Meanwhile Im just some lady named fucking MARGE and keep ending up being loved by ethereal empresses somehow. I don’t know what’s going on. I enjoy it though.

Both of these are good examples of "I still kind of like engaging with this material but I need a grown up version of this now" which is like, niche but I think I'd like more of it. I think the cozification and defanging of media is a dangerous, dangerous thing, and we deserve stories with teeth.

Criticizing the enlightened centrist isn’t kicking them out of the so-called tent, it is presenting them with an opportunity to stop eroding the integrity of the tent by tirelessly trying to find commonality with people who want to burn the tent down.

It's so awesome how Persephone is a cis woman in a polycule with the god of transgender and a god with neopronouns and she's still the most transgender of the three

There’s this unspoken demand in trans culture that Black trans women should smile, perform gratitude, and project a kind of saintly resilience just to be tolerated like our presence is conditional, like we have to earn it by being digestible.

Some of my most anticipated books for the remainder of this year, and early next year. Featuring @trishusband.itch.io @mzakharuk.bsky.social @tinylesbianrobot.itch.io @jemma.bsky.social @ciricegray.itch.io and @taliabhatt.itch.io. #lesfic #sapphicbooks

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract. This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers! NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

It really sucks

imagine a world where politicians said stuff like this about trans health care, too. coz they totally could, from a science perspective

BOOOOO

Just pointing out that you CAN watch an animated show written by a trans woman: it's Wataoshi.

I have become more sympathetic to the idea that saying you can’t hold Trump voters morally culpable for Trump regime actions is patronizing. It partakes of an old and to my mind destructive left wing habit: to think of conservative white voters as not quite adults.

No, people aren’t whining about the kids not being horny enough. That’s a malicious misrepresentation and you know it. People are whining about the kids echoing socially conservative and toxic views on depictions of sexuality in media, because the ability to publicly discuss sexuality is crucial.

"Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for armed intervention in Palestine, emphasizing the need to build an international army to “liberate Palestine” and stand up to “tyranny and totalitarianism” propagated by the United States and NATO."

Do we put footfucking into PE

Ahem

wikipedia pages that explain common, well-known concepts are comedy gold and should be used proactively

I write cute, fluffy characters enduring—sometimes doing—awful things that also manage to find moments of cozy-comfort in the middle of it all. It's the only place comfort feels genuine to me, maybe my comically abusive childhood is the reason for that, but I just can't feel it without that edge.

What about men? They shout when the world is run by men and the majority of stories are by men and about men. I don't care, I don't wanna deal with them. I am a man hating lesbian and proud. I hate men as they exist, as they are created by the systems that oppress everyone. I center women always.

nothing annoys me more than americans with power calling fascism "communism" with their whole fuckin chest COMMUNISM IS THE FURTHEST THING FROM FASCISM. LITERALLY DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED I understand that your public education system is one of the worst in the world but jesus fucking christ

Protect ya neck

wolves are simply the most lesbian animal.

This looks fucking raw!

One million Disney+ subscriptions to protect the human rights of a rich white man. How many people will cancel their HBO subscriptions once Harry Potter is released in order to protect the human rights of trans people everywhere?

Can't understand people that spend all of their time shadowboxing lesbian literature as if it's the very cause of your oppression when you could read literally anything else

"freedom to incite hate crimes" is the conservative idea of "free speech"

Ive often felt like a butch twimbo (not quite a himbo level of convincingly hypermasc but more rough than a twink)

Hey yall. Money is kinda tight right now and will probably continue to be tight, so I’d appreciate any help you can give. I don’t feel super great asking for money like this, but i dont really have much of a choice. Will probably be raising the goal soon

I'm largely unconvinced that there's some massive glut of sex in movies and TV that the Youth Loathe. I think that the "youth dislike sex scenes" is artificial and not really based on how much sexual content is actually present in major media in the current era. It feels reactionary.

We really can’t have shit to ourselves

i challenge you to find cooler news today than “despite all odds against American scientific research rn, a CO researcher developed a temperature-stable, single dose rabies vaccine that works bc of particles coated in CANDY & SAPPHIRE, & it could help reduce rabies deaths in places w/o electricity”

LRP someone smarter than me has probably had more coherent thoughts about how a desire for representation in media turned into "this is a one for one depiction of me as an individual" to the detriment of art literacy and understanding

Same. The fact that the statement "trans men can be lesbians" is less controversial than "trans women can be lesbians" pisses me off so much.

Genuinely wonder how K-Hive types will grapple with Harris herself openly saying that being associated with her rabidly pro Israel boss and his rabidly pro Israel political impulses was a net negative.

We can't censor our way out of rape culture. We can't jail all the rapists and separate the "good" porn from the "bad" porn. We live under patriarchy. The rapists are the ones in power and the tools they use are tools designed to protect and empower them.

Can't believe muffin top is supposed to be a pejorative. You're implying something very sweet and delicious

And you can’t convince me otherwise

There's nothing stopping secondary world fantasy writers from putting 'a team of retired 60-something assassins are marked for death on the eve of their retirement' or 'two married serial killers must kill one last time' in fantasy settings, but for some reason most of them are only interested in--

Reading it now and uhh yeah this shit is searing us!

instead of getting mad at individual creatives who are trying to survive perhaps you could consider getting mad at bluesky for making it unsafe for them to appropriately tag things and the payment processors they're surely pre-kowtowing to instead. you know, the actual problems here yellat.money

As much as I'm glad Kimmel still has his job, my blood boils even more now. Y'all wouldn't do this for trans women journalists who lost jobs for coming out or were never hired. Nor for black women journalists when they were fired. Not even just not playing a mid-at-best wizard game.
