yesterday I posted about how women are literally the originators of fandom, but beer and the novel? my understanding was that nobody really knows how beer starts other than evidence of its existence in china and sumeria. Can anyone explain?

Adam P. Knave @adampknave.com · 10h

Women started fandom. Women started fanfic. Women started star Trek cons. Women invented beer, and the novel, while we're at it. Stop trying to erase women from spaces, you stupid, lazy, misogynistic fucks.

Good evening everyone. It's me again here to ask NYC residents to please send a letter to your City Council person in support of allocating 0.5% of the city expense budget to our local public libraries. Thank you. It will only take you 90 seconds: bit.ly/3Jo1R1n

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

The Absurd Prosecution of a Man Who Posted a Charlie Kirk Meme

Larry Bushart Jr. posted trolling memes on a Facebook thread about a vigil for Kirk. He’s been in a Tennessee jail ever since.

Backed by the Heritage Foundation and Big Tech, KOSA will force everyone to upload their ID to access the internet. In an age when Palantir has direct ties to ICE, where technofascists are in power and want to eliminate and censor everything, we CANNOT allow KOSA to pass.

It NEEDS mass pushback.

🚨‼️As of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

So yeah, I do want to watch these guys lose their shit over Mamdani - a guy they see as a symbolic loss much greater than taxation issues in NYC. This isn't about NY at all, this is the sensation that their grasp on power is slipping and NO non red-button smash solution will work anymore.

Harris didn't even try, Clinton campaigned but very badly and won the popular anyway, but Trump took the election because our system is very bad on purpose. Prior to that the Democrats fought harder to put a stop to the very mid Sanders than they EVER fought Trump.

If Mamdani wins and he's great then fine, great! If he wins and he's revealed as craven as people before him then we can just skip to the understanding that the system won't provide anything at any level anymore. Presidentially, we can see how hollow it all is.

okay grandpa, let's get you to bed

To understand this problem, first, you have to understand the demographics of Star Trek viewers. Trekkies are and always have been men. Women are not usually interested in science fiction, but that’s doubly true of Star Trek in particular.

I hear you, random guy who once knew some lady who watched every Voyager episode. I see you on Instagram, attractive girl cosplaying in Starfleet miniskirts. Unfortunately, you very cool Trek-girls are the exception, not the rule.

it's important to remember the people doing this aren't "just following orders," they signed up to do this, they're excited to do it, it's what they want to be doing, and each one of them is personally culpable for the entirety of ICE's conduct

RFK Jr to urge Americans to eat more saturated fats, alarming health experts

Guidance from health and human services secretary contradicts decades of dietary recommendations Robert F Kennedy Jr, the health and human services secretary, is planning to issue guidance encouraging Americans to eat more saturated fats, contradicting decades of dietary recommendations and alarming experts. “My response and sort of counsel to myself was to stay calm, and let’s see what happens, because there was no indication given as to how, why, when this potential shift would occur,” said Cheryl Anderson, an American Heart Association board member and professor at the University of California, San Diego’s school of public health and human longevity science.

Things are quiet for now but I got feeling it won't be long before we start seeing another wave a mass censorship and restrictions, not only on nsfw content but art and media overall.

Keep calling. Keep writing. Keep awareness up! Let's do what we can to protect our right to create freely!

Not seeing much on my timeline about it anymore, so here's a reminder: payment processors are still trying to censor NSFW content of all kinds, and are in fact getting more aggressive about it; I'm seeing stories of folks losing access every day

Call them & tell them THIS IS BULLSHIT

It's hard to overstate how fully engaged Chicago and the surrounding suburbs are in this ICE madness. There are neighborhood watch alerts, spontaneous crowds gathering outside schools at pick up & drop off plus madly blowing whistles and honking car horns, this city is fighting back and hard.

1. El artículo es una pieza estupenda para entender qué hay mal en estos días con el pensamiento. Es un artículo de opinión, claro, pero está basado en un sesgo de percepción que no está respaldado por ningún dato empírico. Es una sucesión sucesiva* de trampas, sesgos y falacias en la que destacan >

Acabo de leer un artículo que dice que la audiencia de Star Trek es republicana porque en su mayoría son hombres y el show debería asumirlo y dejar de ser woke. Tiene perlas como que a las mujeres no nos interesa en absoluto la scifi. En fin. Un par de consideraciones que me saltan al respecto:

Michael C. Bailey - Indie Author, Stage Combat Guy @mbaileywriter.bsky.social · 18h

Lucille Ball is the reason why Star Trek made it onto the air at all, and the first Star Trek convention ever held was organized by Joan Winston, but sure, pop off on how only us menfolk are real Trekkies.

cons exist because women loved star trek and organized events to meet actors and writers and build community around enjoyment of the show.

men saw the community women built and shoved women out and then claimed they did it… many such cases
