sophie's showing me back to the future parts 2 & 3 for the first time and i've come to the conclusion that marty, doc, and biff all hold a piece of the triforce.

idk why people dog on the power of friendship as a trope b/c don't tell me you've never had moments where you feel a friend heal ur soul a little

im juggling in a jester outfit and i announce vacantly to a group of people "please throw pies at me, i dont even know if its a fetish or not and at this point i dont care" END. an onlooker says to her friend, "i just dont know if i can condone what this implies, like, geopolitically"

Mascot Horror and other permutations of toon nostalgia interest me primarily as a study on the way younger generations engage with the death of corporate, toy-based cartoons. Its clear there's still a strong desire for such media, despite its hey-day being long gone.

Also I like toon feet.

shoutout to birdbrain teto for being transgender

bluesky's got problems but one of those problems is not suppressing links to external websites. it is at this point arguably bluesky's single biggest selling point that they do not do that. this site drives hella traffic. you're okay baby twitter can't hurt you anymore!!! put the link in the post

A graphic with two vertical halves. The left half, with green background and check marks, says: "A safer internet IS MADE BY Encryption, Privacy, and Open Source"; the right half, with red background and crosses, says "A safer internet is NOT MADE BY Age verification, Scanning communication, or Tracking & data collection." #saferinternetday

It's releasing on April 1st because they're going to actually release The Ice Cream Elephant Movie instead

No book is going to turn kids into someone else. But books will regularly show kids other people like them and show those kids they're not alone. And they'll show kids other types of people who also exist. There is a large proportion of the population who are terrified of this.

I spent hours of my life riding……ICE CREAM elephant

One last thought on jealousy and envy of more successful peers:

You’re not a monster for feeling it. Jealousy is a reaction, nearly an instinct. It’s the easy way

Being happy for ppl’s success takes practice. It’s a *conscious decision* you make over and over. It’s hard at first, but it’s worth it

sometimes i just put on playlists of sonic heroes character voice compilations while i work. this is a very normal thing to do. I like hearing how to control a character once they've been turned into a ball on a pinball table. maybe i *will* use the L button or R button to control the flippers

Every indie comic memoir about the author’s queer sexual awakening at 16 is under attack but a child rapist gets to start wars for fun and torment immigrants and trans people. Cool country we’ve got here.

Just realized the "problematic kink/media" thing is literally just the "video games make you violent" argument with a different coat of paint.

People playing shooters dont actually wanna shoot people by default, they're playing a game.

You can fill in the blanks with any kink, it's always the same

The funny thing is I know multiple de-transitioners who are loved and respected within my communities. Trans people are all to happy to acknowledge and embrace the experience of de-transitioning after exploring it, as long as they don't weaponize it to claim trans people should be suppressed. 🤷

Extremely problematic content on main 🐾

a tumblr post reads "been listening to the knuckles raps from sa2 while pretending to not know the music is from a video game and i highly recommend the experience. really good from the perspective of a normal rapper who talks about ghosts trying to kill him and his ability to telepathically detect gemstones in the earth" a reblog reads "i did this once while driving a classmate who knew nothing about sonic to college and she said in full seriousness 'it's so sad that he feels like he can't depend on anyone but himself'"

doing this with the cave story rap

Metal sonic has some of the most Transgender quotes of all time:

"That is why I transformed my own body with my own hands," or "see me as I am, no longer afraid of anything," or "I shall become the ultimate overlord!"

If sonic team weren't cowards she'd have transitioned several games ago.

It's very bad, because there's a genuine problem here—the Israeli state is incredibly evil, people are rightfully furious about that and how much support the U.S. state gives them, American Jewish communal institutions have lashed themselves to it—and also it feeds directly into insane bigotry.

Call. Now.

Bother the fuck outta your reps.

its kinda wild how much the IDW sonic comics skipping ahead past Frontiers has made me give more of a shit about literally anything in them lol. That series was stuck in Post-Forces for wayyyyy too long. It feels like it has more room to breathe now.

A tumblr post from orteil42 (cookie clicker dev) that says: am i losing the drive to create things for an increasingly alien and hostile world whose mounting taste for fascism feels like a cold metal vise around my skull or am i just lazy and unmedicated and looking for excuses

Sorry for the lack of activity it’s literally just this

Susieless arms

tbh SFW “wholesome” artists need to start sticking their necks out for their not so wholesome comrades instead of just clamming up out of fear. Thats how we got to where we are now too.

Didn’t see the ice cream elephant part of the Mario titans hoax thing and thought my timeline was just going through mass psychosis for a day or two

Just to reiterate for everyone in the back of the room, this IS NOT A GOOD THING
