I have been feeling compelled to write a long essay about the New X-Men: Academy X generation and how they’re probably the single most traumatized generation of mutants in Marvel comics history, and how those in power failed them at almost every turn.

Amid growing calls for the abolition of ICE, Rep. Delia Ramirez is calling for the entire DHS to be dismantled. Highlighting how much experience the officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti had, Ramirez said, “DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.”

But I need folks to understand that if they can see themselves in Alex Pretti or Renee Good, and they haven't been able to see themselves in Philando Castille or Breonna Taylor? If it feels different, now? I need you to examine that. It's not an accusation. I'm glad you're here with us now.

hey everybody lifelong tech expert here > "system crash” deleted nearly two weeks of surveillance footage from inside the facility that's not how anything works they're lying and destroying evidence hope that helps

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

the british famously have never wreaked global havoc white Europeans telling all of us to go fuck ourselves is so funny to me, like same brand, different region

As always, this sort of tone policing and pearl clutching about civility have always been and will always be a form of social means testing. You can care, but by golly don't care too much. Don't be so affected that you say a naughty nono word or have feelings of anger, fear, or indignation.

You notice how thousands and thousands of cops aren't coming out to condemn Jonathan Ross for senselessly killing Renee Good? This is what people mean by "all cops are bastards". If this were any other profession, the entire group would condemn it. With cops it's the reverse, they all justify it.

I drew this remix of the old meme because I find myself constantly annoyed

I honestly believe now would be the perfect tome for Sega to get back in the console market. If they can be marginally less greedy than their competitors, they’ll make a hell of a lot of money. I think they should compete with Nintendo again.

The Nancy Drew books were what ignited my passion for reading. The first few books entering public domain is wonderful. (Side note: we need to fix the laws in the country about when stuff enters public domain, things shouldn’t take damn near 100 years to become public)

Really glad I went out tonight. Instead of feeling lonely, I got to meet and chat with some cute people. I got a New Years kiss from a cute girl, too, which was wonderful. Overall, a fantastic start to this new year.

I had a conversation where a guy was saying that AOC has invited violence against Republicans with her words. I demanded that he pull up an example. He managed to try doubling down on his claim while refusing to provide a single example. They're happy to live a lie

Every day the urge to write an X-Men fanfiction that does that Evolution-style combining of lots of plot threads and including a focus on some of the younger mutants just gets stronger and stronger, including legitimately fucking with my sleep.

This right here. Like, it’s quite easy to stop liking art for such reasons, actually.

The CBS 60 Minutes Doc confirms what we knew: The U.S. is currently using our tax dollars to imprison brown people with no criminal record in torture camps overseas. It’s no wonder administration shill Bari Weiss pulled this off the air: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjY7...

I love that I enjoy taking pictures of myself. A year ago, I would have had trouble believing it. But like, I’m actually really pretty.

Getting stoned for the first time in weeks (a short break went longer than expected). Definitely needed this with how bad the back pain is tonight.

This is such a mood. Like 90% of the time, if I’m awake, this is how I feel.

"Oh my godddd okay so you don't like genAI because it steals from artists, makes processes slower, creates more work for underpaid employees, is supported by data centers that are poisoning Black communities, doesn't even look good, and no one asked for it, but do you have to be so MEAN about it"

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier. Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder. thisweekinvideogames.com/feature/conc...

A federal judge has blocked an age-verification mandate for social media in Louisiana, ruling that the same content can be accessed on unregulated sites, that it chills a huge amount of speech and that tools already exist for parents to block use. You know, the same arguments FSC made in Paxton.

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

Guess I'll post this again

Girl who is dancing in her living room because she finally got over being sick and needs to move her body. Re-listening to the latest Chance The Rapper album. Today is a good day overall for Willow 💜

Every day I wake up and another one of these evil fucks opens their mouth to attack marginalized communities. They hate science, facts, empathy, sincerity, the planet, and themselves, and they want to make it everyone else’s fucking problem. The cruelty IS the point. I’m just fucking tired.

The issue is not that we don't talk to each other. It's that some people think that "talking" means getting to debate your existence, and that's abusive and controlling.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

This is possibly the most significant attack on trans rights in this country yet, and I can count the number of posts on my timeline about this on my hands. If you're trying to dismiss this thinking "It'll die in the senate," DON'T! Sound the alarms now!

I don’t get why Whamageddon (however you spell it) is a thing. Like, Last Christmas is one of the few christmas songs I listen to every year on purpose. I enjoy that song.

Anything that is looking to work with AI rather than protect against it shows its hand in how out of touch it is with the creative workforce at large. It’s snake oil. I’m not interested in burning the planet to a crisp for share holders

7 Dems joined House Republicans in voting for a bill that would enable ICE agents to strip search 12-year-olds. Henry Cuellar (TX-28) Don Davis (NC-01) Laura Gillen (NY-04) Jared Golden (ME-02) Vicente Gonzalez (TX-34) Adam Gray (CA-13) Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA-03)

Nuremberg 2 Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I have a body that sometimes struggles with being active, a brain that can’t handle inactivity, and a sense of guilt if I’m not being “productive” or “useful” which makes it hard to rest/relax. Fuck. (I say this on day 5 of being sick, not able to do much all day)

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

Hi everyone I'm so so sorry to do this, but I've been unable to find any work and my finances have become a very heavy burden that I am struggling greatly with and it's having knock on effects with my physical health. Anything helps, even if it's just a repost: ko-fi.com/mustangsart

3 days (so far) of just saltines, electrolyte drinks, and ginger ale. Ya girl is struggling.

AI has actively made life worse for literally everyone - tech is now more expensive - you cannot trust most media of reality anymore - programs barely function - energy prices - literal psychosis - your voice can be literally stolen for evil - more spyware but hey, you can avoid paying an artist.

Since Polygon is leaving it out of the headline: Epic Games partnered with The Game Awards to put money into the pocket of a bigot who uses her wealth to further the genocide of trans people through lawsuits and legislation. Every 'free' game gives money directly to JKR, and they are complicit.

Wow, wouldn’t it be so wild if someone held my hand and helped provide some physical grounding so I don’t get lost in my own mind and eventually dissociate for months because I just can’t handle the horrors?

This is such a mood.

Fuck Fortnite, Fuck Epic, Fuck The Game Awards. Posting this to their X but NOT their Bluesky just SHOWS they know they're doing some bigoted shit & just don't wanna get called out for it. Imagine hurting your Transgender playerbase like this? And your Transgender viewers {In the case of TGA}?

Sex workers have warned y'all about this for many years, but y'all were too busy wanking to "sex trafficking" fantasies to listen.

"Solidarity" that's about making white supremacists comfy ISN'T SOLIDARITY. "Solidarity" that doesn't prioritize the safety & potential to thrive of the people most hurt by those in power ISN'T SOLIDARITY. "Solidarity" that posits racism (or misogyny, come to that) as "a view" ISN'T SOLIDARITY. 2/

I need the black shirt, and I need to cut it into a crop top.

btw the reason that transphobia is such a good canary in the coal mine for other rancid views is that transphobia is essentially a conspiracy theory and, via crank magnetism, once you accept its basic tenets you’re going to be open to a lot more
