The emancipation of Asuka Langley Soryu: aftermath.site/neon-genesis-e...
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
Charlotte is so brave here.
As I said earlier: it's very upsetting as a rape survivor to see my suffering weaponised to justify these authoritarian measures. Measures which won't do anything to end sexual violence, but risk great injustice – mostly to cut costs.
societies typically talk about human cognition as working similarly to whatever is seen as the latest and greatest technology. that’s why we currently describe the brain as a roguelike deckbuilding game about characters making their way up a spire
Unironically one of my favourite movies and not just because of the cracking Daft Punk soundtrack.
depp v heard makes a lot of this click for me as well. a group of men are angry that trans women can say no to them now so theyve launched a global public sexual harassment campaign against us, aided by friendly editors and reporters who are sick and tired of not being allowed to openly sneer at us
heard got She’s-No-Angel-ed and many *feminists* went along with it bc she was rich and famous. like. girls if the rich famous white lady cant defend herself against a well-documented piece of shit man weaponizing the courts to publicly humiliate and ruin her for leaving him, then we’re all fucked!!
Star trek voyager. Captain Janeway is strapped to a medical bed, with a device around her head. The subtitles read: she's suffering from dysphoria syndrome.
Damn star trek promoting electroshock conversion therapy...
I just want like, 2-3kg extra lean mass 😭
Case in point, I've been "in a surplus" since January, and I haven't gained more than a kilo, and I keep jumping up and down around 60-60.5kg every week.
I'm definitely leaner than I was at the start of the year, but I haven't gotten bigger in the way I planned.
I feel like I need to increase my calorie surplus. I've been trying to get by with just 100-200 over my maintenance, but that kinda means that a single off day—like this weekend when I was dancing at a rave for 3+ hours—completely wipes out the additional calories I ate earlier in the week.
"...these arguments have become implausibly detached from the legal & factual context in which [I/Goodwin] were decided. They fail to take seriously the increasingly serious incursions on the privacy rights of trans people that are likely to occur if the trans-exclusionary interpretation prevails"
Nothing can be as janky as Resi 4 on the Wii. I completed that half a dozen times using the nunchuck.
Hey babe, are you an expenses form I need to email? Because I want you filled and attached by end of play on Friday.
I think people believe the point of progressive politics is to try to convince malicious, bad-faith bigots to not be violent, instead of defanging their movements and making them politically irrelevant.
It's not about "saving the souls of the lost". It's about making sure their harm is mitigated.
Note the "under-18s" framing here, as an attempt to make it sound like it's not just 16 and 17 year olds, who are old enough to make their own medical decisions based on the Gillick Competence test.
What do you mean, I was perfectly sober all night... 👀
Sarah keeps saying we should just get him a full poodle cut to even out his coat once he can go to the groomers, but I'm not convinced...
He's sulking because Artemis gets to go out on a big adventure with the dog walker, and he has to stay cooped up with a cone on his head.
I got new switches, much quieter than the old ones. I kept the old switch on the escape key in case someone tells me it's loud still and I can be like, no it isn't!
Ashley has twin braids in her hair, and fierce pink and purple make up. She's wearing a leather collar, pink fishnet top and a pink latex bra, pink latex pants, strappy leg wraps and white platform heels.
The weekend rave fit was incredible, btw.
Intransigent.
That's what I call it when I'm hooking up with a trans guy.
According to Variety, here is the "hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy" they cut out of their film.
This is just bigotry, folks. Pixar has had dozens of straight characters.
Daily reminder that FUUUUUCK the Walt Disney Corporation, fuuuuuuuck Pixar, and fuuuuuuuuuuck executives and writers rooms that want to keep things to a cis-normative white monoculture
They should each put a bet up on their platforms about the other one being assassinated, and let the market decide which company should be top dog.
Everything is AI these days and if it's not AI it's Cake, and it's a good thing I fucking love Cake because I hate AI.
I looked up popular girl baby names in the year I was born and picked one with the same initial add my old name, so I wouldn't have to change any of my emails.
The “romance needs an HEA” convo crops up every 5 minutes and I’ve been thinking about how I personally need optimistic endings in other genres too. I want the bad guys to pay, horrors to be vanquished. Bleak or ambiguous is real life. Give me fictional wins. (Writers do NOT have to cater to me.)
4 months ago Starmer was complaining about people demonstrating outside his N London home (where he no longer lives) & was introducing legislation to protect MPs from harassment.
Now Starmer himself is the cause of harassment, including death threats, against a Green Party politician; silence.
Not OK according to the labour party: grown adults consenting to and engaging in niche kinks or making porn with other grown adults
OK according to the labour party: working with and promoting men associated with a convicted pedophile and sex-trafficker—until it's politically inconvenient for them
