Hi new followers! I'm Crystal Frasier, writer, game designer, and corgi mom! I write books about crying and sometimes also video games about crying! I'm also kind of a loudmouth and on at least two occasions I have gone into extraneous detail about how genitals work, so... have fun!

Oh, I genuinely miss Spoony’s reviews so much. He was one of the first reviewers to recognize that the negativity just wasn’t leading anywhere and started injecting some genuine love into the cheesy things he reviewed.

what did she call us | patreon.com/lubchansky

PANEL 1: MATTIE and one other person are handcuffed on a platform over a big cylindrical vat full of glowing liquid. Behind them, TWO ARMED TROOPERS stand. One is shouting, next to a big lever.
TROOPER: You have all been charged with sexual deviance under the new statutes!
TROOPER: You are hereby sentenced…

PANEL 2: Closer in on MATTIE and the person next to her.
TROOPER (VO): …To being dropped into a big vat of acid, thus dissolving your perverted bodies!
MATTIE: I sure did prefer life before we were overrun by fascist stormtroopers.

PANEL 3: The TROOPERS look at each other.
TROOPER 2: Sorry…What did she-he call us?
TROOPER 1: NOT Cool…

PANEL 4: The other TROOPER from panel 3. He's crying, and pulls the lever. Some acid splashes into the frame.
TROOPER: STOP BULLYING ME!
SFX: CLUNK
SFX: SPLASH

Chicago, you have objectively the worst cheese sauce of any major metropolitan area.

SO WHY CAN’T I STOP EATING IT!?!?

I get back into Chicago for only about 90 minutes every two years. Just enough time to soak up the culture…

It was at least fun to watch your slowly blossoming “I brought a trans woman to watch THIS” horror

In my experience, the movie is a favorite among the same kind of gay guys who call women various sexist names

Okay, but she’s clearly aware of it NOW, so what is she doing?

Decider @deciderdotcom.bsky.social · 2d

Keira Knightley was "not aware" of 'Harry Potter' boycott when she joined audiobook cast for JK Rowling series: "I'm very sorry"

Keira Knightley will voice Professor Umbridge in the new Potter audibooks.

I used to read the Washington Post, but I canceled my subscription after Bezos coddled Trump.

I used to watch This Week on ABC, but I stopped when ABC paid off Trump.

I used to watch 60 Minutes, but I stopped when CBS fired Colbert and hired Weiss.

It’s time to adjust our long-held media habits.

Not me learning you need these appointments just to get on HRT, I thought they were for like, SRS or something. Which would still be bad for that wait list.

Adam Turner 🏳️‍🌈 @awjt.bsky.social · 9d

In Glasgow, there is a 224-year waiting list for gender clinic appointments.

224 YEARS.

This is institutionalised discrimination. It's unacceptable, it's ruining people's lives and it needs to change.

We have the solution. Time for politicians to act.

Gender Clinic Files: Some people in Scotland will never get a gender clinic appointment on a 224-year waitlist.

This system is failing to support people to transition not because it is broken, but by design. The frustrating thing is that this would not be a difficult problem to solve under a different political paradigm.

Trans+ people do not need to be assessed by gender clinics or diagnosed by psychiatrists to tell us what we already know: we are trans. The healthcare we need, especially when it comes to hormones, is already available to cis people through making an appointment with their GP.

Gender clinics are unnecessary and exist to segregate healthcare for Trans+ people. Abolishing this system and providing Trans+ healthcare in primary care, at the GP through an informed consent model, would solve many of the issues this data reveals. GPs already prescribe hormones to cis adults. Trans+ adults simply need the same access to this healthcare.

Went to see “Death Becomes Her” on Broadway and for as much as they want to pay themselves on the back for inclusivity and overpriced pride merch, the show itself had gay jokes and this low-level running transphobia throughout, right down to an “I identify as a…” joke that grinds a scene to a halt.

I’m torn. I love old Ivy and I love new Ivy, and they even kind of overlap in their trope space, but their vibes are incredibly different.

Still blowing my mind that the person who earns royalties from the microtransactions in a Harry Potter themed slot machine app accused me of grifting for having a Patreon which doesn't cover the costs of hosting the sites it's for.
