Your kidnappers allow you keep posting on social media to pretend
everything is alright.
What would you post that would alarm your followers, without the kidnappers knowing you're asking for help?"

The modern wealthy (especially in America) don’t build or fund great buildings, now they fund and build perfect/idealized bodies for themselves and their spouses, and fund alternative wellness schemes, hormones specialists, and fitness instructors

I ask you: what happened to the connection between wealth and aesthetics? It's not just that these people funded projects that benefited the public, but more importantly, they funded *craftspeople and artisans.*

To be clear, I don’t think our wealthier are some worse/stupider species of human elites than the Gilded Age. I think we “invented dating and sexual rituals with attractive people involving phones and profiles more than money”, which created a worse and stupider class of elites.

Barack Obama had this and used it to defund ACORN

To pass your agenda a Dem will need 60 votes in the Senate & a majority in the house. In every battleground state voters need to show up to give a Dem President the power to deliver without negotiating. If we fail to do that, we cant complain when what's delivered is watered down

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

What's DC's pitch to a prominent non-comics creator right now, especially from a marginalized background? "You'll get to write a superhero! For very little money! An insane fanbase will bay for your blood! And not only will we not defend you, we'll look for an oppurtunity to throw you overboard!"

ok you need to play the PSP Dissidia games, which make it infinitely funnier by endlessly trying to explain the incredibly stupid crossover lore

and also lightning fucks up the plot so hard that she was canonically not invited back for the second tournament

You should care about trans rights just generally, because trans people are people, they have always been here and they always will be.

BUT if you MUST put a cis spin on it, this is where transphobia gets you. It's either bodily autonomy for all of us or none of us.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage.

Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech"
