Turning nerds into nerd werewolves.

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...

A powerful way to detoxify ourselves would be to offload the wealth of CEOs techbros & corporations to the rest of the humans they want to commodify, subjugate, and destroy.

I like that the fandom has most, collectively, agreed that Riku KigndomHearts is indeed a brooding wolf boy. Accurate read

What’s his problem

Roommate had a friend pass through last night and I made teriyaki. Homie took one bite and just had to stop and go "woah"

I've been debating all day what to name this Wolf Person in my Tsalagi fantasy adventure. Out there with his turkey feather hat and his armlets. Looking all handsome with his bands and bear claw necklace. Sure he's a good hunter, but he's a big nerd and making a naturalist survey.

So much of protect the sacred really has be this giant deconstrction of the colonialism at the heart of a genre and literary movement built off just a very simple, universal, and human desire to have new experiences and make connections.

All I want for Christmas is collapse

Dudes keep being like "our next TTRPG is Ghibli inspired". Boring. Boo. It should be Gainax inspired.

A huge part of the book-banning project aims to make work that provides a public good feel impossible and unsafe! It targets authors, absolutely, but it’s also trying to add unreasonable administrative burdens to the work of teachers and librarians.

This is dead serious, do not do this. It opens up a ton of liability and actively decreases the likelihood (or fully eliminates) that what you want or hope to happen will happen.

I made the floral prints based off of flowers I've been growing: dahlias and lupins. #furry #furryart #fursona

As a long time anime fan the reduction of Miyazaki (lets be honest, that's the only ghibli they mean) to a bucolic and bright colored aesthetic palatable to nerd-as-identity consumerism has always been distasteful and divorces it from the politics omnipresent in the works.
