we’ve really gotta come together and condemn shit that is Loser Behaviour. hating trans people? loser behaviour. bitching about women? loser behaviour. watching kick? loser behaviour. gambling on kalshi? loser behaviour.

i can’t stop thinking about Revenge Of The Nerds. not actually the charmingly romantic 1984 cinematic tale of sexual assault, but the dichotomy it represented. nerds are misogynists; and jocks, why, they’re also misogynists, but jocks are the natural predator of nerds.

We have masked militias closing down ports while the press denounces the useless disabled scroungers. Tell me, if you don't think this is fascism, what is it?

It's post-hoc justification. They want to cut benefits to disabled people so they can get a bigger house. Either that makes them absolute monsters, or all disabled little are scammers and fakers. So, you see, how easy it would be to get a story like this in the paper with those incentives.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.

Power Rangers is classist, M*A*S*H is classist neocon dreck, Iowan romance novels are classist, science fiction is generally classist, Furry Liberation is classist. Masscult under Marxism is inherently classist. Sorry to spoil your 'fun'.

we see this prevailing in other places, too. like how no matter how unpopular israel becomes, companies still aren’t abandoning it. they’re banking on their brands being so ubiquitous & us having so few choices left, we’ll just drink our starbucks and say thank you.

everything WB is doing right now - cramming HP references into all their shows, the radio show, the TV show, the promotions at tim hortons ETC - is to make Harry Potter one of those things like Star Wars or Disney Animation where we cannot culturally imagine it not being there, so we’ll be passive

I genuinely am begging people not to watch the new HP show. Like, also don't buy any branded stuff - she makes money off all that. But especially don't watch the damn show.

Soad is completely torn apart watching her son Omar starve helplessly. Any of you out there with kids, can you imagine the agony of watching your kid starve to death? And before October 2023 she was just like any of you, a great career as a nurse. Her son is dying of malnutrition. Save him & give.

Olivia Rodrigo’s Daisy Chain Fields concert raising $20m for abortion care nonprofits (among others) while putting on an absolute banger of a show should be getting more play than it is in the millennial retirement home that is Bluesky

Having ADHD is like playing a videogame where the current mission is 'Save world, kill demonlord!' but you're too busy collecting 27 dragonflies so you can help a farmer impress his girlfriend...

I keep coming back to saying this, but "none of us is free until all of us are free" isn't just a theory about power, it's a statement of the threat to humanity posed by our tolerance for injustice against others.
