My friends call me Kate (pronouns: She/Her), and I'm a lifelong Trekkie and Star Wars fan. I enjoy movies, TV, and comic books, and I also write fanfiction. I'd be posting more fandom stuff if the world wasn't going to heck.

Especially since most survivors are reaching the end of their lives. Their experiences cannot be forgotten - or erased, as it seems like something the current anti-American president would try to do.
OPINION: "Nothing will ever truly replace the voices of the survivors, but I believe teachers and communities can carry on his work by making history feel local and personal," Chad Gibbs writes.

If WBD is actually going forward with selling to Paramount for real this time, this will easily be worse than the fiascos surrounding Batgirl, Coyote vs. ACME, and the NBA deal combined given who's running the latter company now.

Trump tried everything possible to create riots in Los Angeles, Portland and Chicago and failed. Even had film crews in tow to create propaganda videos.
Instead they got peaceful resistance and observers. Upped ante in Minnesota hoping for George Floyd murder response.
Failed again. Miserably.

"Elon Musk is a white supremacist" is an objectively 100% true statement that most mainstream outlets wouldn't allow to be said without hedging or qualification even in an opinion piece.
i think you can judge how free - or not - our political media is by the fact that elon musk literally did a sieg heil (twice) at a rally and it’s still seen as uncouth and overly partisan (in legacy media) to describe his politics as straightforwardly white supremacist.

It was Trans people and Star Trek Deep Space Nine, from what I recall.
Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.
Jack Dorsey *left* when instead of weird and off-putting cryptonerds, trans people started hanging out here.

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)
