This is great but I would add a big reason GCs are stuck on gametes is they spent ages hopping from trait to trait ("it's genitals! No? Okay, XX/XY!! No? Okay it's...") and gametes are the square they were on when they found themselves at the end of the board without further spaces to retreat to.
I have a new essay coming out next week so stay tuned! since one of the ppl I critique in it is a hardcore "gamete truther", I figured I'd re-up this – discusses both the actual biology & the bonkers anti-trans talking point that's grown out of it (no paywall): juliaserano.medium.com/why-are-gend...
Why Are “Gender Critical” Activists So Fond of Gametes?
plus my new video “Trans People and Biological Sex: What the Science Says”

Hey, if you have a Schweizercraft Santa's Workshop DisPlayset, and you want this year's batch of new figures, they're now available! Maybe three weeks turnaround, though, so if you want them in time for Christmas, hop on it!

Oh, no! I was in the mountains so I wasn't able to coincide this post with Martinmas (November 11), the old world kickoff to the Christmas season! Better late that never.

Personally, I think Bigfoot finally got fed up for people mistaking them for Benito Cereno.

Before HECTOR PLASM: HUNT THE BIGFOOT #2 comes out this Wednesday and reveals part of the mystery, I would love to hear your theories. What is the secret of Monkey Ridge? Why is Bigfoot -- or *is* Bigfoot -- suddenly murdering people? Is Hector responsible somehow?

Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

I think I'm going to be opening up for commissions in the next couple weeks. Here's one I did almost a year ago. The request was "Darkwing Duck vs. Duckula."
