RE my last repost: "Oh, so you love criminals" is absolutely a misdirect and a trap. And also, if someone says that to me, my answer is yes, in part because there is no difference between the person I am today and the criminal I may become tomorrow.
I got to deliver a talk on the history and legacy of the Hays Code and the Comics Code, contemporary censorship efforts, and the necessity of identifying with criminality. You can watch and read the whole thing here:

so in the 5 months since, i started a new (hiking-related) job, made friends for life in my new housemates, grew out my hair, came out to friends and family, publicly dropped my deadname, and finally, most importantly, hrt has given me a visible chest and a fat ass.
things do get better.

just drained today. weeks and weeks, and months and months of *almost* getting a job. it’s exhausting, and embarrassing.
i don’t have answers for my family. i don’t have a way forward. rejection after rejection chips away at you- how am i supposed to love myself when no one wants to hire me?!?

i'm sure it's been said but the murderbot diaries show casting a cis white dude in the titular role fundamentally misunderstands the vibe of the books

i’ve already called and contacted your office in other ways, but I’ll say it again:
As one of your constituents, I am intensely disappointed, and will vote against you in the upcoming primary. We need someone who will fight for us, not kowtow and roll over.

i’m just finishing up a rewatch, and forgot about the stolen election plot line… so you probably aren’t wrong to worry (I’d say still go for it though, it holds up!)

I made this comic a few months ago, in collaboration with an expert named Tommy Tucker. I can't believe that it's immediately out of date because it refers to the Gulf of Mexico.

see the thing is when you erase us from kids’ entertainment, you’re telling trans kids
that they don’t get to be in that world
that they don’t get be in those stories
that they’re not important
that they’re not real
and you better believe that contributes to all the pain society puts them through

Incredibly disappointed in Disney and Pixar’s decision to bow to the shittiest people. Trans kids deserve representation, and they exist whether “many parents” want to discuss the subject or not. www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/d...

The original animated show about a co-ed high school team debuts on Disney+ in February.
