Of all the characters who if you made them trans their appeal would sky rocket Harley Quinn is no.1 because i unironically think her being a like man psychiatrist who got clown femmed by the joker is maybe top 10 funniest things that can happen. We also get Chaser joker btw is there a gas leak?

reading a queer fantasy histrom (histromantasy?) series and im enjoying it but it's bugging me that the only two trans women in it are extremely minor characters in seperate books who already did shapeshifting magic to complete their transitions

yesterday explained to my mother how i dont pick movies or books based on what i'm in the mood for but instead based upon Long Term Projects and Selection Methods that i follow extremely closely and she just went "mmhmm just like your dad"

too genre for the litheads, too lit for the genreboys, too academic for the cool kids, too low class for the academics, too angry for the soft, too soft for the hardcore, too normie for the weirdos, too weird for the normos, but above it all, just too hard to die

Soft sapphic romance will kill the patient! They need toxic yuri to live!

BABES, I HEARD YOU LIKE QUEER SFF MYSTERY NOVELLAS FROM TINY PRESSES.

welcome to my twice a year bonus #libraryhaul that is actually a regular haul because i went to a library sale! i got all of the cds and movies for 1 singular us dollar! the book on tbe bottom is not from the library book sale and instead was a preorder thay arrived around the same time

regulating how and when and in what tone and in what art and on what platforms and what feelings you're supposed to have about it when it comes to discussing sexual assault is just a tool to suppress discussion of it. It is another way to force sexual assault back into the realm of secrecy and shame

messy business (friends at the table) (bluff city) (2019)

For many marginalized people (other groups I didn't mention: sex workers! Black women! Lesbian + bi women!) sexual violence is sadly a part of life. Policies that indiscriminately remove any depiction of that violence effectively tell those people: your life is unrepresentable; your story is obscene

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

IT'S OFFICIAL: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York State, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and New York City have formed the Northeast Public Health Collaborative. The collaborative will issue their own vaccine recommendations and coordinate public health efforts.

As happens with every. Single. Pilot. Program. That ever looks at anything akin to UBI, it is cheaper to just straight up help people get to a modest financial baseline than to deal with the outcomes of not helping people in poverty. It’s not news until we deploy it at scale.

aside from our wives under the sea (queer lit book club pick for october), this is an extremely Podcasts Made Me Do It #libraryhaul

2 weeks away! {comic by @heyluchie.bsky.social}

insurers are rapacious, profit-driven companies... which means they know that if they cover the (modest) cost of a vaccine upfront, it'll save them a LOT of money in the long run, since vaccinated people will be far less likely to get sick, end up in the hospital, and rack up huge medical bills

In honor of Friends at the Table @friends-table.bsky.social's 11th anniversary tomorrow, we're announcing FatT Rewind! With the move from twitter & the loss of cohost, there's a lot of wonderful fan works lost to time. Repost your old work with #fattrewind and it'll be shared here tomorrow!

today was a good reading day. started a fantasy histrom with an nb/nb couple AND a gaslamp fantasy murder mystery with gay investigatory partners

this week's #libraryhaul! novel gazing is absent from the covers picture because it has this huge INTERLIBRARY LOAN paper band across the cover that obscures everything interesting and that I can't take off without damaging

rarely have I more acutely felt the dynamic by which Dems are held responsible for the rhetoric of every random left-leaning person on the internet and Republicans are not even asked to answer for their own personal words

report from former student yesterday that they were instantly auto-rejected from a civilian position to which they were specifically invited to apply; they were given menu in HR portal to opt-out of feeding their materials to AI, and doing so seems to have opted them out of any consideration

"Digital piracy has little to no relationship to paid sales & in fact plays a crucial role in both word-of-mouth advertising and preservation" is something everyone has known for over a decade. If you think different you are literally stupid

a lot of people are like “romantasy is bad” just as a general kind of romance (derogatory) thing but as someone who is knowledgeable about and interested in the romance genre i can tell you earnestly that on average the prose of an 80s/90s romance novel just eats the prose of new romantasy for lunch

we need to bring back metrosexuals. they were evidently a load-bearing pillar of american manhood

i am almost 40 and i literally do not have any point in my life where the right wing has not been doing moral panics about imaginary child abuse while institutionally working to enable real abuse of real children. if it's not the satanic panic it's fucking pronouns.

whats this? an all movie #library haul? thats right! I've been working my way thru the books I posted last time, but I had some room in my movie watching schedule
