Always read your syllabi closely, I misread one and have been stressing the fuck out all semester, just found out it was for no reason.

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?

My friends are doing a Heathers group costume for Halloween so I watched it with them and asked them to point out which Heather I would be.

They then pointed out the one who gets bullied by the lead Heather and then manipulated by J.D.

My rampant damsel in distress energy strikes again.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.
NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

The hardest part about getting people into Gundam is explaining that not every mobile suit is a Gundam.

read this yesterday and it left me with a sinking feeling about how successful this ideology has been in infiltrating everything from corporatized media to fandom and independent publishing. every awful thing in this article attributed to the far right has been said to me by left-leaning queer folk.
The censorship of 80+ games on Steam this week was apparently the work of Australian antiporn group Collective Shout, which partnered with US evangelicals to pressure Visa and Mastercard.

They claimed, without evidence, that the games involved child abuse.

Great work by @acvalens.net for VICE.

And this isn't even taking into account skill atrophy: right now we have skilled coders who were trained without relying on AI, but what happens in 10+ years when the next generation of coders come along who have relied on AI and lose the eye to tell the difference between good code and crap code?
metr.org METR @metr.org · Jul 10
We ran a randomized controlled trial to see how much AI coding tools speed up experienced open-source developers.

The results surprised us: Developers thought they were 20% faster with AI tools, but they were actually 19% slower when they had access to AI than when they didn't.

you can simplify this a lot by saying that the democrats helped reelect trump when they refused to stop backing a genocide, or that seeing atrocities in gaza has people in a rage, i don't know why the left have to be inserted into the process there to take the blame

I’m glad people are saying Superman is good, I was hoping it would be. But people also said Thunderbolts was good so I’m not gonna get my expectations too high.

Just sit with this for a moment. Israel perpetrated what is certainly the largest single mass killing of trans people in history. And it's basically a footnote in an article in the NYT covered weeks after it happened.
Israel bombed an Evin, an Iranian prison that housed dissidents and political prisoners. They ended up destroying the trans wing and murdering over 100 trans people incarcerated there, many for simply being queer in Iran.

This is unspeakable evil.

So jury duty has a form you can fill out to request disqualification on the basis of mental health, but guess what? They do not allow psychologists to fill it out. You know, mental health professionals like the one I’ve been seeing for a year who knows why this is a problem for me.

I just don't get it.

The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide.

And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that"

NO.

THE FUCK.

WE DO NOT.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.

What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.

Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

Over 100 days after Mahmoud Khalil was unjustly arrested and detained because of his advocacy for Palestinian rights, he has been released on bail.

We celebrate that Mahmoud will finally be home with his wife and newborn son while his case proceeds.

BREAKING: A federal judge ruled all transgender and intersex people can obtain passports that align with their gender identity while the case against President Trump's executive order proceeds.

While this is good news, we will continue fighting until this executive order is blocked permanently.

29 days between rewatches. I am ill.
My roommate and I finished GWitch tonight and we’ve just left the final image on our TV for I don’t know how long now.

It might be an embarrassingly short amount of time before I watch this again.
