RPGs, books, and occasionally something spicy. High-tech lowlife. Queer as in fuck you.

Just going to note, regarding "political violence" that three and a half years ago, Trump was encouraging a mob of people who wanted to hang his own VP.

Okay. I am probably going to regret wading into this again, but The Discourse about child protection issues on Bluesky has escalated to the point where people are making extremely serious accusations against the head of Bluesky T&S, and y'all need to stop. It is unhinged QAnon batshittery.

Reskeet how old your are, using a vague proxy. When I got my first truck, regular unleaded gas was 65 cents a gallon.

So many normal people are TIRED of the influx of out and proud stark raving assholes that Trump spent almost a decade cultivating. Lots of normal people desperately want those screeching antisocial baboons to be frightened back into their piss-scented caves, and just need someone to lead the way.

Charlie Kirk saying the quiet part out loud again: the reason the GOP supported KOSA was to try to use red state AGs to go after LGBTQ voices. He's now mad that the bill has pared that back (only slightly).

For the last few weeks I've been working with Chris Barkley @cmzhang42.bsky.social of @file770.bsky.social on a report about censorship in the 2023 Hugo Awards. Leaked emails and files indicate authors and works deemed “not eligible” for the awards were removed due to political considerations. 1/3

this is a success rate that basically *doesn't exist* for medical interventions in any rational world this would be the end of any argument about HRT or transition generally but the cruelty is the point, not the actual data

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

just to be 100% clear on something: the people making these threats, and the culture fostering them, are far bigger problems for american democracy than judges straightforwardly applying the constitution and state laws. and caving to them isn't protecting democracy, it's just being a fucking coward

If Levar Burton wants to fistfight you, something in your life has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

Sorry Levar Burton saying he was about to throw hands makes him more gangster & cooler not less.

We think of trauma as being linked to personal development and becoming a better person. It turns out trauma just traumatizes you. It just creates hurt people.

My one creative writing professor in college told the class that science fiction wasn't real literature and he didn't want to see any for the class, which is why I have never once written a science fiction story since

Weird how right after folks started posting invite codes in the open to spite people saying “Hey, don’t post invite codes in the open, bad actors grab them to start their bullshit here en masse” we got a wave of Pepe Frog Avatars speaking German that love Nordic runes. Sure that’s not related.

End of feed.
