This holiday season (and beyond), don't forget that there are so many little ways to be kind and considerate and thoughtful and good that can make such a massive difference to other people. Your tiny gesture or little act can really make someone's day.

YOU DUMB FUCKS. THIS IS ME.
I have a scooter. I can walk. I can't, however, walk through 80 miles of airport. I can walk onto an airplane or through hallways. I can't walk the .5 mile to the convention center.
People, get smarter, it's embarrassing at this point.

I learned about Roadside Picnic through the TTRPG Heart's list of inspirations, and I can certainly see the influences. Great concept, a pretty breezy read, and it really came together for me in the final chapter.📚💙

Israel has made Jews around the world infinitely more unsafe. Antisemitism is on the rise, and its insanity inducing to see leftists and neonazis agreeing that Jews are the problem in the wake of a mass shooting — when the core issue is Imperialism and settler colonialism.

Historian of eugenics here. I don't normally like to retweet bad arguments, but this is such a fundamental misunderstanding of eugenics, I think it's important to point out. I don't have time to debunk all of the ways this is inaccurate, but I'll highlight a few things and then recommend some books🧵

Trump Angrily Threatened to Sue BBC. Then Things Took a Darker Turn.
First, British Broadcasting Corporation execs resigned after Trump complained about a segment. Now the BBC edited out a line from a historian that was critical of Trump. Where does this end?

PORN IS ART, PORN IS GOOD, PEOPLE MAKING PORN IS A SIGN OF A HEALTHY SOCIETY
There has been a noticeable reticence in left and liberal circles to voice full-throated support for pornography, even as it's become increasingly clear what the open end goals of the censorship movement are
In a lot of ways other leftists chose this path folks. They shrugged and didn’t care when Patreon banned a ton of hypnosis and TF creators, or when YouTube started their ASMR crackdown. Now it’s coming for queer porn creators, more and more. Who will stand up?
