irl 🐙👨‍👦 ~ Eight Arms, Three Hearts, Can't Lose

oh i as an american definitely use it to mean "nearly" although i could see how irony impedance mismatch could result in people reading a sarcastic "almost " as earnest or vice versa

thanks for satisfying my curiosity on the matter

.....wait what do british people mean by "almost"

omg i have been complaining for actual years that cammi stayed dead after cosmic ghost rider

i told you this in person but i'll repeat it again: this was the best comic at marvel every single week it came out

absolutely fantastic piece, i've been sharing it around to everyone today for more context on this whole ugly situation.

there's a couple good detail questions in the replies on TCJ, any chance on an update?

yeah, and the immediate editor of this book is a trans woman (who also edits multiple other books at DC with queer characters and/or creatives) so i can only imagine what an awful day she's having

outrageously enough, dc actually sent out a followup email to stores demanding they pull the book from shelves specifically to keep people from being able to do this

my conclusion this morning was that it would've had to be a single person in a high enough position to unilaterally announce this and offer refunds without asking anybody for permission, so i'm glad to see you drew a similar conclusion

Strong suggestion that when you speak out about how @dc.com
Is transphobic and getting played by comicsg@te, tag the official dc comics account so they see it. (I tagged the wrong handle before)

you are such a fucking embarrassment

realizing that according to the reporting that this was sent out before midnight -- so someone with the power to unilaterally order refunds on already-paid books made this call after hours. idk about DC's corporate structure but very curious now how high up that'd have to be

feel like i'm gonna be awake all night now

this friggin game!

choosing to believe they said oreganospice dot busky dot social out loud in this interaction

Rochester

fuck yeah

in addition to all erotic content being shadowbanned from search, some adult games are getting fully delisted, disabling their store pages and downloads bsky.app/profile/quin...

@itch.io why are you nuking all adult content on your site in the middle of the night without warning anyone or telling us why you're doing it

a screenshot showing that snowcorpse necromancy, malcatras' maiden, DIVINE DESPAIR DEVIANCE, and hopeless junction were all banned by itchio on nadia nova's page

update: no fewer than four of Nadia Nova's games were banned

do you know of anywhere where people are tracking titles that have been fully removed?

punting on 2nd and 3 at the opponent’s 20 is something we will never ever see in football, because if a coach was trying to throw a game there are many more subtle ways of doing so. this is probably the closest thing to that we’re likely to see

did the guy post his listing or did someone just blessedly run into this in the wild

the democrats staying neutral in primaries is an interesting idea, fascinating that you only just thought of it now that someone left of Reagan is trying to actually shift the party

yeah, like: the NYT sucks shit and calling it transphobic as an institution is simply and clearly true. also, getting people to swear off old institutions that have rotted is a process involving a lot of elbow grease. we're gonna have a lot of these to work on.

that is an absolutely wild decision, good lord

fair enough. definitely wasn't close to everyone and i'm sure a lot of people's memories of it are the evening news replaying the footage over and over instead

TV Brought the Trauma to Classroom Millions It was the classroom lesson no one had anticipated.

tons of people did actually watch it live tho because "the first teacher in space" was a big deal and the govt made a big push for schools to show it. the insistence this didn't happen is just kinda weird. and they were calling it "trauma" in this piece from 1986 even

Any Member of Parliament who does not actively work towards passing primary legislation to protect the rights of trans and nonbinary people should be considered to be taking a stand against us.

There is no neutral. Inaction is oppression.

Statements of support or solidarity are worthless.

actually ICE has been engaging in this precise practice since well before Trump 1 with similar lack of concern for things like "US citizenship" and "identifying the correct person" so without the pressure of the people demanding to eliminate ICE it absolutely would have still happened under Kamala

i mean i approve of this... obviously
