Federal officials carried out a dawn raid at the home of a Democratic congresswoman who’s long been a thorn in Donald Trump’s side.

Never watched a full episode of Strictly, but the BBC showing themselves to be pathetic yet again by blurring out a participants “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt. Their excuse will be that it’s a political statement so had to be neutral but we know it’s because they can’t show an ounce of humanity to us

People saying that the BBC don’t allow slogans or advertising on clothing… Well that’s obviously not true (including a blatant Adidas logo!)

the bbc: its totally fine if one our actually fully BBC employed news presenters changes a quote from someone else to make it bigoted. also the bbc:

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

the crazy thing about this trend is how badly this exposes that these people have the same attachment and awareness of video games as scalpers do for pokemon

this is so fucking sad

Elden Ring's massive, monstrous bosses often have cool mechanics and move sets let down by the engine's unwieldy camera. Social contagion can help explain my weapon passing cleanly through their ass cheeks and doing no damage.

Talia "ATTACK DOGS is out now!" Bhatt ⚢@taliabhatt.itch.io · 4d ago

Transphobic rot has truly spread and taken root in the minds of the media because they're trying to make "social contagion" stick for every issue from menopausal women who want hormone treatments to the right-wing demographic panic. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a tranny.

i think about this tweet every day

It’s time to pick a side

The tipping point was that they had to see a trans woman outside of porn

Something that i dont see talked about regarding the famous Laverne Cox trans tipping point cover is that the trans representation that was being celebrated and “normalised“ was the depiction of a trans woman abused in prison Dunno looking back im a bit like, oh, yeah

onlycans@onlycans.bsky.social · 4d ago

trans tipping point was a giant cis wielded cultural magnifying glass that insisted hypervisibility was the final step in a cementing of our social existence.

Callisto Khan @Persephone Effect Out NOW!@callistokhan.bsky.social · 5d ago

I don't think it's a coincidence that so much discourse around marginalized people tends to revolve around how some of them CAN conform. They focus on ace people who like to have sex, autistics who are "high functioning," lesbians who have sex with men, non dysphoric trans people. This is presented

Weirdly enough, my opinion on this has almost reversed. I still think the characterisation of DS1 is accurate. I think the "sweaty, neurotic need to own the player" is actually more characteristic of DS3 — but, since I've recently publicly gotten salty at DS3, *also of ELDEN RING, which I enjoyed*

eerie dickgirl@eigenvectrix.northsky.social · 2y ago

tl;dr DARK SOULS 1 gives the impression of being designed to challenge the player, often brutally. DARK SOULS 2 has a sweaty, neurotic need to own the player, and exhibits it constantly from the opening cinematic onward.

'Social contagion' might be my new favourite way of saying "yeah we have no real idea but this sounds kinda scientific-y right"

Gender is European. Trans is bourgeois. Patriarchy was invented by Queen Victoria in the 19th century. There can be no shared experiences between misogynized people within and outside the West.
