People went from "but what if there was a GOOD guy with a gun" to "what if there was a GOOD guy that hates homeless people" and didn't stop at the obvious contradiction. so yeah enjoy the pragmatism I guess?

This is exactly--and I mean exactly--how Holocaust deniers have long discredited the Final Solution being a concerted effort & high-level order. "The Jews in the camps all died of typhoid outbreaks"

Genuinely this is one of the first times I can remember where a bunch of people standing up for trans people and saying, very firmly, that we are part of the LGBT community and deserve inclusion like...worked

nice to see :3

Graham Linehan ruined his own life by walking down a path of hatred but forgetting to first become a billionaire writing beloved children’s books and THEN walking down a path of hatred

And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.

"I find myself troubled by Mamdani’s ties to Uganda" ok well I find myself troubled by my ties to America but unfortunately I was also not in control of where I was born

I’m back! I saw your messages on here & elsewhereβ€”thank you all <3. I’m deeply disappointed in @bsky.app moderation; equating pushback against people like JKR with the harm they cause to trans ppl only enables more violence. I’ll talk more soon but even a day away from social media has been healthy.

Don't call it a Substack. - Anil Dash A blog about making culture. Since 1999.

It’s weird to me that people keep starting new Substacks and still don’t know that Substack is extremely bad news

Please get off Substack 😭

Keyed-up cops and military told to "subdue crime" in a place where there is not actually that much crime will be more likely to view any and all actions *As Crimes* in order to meet the expectations they hold, and certain people they've been taught to view as inherently criminal will bear the brunt.

I deeply hate the way that corporations have forced genAI into every corner of tech, but nothing makes me more annoyed than when I'm trying to read a game rulebook PDF or a contract and this fucking pop-up appears

The River Spirit by Gigantic Spider Games A solo-journaling TTRPG about hometowns, spirits, and sacrifice

I’ll plug my own game The River Spirit! You write journal entries and make a map of your hometown, then at the end of the game you drop water on them as you sacrifice your memories to end a drought

Very important to note the youth curfews people having been rightfully flagging as horrible were already in place. That’s Mayor Bowser. Not Trump.

Let’s keep this energy after we’ve kicked the feds out.

God, looking up whether there’s been a new season (yes in 2023, I only watched the first 2 seasons) introduced me to Lovers & Liars, the gender reversed version

It's been so fun channeling all the ridiculous and intense personalities I've met doing theater in high school and undergrad, and I hope all theater kids/adults out there feel (perhaps uncomfortably) seen in this LARP.

I know I do...

It's a chaotic LARP that sees you taking on more roles than you can handle, juggling more than you can hold, and biting off more than you can chew! Mix and match roles to create a method-acting Hamlet who is also the Lighting Designer, or a King Claudius/Stagehand in over their head

60 Minutes to Curtain by Gigantic Spider Games A game about a disastrous opening night and the role(s) you'll play in it

Published and submitted my entry to the Dice Exploder 1 Hour or Less Jam: gigantic-spider-games.itch.io/60-minutes-t...

In 60 Minutes to Curtain, a chaotic community theater company has exactly that much time to get a disastrous musical adaptation of Hamlet ready for opening night.

So, I checked the Instagram locations thing, and... Yeah. It's bad. Like... down to the exact building bad.

View your profile, hit the 3 bars for the settings, then scroll down and go to "Story, live and location" to turn off sharing. Then go into your app setting and deny location access.

Harry Potter gays are traitors and should be bullied out of the community. They've had enough time to understand why supporting JKR leads to the direct harm of transfolk. There is not LGBT without the T. You cannot abandon us for your nostalgia. Its fucking evil.

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.
