If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

I really want to push back on the idea that people who flee the state where they live because of anti-trans laws are privileged because they were able to leave these are fucking refugees they are internally displaced people I have seen some of the most broke people

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I… actually never created a paper trail of my transition legally for this reason. I had a gut feeling governments may discriminate against us that way

''Ermmm it's unprofessional to talk about ''politics'', you'll lose followers!''

Oh shit my bad, here let me say this instead-
Fuck ICE
Fuck MAGA
Free Palestine
Trans rights
Black lives matter

I could give two fucks if people unfollow, i'm not here to surround myself by bigots.

Of all the things I could be locked up for, if it winds up for being owning a copy of 'My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness' I will be completely unrepentant.

I know this is like, “eww squick” it wouldn’t hurt me, but this basically bans the first episode of Game of Thrones, a significant amount of Greek mythology, and every open fanfiction website on the planet. And I wouldn’t trust an authoritarian govt with “nuance” about what is art and what is porn.

Are you like... AI scraping posts to try and hawk a book or something? Who are you lol

Pink Floyd's Surround Urself With Transgender Furries is my favorite album.

if steam is asking developers to put in an AI-generated content disclosure, i should be able to filter those "games" out of searches because trudging through next fest demos is miserable now

What you idiot commies don’t understand is that if we tax rich people they will JUST LEAVE, depriving our nation of tax cheats, political bribery, and national acts of perversion

every high profile anti trans critic has an origin story that goes "years ago someone asked me to respect trans people and instead I chose to go insane"

These people never grapple with the reality that the right not only outspends trans people 20:1 but they also control social media algorithms and many legacy media institutions.

They never ask the questions why public opinion changed and why certain issues are so central to the debate.

Had to have *the talk* with another supervisor at one of my last workplaces because he asked me (mysteriously knowledgeable about the recently come out girl in our section)
"So are they a futa or a trap" just... Right up in the middle of the workday. Shits tiring lol

I need 'feminist' retellings to stop doing that specific thing where the narrator says stuff like 'in the world of men they say [x y z misogynistic things] about me but actually [girlboss things]', unless the twist is really good and fresh like 'actually King Arthur was always a woman' or some shit.

Like this. "You must strategically abandon the specific issues that the right has rendered toxic & focus on others."

But then ... why wouldn't the right just be able to do the same thing on those other issues?

"Can I get a queer fiction anthology with no body horror, no non-consensual sex, and no straight up pornography?"

"Hey Tony, gimme a queer fiction anthology with nuttin"

A Dem that runs as pro trans gets a SIXTY ONE POINT BUMP WITH DEM VOTERS and a NINE POINT BUMP WITH INDIES over ones that go silent.

The failure to get this is a prior beliefs/incentives problem but it's also a research problem. The current establishment's understanding of voters is utterly cooked.

Please, if you’re able, help my girlfriend have a safe and comfortable bottom surgery recovery :>

An illustration of a gyaru mech with pink, gold, and leopard print colors and gyaru stickers and leg warmers. Alongside it is an illustration of its pilot, a gyaru woman in a skintight pilot suit matching the mech's colors with fuzzy pink leg warmers and a fuzzy pink jacket.

so we've got gyaru landsknecht but where's all the gyaru mecha and their matching pilots??

"We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend" goes so fucking hard holy shit

The Queer Games Bundle is officially disbanding. There will not be another bundle this year. Thank you for your support over the years.

Please continue to help each other. A community can only exist if it helps each other survive in a meaningful way.

Read our final statements here:

When Terry Pratchett died it struck me that our door to the world inside his mind was forever closed. Other people could write Discworld books of course, but they would be their own interpretation - not bad but inherently different. I realised each human mind is a unique, limited resource

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Fucking disaster incoming. Because the only solution to "ensuring safety" is by eliminating the world's most common safety tool (being visible/social enough that *someone* can get you help). I hope revolt or stoat or whatever the hell comes next can stay indie.

An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"
