If they’re on the list then they’re not my favorite anything anymore.

This isn’t hard.
"What if one of YOUR favorite politicians/celebrities/etc is on the list?" Did you all not notice how quickly we dropped Neil Gaiman when we found out about the things he did? Do you know how beloved that guy used to be and how loathed he is now? I think that right there should answer your question.

Alright, show of hands: how many $500k earners do I know who are wasting the government's money by taking Obamacare Cadillac plans on steep subsidy?

Alright, show of hands: How many 20-year-old prospective homebuyers do I know who are so confident in where they want to live/work that they can't wait for a Trump 50-year mortgage to pay until retirement and give lenders ungodly interest?

I'm not sure whether I should blame @sloanysoft.itch.io for making as large and diverse a collectathon as BubbleBack, or (twitch/)tinytim78 for streaming the heck out of it lately, but I made the mistake of Googling the Dugga Doo room and now IT WILL NOT LEAVE MY HEAD HALP! Follow them maybe.

New games weren't scarce in the 90s, but you could've easily played most of the hits. Now there's so many masterpieces that everyone has their personal endless backlog of amazing content.

AI slop shouldn't be able to thrive in a market bursting with so many human-made, genuine banger pieces of art.

I follow several folks who were there and had a far shittier time than they might have otherwise for the cited reasons. If you're in/with a group or venue who can second this call, hell yeah.
I spent my birthday playing in a @lymanstaverndc.bsky.social monthly 2 years ago and it, along with every time I've been there, has been a great experience.

It warms my heart to see them standing alongside us. They're seriously good people, check them out.

This is so heartbreaking and fucked up on so many levels. Cancer has taken so much from Bex, and they need all the help they can get.

Roommates can't keep covering for them on bills, and landlord also needs rent from them because landlord's spouse is dealing with their own health issues.
HELP THEM
if you can spare anything,

i am behind on utilities & need medication.

i also need the last bit to be able to start radiation therapy. (see ko-fi goal)

even the things that are cheaper relative to 2000 prices are also (a) lower quality, requiring more frequent replacement or repair, (b) proportionally a higher percentage of whatever money you have leftover after healthcare, food, housing, etc., or (c) subscriptions rather than ownership
Pretty much all affordability discourse could benefit from just posting this chart.

If you're in the better off America, all the luxury goods you want in excess are for the most part much cheaper. If you're in the poorer America, most of the shit you need to live/grow is more expensive.

you know we used to have to do at least a little work to prove the connection between racism and transphobia
Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Riley's Law, from Trash Future Podcast: "once you start posting transphobia, you never go back to posting normally again"

just scale it up to include the entire mainstream press alongside social media
I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!
the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.

one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.

when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror
