Card Sleeves #MTG

Collectible card sleeves are made from polypropylene.
This is derived from petroleum, which comes from the remains of prehistoric animals.
Actually, the idea that oil and natural gas are fossilized dinosaurs is an old myth. They're mostly aquatic phytoplankton.
Oh...
This means my cards are protected by
DINOSAURS!S
Impressive, right?

My cards are protected by
AQUATIC PHYTOPLANKTON!
Am I supposed to be impressed?

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Other trans journalists have also covered Mamdani’s incredible ad. It was so meaningful to so many.

Yeah it's nice having that time back. I haven't played arena in a couple weeks. I'm not super excited about Spiderman avatar whatever.

It's annoying seeing these 3 or 4 sets in advance.

I think the pizza basics are cute, but I will never use them because basic lands and their symbolism in magic are incredibly important to me and my enjoyment of the game. I buy into the mythology we were told that we are planeswalkers drawing power from the land. Pizza is not land.

This is the same Netflix that Musk wants to cancel over it being too woke, with too many trans positive depictions.

Julia Serano @juliaserano.bsky.social · 3d

apparently the new Netflix show Monster: The Ed Gein Story invented an "autogynephilia" backstory for their serial killer (because of course they did!). so time to re-up my collection of writings on this pseudoscientific zombie theory...

I'm just thinking about how Mamdani talks (and defends) trans people for two minutes more than the democrats did at the last convention. And the video is only two minutes and five seconds long.

Nearly all Democrats are united behind us.

Make sure you don't erase the work of the rest of them to resist the few who have faltered.

The bigots are not a majority of Americans. Never let them forget that.

I love that he keeps proving other Democrats wrong about trans and socialist policies being unelectable, while he gains more popularity than any of them

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.
