"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"

Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.

i am so excited about this anthology, and honored to have been interviewed for it. can't wait to see the finished product!!!!!! <3333333

this is what you do when you not only want to attack the present, but also want to kill the future of an entire people.

i saw this on tumblr just now and scrolled for 10 minutes here to find and reskeet it....YAY!!!!

a simple, 3-color, vintage matchbook illustration-inspired digital drawing of a black cat with a mischievous expression. It’s holding up a book titled “fucked up dyke stories” and saying “hee hee”.

how it feels to read your nasty gay stories

"is soup a drink" "is a quesadilla a sandwich" oh my god can you just convert to judaism already

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

Can’t wait until the person who wrote this publishes their next article, “there is absolutely no reason to search my emails”

You know what I'm doing with my disability? Skeeting profusely! Not calling Black people the n word.

There are 316 boxes left. If there are any ultra wealthy people who want to buy all 316 boxes but cant eat them all then you can send them to me, I'll sacrifice my health for the children.

A futuristic cityscape being broken into pieces and floating up into the air. A variety of Trans+ people are sitting on the builds. Lines of vertical binary code line the design. Text along the top and bottom reads 'Trans in the Machine, Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon'

Cyberpunk and transness have always been linked.

For the first time, that connection will be explored in-depth.

This book will also showcase the amazing films, games & stories being made by Trans+ creators.

Be part of the new cyberpunk canon.

Every trans person who insists on being seen is a living map for those still finding their way.

It’s giving middle passage

Welcome to issue 11! It shaped up to be thick with liberatory gestures – on disability, fatness, Blackness, youth, and more.

Creatives across/against genre and medium tackle pressing issues of disposibility and resistance.

manyworlds.place/issue-11/

Some highlights:

Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

When the Headlines Change but the Violence Doesn’t “This is not a cruel novelty project. It’s infrastructure, designed for permanence and expansion.”

My latest: Applauding community defense is not enough. We are organizing resistance to a concentration camp regime. The front lines are everywhere.

I was very lucky to get an ARC copy of @cavar.bsky.social 's upcoming poetry release, Differential Diagnosis. It's poetry that is sometimes playful, often uncomfortable, and always encouraging us to draw our own lines.

Failure to Comply by @cavar.bsky.social is brilliant experimental transMad cyberpunk

The Fortunate Fall by @lateonsetgirl.bsky.social is the best cyberpunk ive ever read about censorship of queerness from cyberspace

Never forget that the people who convinced you trans people are a threat to your children all belong to a network of child rapists.

this is good. we should all do this more

I’m totally down to send you an arc (esp. as an academic myself!) tysm!

Do not slow yourself to be drawn into a discussion on pacifism at this time. You will never be passive and compliant enough to not be a threat in the face of state violence.
