When the trans healthcare starts, they warn that you could lose fertility. My first thought: What are you, a Nazi?! Second thought: Do you think I'm a Nazi?!

If I want kids, I'll adopt. I don't actually care about genetic purity.

The transphobes really care about fertility. 'Cause they're Nazis.

The ironic thing about Inglorious Basterds using how people count on their figures as a way to distinguish German from non-German is that I and a lot of other Americans started using the German way when we realized there was an alternative to the less comfortable or intuitive English way.

I frequently say you don't need to protest. You don't! There are a thousand other ways to push back on fascism if protesting doesn't feel comfortable or safe for you!

But if you CAN go, this 10/18 #NoKings thing is really a key protest to participate in. Be part of it, friends.

NO KINGS, y'all! October 18! Find a rally near you and GO!

I am actively writing a draft for a nonfiction book about forced feminization as a genre and aspect of transgender culture. I'll try to get it published conventionally but may fall back on self-publishing.

Based on her description of congenital feminine traits, it's possible she had the same intersex variation I have (presumed De La Chappelle or Klinefelter syndrome). It's a wild bit of representation (that no one's heard of).

Based on the racial politics in Follow That Bird, I think it's implied that Big Bird is white-coded?

I put my lactaid in a Pez dispenser, thanks someone on Insta's idea. It makes it fun and I am always excited to take the lactaid so I remember to take it.

The name "Operation Midway Blitz" appears to evoke the aesthetics of WWII without integrity or coherence. It's a callback to an idolized past, to Make America Great Again, but without the characteristics that supposedly make it great. The Battle of Midway and the London Blitz' names got remixed.

No pasarán.

A Captain America comic panel of him speaking.

Cap: "Doesn’t matter what the press says. Doesn’t matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn’t matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — “No, you move.”

this is an explicitely nazi administration and anyone who still supports them should be viewed as such

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

I suspect the AI actor gimmick will be like the skeleton prop waved around the theater in the original run of House on Haunted Hill: an interesting one-off thing that won't become a permanent fixture of cinema.

As the people who insist otherwise try to burn the country, it's important to affirm that immigrants, from everywhere, are awesome, and America is better the more immigrants we have. You have to be just empty and vapid and unimaginably small to reject that.

Well, Newsom has a great opportunity to help homeless trans people right now by signing a bill that would help combat anti-LGBTQ discrimination in state homelessness programs that we reported on, AB 678!

And many other bills that help all trans people. Go yell at him!
