This woman, US citizen living in Skokie, was detained at Ohare yesterday, taken to Broadview, then transferred to a detention facility in Wisconsin, now released. We know all this not because of DHS, who repeatedly denied that they even had her, but because her phone was pinging in those locations.
H.R. 7661 would harm so many publishers, authors, and readers. Only the smallest sliver of human experience would make it onto shelves. If you think kids deserve the world, you are against this bill - please read this article and call your reps.
Why comics creators must fight the proposed censorship of H.R. 7661
the further i get in Esoteric Ebb, the more two facts become clear:
1. this game kinda fucks
2. the cleric is a deeply closeted trans woman.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
tonight in Eem, we encountered some lizardfolk, and challenged half of them to a "ravine-jumping competition." We simply didn't jump and let them fall to their deaths.

Land of Eem fucking *rules* yall. One of the most neat, tidy, "it just works" TTRPG i've played in a long time.
Hey local NC peeps! Im teaching a workshop at the Durham County Library!! Check it out!! 💙💙
The question is always "what if a kid is wrongfully transitioned" and never "what if a trans kid is denied the ability to transition and endures years of excruciating dysphoria and has to have multiple surgeries later in life to fix the issues caused by going through the wrong puberty."

Absolutely had it with citadel paint pots.

I'm too powerful in this dress
God it really pisses me the fuck off though. And I'm not even a practicing Christian; it's just that being raised by kind, Catholic parents have given me a lifetime of indignation at the horrors done in Jesus' name.
When I was younger I used to struggle with the apocalyptic end times cult aspect of (evangelical) Christian nationalism: "surely they don't REALLY believe they can trigger the end times through war?" I thought.
Eventually I learned thats a waste of time. Belief is nothing. Action is everything.
Trying out Esoteric Ebb, the "disco Elysium with DnD stats." It's fun so far, but the d20 is so swingy that I keep failing at things I'm meant to be good at and its really aggravating sometimes
unforgivable opinion: i kinda *like* red delicious apples. I like the mealy texture, i like the bland flavor (really easy to eat when my tummy is upset). I like to eat the flesh from the skin and then just savor the crisp snap of the skin.
rhetorical question: why do we still entertain the delusion that trans women wield outsized political or social capital?
When clinics started putting out research that 97.5% of trans youth who socially transitioned maintained a stable gender identity for 5 years,the reaction was never going to be, "I guess this isn't a phase." It was always going to be to ban social transition.
1. This morning, Texas AG Ken Paxton just released a chilling new declaration:
Mental health therapists, counselors, and psychologists must cease affirming trans youth - using their name and pronouns - or potentially face child abuse charges and loss of licensure.
Its a horrifying escalation.
oh my god it's happening again

So here's the breakdown of demographics by a think-tank using 2018 US military data: www.cfr.org/backgrounder...
In terms of affluence, the poorest quintile is under-represented, the middle three are overrepresented, and most come from middle-class backgrounds.
Not exactly an army of destitutes.
LOVE: you are a weird cyber doll uploaded into robot shells dying again and again for corporations scavanging humanity's failed last hope while the fascist government robots try to stop you
HATE: everything about actually playing the game.
played a little bit of that new Marathon game. The vibes are immaculate, and i love that you meet your computer mommy right away (yes, queen, i will do anything for you).
It's just why did it have to be some extraction shooter apex legends type deal and not ANYTHING ELSE?
Allies are getting way too comfy with the gay and trans jokes lately we need to make them too uncomfortable to open their stupid mouths again
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
