woman each day to give a million dollars to is the same as me giving the loose (ie less than a dollar) change in my pocket to someone 🤷‍♀️

Outfit of the day.

oh, if only the rumors were true and bad times truly did lead to good art

Oh dang, I actually am amazingly hot.

Tomorrow, the Senate will have a cloture vote on Matthew Schwartz to be a Circuit Judge for the 2nd Circuit. Alliance for Justice notes that Schwartz is one of Trump's personal attorneys. He also wrote a brief defending the criminalization of being unhoused and is an anti-LGBTQIA+ bigot.

This section would amend Sec 543 of the NDAA of 1994 (which established gender-neutral occupational performance standards to increase opportunities for women) so that all instances of the word 'gender' are replaced with the word 'sex.' Simply put, this makes it another anti-trans bill.

The cloture vote for S 4784 just began. It is a defense appropriations bill that is very similar to the House's version of bill but with the addition of the anti-trans section detailed below.

it's always funny how, for ages, these same chuds always valued art based on labour involved, ie if someone taped a banana to a wall or just painted a large canvas red, it was "lazy" and "anyone can just do that" and now that AI lets them larp as creators it's "none of that matters, only intention"

Who the fuck going to NYC and expecting to be able to park anyway? That's a fool's dream.

Is Taco Bell growing their own lettuce? No. They get their lettuce from companies like Taylor Farms (that has 1/3 of the market *including hospitals*). This is deflection on the part of the federal government, which specifically cut funding for food safety screening/testing.

These people are self serving abusive liars who will betray you, blame you for it, and not even for a moment consider their own part in it. Not even their aspiration for redemption, if it is ever true, can be trusted for even a moment, not without actual deeds, actions driven by remorse.

These last ten years have really poisoned my heart. I've felt it too, felt the hate well up inside me, felt how much more judgemental and angry my inner voice is. Ive talked about this before but I went like 10 years not speaking with my dad at all, and then in the years prior to 2024 that changed 🧵

a thing i've been on a lot over the years is many of the old thoughts and strategies on what could move, pressure, change elected officials are kind of out the window because they do not even respond to attempts on their lives with energy more intense than "damn, that was weird"

This is such a harrowing piece, beautiful in its honesty. Highly recommended.

every hospital that's still illegally denying trans kids healthcare needs to be sued now, by every Democratic AG and trans rights legal org. it's unacceptable at this point to still be cowering to fear of nonexistent laws.
