A transphobe with *any* good in them should be fucking horrified at who they were manipulated by, but nope. They’re in too deep to reexamine themselves. They shouldn’t be allowed to forget though. Gendercritters serve a pedophile ring. That is what they do - knowingly, now.

It really needs to be reiterate in these plain terms. The grift is on the table, the rise in anti-trans panic is easily traced back, and yet the attacks on us haven’t missed a single beat. No pause. No reflection. They just continue doing what the perverts told them to do.

We literally know now that anti-trans legislation was pushed by a pedophile ring to allow a pedophile ring to serve a pedophile ring’s interests, and legislators have decided the best course of action is to keep doing what the pedophile ring wants.

it's really been touching to see how much people loved the show. It was such a turning point for me and my career to be on she-ra, I owe so much to it

In the penultimate issue of Star Wars Insider, issue #236 (out today), Maul voice actor Sam Witwer revealed new details about his character’s motivations in the upcoming animated series, Maul: Shadow Lord. In addition, Collider shared a new image of Maul! www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2026/02/sam-...

does anybody have any general questions theyd want answered about palaeontology or think would have helped you understand things faster? im thinking about making something and i wanna cover as many bases as possible

My entire art career and PnF obsession was for the whole purpose of drawing Phineas and Ferb ripped and making it look good

New commission from @marstectomy.bsky.social featuring Phineas and Ferb... but not as you know them. Remember when Ferb was turned evil, he took on the appearance of Darth Maul? Well now both have the Nightbrother look, with Phineas taking the appearance of Maul's brother, Savage Opress.

on the flipside, good that reddit of all places is at least trying to do SOMETHING about forcing people to give ID to use the platform

ha discord is pushing back it's global id verification system to the second half of the year keep making noise guys, let them know we do NOT want this

The Albanese government has sleepwalked into another Robodebt scenario, where unfounded optimism in AI and automated decision-making has once again left Australians at the mercy of an uncaring robot bureaucrat.

They’ll criminalize everything except being in a billionaire pedo ring.

Widespread age estimation & ID checks make everyone’s user experience on social and streaming platforms a nightmare, plus they don't actually make anyone more safe. Tell Discord and other companies to stop pre-complying with censorship here: www.stoponlineidchecks.org

Discord claims their age estimation & ID check techniques are privacy preserving so cyber-security experts put these claims to the test, revealing some unsettling but predictable vulnerabilities. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Keep cancelling your nitro and bullying companies!!!!

Discord says its delaying the age verification rollout until the second half of the year This comes after massive backlash

[will delete soon when slots r claimed] HELLOO im opening up a new service in vgen dnd tokens w cool lighting :D it's currently 15% off so grab em while theyre still avail <3

Gotta love how these technofascists wanna make sure the planet’s well populated when their beloved AI’s finished stripping it of all its resources.

I claim this curse in the name of autism 💜

a mundane curse #comic

they r open again yippeee

Because I referenced this saying, I feel the need to point out that Mussolini did NOT in fact make the trains run on time. Even fascism's supposed silver linings are always BS. www.snopes.com/fact-check/l...

the more reasonable way to depict it. I think whatever the case, I can't imagine it looking quite as straightforward as is thought to be the case for most theropods!

If this was case, it would be novel among reptiles at least, but it's not like Spinosaurus was particularly conventional when it came to the rest of its anatomy. The teeth just splay outwards SO much, that if fully lipped, those lips must have been really extensive. But perhaps that is (cont')

I know theropod lips aren't a big deal in the grand scheme of things, but Spinosaurus specifically feels like it was doing something interesting with its extraoral tissue. In this piece, I opted for more extensive covering on the sides of the jaw, and left the tip of the snout lipless. (cont')

Results from the #paleostream Speculative impact event in the Eocene, Volgacarcinus, Eremosuchus (with Numidotherium) and Corythosaurus!

This is fair. I mainly take issue with how theory culture overcomplicates and misses the point of media. Too often it focuses too hard on piecing together a puzzle, rather than the appreciating whole picture and what it's saying; the "no meaning, only lore" idea that killed Twin Peaks for 25 years.

If you want to support the Palestine Museum of Natural History (which is currently renovating) you can do that directly, by donating, or by producing artwork for them! I already donated some artwork to them secure.qgiv.com/for/drmazen/ bsky.app/profile/nata...

The quarry but they are from the same time and region and give you an idea what inhabited the sea bed. As you can see in @seismic-shrimp.bsky.social's size chart we covered a big portion of the vertebrate diversity,

them here and there (the sharks for example) which is why I was super happy that the folks over at the Palestine Museum of Natural History were able to help us with many more names to our taxa list, especially on the invert side of things! Some of these are not directly from...

tidal zone piece! The sediments here indicate a very shallow environment, a couple meters max with occasional influence from near by islands. The literature for fossils from this region isn't always accessibale and many fossils still wait to be described with only mentions of...

...we simply went with the quarry name for this. Interesting for the depositional environment is that it wasn't a Solnhofen like lagoon, not super salty or anoxic but simply a steady stream of fine sediment that brought us these beautiful details. This represents out first...

While originally our wheel had "Bet Meir Formation" written on it we quickly figured that most material came from a single quarry with the fossiliferous strata being either part of the Bet Meir or the underlying formation. As the label of the fauna isn't that important to us...

Here the result of the Ein Yabrud quarry #paleostream. An important locality from the Cretaceous of Palestine. While mostly famous for it's marine snakes and early mosasauroids, beautiful fish fossils and rich invertebrate fauna are completing this picture!

YES. A good plot twist usually feels obvious in hindsight, without giving everything away right away. Make your audience feel smarter for having figured it out!

This is also why I hate mystery box stories. We don't get mad because expectations are "subverted". We get mad because mystery box stories are made to create speculation first, without an answer that was deliberately built up to. They're like train tracks that lead off a cliff, without a bridge.

Should clarify that it's more "theory culture" that I take issue with over theories themselves. Theories can be fun but, when encouraged too much, they can often miss the point of media when it's not about the "deep lore" of things and more about simpler, more universal themes of a story.

You can tell the TADC fanbase has a lot of young people in it because Episode 7 was NOT subtle about saying this.

Theories and "expectations" have had a nasty impact on culture. They just set people up to get mad when the story the artist tells doesn't line up with whatever people imagined based off "patterns" that don't really mean anything. Wait for the end, enjoy the ride, and let a story be what it is.

the fact i've seen more than one person try to stop the harassment against gooseworx by just trying to redirect the hate towards vivziepop shows that some people really are missing the point and creators shouldn't be harassed for their decisions in general

The three princes of Farak confer in the dying light. #sciart #paleoart

omg pnf storyboard artist wendy grieb worked with dave filoni (yes, THAT dave filoni) on dave the barbarian

I see people use it as a way to circumvent their own shitty behavior and bullying, and I’m sorry. That’s just fucked up and hypocritical. Just treat humans like humans.

Last thing I’ll say before going to bed. A creator being cringe, or ‘unprofessional’, or annoying is not somehow justification to treat them badly. You are allowed to be critical of someone’s behavior, we all are. But I see it used to excuse such genuine cruelty. It’s not a crime to be openly human.
