BTW it is EXTREMELY common for academic papers to declare Lara Croft the first playable female game character (a very easy fact to debunk). As a grad student I wrote a paper that traced every appearance of this "fact" to a single paper, which is why you don't only engage with academic texts!!

this only makes sense if you think trans people aren’t human or if you think being trans is a luxury belief and a choice that any of us could walk away from at anytime, this is the fascist cultural victory we’re dealing with

thanks again to everyone who has pitched in so far to help my girl, any amount helps relieve some of the stress. there are a couple other ways to help her in the thread if you still want to and are able. please don't put yourself out.

Instead of hate reading some nonsense essay about gender by some very hateable fella, you could read my book full of essays that are also about gender, and labour, and death, and addiction, and music, but in a much more curious and much more fun way

One of the main reasons I don't use AI is that you have to fact-check every single thing it gives you and by the time I do that, I could have just done the research myself.

The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain
YouTube video by Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) The Gender Politics of Abandoning Your Girlfriend on a Mountain

"Man convicted of manslaughter after girlfriend dies hiking in winter storm" sounds insane until you get into the details.

He put an inexperienced hiker into harm's way despite explicit warnings and waved away numerous attempts to rescue her! The punishment was too lax here, not too severe.

are you allowed to do one big blur or is it a bunch of dildo-sized ones? (either way, condolences)

Sorry, gonna be reposting this one a bit. TLDR: found out my dog has cancer in the process of figuring out the source of her limp and it's going to cost me somewhere in the vicinity of $5-6k to take care of both presuming that she does not need chemo too. So yeah, I need help if possible.

comedy is legal again
YouTube video by Cinema Survivors comedy is legal again

Two original IP's are currently taking over the world (Heated Rivalry) and the original comedy 'Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie'.

They seem like near impossible pieces of media in a corporate structure but they were actually made with public funds!
