Lost in the Fog puzzles was mostly fine though. Only had to look up the solution to one of them, and many of them actually made more sense on Lost in the Fog than they did on Hard

a New Game+ completion save file showing the Silent Hill f has been beaten on "Lost in the Fog", the highest available difficulty, for both Action and Puzzle difficulty settings.

well that was entirely unreasonable as a challenge! I feel very satisfied having pulled it off and definitely do not recommend anyone else do it lmao. It's actually pretty fun for a lot of it but some of the enemies, especially the Pregnancy monster and the final bosses, are too much

Three questions:

1) Why was it possible for him to do this?

2) Why have her fellow House Democrats said nothing about this?

3) What is the plan for applying consequences to this filth?

Fun fact: The ECU actually used the phrase โ€œtrans identityโ€, not โ€œtrans ideologyโ€, and, in editing that quote, this BBC article about a presenter expressing anti-trans views breaching editorial guidelines has itself breached editorial guidelines. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Ok I guess, but you better get comfortable, this is going to take a while.

The fact that the global trans panic is helmed by conservatives who believe in the subjugation of women being a natural consequence of biology should have maybe been a clue

Two posts asking whether university administrators have thought about the consequences of purchasing and promoting AI for college campuses given a well documented college mental health crisis, and pointing out that university investment and endorsement may signal to students that dangerous technology is safe and beneficial

since chatgpt has coached another young person in a mental health crisis to their death, I am yet again tapping the sign

I hope the good ending of Silent Hill f is also that Hinako moves to New York and finds love with a trans woman

Using they/them to refer to Hinako in the alt text bc there's some softening of the full on "I hate girls! I want to be a boy!" statement of their younger self. Kinda reminds me of the main character of Stone Butch Blues, weirdly? Not a point of reference I was expecting in any video game tbh...

A flashback to a memory of Hinako, around age 5, after they were rejected by the "other" girls for playing with boys. They say "I hate girls! I don't wanna be a girl!"

I feel pretty much the same way about the version of me before transition as I do the childhood version of me before being an adult. I'm obviously very different, but that sort of difference is an almost universal experience compared to one's past. Only the most stunted people do not change with age

โ€œbiological pronounsโ€ is probably the most โ€œyeah we know that gender/sex is socially constructed but weโ€™re gonna continue to cruelly enforce it anyway.โ€ shit iโ€™ve seen in a while ngl. completely fucked

Yes and yet several European countries are embracing a far-right worldview that would burn these policies to the ground, so letโ€™s be not be smug or complacent here - particularly as Mamdaniโ€˜s pro-immigration stance is radical by European standards.

One of the things I've absolutely loved about getting to write RCBG is portraying trans lesbian life as rich and multifaceted---not always shiny, happy, and full of joy, nor a relentless slog of misery and bravery and inspiration porn, but messy and human and authentic, you know?

Ugh saw that rapey guy from a few days ago pop up in the live comments in a youtube video of a Silent Hill f stream. desperately trying not to think about what he probably feels wrt the game's content. I would actually like to just forget he ever existed tbh

Any trans person or trans-adjacent cis person who entertains the idea of speaking with the NYT needs to ask themselves if theyโ€™d sit down with a reporter from Der Stรผrmer in 1934.

I'm seeing reports that "rude" is one of the labels that defaults not just to "warn" but to "hide", which is bonkers.

Be sure to go through the immediately visible labels, the ones where you have to click the "Bluesky moderation" labeler, _and_ the special "adult content" checkbox.

06.11.2025 17:08 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 22    ๐Ÿ” 11    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 2

So the thing about the Bluesky "Rude" label is that this single label has two different semantics, one of which is useful for content labeling, one of which is not:

- "This user chronically responds to other people's posts with negativity."
- "This user opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq"

at the time i was like โ€œno, in the US we have press freedom so they just say what they meanโ€ and she scolded me (with the same tone she used when she said i was too skinny, so she was very concerned)

nowadays i think about that exchange regularly (and wonder how i should apologize to and thank her)

when i was a 16yo studying abroad in china my host mother once asked me about an article i was reading in the nytimes. she first asked what it said, then she asked what it actually meant. i was very confused and she explained that obvi you have to read btwn the lines bc the newspaper lies

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appรฉtit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee.

I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

I know what you're thinking: How did Bee allow us to add RCBG, a story about totally cis men* taking oestrogen for an underground competition?

The answer is that what we lack in yuri**, we make up for in unfiltered toxicity: infidelity, public humiliation, hatefucking, broken hearts, and more!
