latest thing driving me crazy about the current round of vote scolding is that even if given benefit of the doubt that these dems aren't personally transphobic, they're just getting votes, people are still being asked to put faith in the bravery of cowards kind of a big flaw there, the cowardice

Reset the “Days since someone used Palestinian suffering as a license to make racist ass Jew Jokes” Clock. Fucking Goyim, every fking time. Can ya’ll actually believe things? I bet it feels shitty for Palestinians too, when ya’ll do shit like that. They’re oppressed people not badges to wear.

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

Okay. I fucking loved the second season of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. Lotta cool plot world building that I wish they expanded upon….almost feels like the story would have been better served as a two season tale.

Why hasn’t anyone investigated the whole “NYU Manhattan chicks always end up lured into prostitution” thing from an Epstein context? Like, it being a poorly kept secret and still being allowed to occur is one level of fucked up, but I’d be fucking shocked if it isn’t an Epstein thing.

An open letter to cis people: First, let me get to the sticking point we’re probably at already. Cis means you are not trans. It’s not a slur, or an insult, it an adjective used in all sorts of disciplines that means on the same side as. Trans, means the inverse, on the other side. … 1/16

Just installed my 26-year-old copy of Word on a new desktop. I will never pay subscription fees for software I already paid for. I will go live in a shack in the woods first.

You all have seen Erin and I fiercely clash over tactics over the years, but this piece makes a wholly reasonable ask that I also endorse. The four in the header image especially suck shit.

The elections are on next Tuesday, and so much is at stake, including the soul of the Democratic Party when it comes to transgender people. I am asking you to leave a very small number of races blank in which a Democrat has embraced extreme anti-trans hate. I make my case here.

Today is Intersex Awareness Day. I am intersex – and did not find out until I was 26! Intersex people are also impacted by the decision in FWS, but this is much less talked about. Intersex people continue to be subjected to non-consensual medical interventions. Intersex rights are human rights.

in a dark sort of irony, this too is gender: we displace agency from men onto women as a way of excusing their abuse—what did you say to make him hit you? likewise, the (male-coded) political right is always understood as being provoked by the (female & queer-coded) left

The fetishisation of "debate" as some sort of grand public good that everyone should do is so thoughtless and jarring to me because the more you actually do it the more it becomes apparent that genuinely constructive debate is actually a pretty niche thing.

It costs $0 to share a queer south east asian disabled small business! It might lead to my next art job! I've exactly 2 weeks of funds for meals, so I'd appreciate help in spreading this! I am also urgently looking for a remote 2D artist position. I can draw all sorts of characters & 2D game asset!

I've been steadily making art all month but I haven't gotten any art orders in Oct. I only need $370 to cover food & utilities. It's a doable amount, cause i only have 1 dog to feed & I've had to put boundaries with my family financially. ☕: ko-fi.com/reinav

I'm anti-civilians getting bombed by God complex revanchist psychos, so it's a pretty straightforward foreign policy decision for me in both cases.

Hey, just a humble, respectful request. For the love of fucking god, stop fucking attacking Donald Trump with blatant and repulsive homophobia. If you think going after fascists by calling them gay or producing AI slop of them in dresses or making out, you're part of the fucking problem.

it cannot actually be ignored or danced around that the closure of BioWare came so soon after the Saudi and Jared Kushner acquisition of EA. they absolutely did take the studio making EA’s broadly queerest games out back and shoot it old yeller style. do not let yourself or colleagues ignore that

terfs are fucking scum. i was in a bathroom on my way home from uni today. i’m a bit tall, and w my voice i guess the only other woman clocked that i was trans, because she actually looked through the fucking stall and started screaming at the top of her lungs

If Zohran Mamdani or Abdul El-Sayed had used the word “Shylock” as an insult, the ADL would be attacking them by name relentlessly. But Donald Trump used it, so we get a generic condemnation of the word without any specific reference to who actually used it, and with no assumption of intent.

**Vaguely motions at any example of Donald Trump not paying people**

Trump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%. That's a lot of money"

right now there's no guarantee AI usage becomes embedded in indie games. We're a scene. We don't HAVE to be this. Individual choices couldn't matter more in this moment. To see that you can make a small, positive impact at mild inconvenience to yourself and say "nah" is to give up on a better world.

Everyone always going on about cleavage and sideboob. But the real shit is up boob, down boob, weak boob, strong boob, and spin boob 😌 the boob vector space is large.

This Day in Labor History: October 16, 1859. John Brown and a group of followers invade the federal arsenal at Harpers Ferry, Virginia (today WV) to start a war and end slavery. Let's talk about this key moment in American labor history!

Nothing makes me go from “we have to crush these fascists” to “you know what, fuck you, too” faster than some cis guy talking about purity politics.

I’m sorry to have to be the bad guy here but we need to recognize that we live in a compressed air thrusters world now. If you’re not finding ways to teach the critical use of compressed air thrusters in your classroom, you’re setting your students up to fail when you could be setting them up to fly

Doesn’t California bankroll like….half our economy? It’s so fucking weird that the GOP are making “we really really wanna piss off california” their hill to die on….
