Because "resisting transphobia" is just a pet project to most liberals, one they don't take very seriously and don't mind rejecting if it's inconvenient or gets in the way of the bag

What are your theories as to why nominally 'liberal' people like Simon Pegg and Matt Berry are willing to work with Rowling?

Disappointed also isn’t the right word. This book is impressively bad. “Trans people should reach out to TERFs“ level bad. It’s awful. Garbage all the way down.

thinking about the liberal politicians willing to try to compromise with fascists by abandoning minority groups they don't really like - i wish they understood that fascists will come for everyone eventually. even themselves. fascism unopposed is a ruined state with everyone dead

Thank You To Young Me

I used to catch myself being upset at little me for not doing much in regards to who we are, but as I age I realise that we were not in the environment to be able to do so so I thank them for being able to push through regardless

🌕 Vicious Emotion 🌕 @originalzin.bsky.social · 3d

Haven't done a ton of art in my time away, but I did throw together a few pieces of the player characters from our current Daggerheart campaign. In order, they're @lotushomage.bsky.social's fairy, Mischief, @audderpop.bsky.social's fungril, Phryne, and @primimpropr.bsky.social's fairy, Clesz.

An insectoid fairy girl with the wings of a Death's Head moth. She has a dark, insectoid exoskeleton and bright yellow tufts of fluff, mainly on her wings and around her neck. Her short wine-colored pixie cut is broken by two black and gold feathery antennae. She has no visible nose, and her eyes are big and dark, looking almost entirely like pupils. She wears dark purple pants and a simple magenta shirt. Her brown boots come up to halfway up the calf, folding over to create decorative cuffs around the rim. She brandished a multi-colored curved sword and a pot lid fashioned into a shield, and she wears a stern expression.

A fungus-like girl based on a Devil's Tooth mushroom. Her body is a pale and light, dotted with shiny red dots that resemble blood or eyes all over her head and neck as well as her tail. She looks almost reptilian, with digitrade legs and a long, almost dinosaur-like tail. Her head has a cap like a mushroom, creating the appearance of a sort of visor over her forehead. Protrusions of fungus make long ears that fan out from either side of her head, as well as the appearance of a frill where there might otherwise be hair. She wears a green apron similar to your local barista, and carried a puffball mushroom suspended from a tendril of fungus as a weapon. She looks nervous, one two-toed foot gently draping over the other. She stands in front of a set of glowing blue mushrooms that host a large pet ant that appears to be infected by said mushrooms, with several growing out of its exoskeleton.

A sturdy looking insectoid fairy based on a Hercules beetle. She sports four muscular arms, each with belts wrapped around the hand and wrist. Her dark exoskeleton is capped with yellow-green accents, looking almost like armor. Her nose extends out into a chitonous horn, forming a pair with the larger horn that extends up and then curves downward from her head. She wears a simple denim overall dress, and sports short, spiky purple hair that descends below a portion of exoskeleton that looks almost like a helmet. She stands on a bed of glowing purple rocks and jut jaggedly all around her.

because I see this blowing up, I want to be clear: Newsom "declin[ing] to sign" the other bills DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE VETOED.

the pocket veto _does not exist in CA_, so if Newsom does not sign nor veto them within the allotted period, they become laws without his signature.

Oh yeah. It's uh. Bad. Women aren't allowed to make any good choices and any choices we do make must be criticized and coded as Wrong.

It lets the game still have Chronos face turn, but over a much longer period and, most importantly, through *Mel’s* actions & beliefs. Then, when you want the game to be done, you can warn everyone you’re gonna free him. epilogue credits roll as the same credits we got for main game.

Mega Meg @lotushomage.bsky.social · 10d

After all, knowing his plans are for naught and he’s been undone by his own actions can be the perfect recipe for growth. Let him & Mel have genuine conversations where they still snark at each other but grow to respect one another. Maybe he starts to actually care for her as she’s all he has left.

Mega Meg @lotushomage.bsky.social · 10d

Dreams & nightmares are a commonly brought up thing in the game. Just lock him in a nightmare where every night Mel thwarts his plans. The gameplay loop is you popping in from time to time in either direction to further the nightmare. Maybe even give him the epilogue as a chance to slowly face turn.

This sums up my opinions painfully accurately, though I’m probably a bit less furious.
