"Old and true. And sturdy. One of the best [gaming] tools ever built. We've grown reliant on Imperial tech, and we've made ourselves vulnerable. There's a growing list of things we've known and forgotten, things they've pushed us to forget. Things like freedom."

“You’re so cringe bro.” “Y’know I can draw you pregnant, right?” “Right. Like I haven’t heard that one before.” “Giving birth then.” “You wouldn’t.” “✍️” “WAIT NO--“

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

What It Means to Be a Pagan -For This Heathen John Beckett wrote an excellent post on Patheos titled What It Means to Be a Pagan. He reminisces about the blogging scene for Paganism circa 2015 and earlier, and I would echo his sentiment: "One of the things I miss about the pinnacle of Pagan…

On Heathen Vættir Identification and Authentication My appreciation to The Spirited Witch who gave me this writing prompt: “I would love to see more on spirit identifications and authentication.” Sarenth Óðinsson -Heathen Spiritworker is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and…

Gonna bang the drum once more: Labelers are inherently someone else making a judgement call about whatever they are about. People will get it wrong. Just like blocklists, you are outsourcing your judgement to someone else, who may have an agenda, use it to settle scores, or just get it wrong.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa has died. Bummer news. I mean, what do you even need to say about his performance as Shang Tsung? Iconic.

Thoughts on Considering Kinship Vol 4: Persons November 23rd of 2024 I wrote a post stating that I would be exploring the central question in each book as I finished them. Since I have finished Considering Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations, Vol 4: Persons, as a Heathen polytheist and…

In the rest of the world, it is World AIDS Day. I was a high school student when it started, though we did not know that at the time. I was into my college years before the pandemic became widely noticeable. I was a young artist when my friends started to leave us. We will always remember.

Things used in everyday life are the real archaeological treasures! These sewing #needles were made from animal bone some 15,000 years ago. Some designs simply don't need to be improved, because form and functions were perfectly matched from the start. Form follows function! 🧵1/2 🏺

I got so stoned at a Mets game once I compared the Jumbotron to the top screen of a Nintendo DS bc it had “a bunch of useful contextual information” and the field to the bottom screen bc “it’s where the game is actually played”

Oh no. Now I am listening to BattleTech Lore and now the gears are turning on making a small MechWarrior mercenary group and writing their story. Nothing Terra-shattering, just picking a section of space and following their journey.

Eagerly awaiting the Clan Wolf DLC dropping December 3rd. The first two MW5 Clan DLCs were great and I deeply enjoyed playing them. Best part has been playing through them with my son, who really enjoys the setting.

You don’t get to promote yourself as a vegan friendly company when you’re using tech that’s literally killing the environment. Not without being massively disingenuous. You also can’t pretend you’re pro-artist either. AI is artistic theft being used to try and make artists extinct. Fuck off.

So yeah, as noted in replies yesterday, the company uses AI in its “photography” which means I won’t be using them again. They don’t use it for designs so I’m keeping my goddamn boots that I waited ages for but I won’t be mentioning the site anymore. I hate that this keeps happening.

Fellow publishers are taking financial damage from unpaid bills from library distributor Baker & Taylor, who are closing down. About Comics had no exposure here (haven't yet found our way into the library market), but it's a good time to buy a book from, say, @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social

🕯️ Today, we remember and mourn the ones we have lost. We will continue to fight for trans rights and equality while doing what we can to protect our community by holding people in power to account. To all of our siblings who are struggling, we see you, we hear you and you are loved.

Refuse to accept the premise here. Trump is showing with Venezuela how he spawns war out of nothing.

I'm watching an adult creator get systematically cut off from every income stream by payment processors and now debankment could be on the table. She makes legal content. They are trying to shut her up and hope that we'll shut up too. We must get louder. Call Visa and MC. Tell them this will stop.

The Salvation Army are a hate group. Do not forget that this winter.

Sharing in this #TransAwarenessWeek some of my illustrations dedicated to our trans lives, and especially those of my dear transfem sisters💙🩷🤍🩷💙

Farewell Anomalous Thracian, Gimbal, and the Sacred Serpents of Sabazios Hail to the Sacred Dead. Anomalous Thracian aka Theanos Thrax, the Sacred Raven Gimbal, and all of the 60 Sacred Serpents of Sabazios have died in a house fire on November 11th, 2025. Anomalous Thracian and Gimbal's names and…

Modern leftists of all stripes could learn a lot from the struggle for emancipation & how direct action radicalizes all. Nothing better sums that up than this banger.

Hey. This is the BEST POSSIBLE SEASON to badger Visa and Mastercard into fucking off about their shitty fake-moral-panic over LGBTQ+ spending habits and content on retail platforms. Fuck ALL THE WAY OFF, VISA and Mastercard. No one wants to hear jack shit from you. You're a fucking receipt printer.

Agreed. This is horse shit. They want no AI because they want to use your data to train AI. Fuck Jack, and Fuck this.

I don’t want to formulate words yet, but my friend Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social of the Disability Visibility Project, has passed. Here are the words she left behind: www.instagram.com/p/DREMDNBjnq...

A sincere thanks to @theonion.com for spotlighting a huge and growing problem with America's broken Veterans Affairs system. My @propublica.org colleagues have been investigating the VA and could use help from those who've worked there:

In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?

Halloween

I've written two books, both with a chapter about land but nature is not the dominant theme. For Becoming Kin it's mostly about land back and in Bad Indians Book Club it's about how we do science. So why do I keep getting invitations to talk about nature? I am a Lothlorien elf, not Rivendel ok?

I remember how hard we fought to get Ossoff in office. I feel like this is especially a slap in the face after all of that

and, while we're running a little late this morning, we are still six chapters ahead over on patreon www.patreon.com/posts/143189...

I did a Zenless Zone Zero inspired animation

It is deeply amusing to me that folks don't know the starburst/cross pattern in cartoons used to mark a star in the sky is how people with astigmatism see all bright lights in the darkness.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️
