Bunch of the reddest and maddest dudes in the history of online seeing the vast and subtle American empire and screaming THAT'S PUSSY SHIT before tearing it all to pieces so they can be A Real Man
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

I reread A WRINKLE IN TIME, I don't think I fully appreciated the core lesson of "your parents will fail you, but you know who will always love you? Those weird lesbians down the street" when was 10.
Though, clearly it has stuck with me.

For instance: @itsviviactually.bsky.social made a single BlueSky post about my novel and three people bought it within 20 minutes, more than have bought it in the past few months, when I had left BlueSky. (Thank you, Viv!)

It's fascinating that Li'l Abner's enduring cultural impact is probably the Sadie Hawkins Dance, which is itself a kind of antiquated concept and also no one knows it (sort of) comes from a comic strip
Li'l Abner made it onto The Comics Journal's top 100 comics of the 20th Century list when scholars and writers and cartoonists were surveyed in 1999, but would it make the top hundred if you revisited that era? Would it make anyone's top hundred all-time anymore?

We call this shot "That Good Shit"
It’s arguably the earliest spider film I’ve seen, and it’s good level-setting for the typical use of them
Most of the time, they’re just there to be alarming. Think of all the times you’ve seen an establishing shot where a tarantula is sitting on a skull or something

I can HEAR this thread
Strong Bad the kinda guy that Strong Sad would come out to as trans, and he'd instantly and effortlessly switch pronouns while still treating her like garbage most of the time, but decking Homestar in the face for casually misgendering her once.

So, there was this one web forum I spent a lot of time on in the '00s and '10s, right? And the off-topic subforum developed a particular culture of dogpiling
Someone would say something ridiculous, often in an otherwise innocuous thread, and we were off to the races

How much time ya got?
We’re talking about spiders in films!
(No images, for the sake of my phobic moots)*
*I reserve the right to show @telstarman.bsky.social all the spiders, because we’re like the EC comics couples who always plot each others’ destruction

World's on fire but at least we can be trusted to turn on each other like rats in a sack
I'm glad everyone banded together to preserve free speech and kink rights by *checks notes* harassing a trans woman until she deactivated her account.

My insurance has just parted ways with Mt. Sinai, which is where I've been going for HRT for the last almost-decade. If any trans folks have recs for NYC providers who take BCBS Anthem, I would be very grateful.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Until we learn why generations of women keep swapping between "I hate restrictive modesty, I wanna be a liberated slut!" and "I hate extreme sexualization, I wish my boundaries could be respected and modesty sounds neat", we will not escape feminist samsara.
