So I figured I’d go ahead and formally announce this: I’m moving out of Texas to be up in Canada where it’s safer for me. Moving is expensive. I’m putting together a stream with friends on Monday, May 12 in order to raise money to help with it. I’ll be playing Sonic Adventure 2 for the first time
For everyone saying this is good because trans people shouldn't serve an imperial military, this is your reminder that I am already seeing opposing counsel cite this as justification for discrimination against trans and gnc people in housing, employment, and determining criminal charges
Pope is a funny job like YES he works for maybe one of the most wicked institutions this world has ever seen but MAYBE he'll say fewer gay slurs repeatedly and SOMETIMES he'll shake his head no when a world leader flippantly suggests feeding children into a machine that makes energy drinks for cops
the conclave decided at the last minute to affirm my gender and agree that I am indeed a woman and therefore not eligible to be pope after all. I think that's the only way to interpret today's events. Doesn't explain why they didn't go with @themountaingoats.bsky.social though. confusing.
a really competent MAGA movement would be claiming that American pope for themselves they'd be like "we may have our differences but when it comes down to it everyone knows Americans are the leaders of teh world" and instead they're combing his tweets to scream that he's woke
marxists call this “cultural vanguardism”, while anarchists often prefer the term “having a fucking spine”. regardless, supporting bigotry & hate always puts you at the ass end of society. tailism is cowardice. leftists should focus on empowering, elevating, and uniting the entire working class.
We're doing the "Syril Karn was just misguided" sympathy? Yes, he was indoctrinated and emasculated into enacting heroic fascist fantasies—but he was still a fascist bully. It's telling how often we sympathize with men who "could have been saved" over their victims.
The thing about the Omelas metaphor is that there is no Omelas child in our world, and there *never can be* There is no magic scapegoat whose suffering will bring utopia Yet much of today's pain comes from people believing that if they can just hurt *one* more person/group, everything will be fine
This is equally as ridiculous as the claim that Israel and Palestine have been fighting for centuries. Israel is 77 years old. The British Empire carved up the world and we white people act like the resulting conflicts are longstanding religious disputes and not colonialism.
Mr. Rogers: Children deserve dignity. Mr. Burton: Children deserve books. Sesame Street: Learning should be fun and accessible for all children. Bob Ross: Happy Little Trees Julia Child: /drunk Nova: SPACE IS COOL Masterpiece Theater: /themesong The American Right: WOKE MIND VIRUS
Universal right to counsel is every bit as important as universal healthcare. We talk about medical debt and student debt. What about legal debt? We need to make sure everyone in the United States has access to a great lawyer every time they enter the legal system.
Hey, friends and comrades, I want to draw your attention to something important. My friend Alaa is trapped with her family in Gaza and needs assistance. Here's her daughters. Here's the link, but I'm going to talk a little about what happened. (Please boost!) chuffed.org/project/1252...
I say this as an atheist: The most delightful thing about this is watching all of these motherfuckers who are required by the edicts of the Catholic faith to believe that the Cardinals are doing the will of God in selecting a Pope, and that the Pope speaks with God's authority, and they *will not.*
i sometimes wonder if people’s resistance to turning their back on harry potter comes from thinking they can’t do all the harry potter twee culture shit that doesn’t make joanne money and it’s like no dude you can still host your make your own butterbeer sundae potluck or whatever the fuck
I'm not Catholic, nor am I religious so to a point this Pope thing is missing me emotionally, but from a purely chaos gremlin angle, it's fascinating to watch. Seeing his big brother on the news saying they joked he'd be the first American pope when they were kids is real, REAL weird and endearing.
Bsky is the best social media platform for getting fresh breaking news in the form of cryptic and often meanspirited subposts and I think that's beautiful Congrats to the new Freedom Pope whose name I do not yet know but on whom I will become an expert, just as soon as someone tells me who he is
Real talk (and I know I am not the only journalist who feels this way): if I had known when I entered the journalism field that all of my professional writing would eventually be hidden behind paywalls, I would likely have chosen a different profession That was never part of the deal
