BBC News straight up admitting that if they name their Gaza reporters they'll be taken out is quite the move.

Even though it’s hella niche, I have never had more fun in a costume than as Giant Turtle Man 🤣
I really gotta get back into the cosplay & convention saddle, I miss it.

I was going through some old Jimmy Olsen art folders today and I stumbled upon these amazing cosplay photos of @artsortment.bsky.social.

It’s a Canon A1! Snagged it at Central Camera Company in downtown Chicago 7ish years ago & have a lot of fun with it whenever I bring it out (which isn’t nearly as often as I’d like).

The specific phrasing needs workshopping, but idk, it feels like maybe mimicking their scare tactic rhetoric style to point out the obvious flaw in the logic could be useful. 🤷🏼
And I bet it’s make some of ‘em think twice if they got a rude reminder that trans men exist.

Ok, just spitballing here, but what if we got some of the burliest & butchest trans masc public figures to agree to be on billboards in red states & DC that said something like “Republicans want me in women’s bathrooms, just because a doctor said I was a girl when I was born.”

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

As a former child junior olympic-level runner, I have a few thoughts on the attacks on trans girls in sports. I ran for one of the most competitive teams in Southern California, and people who ran for my have gone on to become professional athletes. And these bans: they're fucking NONSENSE. 🧵

Less than 10% of people vote in local elections, which are often decided by less than 100 votes. Your vote matters SO MUCH when it comes to deciding who runs your municipality, township, and county.

Please vote! They wouldn’t be trying to stop people from voting if it didn’t matter.

listen i would love to be able to go to a con ever again but if ventilation standards don't get improved that's like. basically never happening 🫠
In the wake of @bigbadcon.bsky.social's 2025 hiatus announcement, I discuss something I think we need to start expecting from #TTRPG conventions: significantly better ventilation.
