Disney adults canceling subscriptions, vacations, etc really are making the Harry Potter adults that threw a fit over a $60 video game look like huge bitches

Finished Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social and my goodness, what a fascinating and prescient examination of AI & automation. Such a funny - but simultaneously insightful - book. The protagonist is such a perfect choice for the role, and yet wholly unsuited to it. Cannot recommend enough!

It’s Saturday. Post a cartoon TV series you love. I *still* scream this theme song at my husband occasionally like a 90s weeb velociraptor

So tonight is the last session of a ttrpg campaign I joined a year ago. It's a homebrew system of vtm & cyberpunk, and it was my first game with this group of people, with whom I've grown incredibly close. I'm so happy to have been in a campaign from start to finish...

Yes, this. You aren’t changing minds, you are merely participating in engagement farming which benefits them more than it does you. It also sends an unfortunate message that their ideas are worth treating with *respect* and therefore socially *acceptable*. It suggests they offer a *legitimate* pov.

This entire thread is worth a read. Western comics (especially mainstream superhero comics) desperately need to diversify the pool of creators; the genres; and the audiences they reach.

For real, if you've ever been considering reviewing / interviewing / etc. someone but stopped yourself because the book was released months ago... do it! We love getting coverage after pub day.

Jesus christ. I am so tired and so disappointed. All these people went "yeah, I'll take an audio book paycheck over solidarity with trans lives, that's cool." Every single one should be ashamed.

...okay fine I will buy ONE action figure

Tapping this sign at myself in the mirror today

Went to see The Conjuring: Last Rites tonight. Thoroughly enjoyed it; would recommend. Also had to channel my inner Karen and tell 2 young folk to shut up because they were talking, throwing stuff, and watching Tik Tok videos. One of them told me to shut up and laughed in my face.

not going to blow up a small account but a tgirl just called me talking about dilation gross bc it triggered her dysphoria and i don’t mean to be a bitch but that’s not my job to manage. i think every trans woman has felt dysphoric over their perceptions of others’ transitions at some point but

Holy shit, a fifth season ttrpg?! Amazing!!!!!

and another one I still like

Okay, Angela's gameplay & character design in Marvel Rivals? Exquisite. This is what I want from video game characters.

again remembering all the criticisms of "woke capitalism" and the hypocritical excesses of hollow corporate diversity and wondering if we were all on the same page about what would replace them when they were gone

It's sad that most current (or even former) writers won't be able to call this out publicly without jeopardising their livelihood. As such, us fans have got to shout as loudly as possible about this cause honestly fuck using Gen AI in creative industries.

About to start Morrison's Doom Patrol run. Very excited to explore this team through Morrison's (and then Pollack's) lenses!

All of these are perfect (but the Infinity Gauntlet and Wolverine tributes are the most perfect) www.marvel.com/articles/com...

I can’t imagine a better way to put this. Support and protect the weirdest members of your community, both because caring for others is a personal strength, but also because having empathy for and protecting others even if you don’t understand them is the bedrock of community.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

Tonight was the finale of Drag Race France All Stars S1. If you haven't been watching, it's easily been one of the best seasons of drag race ever, imo. Maybe the best? Impeccable drag from start to finish. 10/10

“This is the nastiest skank bitch I’ve ever met. Do not trust her”

If a human said this, most legal systems would find them culpable to at least some extent. I can't wait to see the significant ramifications OpenAI will face for this. Right?

Getting into the Digimon TCG was not on my bucket list for 2025 but @danredican.bsky.social & I played a game last night and it was surprisingly fun! ...even though he beat me 😭

Cats really just give zero fucks about their posture

need people to understand that the idea that “regular people” can’t understand trans people is inherently transphobic framing. #1: we are regular people. demographically, we are less wealthy than cis people on the whole because of employment discrimination, housing discrimination, and the wage gap

Only 2 chapters into Service Model but I'm already very excited about Charles (the protagonist). Once again it seems like @aptshadow.bsky.social is gonna knock it out the park! 💙📚🪐

this is an admittedly U.S.-centric statement i'm about to make but i honest to god think a lot of people can't actually read rules text well enough to make sense of it

THIS! Calling me a 'biological male' is a crock of shit, and I *detest* how normalised this has become in British culture.

This is how I *know* we're living in a simulation. They've just stopped running patches and bug fixes. Our 4D overlords have gotten lazy 😭

The extra shitty thing about Gavin Newsom is that he pretty clearly doesn't even believe the anti-trans stuff he spouts. He's parroting genocidal talking points to pander to bigots; and somehow that feels even worse than if he were a true believer.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

In her brief appearances we find she is the lover of Ky’lun and as they try to overthrow Necrom, she is killed. She was eventually laid to rest at Earth-616’s Braddock Manor by Ky’lun. Suit: #cyanmandesigns x #herostime Accessories: @elborgers.bsky.social 📸: @erikwphotography.bsky.social

If Bloodlines 2 succeeds it tells the industry that exploitative monetization like locking core clans behind day-1 DLC is acceptable. But if it fails the takeaway won't be that those practices caused the failure, but that Vampire: The Masquerade simply isn't a viable franchise,

And he's lying by the way. Gavin Newsom gave a toast at Gigi Gorgeous' and Nats Getty's wedding. Gigi Gorgeous is a trans woman influencer. Nats Getty, who is Gavin's godchild, came out as nonbinary and then a trans man. Gavin understands the issue, he's being cynical and calculating.

The cruelty of the fight against trans people is hard to fathom. I can’t imagine the pain it’s causing them and it’s making all of us uglier, crueler and meaner. It’s a real lose lose proposition.

This means that roughly 0.8% of the US population is trans. The current pop. of England and Wales is roughly 68 million and the number of trans people in the 2021 census was ~250,000. That's 0.4% of the population. How is it possible that the UK* has half the proportional population of trans folk?
