Leonard Nimoy in 1979, on the eve of returning as Spock in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, was asked what he thought about the success of Star Wars despite its (perceived) lack of “social significance”. Nimoy, bless him, was having nothing to do with any “Star Trek vs Star Wars” bickering.

I'm thinking a lot about the budget and what income levels mean and what being well off, comfortable, rich or poor means. We have a car we barely use - I get the bus a lot. We buy mostly organic veg and fancy coffee. Eating out is a lunch - a sandwich and coffee, or cake and coffee. We have..

Very well put Casey. I urge everyone to read the alt text for more context.
FFS, kids, don't do this shit. Not only are you CENSORING A BOOK, you are censoring someone else's real, recorded queer history. This isn't something to be proud of. It's pathetic. We have to fight hard enough to keep copies of Gender Queer: A Memoir in libraries in the first place.
![Some idiot proudly displaying the fact that they censored a library copy of the groundbreaking graphic novel "Gender Queer: A Memoir" by Maia Kobabe in order to shame their recorded queer experience. The graphic novel page begins with the title "Interest in erotic gay fiction has been so prevalent in my friendships, one could mistake it for a prerequisite." In the second panel, a group of friends are sitting together in college watching the TV show Supernatural. One asks, "When did you first ship Sam & Dean?" and the other responds, "When Dean pushed Sam against the bridge in the first episode!" However, this censoring idiot has physically covered "Sam" with masking tape and written "Cas" [even though that makes no sense in the context of that ship's history, FFS, Cas didn't come in until Season 4]. They then proudly explain they "HAD" to censor it because the original sentence contains incest and it's "Nastyyyyy". And I guess they think their opinion gives them the right to tell other queers how to tell their history.
This is embarrassing, juvenile behavior, and it's HARMFUL. IDGAF what you ship - editing someone else's real, lived queer history because their experiences don't match your sense of propriety is appalling on every level. Good job doing the fascists' work for us, and I mean that sincerely. When we tell people they can't talk about their queerness unless they lived it according to our standards, we deny them the right to be real and authentic. It's no different than some asshole editing a queer couple to be straight to suit their sense of appropriateness. Fucking grow up, support queer peoples' authentic lives, and recognize that fantasizing about fiction does not in any way equal reality.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l6chuncbfikt27ahtgoo7myp/bafkreicnxegpualx7gbzsy6obicp3xe4rsnz4r3ttb7gvmpun2omxtpure@jpeg)

I've been about this a lot lately. The transmisogynist lot who say you aren't female if you don't have a womb, are making me think that I don't want to be female, as I don't have a uterus, cervix or fallopian tubes anymore. Like, if you only count women as those who have, or once had those... 1/2
The argument "your vagina isn't a vagina if you don't have a womb" is so fucking terrible, even by "Gender Critical" standards

Superman is a refugee from a planet where they ignored scientists warning them about catastrophic environmental changes so of COURSE the right has decided to hate him.

I don't know where people got this idea that the goal - even with books aimed at kids - is to make the reader feel "good". The only goal is to make the reader FEEL. And sometimes that includes feeling bad.

Fucking hell. I'm from Kent. Maidstone. It was a shithole in the 90s and it looks like it remains a shithole. The Maidstone library was a good one though. I hope library staff and Kent citizens are fighting this.

Not sure if there's alt text on that image, but its an ink (or computer?) drawing of a white corgi wagging it's, tail, tongue out, with a collar with the blue lantern hope sigil on it. Writing says 'everything will be ok'. It's cute AF.

today for disability pride I'm muting anyone who posts in the knitting hashtags or feeds without using alt text for their images, because they clearly don't want to share them with the whole community.
