One point that was brought up and is very relevant: In addition to having normal timing, these abilities now use the stack and thus can be targeted, copied, countered, responded to, etc. Selvala can now benefit from Illusionist's Bracers.

There has been update to the definition of what is and isn't a mana ability with the newest version of the Comprehensive Rules: An activated ability is no longer a mana ability if its cost or effect moves a card to or from a library. Selvala 1.0, Chromatic Sphere, and Millikin no longer count. 1/

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

I hate that, in the year 2026, I cannot easily use the internet to find out what physical stores near me stock specific brands of shoes or clothing. Yes, I can find online shops aplenty, but some things I want to try on in person first, yk?

Hatsune Miku isn't my thing, but THANK YOU WIZARDS for this change. Happy to wait for products if we get a chance to buy them! magic.wizards.com/en/news/anno...

This is very true and real

No. I’m gonna be WORSE. I’ll find a way to be MORE queer and annoying.

There is no version of yourself you could become that would satisfy the people who hate you. So you might as well be who you are.

There are more people who've parlayed middling athletic prospects into profitable careers decrying the inclusion of trans women in sports than there are trans women in sports.

The lib "he's obsessed with men's bodies, so he must be gay as hell" is homophobic, of course, and utterly cringe, but also just misses the point. Hegseth may or may not be gay. I'm not here to say. But his obsession with the male physique is because he's just a fascist.

Olivia Hill@machineiv.bsky.social · 3d ago

Every time I see a thread full of liberal homophobia like this one, I lose some of my faith that we can make a better world.

This is Loki, our Maine Coon and the cat of our hearts, and he went missing today. We have no idea how he got out, but he’s an elder, indoor cat, the whole region’s in an intense heat wave, and we’re really scared. I doubt I have any followers here in Martinez, CA, but if so, help? It’s SO hot

Pisces: Love is in the air. Unfortunately, it’s toxic in concentrated amounts. Side effects include laughter & writing letters.

Jokes aside, I see people go "I think I'm trans but I'm not gonna address it because of all the difficult stuff, what would I get out of it?" And the answer is true joy. That's what you get out of it. Unless you face yourself, fully and completely, and know who you are, you will never find true joy.

"Being trans is sad Being trans is horrid." Shut up. Being trans is great. Look. I've got inner peace and a fucking scythe.

Remember when it came out that Jeffrey Epstein and his billionaire rapist pals had deliberately manufactured modern movement transphobia to make us easier to exploit sexually and no one but us cared?

Bugs, Yaoist@bugsmaytrix.bsky.social · 3mo ago

all of contemporary transphobia feels so manufactured and fake and it's hard to explain how and why to people who haven't felt it happen at them but like people used to not like Really Care; there were shitty people but like no one built their life around being transphobic

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is amazing. I have no real complaints and loved every moment. I don't recall ever laughing so much at a non-comedy movie that was actually good.

I say this with love but it really hasn't ever been latent. We went through a brief period where it somewhat fell out of fashion to be overtly racist/xenophobic/transphobic/misogynist, and I do mean *brief.* MAGA is the rage response to that short interlude.

Peter Marino@mondium.ai · 5d ago

Also, given how quickly this version of the country and society burst up through the ground, it's kind of disturbing to realize that it must have been always latent, simply waiting for permission and its moment

Trans rights are human rights. There is nothing complex about it. There is nothing nuanced about it. There is nothing to debate. Either you support humans having rights, or you don't.

Squishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.

ashley 🌹@clearlyashley.bsky.social · 7d ago

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry

This is the kind of hate JK Rowling is funneling endless funds towards. ACTUAL LEGAL changes designed to make trans peoples lives as difficult as possible. For once the courts decided in trans peoples favour, but they are appealing the decision. Supporting Harrry Potter projects makes this happen.

Astrid@astridsramblings.bsky.social · 6d ago

Sorry for the SM graphic but they have lost their JR attempting to ensure that trans people must, under all circumstances, be searched by a police officer of the same sex assigned at birth - including intimate and strip searching. Occasional good news

Writers, sweet Baby Cthulhu, don't knock yourself out preemptively trying to prove you didn't use AI. The burden of proof is on the person who accuses you. I have a hearty 'fuck you' waiting for the first person who suggests it about my writing. My longhand first drafts are for me alone.

It's clear that many cis people aren't aware how truly fucking awful the New York Times has been towards trans people and that it is not just a bit transphobic like so many others but a leading voice that has been cited in legal cases taking away the rights of trans people.

If there is one lesson I have learned in this fucking awful, exhausting culture war, it is that if you dont stand for something then the people watching you will see that it's okay to not stand for something. Every Tim Horton's purchase you don't make now makes Harry Potter more harmful to market.

Mike Friedman@mfriedmannola.bsky.social · last wk.

Don't fucking buy Tim Horton's food, y'all. Don't buy anything that ties with with Harry Potter. DO NOT GIVE THAT GARBAGE PERSON ANY MORE OF YOUR MONEY. She doesn't need another cent of it. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Mail day!

Underestimated: Rot-Curse Rakshasa The real power of RCR's renew ability is to stop X targets from blocking permanently. If this card gets deployed early and dies, it can feel like it comes out of nowhere late game. Overestimated: Esper Sentinel Honestly a little mid at most B2/low B3 tables, imho.

Hey #edh Share your favorite cards no one can seem to threat assess correctly! This could mean that your opponents frequently OVER-assess it, being more scared of it than they should be... OR They UNDER-assess it and constantly miss how much work it does. Bonus if you share one of each!
