I guess the discourse also just reminds me of the fact that when you're deemed a bad person you don't get to be human anymore. You're stripped of your person hood, because having nuance is seen as justifying that behavior. This has been weaponized for copaganda btw.
Clara Mattei brilliantly debunks a century of capitalist propaganda by explaining how capitalism is unnatural, has existed for only 0.1% of human history, took control of the world through violence, and is maintained by coercion and the superficial facade of liberal democracy.
The Netherlands has completely banned conversion therapy and made the practice illegal.
People caught trying to pressure LGBTQIA+ individuals into changing who they are will get up to 2 years in jail or a $30,000+ fine.
The funniest part about the world rallying behind Zoran Mamdani is that he’s literally just doing his job, but by doing so shows us that every other politician is just lining their pockets & leaving us to rot 😭
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 New York has officially banned the construction of new data centers for 1 year.
After that, data centers will pay higher electricity rates than residents.
Uncle Iroh voice actor Greg Baldwin criticizes Paramount over the state of the 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' franchise
“Paramount doesn’t care about ATLA ... The new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"I can speak freely because I’m 65 years old and my pocketful of fucks is seriously depleted"
"Working as a paralegal at various studios in LA for thirty years…I had the opportunity to observe studio executives closely. They’re generally a slippery and clueless bunch who shouldn’t be allowed near anything remotely creative…but the new regime at Paramount is straight up evil"
"These soulless bastards have nothing but contempt for a show about grace and redemption and the struggle against fascism"
"ATLA is a mystery to them."
"They. Do. Not. Value. The. Franchise."
"Who should lose their jobs to AI? Answer… Studio Executives. Ironically…those cockroaches will be the last to go"
"In conclusion… Fuck you, Paramount"

Seems important to remember she disowned him, not the other way around. She gave up perhaps the largest inheritance in human history because that's how important it is to be yourself
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
Okay ya'll, I need help. Urgently. I've adopted a puppy that the previous owner didn't give shots in time, and she's suffering from a severe illness. I don't have the $ to save her on my own.
Any help is immensely appreciated. #gofundme#puppy#urgent

doom all you like, but at the end of the day the very act of coming out as trans is one of unfathomable optimism. it's an act entirely predicated on the chance that you can make a complete and total change of your life for the better. on some level, you do have hope.
