TBH, vampires being in command of America's atomic arsenal seems preferable to the current situation.

2016

Give me a year and I'll give you a good movie from that year.

If you want a more specific recommendation, drop that in the comment as well.

You should read Us Living in Fictional Cosmogonies specifically for the extra-long Evangelion chapter because it's never wrong!

And like at this point I don’t know what to tell people .

Folks are having white on white slap fights and “maybe we only need to abandon trans folks alil but”

Meanwhile over and over the RIGHT is telling you they won’t survive folks not doing that

what’s left to say

I realize the 9/11/War on Terror and the queer 00s stuff has more general use, but one thing I am proud of in Mutant Thoughts is establishing how much of New X-Men is about thought-being-matter and how reality, interpretation & narrative are akin to different frequencies.

I hate that this right leaned period of time is lacking the awesome punk rock bands that the previous ones had

I could stand to see Pagan back in some team/team-up dynamic. In the 90s she had public opinion in her quarter, Batman gave her genuine praise, and she was good at being a Gotham hero. We can always do with more superheroes really tired or rapists getting away with it.

FINALLY! someone has an article about that segregationist supreme court ruling that doesn't show the horrible bigots doing their champagne victory dance.

If anyone has any emergency fund or mutual aid links or efforts for anyone trying to survive or leave Florida because of this, please let me know so I can boost it.

Keeping ICE in existence and “reforming” it is an extremist position that does not enjoy the support of the people.

Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states

It’s time to let people who were born in 1947 have a chance.

It’s so weird that not so long ago, like, less than 20 years, the progressive feminist position was gender de-segregation in sport and other male dominated spaces. Then the terfs came along and convinced the mainstream that the most progressive feminist position is that women are weak and feeble.

Feeling no nostalgia for Silvermoon or ever song woods in midnight… just feeling a lack of something new to explore… hopefully harendar and Zul’aman scratch that

I wonder who's been the most annoyed at their song being fully misinterpreted and misused. Paula Cole? Woody Guthrie? Julius Fučík?

Insane.

The anti-trans movement wants an absolute right of parents to control their children, from the kids' religion to their gender. The state must obey the parents.

Except when the parents want to affirm their children as transgender. Then the state can do whatever the fuck it wants.

Switch from The Matrix says "Not like this."

*Just in the LAST WEEK*:
- Prisons are experimenting on trans prisoners to "cure" them
- Kansas revoked every trans Kansan's driver's license
- Scouts agreed to ban trans kids
- Texas declared all health services stop helping trans kids
- SCOTUS declared it legal to out trans kids to abusive parents

Anyone know about the comics writer Charles Moore enough to tell me if he is or isn't white?

You won't believe how nerdy and about hooking up a novel about a fanfic writer and her fics could be.

this is literally me

What was his deal in this story?

Two panels from a comic. Top panel, girls sitting at their school desks excited saying "what a hottie" and "squee squee" while in panel two, a boy says, You know that's a girl," and they go, "We know!" while still excited.

"Rumiko Takahashi brought to manga the erotic or deviating mind of girls. She could have an entire classroom of girls or a group of women interested in sexy boys, in brassieres, in body parts, in nudity or in two people of the same sex kissing."

Wow they keep getting better

Colorist, Tatjana Wood, has passed just short of her 100th birthday. She ushered a color revolution of psychological weather and emotional texture, innovation, and a careful consistency to tone previously rare in US comic books. Hereare examples of her coloring some criminal lesbians in Sebastian O.

Labour never learns.

Also, maybe don't wear the imperial officer uniform from Star Wars out in public.

The blue skin and wings of the Traveller distinguish her before we know anything else about her, and attract attention away from what else we might know about her. A woman of rank is always to be suspected. While, at least in anglosphere cultures, a man may have rank as earned or as the natural order – true born kings – a woman of rank must have slept or otherwise cheated her way into it. In Swords of Sorrow, the true prince, who is revealed as Prince Charming of Snow White, has to be an absolute monster, a complete disgusting cartoon of terror, lest the comic risk an audience demonizing the Traveller on sight as they do Gloriana or a televangelist might in transvestigating L Ron Hubbard. The reason we have the phenomenon called transvestigation, which is the effort of finding supporting evidence, however flimsy or fantastical, in order to affirm that someone who it has been decided is secretly transgender, is because this kind of demonization by trope or aspect is not an issue of human spirituality or anything inherent in the individual being profiled. The profiling is after the fact of the demonization. The roots include racism and misogyny, between which almost all anxious oppression and determined demonization of queer people comes from.

The roots of transvestigation are racism and misogyny, and the root of those is a sense of inferiority.

Read Looming Narrative for more on how this involves L Ron Hubbard, Grant Morrison, and Red Riding Hood.
