He/him and not annoyed by whatever your own pronouns are. Books, movies, comics, sci-fi, horror, mystery, whatever pops into my head.

I don't trust either party. But only one is *actively* campaigning on making the world more dangerous for anyone not white, anyone who can get pregnant, gay folks, trans folks, etc. And those are the things their base is getting riled up about more than anything.

This might sound to some people like an exaggeration. It's really, really not.

Let's be clear: Who gets to be considered fully human is what's at stake this election. We can have reasonable disagreements about government regulations and taxes, but we cannot have a reasonable disagreement about whether everyone is entitled to be treated as equally human.

Trump-Vance isn't designed to win over more voters, but ensure the next coup attempt proceeds more smoothly

The Republican Party has nominated a man for Vice President who says he would have ended American democracy if he’d had that role in 2021. abcnews.go.com/Politics/jd-...

A piece of shit. Next question.

Who is Trump’s vice president pick, JD Vance?

I reluctantly acknowledge there is a fair amount of truth in this.

I understand the impulse behind "You shouldn't work at an evil organization," but a) change from the inside is always possible, b) most people don't have the luxury of choosing which jobs to work, c) everybody pays taxes to governments which do bad things, so everyone's hands are dirty.

Are we really so sure that washing machines make individual socks disappear? What if they're actually giving us additional used socks one at a time?

Larry Hama basically created GI Joe, providing not only the names and character bios for Hasbro, but nearly all of the truly great stories for the characters. In a just world that would have paid his way for life 😔

With all the comic news yesterday I feel like this got ignored. Larry Hama has been struggling with medical problems and, from what I’ve gathered, still really depends on gigs to survive financially. His ability to draw is being taken away. He’s a living legend and badass. Deserves better.

Not really a subskeet, just an observation: There's a distinct feeling that accompanies seeing a reskeet pop up on your timeline and immediately knowing without looking who put it there.

Bread AND circuses? In THIS economy?

Top notch idea. Many fantasy/history writers love to do hands-on research for skills and would probably love a weekend or weeklong getaway where they could do something like this and have it be a tax write-off besides.

I would LOVE to partner with a ranch and host a How To Write Horses for (Fantasy/History) Writers where you learn all the horse terms and horse care and also get to learn to ride a bit and pet ponies and workshop.

It's important to note that in France, yes, a fascist majority was prevented, but they still doubled their presence in parliament. The fascists didn't stay home. They went & voted. It's just that enough decent people showed up to beat them back to a significant degree (& make them cry). SHOW UP.

It's nice to make art for yourself and your friends and your community and maybe no one else. It's nice to make art for the joy it brings to you and maybe a few others if you want. That's plenty.

DS9 is the horniest Star Trek (complimentary). Enterprise is the horniest Star Trek (derogatory).

Good plan.

Why the hell are so many members of the media using soft language like "the changing legal landscape"? That's like covering 9/11 and headlining it as "the changing New York skyline."

i think we really need to normalise asking "what does sex look like for you?" instead of just making assumptions and going off vibes during hookups and stuff
