Posting again now that ECCC is happening.

the way you are SERVING 🔥🔥🔥🔥🐈🔥🔥

We have lost all sense of proportion. Every one of those lives deserved to live. It is shocking to me how the idea of killing and the tallying of Trump’s kills has vanished into the fog of confusion that Trump seems to send out. We don’t seem to be able to record, number, and grieve this massacre.

A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.

If you have not read Persepolis you should, it is an extremely powerful graphic novel thats available for free on the Internet Archive: archive.org/details/pers... Though I would also highly reccomend supporting Marjane directly and purchasing it as well.

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

It’s great to live in a country where the insecure 12 year olds and the Waffen SS jerkoff wannabe’s alternate power on a day to day basis.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

A Nationwide Book Ban Bill Has Been Introduced in the House of Representatives Hours after the State of the Union address, House republicans introduced legislation banning LGBTQ+ books from public schools nationwide.

Following the lies and hatred targeting trans folks during the State of the Union Address, numerous republican House representatives introduced a bill that would create A NATIONWIDE BOOK BAN.

Here's what it is and what to do: bookriot.com/hr7661-book-...

the "just asking questions" to "legitimate questions about fairness in sports" to "the state doesn't have to consider us as real people" pipeline working exactly as designed.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

This is a very very very obvious point to make but shops and movie rental places and record stores are all more fun than buying things online

My father was born in 1945. The Salk vaccine wasn’t approved until 1955 (it was literally front page news). My dad remembers watching his mother’s tears of relief when he got the shot.

He’s still alive, btw. You want me to go ask him what happened to the kids he played with who didn’t get the shot?

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.

Image wants you to forget that multiple women have accused Jason Latour of sexual harassment and assault, and that he specifically used his position in the industry as leverage against them. Cool!

memories are short. reminder of this crushing statement from (one) woman:

"I dropped my dream of being a comic artist shortly after and fell into a depression while I tried to figure out how I could have my future still be art related. I’ve hardly read a comic since.”

Guillermo Del Toro looking intense as hell

POV: the edible you ate hours ago finally hits while Guillermo Del Toro is telling you “monsters are patron saints of our blissful imperfection”

Every single element of life is either more deadly, more expensive or more inconvenient (often all three) today than it’s been in decades & it’s purely because our robber baron overlords decided to dedicate the entirety of the US apparatus to doing barbaric & culturally suicidal white nationalism

"Unalive" "grape" "seggs" This has got to stop. Do people hear themselves? Its like talking to a particularly sensitive toddler. We can't remove serious words from our language just because we're afraid some fickle algorithm will show our posts to less people

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

“The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

its so crazy that modern star trek fumbled so hard in the wake of game of thrones. theatre actors doing epic monologues in plots that are 85% meetings had never been so hot. the goal was wide open. and then they made star trek picard

“As an android, my positronic brain is not affected by the psychoactive chemicals in ‘marijuana’. However, I have written a new subroutine for my personality matrix that will *simulate* the effects of tetrahydrocannabinol temporarily, so that I may participate in your ‘dream blunt rotation’”

After two weeks, Javier Abreu-Vasquez is finally out of the dungeon and back with his family in Minnesota. 🙏🏼
