A Foone thread that is truly amazing
several years ago I said there should be a reality TV show where each team is given a fixed budget and access to various DIY hardware stores/junkyards and 48 hours to build the best guillotine they can.
I'm still disappointed that no one has filled this gap in the market

If someone is living in a place and you kick them out at gunpoint so you can live there instead, that's evil. I don't need a DNA test to know that.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

I THINK they’re mad because of the hardscaping? Not entirely sure.
(One guy tried to claim it didn’t store CO2. Do you want a lecture on prairie carbon sequestration? Because this is how you get a lecture on prairie carbon sequestration.)

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games.
Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

This is a fabulous thread. Viewing clothing outside of body shape and instead as a language is something I’m not good at, but this kind of thread has me wanting to get better.
I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

Books are so fucking wild.
Like, they’re just dead trees smeared with carbon. But smeared at just the right rhythm and thickness to make you hallucinate sounds and smells and whole people and events.
But only if you train your brain how to hallucinate first.

This (very long) thread is fully worth the read.
I have been doing entirely too much earnest posting about deep things recently, I need to do a proper thread about hippo testicles or something just to keep myself sane.
Oh by the way hippos have migratory testicles.

I've sent a variation of this to both of my senators. Now is a good time to make some noise. If you've got time, pick up a phone and make sure your elected officials hear from you.
My email to Senator Maria Cantwell:
It is being widely reported that Scott Bessent, whom you voted to confirm as Treasury Secretary, has illegally provided at least one private citizen -- and probably that person's employees from his private businesses -- with full access to the data and payment

I did this the last time the Tangerine Shitgoblin took office. It offended many, many horrible people… including David Duke, who was so mad, he Tweeted about it 3 times in 24 hours.

YES THIS HAPPENED. Also in a general sense if ASL interpreters are working one of my events and there is time, I try to give them access to any prepared materials and generally go over things that I suspect will present an issue for them. The idea they're not needed or useful is shitty ableist BS.
Reminds me of the time at WorldCon when an ASL interpreter completely stole the show from Scalzi by signing the HELL out of a short story filled with weird alien words. Scalzi was laughing too hard to read half the time.
ASL interpreters are valuable and amazing and must be protected.

Imagine being threatened and irritated by ASL interpreters. Shut this shit down. There is no validity to the "point", they are not valid, shut up, go away. Sick of these snowflakes.
