It's crazy to me how popular Harry Potter used to be with gay ppl my age prior to JKR becoming the President of Transphobia. Like I just know there's some 35 year old trans woman out there who named herself Hermione who's spent the past 8 years and change just absolutely seething at that choice

Boring guy, tokusatsu enjoyer, ally, Canadian, cat lover. No crypto or AI shit. I block accounts without posts who try to follow me.
More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.
my birthday is on the 18th, so gonna take the opportunity to drop one of these for anyone interested 🫶🐇
I slipped off the side of the sidewalk and fell down. I got a nasty scratched bruise on an elbow and I think my ribcage muscles will be sore tomorrow but I came out of it okay I think.
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname
I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.
RFK Jr said these words today on national television "There were ICUs that were empty all over the country including in New York at the height (of the pandemic)" hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You are a fucking idiot hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha <sobs silently>

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying
It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

more people need to view "AI" as a dismantling of society by a handful of super wealthy pedophiles
KRIS 6 employees are slated to be laid off amid Scripps' plan to boost core profits by shifting toward an AI-powered newsroom model.
Think about how you are in the shrinking bubble of people who know how to read and process the meanings of written words, and how a handful of billionaires are doing their damnedest to shrink it further. You're in a literacy bubble, and a handful of the wealthiest freaks in history are killing it.
"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo

Youtube recommended me a video about an American whining about Canada booing their National Anthem 🙄 and the comments were full of snowflakes pretending we don’t have freedom and being scared of our cities. If you don’t want to be treated as a villain don’t act like one.
If it wasn't apparent enough that Eli Roth's new film is evil and you should cancel your ticket, it also uses generative AI!
As admittedly curious as I am to see that Ice Cream Man movie and as much as I enjoyed Thanksgiving, Eli Roth is pro-genocide and a sex offender and it would be best to skip the film, or at the very least use a free ticket
My thoughts on Bluesky not being welcoming to Republicans is Trump blocks disaster relief to states voting blue, & is also legally codifying anyone who opposes him as a terrorist deserving violence, & his kidnapping brute gangs terrorize the streets, & there's much more but I'm out of characters
"Bluesky is a political echo chamber" okay but I'm mostly here to chat with fun internet people and post art and make jokes, I cannot stress how much I don't care
Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

When the House Hippo first appeared on Canadian televisions, it seemed that everyone wanted one to appear in their homes. This commercial became a part of the Canadian cultural landscape and even today, the House Hippo is beloved by Canadians. 🧵 1/10

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play
