right...it's not all necessarily planned out beforehand, but there's massive animus against trans ppl and a huge infrastructure for destroying trans ppl, knowledge of which is widely available in right wing christofascist circles. 1
It's becoming increasingly clear that many of these events are orchestrated (either a-priori or post-hoc) to target trans people and generate widespread outrage.

According to Aztec myth, the goddess Coatlicue was sweeping a temple when a ball of hummingbird feathers fell from the heavens. She picked it up, tucked it into her belt, and became pregnant. She soon gave birth to the full-grown, armored warrior Huitzilopochtli. #MythologyMonday

I grew up with the movie, and I loved the show. It injected some badly needed whimsy in a time when every fantasy show was gritty and grim. It deserved its full 3 seasons.

This is it:
"Do I continue engagement in a family where I must silence my feelings and values constantly in order to keep a fragile peace? Or do I choose to withdraw, instead investing in relationships where I can express myself?"

What if estrangement isn't a trend, but instead it is the predictable result of toxic and controlling parenting methods? strongwilled.substack.com/p/chapter-12...
Chapter 13: Estrangement in Religious Authoritarian Families
It's a predictable outcome of authoritarian parenting practices and enmeshed families, not a "trend" that will be easily reversed.

The moral panic over the idea that adult children are being tricked somehow into going no-contact with their parents over nothing brings to mind the moral panic over divorce from previous decades.

No offense but I think we underestimate how many of our current problems, both cultural and political, are downstream of the decline in reading, the decline in learning and the loss of interest in the humanities.

Also sometimes you had an amazing childhood but then your parents get sucked into a fascist cult when you're in your 30s, and you have to cut them off because they're harming other people.
So you don't even need childhood trauma to qualify. In fact you don't need to justify estrangement to anyone.

Just a quiet, sad little PSA.
If someone is estranged from their parents, please please don’t give them the ‘but they’re your mum/ dad’
They were their mum / dad when they did the worst imaginable things to their own kids.
It’s not up to the children to make it ok. It’s up to them to live well.

Looking at my calendar for this week and Past Missy has a lot to answer for. That bitch signed me up for so many volunteer activities it's unreal, and that's not even counting my full-time job, therapy appointment, 3 different kids sporting activities, and God knows what else that I've forgotten.

Also like... If you really need a slogan, what's wrong with "No Kings?" It's easy, to the point, covers power born of both wealth and nepotism, pro-democracy by definition, and everybody is already on board with it.
Defeating ceilings is not motivating. Defeating tyrants is.

'Sleeping Beauty' flopped in 1959, leading to cutbacks of the animation department in favor of theme parks, to make animation production faster/cheaper. Much of the women were the Ink & Department, yes, but getting rid of women were not why the cuts were made.
Please stop spreading misinfo, thanks.
Please stop spreading misinfo, thanks.
the reason 101 dalmations looks like that is because disney incorporated xerography (ie early photocopying technology) into the animation process. rough pencils (by mostly male animators) were copied onto the cels so that disney could fire the (mostly female) inkers. remember that art can lie to you

There's a lot to love in the upcoming @wtforce.bsky.social episode with @sgellerhoff.bsky.social but possibly my favorite is referring to the #KpopDemonHunters phenomenon as a modern-day "Beatlemania."

Just because they're only motivated by greed doesn't mean everyone is.
I don't need billions, just enough to be secure. I think there are plenty of rational "ceilings" possible to ensure everyone has enough.
Bottom-up prosperity, not top-down.

It is *lunacy* for the ostensibly liberal opposition party to say we shouldn't limit any individual's wealth and power after watching a cadre of fascist billionaires systematically destroy this country. That's probably the single most important thing we *must* do!
