I *am* a fogey, so Glock 17C makes sense for me. I'm at least a bit Mall Katana Gay too, as I see myself as a sword lesbian ⚔️

I'd prefer two (Lara Croft style) silver USP Matches *and* a katana *and* an Anti-Materiel Rifle.

But, beggars can't be choosers, or some other poverty-justifying nonsense.
A screenshot of quiz results, with a first-person-perspective picture of an HEV-clad figure from Half-Life, holding a Glock 17C: pistol. Text reads: """ Your Result: Glock 17C You have the gun from Half-Life and you paid sticker price for it. You are the Glock 17C Gay, and it's not your friends' fault they sometimes worry you're a cop. If you stick it out for another decade or two, your surviving friends will grow into their fogeydom - which you came into young - and value you as a pillar of stability. In the meanwhile, don't be afraid to throw down a lot of money on a good time. """

I saw a meme recently which proposes a novel solution to these kinds of problems... 🪓

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.
Shizu from the anime Tensura smiles while gazing into the distance. Her shoulder-length black hair and white cape blow behind her in the wind. She holds a sword with a white blade and golden hilt in her right hand, and a mask in her left. She is dressed in a form-fitting white dress with green and black sleeves, a pink skirt, black leggings, and a purple belt. There is a blue sky with white clouds behind her, as well as rocky outcroppings in the distance. The emotional tone is protective strength and hope.

It's either this or building mechas wearing maid outfits.
Harley Quinn in a red and black outfit carrying a rocket propelled grenade (RPG) leaned against her shoulder. Written across her and the floral and firecracker background are the words "Arm the Dolls". Implying the arming of trans women/femmes.

What ICE is doing would be called ethnic cleansing anywhere else but the US.

I'm glad these people made it out - and damaged the prison while doing so. Andor #OneWayOut Warsaw ghetto style.

Escaping capture by fascists is always the right thing to do.

Especially if they're about to gas you!
A comparison of the (Star Wars Andor series) Narkina 5 uprising to the Warsaw ghetto uprising during World War II. The image on the left depicts a group of prisoners in white escaping a white-painted sci-fi prison on the fictional planet Narkina 5. One is in the foreground holding and aiming a rifle-shaped blaster taken from a guard, pointing it to the right off-screen. They are escaping a prison where they'll be worked to death. The image on the right depicts a group of Polish prisoners escaping a ghetto controlled by the Nazis, similarly with weapons taken from guards. One is aiming a rifle to the right, pointed presumably at those who would also put them to death. The text below these images reads: "Narkina 5 - Warsaw uprising" "Realizing they'll never be allowed to leave the prison, the inmates stage a desperate escape. Similarly to the Poles in the Warsaw ghetto, who discovered their eventual fate in the death camps through the Vrba-Wetzler report, and decided to fight to the death. Kino Loy's speech echoes the broadcast of the Civilian Commission in the second day of the uprising, as does the use of stolen weapons and, of course, the guards being massively outnumbered by the prisoners."

A picture of women soldiers. Members of the YPJ, a Rojavan/AANES/Northern Syrian all-women defense force. They are in formation, presumably on parade, wearing green-brown camouflage-type uniforms. They bear what appears to be AK-47 automatic rifles, held vertically. They all have tightly-tied back brown-black hair, and very serious, almost grim expressions. A line of evenly-spaced green flags flutters in the wind some distance behind them - presumably the flag of the semi-directly- democratic AANES federation.

A @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social classic, giving some very timely advice for the season!
A cartoon of a penguin against a green to blue gradient background. A speech bubble above the penguin says "Hey comrades, over this holiday period remember that there's no point trying to fix your racist uncle who doesn't believe in vaccines or climate change. Sit at the kids' table and radicalise them instead, it's way more effective and lots more fun."

Three gender expressions, let's go 🙂

🔥 Sugar and spice and everything nice - plus mischief and rainbows
⚔️ Darkly formal; boobs and blades; fiercely fair, fiercely caring
⚙️ Bugs Bunny gender; whatever gets the laugh, causes drama
A Tumblr post from user acegender. Text follows: explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like "male", "female", "nonbinary", "masculine", "feminine" or "androgynous". go!
