They know this shutdown is gonna be bad and they want to drown out any idea that it may be Trumps fault because they know Jeffries and Schumer won’t use their words and make a stand

"it's not like new owners can make it WORSE" I say somewhere, an evil genie overhears, and smiles

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Firing everyone and only staffing people to feed prompts to an AI might be profitable in the short term, but whoever scoops up all the talent and makes high quality shit is gonna have the last laugh. Quality is always ageless.

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

If its taken you this long to get the guy who says antisemitism doesnt exist and spends most of his time harassing trans people is a nazi im afraid you need to do some serious self examination.

"what if i proved all of my critics right, cemented my place in history as a proud member of the bargain bin hitler youth, and turned a professor into an ideological martyr on the right side of history, all in support of a genocidal project on the brink of losing all legitimacy? yes i am very smart"

this is a student who should be suspended or expelled for poor conduct, at the very least failed for not doing the work. there is no story here, except that a stuck up dweeb disliked a class so much that he elevated its message from like 30 people to millions. great job kid. fantastic work.

instructive, really. that's what you get when you try to make nice with rowling & her ilk. they see it as weakness and take the opportunity to attack you

as an author of a book on reparations I am intimately familiar with the move people make from "the thing you want isn't politically viable right now" to "you shouldn't want it, talk about wanting it, or even think about it" but it never stops being weird to me

“there’s no real difference between an acetaminophen scaremonger like RFK Jr. and an anti-trans obsessive like J.K. Rowling. Neither are doctors, both have been poisoned by a steady stream of online propaganda and disinformation” When science is thrown out the window, everyone suffers.

You cannot have a functioning classroom under these conditions. As I've said before, classroom surveillance has been a much bigger and more damaging change to campus than wokeness.

i’ve gotten so many compliments on coordinating my KN95s with my fits you can do it too! and the best part about it is you protect yourself AND you make it safer for others around you if everyone did this more of our immunocompromised friends could participate too it’s what starfleet would do 🖖

Ahhh the annual misinformation pops up again. This is blatantly untrue. The Inktober *LOGO* is trademarked. Use of Inktober as a term or hashtag is literally fine. It’s the logo that isn’t. There’s 0 truth to the claim he thinks he owns your art.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

Absolutely beyond parody that Dave Chappelle is headlining a comedy show for Saudi royalty after what, a decade of whining about cancel culture

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

TOMORROW! I will be reposting with the event link (technical juggling, we're on it) but we're raising money to help @ahmadmaysra22.bsky.social 's family in Gaza. Please tune in to help out and join the chat!

A message from my dear friend Tasneem in Gaza, whose son was just injured: "The car that ran over my child Hassan sped away. There is no safety in all of Gaza. I want to get out by any means. I am very tired." Please give to Tasneem so she can escape Gaza, and to others. ❤️🙏 tinyurl.com/Tasneemo

Do not tread on another person's hope. It is the least we can do as human beings.

I really underestimated how much peoples' desire to consume would outweigh the actual well-being of children.

Being a csa survivor makes dealing with a lot of discourse around this so frustrating. People truly do not get how often trans women are assaulted as kids, usually because of our transfemininity even before coming out, so while constantly wrongly accused for what we are, we're also ignored victims.

Context if you look at the thread is that a mass number of the people constantly screaming about how dangerous and pedophilic trans women are, often themselves are molesting children and women, including trans people from those groups. Its almost like those who hate us are the actual abusers...

Trans women unfortunately end up extremely ignored canaries in the coal mine far far too often.

This is tragic and awful and as perfect an illustration of [gestures at our modern world] as you could ever need.

CA people call your reps and the governors office and put pressure on Newsome to sign these AI bills

Malakota, the people slaughtered by the US Army at Wounded Knee are my ancestors. We're still here Listen to Indigenous people Protect and arm Indigenous people Land back Death to America

Begging sony to do the smart thing and make this. They should have learned after KPDH that they dont know what audiences want especially with animation and trust the skilled artists.

I really wish more Liberal (and I mean Liberal, centre and left-of-centre, not leftists) understood their power and focused it more effectively. Instead of "CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY?" every single time Trump pulls a Trump, FOCUS ON THE EPSTEIN FILES. Stop feeding into Trump's distraction game.

Alright I didn’t check bluesky till this evening. Re: Frankie, I feel like my answer to a question was wildly misinterpreted. I think seeing her as trans is awesome, I see the connection when ppl talk about it, and I have also never in my career been against hcs, why would I start now?

(listen racism was almost CERTAINLY also a factor in this case but the point is: even if he HAD been psychotic, even if he had been some unhoused guy who thought he was member of famous 60s group the four tops but was actually just Joe? *they still didn't test his heart*)

boycotts work. anyone who says otherwise is spreading pro corporate, pro government propaganda

Animation is so painful right now. Finding work is so hard. My wife who has survived both the WB mergers now has the looming specter of another sale or merger. Its so stressful, things have been so precarious for so long. And we’re in better shape than most. AND the fascist drum beat everyday.

Canada Post is uniquely positioned to be the vector for both high speed rail, and taking couriered delivery service out of the hands of companies like Amazon. But instead the capitalist cowards in charge are cutting it and screwing us all.

All my best to this FEMA employee, and may they succeed in their mission:

Studios are protecting their investments. They fully understand the risks and are taking measures to mitigate them. Do you think you and yours aren't good enough for the same thing?

For reference this is about half what AOL paid me for writing about World of Warcraft in 2009 and we could write pretty much anything as long as it was fresh or relevant for the audience

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Thinking about how one white guy getting fired made a bunch of people stop giving Disney money but years of a sustained genocidal campaign couldnt get cis people(including ime a lot of leftists) to stop supporting Harry Potter or years of Disney supporting Israel's genocide to stop supporting Disney

listen I may get blocked for this but: you don't actually get to hate kids and be an okay person. you can not like being around them. you can avoid interaction. you can feel uncomfortable. but if you HATE kids: sorry dude you fucking suck as a person
