A Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin’s dad is going to read him a bedtime story. First panel: Calvin’s dad, scanning a bookshelf: “What story would you like tonight? We can read anything except—“ Calvin, from bed, excited: “The Voynich Manuscript!” Second panel: Calvin’s dad, deeply exasperated: “NO! No Voynich Manuscript tonight! We’ve tried to decipher that book a million times!” Calvin, yelling: “I want the Voynich Manuscript!” Third panel: Calvin’s dad, trying to reason with him: “Look, you *know* how the story goes! You’ve memorized the whole thing! It’s completely unreadable!” Calvin: “I want mysterious glyphs and sigils!” Fourth panel: Calvin, in bed and staring wide-eyed into the dark: “Wow, the story was different *that* time!” Hobbes, also in bed and staring: (a long string of incomprehensible characters).

I’ve seen so many people dunking on MAGA folks for suggesting Bad Bunny ought to be deported, or on ICE for saying they will be present at the Super Bowl. They say “Puerto Rico is part of the United States, dumbasses!“

This isn’t helpful. 🧵

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

Haha yeah the game is gay as hell. And narrated by a famous lesbian if there was still any question.

It's kind of a trip revisiting queer media that you originally encountered before transitioning. Like, the first time I played Sayonara Wild Hearts, I thought it was about a breakup with some dude. And Steven Universe was a *completely* different experience (spoiler: a lot more crying)

Trans healthcare trolley problem An unknown number of trans people have been tied to one of the train tracks, while a runaway trolley is set to roll down the empty track, saving the trans people. However, that guy over there might voluntarily walk onto the train track. Do you pull the lever, sacrificing the trans people to protect that one guy from possibly making a mistake?
