the fash will murder a queer person and reporter after reporter and reply after reply on social media will erase the queer partner who watched that person die in front of them

they shot and killed someone literally named Good

One of my former US History students reached out to me. He's a senior in college already (somehow! WHY ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED TO AGE???) and he's a co-author! for a book about Frederick Douglass as part of his honors program. I could not be more proud.

I'm still working on that big glossary project for my site aria.dog/demons/ , hope to release it within a week

this fucking wretched body

In a strange position where I think there are massive, massive social harms to the proliferation of AI (misinfo, deepfakes, predatory 'companions', surveillance, labour rights) but also feel the mainstream arguments against it range from unconvincing (water) to actively harmful (copyright; "soul")

If you like the kinda games i post about remember to read my site. If you hate them read it too. The old web used to be full of passionate, eloquent, well-researched, uniquely designed writing about people's interests, and it's my way to bring some of this back. aria.dog/demons/

My job in the mars fully automated luxury communism commune is to look through the favs of trans girls to find the ones who goon it to problematic porn and jettison one of them every month into the void of space as a ritual offering reenacting the violence at the core of our foundational myths

A touching tribute to Mike F

nah, fuck Parker Molloy. pointing at furries and saying "look how weird these people are" then pretending that's not what you're doing and crying that you're being attacked as a trans woman (by other trans woman) is what bullies do. go on NorthSky if that's what you wanna do.

Of course "You should not be able to put this in This Here Public Online Town Square, you have no right to be like That in Public" where have I seen that "I do not consent to see you wear that"

Im dying on this hill because frankly its fucking bullshit that *this* is whats making people so fucking frothing mad about "sexism in gaming"

sorry i had to cw: slur

one for the robotfuckers

some action

the magic apocalypse that frees everyone is not coming. the pile of bones just keeps getting higher

at what point is "america is a dying empire & will collapse in on its own weight in time" just wishful thinking for a rapture event that makes people actively passive and complacent and channel away efforts from doing things. there is no sign of stopping despite everything

this place is full of fucking assholes and im probably going to interact even less than i used to

I'm going to just say that publicly announcing you are "disgusted" by this and calling it "unethical" is way the hell weirder than someone making it is.

"you should quit your job in solidarity" is one of those quintessentially american political arguments in that it focuses on pointless, performative individualism over any form of useful collective action, just like the american political system

it is 2014. i am getting screamed at on social media because i dont think women being pretty in a video game is evil. it is 2026. i am getting screamed at on social media because i dont think women being pretty in a video game is evil.

We have an entire section of trans women committed to being dogs who are also sexually abused recreationally by fascist military personnel enough that we made a sci fi subgenre that would make the Goreans blanch but modding the Animal Crossing girl to be curvy is what I have to think of as weird.

second degree murder, and specifically depraved heart murder, wherein the accused doesn't actively plan to kill a specific person or people but acts with callous disregard for human life - like firing a gun into a crowd or driving drunk - should apply to decisions made by CEOs and heads of industry

oversaturated content (2021)

like during trump's first term with violent games, we've reached a point where rwers are saying identical things to a lot of lib/left gaming people in the past, so now we're seeing sad attempts to thread the needle of 'ok well they're wrong now but I was right back then' bsky.app/profile/grin...

I do genuinely believe that the way entertainment journalists wrote opinion pieces about sexualized characters in the 2010s did have a strong impact on the waves of internet censorship today. It's not that conservative outlooks needed an excuse, but that it conditioned the left to not defend sex.

Honestly, if this was the 2010s there would be all these insufferable cis male games journalists going “erm, isn’t this Isabella mod with the curves weird toward women?? 🤔“ and you’d have to keep to yourself knowing that the writer in question was, in fact, very weird toward women

look at me again i have nothing to post right now

living in the 2020’s

can’t see shit

I keep a p̶i̶s̶t̶o̶l̶ shotgun by my side And I can see it shining in your eyes Oh, it could blow you miles away, no chance to say your goodbyes~ (Vane and JamieP - FIRE!!!) Yeah no I'm skipping lineart for this one. Nice to do the 1.5 outfit again though. #VTuber #PNGtuber #VArtist #VSky #ArtSky

lol are the world's dumbest people screeching and wailing about titty mods again, welcome back 2014

A lot of people on the left fail to reckon their role in making all the paypros stuff worsen, all the porn moral panics hit state and national legislatures. Like, yeah, a culture of treating goonery shit as indefensible created this current climate of social and financial censorship

@postoctobrist.bsky.social Did you go? How was it?
