it was the only genuinely interesting contemporary sci-fi i'd read in quite some time and sacrificing her to moloch killed my interest in checking out any more, because if this is what we do to good authors, what's the point of engaging?

The whole “they were genuinely jealous and looking for reasons to quash one of their so-called rivals and pull the ladder up” thing feels like the secret third thing of the original “how dare they use a meme to make a point” and “how dare they make me uncomfortable” bad faith shit takes.

I've been working on this piece for a few months, and I won't lie it's hurt to go from hearing the suffering inflicted by this transphobic theocracy to seeing progressives sing its praises. The bishops' ban is the most extensive trans healthcare ban in the country. It deserves way more attention.

when you look for pedophiles, look for those with power, not for weird people on the internet. Weird people on the internet do not have the access, the control, and the ability to get away with abusing a child that literally anyone with a badge, a clerical collar, or a teaching degree could

i wish i could still watch/read/play murder mysteries without crying. I just want fiction to make sense to me again

They could just say "this lady won't shut up about state child abuse," it's what they mean.

I hate the framing of “Ms Rachel has found a new cause—“ because no she hasn’t. Advocating for children kidnapped and locked up by ICE is not incompatible with her advocacy of children in Palestine. You just want to make her advocacy sound frivolous and fleeting. She’s being consistent.

This article is darkly fascinating as an example of how transphobia infects your entire ideology. The core argument is that we should not believe people when they say they are trans, were sexully abused or have a mental disorder.

[ASSASSIN'S CREED: ODYSSEY] The thing that sucks about PELOPONNESIAN WAR SIMULATOR 2018 is that you have to fight on the side of the Spartans, something I have never wanted to do in my life

This has bothered me for years.

Never mind that I, an American citizen and a born refugee, have had massive travel anxiety over the regular-degular TSA for my whole life. And people are telling us to calm down, and it’s not that bad if ICE were in charge of that job? I can’t comprehend that level of white delusion.

Tapping this sign again

As Israel tries to murder another British journalist we must remember they are the biggest War Criminal on the planet, and it is not just Genocide. They have murdered more journalists in 3 years than the rest of the planet combined have killed in 87 years.

As someone whose great grandmother was sent to a concentration camp by a Nazi at a border crossing…..to me y’all sound like “at least the Gestapo won’t be dragging people out of their homes, they’re just hanging around train stations, I’ll take it.”

Israeli settlers carried out a pogrom for over 6 hours across the West Bank last night, targeting more than 14 villages, and no one stopped them. The Israeli army fully complicit.

we will not have a functional planet until first western hegemony takes the big sleep, and second when male supremacy stops being an acceptable ideology

most trans girls would be happier fatter TBH. You get bigger boobs and bigger bum and you have energy and shit.

i actually do feel quite comfortable giving trans women the “generalized advice” that untreated eating disorders are bad for your health

I just wish they were native american in cosmo canyon. Like everyone here in rebirth is so pasty and shit why

apropos of nothing i hate that Lego continues to make harry potter sets and that there's still an adult market for them

my biggest fear in this moment is not that the fascists will win, but that this critical mass of popular opposition will settle for a victory of half measures, once again kicking the can down the road instead of doing the simple straightforward work of picking it up and throwing it in the trash.

racism, sexism, nationalism, pseudoscience, homophobia, xenophobia, genocide: criminals sentenced to death, pardoned by their cynical benefactors and paperclipped to softer ideas to keep them well enough alive. this is why intolerance cannot be tolerated. there is no equilibrium with a parasite.

I can't go to the toilet wiht people in the house without feeling scared any more. I fuckign hate it

I really really lvoe that cloud strife just is plural. 10/10 Nojima

I've said it before: I genuinely consider it a moral imperative that people my age and up bang the drum about what the Internet used to be so those younger know that there's nothing inherent about what it is now. The Internet doesn't have to be this; its culture can and has belonged to people.

I know this is an obvious thing to say but we should talk more about what a racist this guy is. He’s as racist as George Wallace or Strom Thurmond but unlike them he often escapes having racism mentioned as a leading cause for all his decisions.

Honestly i don't trust anyone who works for microsoft any more i jsut don't. Go homeless I don't care just don't work for microsoft

It is possible to care about multiple things at the same time. And limiting yourself to one vector for action when multiple vectors are being used against us is folly. It is extremely likely that these developers are compromised, they should not get a free pass about it.

Incredibly funny that the president of the United States can do this and retain command of the American Armed Forces, but I said it about a literal Nazi and got fired from a job writing superhero comics.

Re: the deceased Nicholas Brendon

I wish we lived in a world where men weren't basically encouraged to abuse women if they feel insecure or unmoored for any reason

they’ve always gotten time and empathy. i’d prefer to give time and empathy to the women they strangle.

Massive loss

I used to moderate panels at an Irish con. I had the displeasure of working with Brendon. A kid asked him What was the best thing about Buffy. His answer “The prostitutes in my trailer” These photos contain my reaction to this. I apologised profusely to the audience and the kids shocked Mam.

rip robert mueller you taught me it was okay to do nothing when faced with the most consequential task of my life

SMG has no responsibilities towards an abusive ex coworker this has happened every time I left a relationship with a man, and she wasn't even in a relationship with him when I remove ANY man from my life, that is a full warning. that is someone who has proven himself unsafe to me and or my family

The level to which Asmon’s rhetoric is becoming exponentially further and further RW and violent… I wish we had a functioning gaming press to actually push back against this

The public are IMO entitled to ask why Britain has been helping to facilitate this openly fascist programme of expansionist war to provide more living space for murderous religious extremists.

You’re going to want to sit down for this one, because it’ll come as a big shock, but: they mean “drive out the people who live in southern Lebanon, demolish the existing towns and cities then replace them with a million crank psycho settlers”.

white men will watch other white men have psychotic meltdowns where they scream slurs and not consider that 'being emotional,' but the minute they see someone who isn't a white man disagreeing with them, suddenly they have opinions about how emotional those people. strange how that works, huh?

Sharing this in conjunction with my memorial post. No matter my feelings on his work, the harm he did to women is horrific and should be remembered, even just as a look at how the cycle of violence (csa victim) often leads men to want to hurt women cos they want power and suck. this is never ok

if he can't hear how does he know its defamatory

i personally think it is bad that East and South Asia are undergoing an energy crisis especially given that said area contains the majority of humanity

God it sucks that Nicholas Brendon died. America doesn't take care of people and so many people just die of preventable shit becuause they're poor. If the rumors about him being trans were true, I hope that that person got to be truly happy at least once. RIP

o ur raising money for a trans (or trans related) charity? some of which have millions in turnover each year and pay their limited staff very well, most of whom aren't trans? that's nice. my trans friends can't get jobs because of bigotry and so can't pay their bills, rent or buy food tho.

I saw one headass YT comment like, “You luddites don’t get it. Eventually we can have simple models and project lifelike faces on them” THAT’S HOW SHADERS AND NORMAL MAPS ALREADY WORK! IT’S SIMPLE NON-GENAI TECH! THE SIREN SERIES ACTUALLY USED IRL FACES ONTO FLAT SIMPLE MODELS FOR UNCANNY HORROR!

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that
