I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

idk i just think it's curious that if a cis person wants to clear their name and say they're a good ally they can get articles singing their praises after they did a fuckywucky, but god forbid a trans person have one kinda shitty day and say something mildly rude

You make a video saying that Homarids are in danger of type-errata unless they gain a unique mechanical identity. Specifically you prescribe caring about Tide counters. 2 years later Mystery Booster Commander prints Rikala Homarid King, a legend which cares about Tide counters! It's a lobster...

Spice in its video Saving Magic's Endangered Creature Types. It's standing beside a custom card depicting:

Homarid Bastard [1UU]
Creature - Homarid Warrior
At the beginning of your end step add or remove a tide counter from Homarid Bastard.
So long as Homarid Bastard has 1 or fewer tide counters on it, it has hexproof and doesn't untap during your untap step. Otherwise you mill 2 cards for each tide counter on Homarid Bastard. (There should be an trigger on your untap step or something for that last ability)A picture shared by mtg_tarzan of:
Rikala, Homarid King [1GU]
Legendary Creature - Lobster Noble
At the begining of your upkeep, put a tide counter on Rikala. Then if there are four or more tide counters on Rikala, remove them.
Creatures you control get +1/+0 for each tide counter on Rikala.
Whenever you tap an island for mana, if there are three or more tide counters on Rikala, add an additional U.

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

One drum I keep beating is that the Trumpification of the Republican Party is irreversible. Even after he's gone it will be exclusively cranks, charlatans, and malevolent antisocial goons. "It was always like that"-it wasn't! It's gotten steadily, measurably worse, and he was the nail in the coffin

New, from me: It is fine to disagree with aspects of the pandemic response. But what we saw at Fauci's hearing was something different: a show trial where cranks tried to threaten and shift blame to an public servant. Here is why this is bad for all of us.🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/watching-t...

new deadlock ranked queue has been great I'm completely baffled that people are upset about the 15 game minimum requirement per hero that just seems like a really good system to me to stop people from first trying heroes in ranked

I love how people like this will do anything but admit to the fact that gen ai is just inherently a bad harmful thing with no worth. “Eating human feces isn’t the problem, it just that my relationship to it is unhealthy and needs work-“ OH MY GOD JUST STOP EATING SHIT

Rock climbing update: Really good and tiring session Started and sent a v5, projected out a v5 that's actually a v6+ there's no fucking way that's a 5 but I'm close to getting it, and climbed a v4 twice tired to show people my beta and proud as hell I can v4 *tired* now

am i allowed to talk about how weird it is that the main way liberals philantropize trans people is by donating money to liberal nonprofits for call centers that beg us not to kill ourselves, instead of directly funding our material needs which, when deprived, lead to suicidality? is that allowed?

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️@mady.cat · 6d ago

Sorry i meant to say we need more celebrities to donate $100 million to suicide hotlines so we can call someone who will beg us not to kill ourselves when the state takes away our medication and housing, and then send the cops to our home if we say the wrong series of words. My bad.

You have to care about kids who aren't "yours." You live in a society, and that society extends to children. You have to fight for trans kids, even if your child isn't trans. You have to care about vaccinations and disability even if you're childless. They aren't property.

This has become one of my core beliefs as a communist and an anarchist. I had a bad childhood. So did my only sibling. So did my friends. My affinity groups are autistic trans people. Anyone who does the "I didn't have it easy, and neither should you" thing is fundamentally corrosive to society.

Apple charges people ~20% more than the Patreon list price and they keep the difference for themselves. They also hold the proceeds of iOS app sales for 75 days, making it impossible for creators to accurately predict earnings. They basically inserted themselves in order to rip *more* people off

Any of you using the ios version of Patreon to support me, switch to the browser version instead, cuz the apple fees have actually taken over 3000 usd from me in the course of a year
