i've known a lot of people who justified their interaction with harry potter media/rowling's intellectual property despite her transphobia because it was such a big part of their childhood...

sooo where do they stand on JK rowling's potential role in destroying countless childhoods, i wonder

Here's the Tom Jennings post on Mastodon, with an extra anecdote about Stacy:

HAGS in Your Face - Believer Magazine Throughout most of the 1990s my evenings were split between working at a nonprofit call center where I bummed money off strangers for good causes, and getting drunk and dancing at any of San Francisco...

A lovely (but sad and complicated) story of The HAGS, a dyke gang in San Francisco.

www.thebeliever.net/hags-in-your...

Shared by Tom Jennings, who was once a housemate of (HAGS member and L7 roadie) Stacy Quijas.

Stacy's legs (with L7 logo tattoo) are on the PRETEND WE'RE DEAD single's artwork.

Alas, a few years too early for the Transmeta Crusoe CPU.

Drop "sir" "madam" "lady" etc because they are offensive, sexist & outdated. Headline is an example of rage baiting, when it's not just an initiative for trans ppl, but better for everyone. Certainly better for women to drop sexist terms defined by marriage status and assumed relationship to a man.

You leftists claim to support immigrant rights yet you will not see a movie made by the immigrant Melania Trump. Typical hypocrisy

The Ethicist | I missed my chance to report my annoying co-worker for insufficiently mourning Charlie Kirk. Can I now report her for failing to watch the Melania documentary?

He left his home the week before

He thought he'd be like the police

But now he finds he is at war

Weren't we supposed to keep the peace?

Ah, sorry to hear that. Get better soon!

“I wore a dangly chain connected to my wallet, which was the style at the time.”

On a road trip across California more than 10 years ago on my holidays, I stopped for supplies at a mall. There was a shop called Journeys near a Hot Topic. They had wallet chains on clearance, so I bought a clear dice one and an 8-Ball one. I took the middle links out and made short wallet chains.

The Homan League

As Donald the Dove sends only human Homan to synthesize peace in Minnesota, Greg Bovino is left asking don't you want me baby? Honestly, a waitress in a cocktail bar could do a better job than either of these clowns.

I guess it turns out some of these guys actually DID care, and a president saying "You can't have guns" was actually the thing they were waiting to hear, to understand tyranny is happening.

THE DILDO DISTRIBUTION DELEGATION The revolution did not arrive with speeches, pamphlets, or a carefully moderated Zoom call about optics.

OK, maybe I was being too harsh on Smash (but I had never heard of themn prior to this). According to the linked thread, they are French, so they're probably not going to do a rug pull {le shrug}.

Our country has descended into fascism. Some critics think that that’s unfortunate.

Happy story from Mastodon:

mastodon.social/@mhoye/11586...

"They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.

Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.

Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time."
