I think about stuff sometimes.
Pinned
Lifes to short to not enjoy what we love.
Passion is what drives and fulfils us.
We should never fear exploring and realising who we are inside.
Never allow others superficial notions of being correct to chain us down from our true selves.

News from Sweden; the far right wing party SwedenDemocrats (SD) are pushing the classic fearmongering anti-trans agenda.
Heavily implying that "they" are coming after the kids, in the same breath as equating legislation better enabling transitioning to enabling criminal activity.

Cis allies loudly declaring support also helps push back on one of the main goals of the anti trans movement, convincing the world that hating trans people is Normal
Every random cis person going "well duh i'm chill with trans people who isn't" means that idea can't spread

not to invalidate my trans siblings but, personally, cis allies loudly declaring support for us right now does help keep despair at bay even if it changes nothing. I don’t care how you phrase it, how clumsy. Please be there for/with us, loudly. It fights the voices that scream everyone hates us.

For all eternity, this image needs to be spammed each time Harry Potter is mentioned anywhere for any reason: Joanne Rowling, smoking a cigar and sipping expensive drinks on top of her mountain of money, gloating about how she helped destroy the rights of her fellow citizens.

I wrote about the disturbing resurgence of the R-word -- seemingly Elon Musk's favorite word -- and how it fits in with the politics of cruelty.
A recent study out of Montclair State University found that the use of the slur triples on X when Musk tweets it.

Elon Musk Has Brought 'The R-Word' Back — And It's Part Of A Disturbing New Trend
It fits in with a "politics of cruelty" that's been running rampant in the White House.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games!
Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI.
You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:-

I never thought that a sketch I drew in just a few minutes would elicit such a response.
I still have lots of sketches like this in my sketchbook that were done in just a few minutes.
If you are interested, I will continue to post it little by little.

Just a short time ago the anti-trans argument was based in unfounded narratives of mass regret.
Now… since that narrative has been handily disproven, they have just moved on to stating trans people should not exist. The anti-trans crowd have stopped pretending to be “good people”.

This Hannah Arendt quote feels appropriate right now
"Totalitarianism in power invariably replaces all first-rate talents, regardless of their sympathies, with those crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity is still the best guarantee of their loyalty."
