Strongly suspect that as this war and its negative effects escalate, we're gonna see a massive increase in disinfo and unsourced "news" - starting right the hell now.

PLEASE don't share "breaking" news from rando or disreputable accounts who provide no links.

I was at a bible study in high school and the born-again guy leading it said that everything in your life should be based in and revolve around and take into account their god.

I just said "Nah" and walked away.

In all of film history, there's never been a single instance of a movie failing because of audience bigotry, it's made up. Producers blaming censorship on a foreign country or "concerned parents" or whatever are always lying.

They're not bending to pressure, *they're* the bigots. Get it right.

btw about that pixar thing, the reason why these people think having a conversation about gay people with kids is difficult is because they don't know a way to say to their kid "gay people are normal but you are not allowed to be one" without sounding like a bigot (there is a reason for that)

It’s absurd how pretty much every predicted consequence is now just true. Obviously nothing wrong with this situation per se, just that it’s not what Team Brexit said. IDK whether the nuance says good or bad things are happening under the bonnet. Diving in.

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

Absolutely this. Have fun with things. And I will point especially at that last point because hell yes if the writing's good enough you can get away with pretty much whatever.

Will everyone follow with you? No. But you have to write for yourself first. Let the audience meant to find the work do so.

I am so serious when I say that there is a direct line to be drawn between Evangelism having no meaningful concept of the future save death and American conservatives having zero awareness of or interest in the future consequences of their actions

Screenshot of an X post by HasanAbi commenting on how to discuss trans issues with median voters. The post quotes Marco Foster, who says the anti-trans campaign in Maine is funded by an out-of-state billionaire to distract from tax discussions and notes that very few trans kids compete in high school sports there. Below is a podcast-style video still of a man speaking into a microphone.

When you hear them target any vulnerable communityβ€”immigrants, trans people, refugeesβ€”ask first why they're trying to distract and divide us. Don't fall for it.

Also while I was fighting despair by sorting laundry and watering plants I want to say Happy International Women's Day to the women and especially the women who are in the closet about that

It's your day! Even if it's a secret

Was going to make a joke but it's actually REALLY bad they feel confident enough to say this shit out loud.

Picard creativity tip: By all means, draw from your own experience, but also find enough empathy to draw from the experiences of others.

The reason I fight so hard for trans kids is because I was a trans kid myself. I knew who I was in the year 2000, 12 years old, behind my computer, using the name Erin. I wanted puberty blockers so badly. My body shifted and changed in horrifying ways that I suffered for 15 years over.

They added the trans stuff so that they can call Dems who vote against it extreme on trans issues.

TAPPER: You know that if you vote against an additional $50 billion of funding for operations in Iran, that vote will be cast as you voting against the troops.

CHRIS MURPHY: Come on. The American people do not want this war. If you support the troops, you should be voting against this war.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Please, I beg you, do not tell your lawyer that she's wrong about the risks of your case and there's no way you can possibly lose because AI said so.

Please.

It makes your lawyer tear her hair out.

β€’ Veterans who were discharged from the uniformed services due to sexual orientation or gender identity/expression.
- They do not need to live in Washington.
- They do not need to enter school within a certain amount of time after separating from the military.
- They maintain resident student status as long as they stay continuously enrolled.
- Does not apply to veterans who have a dishonorable discharge from the uniformed services.

TIL that military service members who were discharged for their sexual orientation or gender identity qualify for in-state tuition rates in Washington regardless of their residency!

Panel from Spidey Super Stories #39 (1978)

Mary Jane watches the television frowning with a clenched fist. On the TV a reporter holds a microphone and turns to see four women asleep on the floor.

'Meanwhile...'
Reporter: Mastermind's SLEEP SODA made the marchers sleep.

MJ thinks: 'Another PLOT to stop women.'

I need every single male artist that follows me to read this. It's not very long. You need to bear witness to this shit. You have to see it with your own eyes because you never will in your everyday life.

Definitely should have delved into who the "they" referred to because I'm pretty sure that says the parents weren't ready to have conversations, not that the kids weren't ready to ask. Because if the kid is asking, the kid is ready. And then the avoidant parent is just being immature.
