people think moby dick is a stern adventure novel heavy on the plot. i can't emphasize how much it's not. it's supergay chaos with 3 plot points. there's an entire chapter that's just a chowder recipe. sometimes it turns into a play. the main character is covered in whale dinension tattoos.
finally reading moby dick. why didn't anyone tell me that it's good

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

So many modern fandoms seem to believe that characters who have experienced suffering are owed a happy/comfortable ending, and it's morally repugnant if they don't get one. I think this is anti-art! I don't agree that it's the responsibility of fiction to make sure everyone gets what they deserve.

If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

www.popsci.com/science/tran...
First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

Look I dunno I am not trying to toot my own horn or promote on the back of hardship but today is a real rough day for trans folks and we have a new short out featuring our 2 Trans leads sharing a tender moment and finding solidarity with each other and I hope it can bring a little joy today
In the latest update of BLADE MAIDENS...

In the first of a three-part short, Eldridge and Rowan share a quiet moment and some COMMON GROUND.

The whole short is available at www.blademaidens.com right now, with the other two pages being posted here tomorrow and Saturday.

Thank you to everyone who called today. I know calling feels useless sometimes. But without these calls, even more Ds might have folded and the future would become even worse. This isn't the only way we fight, but these calls still matter.
This is just five minutes. Please watch this and share it with anyone you think might be moved by it. And then call your US rep and tell them to vote AGAINST all of the anti-trans bills Republicans are pushing this week. Find your rep at reps.fyi
the full speech is something to see & is one of the reasons it is good to have a trans member of congress

@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder.

Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

Every trans person--including every trans child--deserves the chance to be fully themselves. I'm so sick of seeing trans folks harmed repeatedly and unrelentingly, against all reason and scientific precedent. To my trans friends--I'm so sorry the world keeps trying to dim your light.
