she/her; autistic. I'm on the road to recovery just in time to watch the internet die.

I mean if you want to boycott media that is in bed with the Trump administration you need to start supporting and enjoying independent media instead of trying to find the one good megacorp that doesn't exist. None of us in indie games have gotten a single solitary text from Eric Trump.

sick of hearing "bearded trans men will be made to use women's bathrooms" in misguided pushback against the EHRC guidance. beards don't give you threatening superpowers. as we've seen with countless gender non-conforming folk, if i entered a women's toilet, i'd be the one at risk of attack

right-wingers have their violently stupid ideas, of course, but it’s somehow even more insulting when they want to create discourse on the humanities they are fighting every day to defund. fuck off and go vibe code a racist gambling app you absolute piece of shit

You might think it's racist to melt down about the appearance of a black woman in a movie, but have you considered that progressives do a totally different thing?

"Is fearr Gaeilge Bhriste ná Béarla Cliste" (Broken Irish is better than clever English) though originally well meaning is now used as an excuse by learners to be ok with poor Irish instead of putting work in to learn correct Irish (but apparently that opinion is elitist).

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

No. Your childhood nostalgia does not matter more than the lives of real people. And frankly I'm fucking tired of having to pretend that isnt a fucking insane thing to say in response to "please don't support the hate monger lady's soggy, reheated nachos"

If you start from "should I feel guilty about supporting JKR?" I can kinda see how the issue might look muddy and complicated. If you start from "what does affirmative support for trans people look like" the answer is crystal clear.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

'Horses' Developer and Epic Game Store Contest Events Leading To Game's Ban

Santa Ragione says Epic's handling of the matter contradicted two months of prior approvals, and did not provide adequate pathways to appeal.
