Why are we refusing to compromise? We should meet them halfway and let them jail one of them, or perhaps both just for a little bit.

Truly, the radical left has just gone too far.

Idk what this is but it’s here I guess

“Is it true that beings where you come from have photon receptors on their bodies?” the incomprehensible being from across the stars asked.
“It is,” replied the human. “We call them eyes. When photons hit them, we see things.”
“How would you describe seeing?”
“It’s sort of like hearing, but for light instead of sound. There’s what we call colours, which have to do with how much light each thing we see reflect. When we like looking at something, we may say that it’s pretty.”
The stranger from another world considered this carefully, their shape undulating and flittering in the light of a mostly unremarkable star in a mostly unremarkable galaxy.
“Am I pretty?” They asked.
The human paused, thinking.
“Yes, I think so.”

I randomly stumbled across the initial post and thought it was just a beautiful little snippet of humans meeting aliens races and being cool but now you've made the entire thing 1000 times better, thank you.

when he started naming the laundry list of who's who on the author list, I was personally taking bets with myself how long it would be until transphobia came up.

tech companies are just so horny to put us in their own private panopticon.

They also by their own admission identified as detransitioned at the time they committed the act. It's a pretty clear-cut case of cult brainwashing.

They're responsible for their actions, but nothing happens in a vacuum.

Chirin's Bell Tolls
My finished piece for the @furryfootage.bsky.social zine!
This zine is still available at: furryfoundfootage.itch.io/furry-found-...
#chirinsbell | #art007 | #furryfoundfootage

An ornamental piece of Chirin's Bell. Young chirin stands happily surrounded by flowers as an older Chirin glares down from a cliff, horns dripping blood. The border is decorative gold depicting sheep running from a wolf, rams, wolf skulls, wolf skeletons, birds nests, and a wolf running from a ram.

Yknow what? I’ve been sitting on this for a decade because I’m not into punching laterally but I AM FINE with punching far right lunatics.

Just a handful of short weeks before GamerGate started, Briana Wu, who I spoke to 0 times before this, sends me this *wild* ass email. 🧵

An email from Briana Wu, dated May 3, 2014 (about 3 months before the start of GamerGate)

Hey Zoe,
You I hope this will stay between us. But, I did want to share something with you.
The first time I really heard about you, and Depression Quest, a mutual gamede friend of ours in Boston was complaining about Depression Quest.
They had counseled you to take the money from big pharma. They were talking all kinds of shit about how shortsighted it was of you to not do this - but you'd stood your ground and said no. They thought you were a total fool.
I didn't know about your reality show, but I did read about the aftermath. And what really impressed me about the situation was you did the exact same thing.
A situation was anathema for you, and you said no.
You were willing to burn your bridges with an entire production company over the situation.
You and I are similar people in that we really care about women in games and calling out the sexism in the industry. But, the truth is - I'm a pragmatist. And, if I were being embarrassingly honest with you, I probably would have taken the money from big pharma. And, I would have drank the Mountain Dew on camera.
But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.

But, here you are today, and you're doing just fine.
You stood your ground, you made your choices and you still won.
There's been a situation at GSK that's been really bad for us and bad for the company. And, I can't go into it just like you can't go into the reality show stuff - but I can tell you, I drank the Mountain Dew on camera for far too long. I have dealt with a really awful, humiliating situation for far too long. It finally ended this week.
I don't know you that well, but - I have been thinking about your integrity a lot lately, and how going forward I need to be less of a pragmatist and more of a Zoe Quinn in leading my company. I want to let you know - that's something I really intend to follow through on.
I hope that doesn't seem emo, but it is true. And, I think when other women in the industry inspire us, l think we should let them know it.
All the best, Bri

What gets me is the "They have to know in case of emergency!" like the EMT is going to not take me to the hospital becasue they spent too much time looking around in the ditch for my missing uterus.

why would you need to determine the sex of a person in a coma?

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."
