Alt specific to this modified screenshot of the original post: an added pink arrow points to the number of likes/hearts, which is 69 (nice). The original alt: Spider-Man is surrounded by tentacles, with limbs wrapping around his arms and legs, and one inappropriately slithering under his costumed torso. In the background the Looter is thrown against a rock wall. Spider-Man: AAAH! I'M BEING FELT UP BY A PERVERT FROM BEYOND SPACE AND TIME!! A real panel from Amazing Spider-Man #653 (2011)

Using one photo already in your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?
Pink lettering indicates newborn Jaina Solo going *UEEEEEHH! UEEEE* off-panel. A doctor, who wears excessive personal protective equipment for delivering babies—specifically, Leia Organa Solo's—looks creepy instead of reassuring as he looms way too close to her groin while giving her a thumbs-up.

From Justina Ireland's "Star Wars: The High Republic: Out of the Shadows", chapter 7. The italicized and all-caps text represents how Nubarron's words are projected into Vernestra's mind: “NO SHIP FOR YOU. YOU ARE A TERRIBLE PILOT, VERNESTRA RWOH, AND I WILL NOT LET YOU RUIN WHAT IS LEFT OF MY FLEET, Master Nubarron sent, the message ringing with finality in Vernestra’s mind.”

Email sent by Pulse Families and Survivors for Justice to @equalityflorida.bsky.social leadership. It was one screenshot, but I've divided it in two because it was too many characters for one ALT.

In summary: Equality FL harmed people with crosswalk rally; needs to apologize and respect Pulse site.
Email screenshot posted at https://www.instagram.com/p/DN2KjSmXBeM Subject: Written Public Apology to PULSE victims/survivors for hijacking the sacred PULSE site Sender: Pulse Families and Survivors for Justice Recipients: Several (BCC) Body of message: Dear Equality Florida Leadership, We are writing to express deep concern and disappointment regarding Equality Florida's recent decision to use the Pulse massacre site as the stage for a political rally. This marks the first time a nonprofit has done so, and it has caused profound harm to survivors and victims' families. What unfolded was not only inappropriate but also retraumatizing. The deployment of the bomb squad-for the first time since the night of the massacre and not due to an actual bomb, just as on June 12, 2016, but due to a box of chalk-created a frightening and triggering situation for many. Survivors and families should never again be forced to relive that kind of terror at the very site where our loved ones were murdered and many of us barely survived. This is not Stonewall. Pulse is the site of a tragedy, of unresolved and unacknowledged violence that continues to harm those of us most directly impacted. Equality Florida's actions transformed sacred ground into a media circus and you used victims for publicity as part of a media strategy. That is unacceptable. For years, survivors and families have endured repeated exploitation-by onePULSE Foundation, politicians, and others-who have used our trauma for profit, publicity, or votes. We know what exploitation looks like. We recognize it immediately. And it is devastating each time it happens. [REDACTED] does not speak for the 49 families whose loved ones were murdered there. So, please stop tokenizing him as the representative of the PULSE victim base, which he is NOT. [Continues in second image.] [Continued from first image] We ask that Equality Florida: 1. Issue a formal public written apology to survivors, victims' families, and the community and publish this on all social media sites ASAP. 2. Commit clearly and unequivocally in writing to never again using the Pulse site as a stage for political events or rallies. The victims, their families, and survivors deserve peace and respect. We will not allow their memories—or our lived trauma—to be reduced to political theater. We deserve a dignified space for solemn remembrance that is not co-opted by either political party for political stunts. We refuse to be abused by another nonprofit. Your marketing decisions also subjected survivors to abusive attacks from your own supporters on social media, simply because we spoke out against your poor judgment. The harm you have caused is irreparable.

I THOUGHT I got a clear phone snap of "Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything" by co-authors @lydiakang.bsky.social and Nate Pedersen at the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum pharmacymuseum.org. But nooo, it shooketh.

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer, on the 9th anniversary of 49 people's murders in the Pulse nightclub mass shooting, called one of the victim's family members or a family's support person an "instigator" and "a second terrorist". 3:23 to 3:56:

Orlando Mayor Buddy Dyer addresses WESH 2 News from outside of the Pulse nightclub. He's wearing a black t-shirt with a rainbow City of Orlando logo that's obscured by the added quote text. In the quote, his last phrase after "um" is emphasized in yellow: "I think it was really just one instigator who has not been productive in the process that caused whatever issues there were. So, I don't think that's a general feeling among 95% of the families. I get from the rest of the families that they're thankful for what's been done for them and the opportunity to go in the building. There has been somebody that has been very troublesome to staff and, um, really has been a second terrorist." Source: https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1AhkJ3eBmN/

Reskeet with an image of your favorite James Bond (wrong answers only)
Screencapture from the PC game "Death Gate", based on the Death Gate Cycle fantasy novels by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. There's a wood background behind the text options and a character portrait in the top-left corner depicts a classical wizard type: old white man, pointy hat, beard, robes. The video game dialogue this wizard's spouting is less classical: "Something wrong with you? I told you. I'm Bond. James Bond." (He leans over to the sleeping dragon and whispers rather loudly.) "I don't think this boy's playing with a full deck." The player is given two response options: 1) No you're not. You're Zifnab. The children told me. 2) Try to keep it together, Sartan. I need some information. (He's Zifnab.) (No, he's Bond! JAMES Bond!)

This way if you're balls!
From the 2D "Clone Wars" microseries. In a sci-fi subway station, near the top center of the screen, there's what looks like a stylized sign for restrooms/toilets. It has a green-yellow arrow pointed to the right below silhouettes of a person with a dress, a person without a dress, and a ball with a V-shape sprouting from the top. (Antenna? Ears?) The image also has a lightsaber-wielding alien (Shaak Ti) fare-evading by flipping over turnstiles and a poster of Yoda giving a thumbs-up.

If Wookieepedia could refrain from taking credit for *my* achievement, that'd be great. I took advantage of the wiki's interest in countering its transphobic reputation to found WP:PRIDE. I still got pushback on acknowledging LGBTQIA+ characters, with excuses that the language wasn't "in-universe".
In this excerpt from Wookieepedia's current main page, the following phrase has a magenta underline to emphasize it: "Project Pride's efforts to improve the wiki's coverage of LGBTQIA+ topics." The complete sentences leading up to that are: "Since 2015, editor recruitment has advanced on Wookieepedia, with the great majority of the current administrators and review board members having joined those groups in recent years. The past ten years has also seen the progress of the Discussions forum and the launch of twenty-two new collaborative WookieeProjects. These include the Project Stardust initiative focusing on essential topics and Project Pride's efforts to improve the wiki's coverage of LGBTQIA+ topics." (Image cropping has left an incomplete sentence, sorry!) Seen on Wookieepedia's main page, but text produced by this: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Template:Mainpage_Box_Welcome?oldid=14483305

Of all the misspellings... they just had to do it the way that people intentionally do it when they hate the guy and/or his work. (It's FILONI) 💀 deadline.com/2025/02/kath...
Dave Filoni name is highlighted because it is misspelled in the following sentence: "According to insiders, Kennedy has been working on a succession plan for a couple years, eyeing candidates from within in process with Bob Iger and Alan Bergman (that puts someone like Dave Feloni who knows the universe inside out in a strong position)."

Sylvia Rivera and the trans community have been erased from the live version of "Pride in the 1990's" (last archive: web.archive.org/web/20250204...)
This depicts the page BEFORE changes. All text that reads "LGBTQ+" has been changed to "LGB" in the next screenshot. Another change was made to the following sentence: "There were separate marches to celebrate those at the Stonewall Riots for respective groups within the community like the trans community, led by Sylvia Riveria." The live version shown in the next screenshot no longer contains the phrase "within the community like the trans community, led by Sylvia Riveria." The full text in this BEFORE screenshot is: "The first EuroPride march, starting in 1992, saw over 100,000 participants. Demonstrations would only grow in the next decade for countries throughout Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America. In addition to pride marches being organized in other countries and individual cities in the United States, people began to break down the specific groups in the LGBTQ+ community and celebrate them individually. For example, the ‘90s would see an increase in black LBGTQ+ marches, which were trying to bring awareness to the specific issues that faced that community. This could also be seen in the highly anticipated 25th anniversary celebrations of the Stonewall Uprising during Stonewall ‘94. In New York City, this celebration would number over 1.1 million marchers. Not all the LGBTQ+ community would be at this march. There were separate marches to celebrate those at the Stonewall Riots for respective groups within the community like the trans community, led by Sylvia Riveria. Just like in the previous decades, not everyone within the community was in agreement. This decade was not an easy decade for the LGBTQ+ community but the next two decades would be seen as a referendum on the policies of the nineties."

Has @cherriielle.bsky.social talked about designing Lula and Zeen's wedding spectacular looks besides brief "I did this!" and I just missed it and can't find it, or something that hasn't happened (...yet?)?

Everyone should be talking, like when @taraphillips.bsky.social did Leia's wedding dress!

Lula Talisola, a young Black human woman with her hair in bantu knots, smiles at Zeen Mrala, a young alien woman with pink skin and tendrils instead of hair. Lula wears a white and blue wedding gown and Zeen wears blue and teal; they both have matching silver bracelets. Confetti falls around them.

The image header has a warning label: "WATCH OUT!" It describes further: "MIXING DRINKS: At best, the wrong drink combination can be unfashionable. At worst, it can be fatal. Make sure you know your mixology or have a trustworthy bartender." Labels point to various beverages on a bar top and behind the bar. The labels are untrustworthy. The text and labeling are from "Star Wars: How Not to Get Eaten by Ewoks and Other Galactic Survival Skills" by Christian Blauvelt. They were added to a photograph of a portion of the Outlander Club set built for "Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones".

Happy Life Day! Guess what? We have multiple queer people to thank/blame for The Star Wars Holiday Special!

One of them is co-writer Bruce Vilanch, out forEVER as a gay man.

Gotta remember that question: "Is [thing] bad, or is it gay, and people don't get it?" www.bkmag.com/2023/12/14/b...
BKMAG asks Bruce Vilanch: "You mentioned you also wrote “The Star Wars Holiday Special.” I haven’t seen the new documentary about it, “A Disturbance in the Force,” but see that you’re in it. What’s the filmmaker’s take on the special?" Bruce Vilanch answers: "Well, it answers the basic question, “How did this happen?” Because ever since Star Wars became the Scientology of the nerds, whenever they discover this thing on the internet, they say, “George Lucas, how could you betray us with this?” A lot of the documentary is about how it actually happened and nerd parsing of the Star Wars mythology. A lot of it is also funny people talking about how bad it was. That includes some of the people who worked on it, myself among them. Even if you don’t give a rat’s ass about Star Wars or about television, the whole idea of it is kind of funny. It inspired me to write a book. I answer the question of how they happened. The book is called, “It Seemed Like a Bad Idea at the Time.” It’s a chronicle of all of these shows that I wrote, including the first Oscars show, which was the notorious Rob Lowe/Snow White show. They’re all in there. I’ve also expanded it to include Broadway and movies, you know, legendary disasters I’ve been involved in like “Can’t Stop the Music.” I discovered when I plumb the depths that they were rich with incident." BKMAG asks: "When does the book come out?" Bruce Vilanch answers: "Good question. I’m talking to the publisher now. Next year sometime." BKMAG asks Bruce Vilanch: "Is 'The Star Wars Holiday Special' bad, or is it gay, and people don’t get it?" Bruce Vilanch answers: "I believe I was the only gay writer on the show and everybody else was straight. Bea Arthur and Harvey Korman were my contributions. I must have had a loud voice in the room to get that stuff through. I write in the book that making it gay was never my intention. Only looking with a backward gaze you can say that was gay." BKMAG's question is: "Is there anything else about the special that gets interpreted with a 'backward gaze'?" Bruce Vilanch's answer is: "I get these emails from people saying, 'How could they allow that blackface to happen on the special?' And I say, 'Blackface? What are you talking about?' First of all, Harvey Korman is playing an alien creature. It’s a humanoid, but it’s not a person. And then I went to look at it and I realized, when we made it, the makeup was purple and green. When someone is watching today through a 45th-generation knockoff of the tape, it could actually look like it was blackface. So I get what they were saying, but that’s the backward gaze again. That has nothing whatsoever to do with what we did."
