When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point

I’ll be honest, ADHD was not where I saw TERFs headed next. I mean, I knew they were always gonna go after somebody, trans people were always the thin end of the wedge, but of all the bigotry available to choose from, we’re awfully niche.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

i think need to forestall what i charitably call a misunderstanding. “I call bullshit. How do you know what to order if you don’t know what people are reading??” *anonymized circ stats.* we don’t need to know WHO is requesting or borrowing a book to know THAT it’s getting requested & borrowed. 📚

The most realistic scene in DS9 is when Gul Dukat whined about how the Bajorans never erected a statue in his honor. A prophetic text.

Then compare it this video of Dav Pilkey drawing Dogman live as a packed audience of kids go apeshit. I think a revaluation of “success” in comics could take away the stranglehold Big 2 has on using that to exploit creators. www.instagram.com/reel/DR40pku...

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

"Democratic voters have to force their candidates to embrace real, aggressive Supreme Court reform. That means not only coming up with a plan (including, most likely, term limits and court expansion) but being unrestrained in how they talk about these six villains who are destroying our democracy."

This is your occasional reminder that, if you like Neil Gaiman's stuff, but can't bring yourself to like it anymore for justifiable reasons, Tanith Lee is the author he is credibly accused of extensively cribbing from, and her work is on Audible, and AMAZING.

The fjords on that man

This is so accurate it causes me mild physical pain.

Support us dry dry humans

🤒😰🤧 i am ill. sorry i missed stream this morning. i might do something live tomorrow morning, but i'm a gross mucus-y mess right now so if it happens it'll be something the requires no braincells. so maybe a zelda randomizer (i say, dooming tomorrow's me). stay healthy friends! being sick sucks.

Bolts has pretty consistently been doing of the best coverage of state-level politics I’ve seen, in an era where it is needed more than ever. Well worth supporting IMO.

one insidious thing about gen AI is it's not just causing us to mistrust dodgy images, it's also making us mistrust images that look perfectly normal. this is gaslighting in a very literal sense bc the technology is undermining the trust we have in our own ability to perceive reality!

Jesus Christ. JESUS Christ. Jesus CHRIST. Yes, this person is correct, remigration is a white supremacy term for ethnic cleansing, basically. And the Department of Homeland Security, WHICH SHOULDN'T EVEN EXIST, just used the term. An official government account. That is...that is beyond fucked.

The Proofreader’s Guide to Comic Book Style came out a year ago today! To celebrate my first book birthday, I’m running a 20% sale on all orders on comicbookstyle.com now through Black Friday with the code BIRTHDAY

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

AND supporting your local library is super important! If you actually DO want books to be available to everyone, the library *already exists* and is staffed by the people who are deep in the trenches of fighting censorship! Supporting the library is doing actual good for your community!

Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply. With @readfrontier.bsky.social

Hey everyone! No stream today--I've got to take the car into the shop to have it checked over before we drive 6 hours (maybe in snow!) for Thanksgiving 😬 uh.. happy holidays and also did you know i have a patreon...? Patreon.com/erisoreilly

People really need to learn the value of saying “I was wrong”

Art is an act of hope. Writing is an act of rebellion. The world will always need more stories--from real human beings, not bullshit plagiarism machines. Every book is a love story from the author, and every reader is fighting the war against cruelty, ignorance, and hopelessness. We are fighting.

Anyway time to post this again. AI is a tool of fascism.

And stop screaming at us to move faster thru security. I wear pull up sweats and a T-shirt and slip ons cuz I got Jim Bob with a gun screaming at me to pick up the pace and angrily slamming plastic buckets at me. I’m not fucking around with nice clothes in those conditions.

Time to move past the neverending trial stage. Yes, basic income reduces homelessness.

Insane but true fact: making US roads as safe as Canadian, Australian, or European roads would save more lives than eliminating murder from the US.

Signed. Waterstones, what are you doing?

Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Every country that does this only bans it for trans people. It's still approved for cis children www.ctvnews.ca/health/artic...

I think a lot about how much society pressures us to forgive people who don't think they actually need forgiveness

"The way Grambo sees it, it’s a numbers game. If he can draw the attention of officers to himself, perhaps fewer immigrants will get swept up, and that’s a win. “I know I can’t stop them,” he said, “but if I can suck up their time, then at least I can help some people.”" This is the way.

And, also, if you run a business that regularly purchases shipping supplies: ULINE is run by some of the worst people on Earth. Get your boxes and tape elsewhere.

I just wrapped up two projects with students working on automated license plate reader tech in the context of abortion and this is still more dystopian and horrific than anything we uncovered. The US is now a surveillance state with border patrol as the Gestapo. apnews.com/article/immi...

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

I do not want to “Do my own research.” I want to pay trained accredited experts to do the research, trained accredited experts to report on findings, and trained accredited experts to make policy based on them. I am busy af with my own job, I don’t need to do eight zillion more.
