There's a guy on Twitter who posted about Rob Reiner's perfect run of films and included North. Every time someone calls out North, he says "Not the time, 2 people are dead." It's making me laugh until I cry, and I'm confident Rob Reiner would have found it hilarious.

I know I seem like a broken record, and I apologize for it, but I don’t know what to do. We need to get some more money to our landlord today to stay on the payment plan he set for us, and we desperately need your help.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

Theoretically, everyone deserves the right to do what they want to their own bodies. But in practice, these laws lead to further devaluation of disabled lives. They invariably lead to people choosing MAID because they can't afford healthcare, cajoled into this cheaper choice by an uncaring system.

global adoption of linux gets pushed back by 6 years every time a Linux Guy starts talking at me like max headroom

our reckoning is upon us

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

"people with renaissance-level art skills don't exist anymore" yes they do their username is something like 03748218_ and they spend all their time drawing pornography so deranged it'd kill hugh hefner a second time

thing about graphical realism is that a lot of the games that cynically chase after it don't care enough about the visual language of film they are trying to copy to make the realism actually interesting let alone work in games. something as basic as colour palette and scene framing is a good one

my undergrad gen bio class had a shocking number of lectures on "here's a horrifying thing that can happen to you" and I'm still terrified of prions These unkillable proteins teach your body to literally unravel itself and there's nothing you can do -- and we keep finding them in new animals

KOSA along with many other online age verification bills will be discussed tomorrow in the House committee. This is the time to call and make your voice heard. I used 5calls! 5calls.org/issue/kids-o... I have severe phone anxiety and I did it, and it took five minutes. Let's get this done with!

Love that AI is not only “threatening” to take our jobs it’s making the MEANS of working untenable. The RAM I bought last march for $160 now costs over $900 because of AI. It is impossible to make or upgrade a work computer. This is insane.

Broke: "is a hotdog a sandwich" Woke: "Is kugel lasagna" Bespoke: "is a bagel pasta"

This might be a bold take but maybe we want to actually own hardware and software that we can change or modify without being permanently banned from using the any/all of the products we have literally paid money for

When I worked in immigration law this wasn’t as common as it is now, but it happened, and it made everyone in the room so desperately uncomfortable, the way you are when you are confronted with your own bald-faced lie that you have to keep up. This is from 2016.

There is no sight that more efficiently puts the lie to immigration “court” than the common sight of children “representing themselves.” Children too small to climb into the chair, children in pajamas who don’t know where they are, children not yet old enough to speak.

tapping the sign

one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it

Marge Attacks, or whatever that movie was called

hormones are incredible, and there *will* come a point where the changes add up enough that it becomes easier. i don’t have to try as hard anymore, it rules. but you don’t NEED to hit that point to exist in society as a trans woman. you build that confidence - the Vibes - by Being Woman in public

not surgery or voice training or hormones or anything else, but Vibes. confidence, comfort, energy. in my experience, even if you’re fronting (god knows i was), if you act like you belong, people will assume you belong. i faked it til i made it

i was 20, in college, and forced to take very public wobbly steps into womanhood on the wrong hormones. i felt like tony stark buildings Gender in a cave with scraps however, i believe what i learned from this experience (which again, nobody should have to go through) is that “passing“ is 90% vibes

my experience with old school transsexual gatekeeping fucking sucked. this therapist basically strung me along for two years, forever dangling a referral to an endo just out of my reach. it was a nightmare, and i was *unbelievably* depressed. nobody should have to go through that

speaking directly to the transfems rn, cissies look away ~ i had no transfem community (online or irl) when i was preparing to transition circa 2016-2018. i had an old-school gender therapist, bc i didn’t know informed consent existed. she made me social transition for a year before HRT. (1/?)

Our Dumb Century was dreadfully significant in the development of my sense of humor, there are too many great gags to name but starting off the most significant event of the 20th century with a typesetting joke is peak

Crazy how much of pearl clutching content policing is always “a bunch of people who didn’t engage with the content in question decide to put its creator in the wicker man for seemingly no reason.”

continuing to make calls. I called my reps and alongside demanding they oppose all of these bills (and explaining in detail why), I also advocated for putting these bills through MORE committee meetings in order to continue debating them, rather than fast track such dangerous legislation

"Respectful and understanding" - perhaps they were. I'm not. I don't think any of us should be. I think orgs that do this need to pay a heavy price for doing it. They're afraid of the power transphobes have: and so we must endeavour to build power of our own and to wield it uncompromisingly.

Hi. Hey. Hello. Yeah. Fascism. This is happening. America. Can you... can you stop this please.

james cameron every couple of years for some reason:

Everytime i see new ads for the upcoming avatar movie, im thibking about this

a lot of people debating the merits of that dogshit essay meanwhile the girl’s mom is retweeting demands to ban all trans people from teaching at any level. it’s forest for the trees shit

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

really went dark for the sequel

What a great headline

Does anyone want a survivorship bias shortbread

I got banned from Ko-Fi for THIS drawing. It’s absolutely not “tHe MoSt eXtReMe NsFw aCcOuNtS.” You and your community are being attacked.

Liberals are like excuse me tankies but we are the adults in the room, thats why we're making the fascists take us seriously by posting babytalk slop like tRump Drumpf Elonia Pootin Taco Cheeto McOrangeHands

One of my personal favourites

Keep calling your reps, remind them that the midterms are less than a year away and that you'll primary them if they support any of these.

I really need help. Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I’m late on all my bills. My phone shut down. I’m struggling so hard and any help would make a difference right now.

It would be extremely cool if a bunch of people called payment processors over Black Friday weekend to ask why they're telling people what they can and can't buy with their own money. This holiday season, give the gift of calling payment processors over Black Friday weekend
