My sister just got a great deal on a new Louis Vuitton purse during her business trip to France! She’s looking so gorgeous now. Thanks Macron for giving her such a great time there!
That is so awesome! I have about 94 different pronouns that we have coded into our game rn. Everyone in the mutual aid portion uses we/us pronouns, but the leader uses dragon/dragons pronouns to refer to dragonself. This inspired my 9 year old to refer to her teacher as dragon/dragons ❤️
I had to step away from my computer and go sit in the car because I started crying.
We were at the outdoor farmers market here in Texas. Wide open field, constant breeze, maybe twelve people total spread across an acre of stalls. I watched three separate vendors and two customers just… not wearing masks. Standing there breathing on the produce. One of them even laughed and told me to “go back to California” when I asked if they had one in the car.
I know the transmission data. I know outdoor airflow reduces risk. I also know that “reduced” is not the same as “zero,” and that every unmasked interaction is a choice to externalize risk onto immunocompromised people, elders, and anyone whose body has already been marked as disposable by a healthcare system that treats ongoing pandemic mitigation as optional. The fact that we were outside does not erase the political decision being made in real time.
I tried to explain this calmly. My voice shook. Someone told me I was “making it weird.”
I left before I said something I would have to apologize for later in a group chat. Instead, back to the mutual-aid RPG. At least the NPCs can be written to understand airborne transmission and respect their community.
@Polymarket Terrible news. I fear for the minorities in our country who are getting transported to concentration camps in El Salvador and Uganda. They need to be kept here and given a hand up so they can be blessings to our diverse America ❤️
Trump needs to fucking get out of office pronto.
It’s disappointing. As a Queer video game developer, it’s my priority to give our underrepresented community our deserved representation. It’s beautiful. But instead these fucking Nazis who never left mom’s basement decide to be transphobic and homophobic in a fucking video game of all things. Truly unfortunate the society we live in.
Sigh… About my 9 year old daughter. My ex called today, crying, saying he just wants to see our child. I told him visitation isn’t happening right now and he immediately pivoted to legal threats.
What he refuses to understand is that this isn’t about punishing him. It’s about protecting a 9 year old who has already told me, clearly, who she is. Bringing her into a space where that identity will be treated as optional, temporary, or something to be negotiated with a man who still defaults to “he” and “my son” is not neutral. It’s exposure to the same patriarchal refusal that treats children’s self-knowledge as subordinate to adult comfort.
I’ve been the one managing the school emails, the therapist appointments, the constant work of making sure she isn’t misgendered in every institutional setting we encounter. He has offered none of that labor. Instead he frames his distress as the primary harm and expects access as the remedy. Emotional performance is not the same as demonstrated capacity to affirm her. Courts have historically sided with fathers who perform distress over mothers who document patterns of non-affirmation, but that doesn’t make the underlying dynamic any less extractive.
He can file whatever he wants. I will respond with the records of every conversation where he was asked to use her name and pronouns and chose not to. In the meantime the priority remains the same: a child who is allowed to exist without having her reality litigated as a parental right.
@finalwhistle12_ The justice system is broken. A white man can shoot up a school and get off on less prison time than a Black man who slapped his teacher who most likely deserved it. Black people are victims of this oppressive, Nazi, apartheid government.
@Owennfa But this is different. This is fucking GTA6 we’re talking about. We’ll all be retired when GTA7 comes out. Let the gamers do what we want to do!
@DelusionPosting This is true though. It’s extremely racist to tell a Black woman to lose weight and to expect her to do so, as Black women are built differently from white women who can survive being twigs.
This flag. It means the world to me. There’s no other flag in the world that speaks more to me than it does.
It represents oppression. It represents surviving genocide. It represents the struggle for self-representation against capitalism and imperialism.
It represents me as a queer woman, and it represents my demigender sibling beside me, because w have the same fight.
Keep flying that flag high, y’all!
James talarico headlined a Pride event alongside an 11-year-old child drag queen named "Kween Kee Kee."
One attendee posted video of the young boy doing the splits.
Another performance was by an adult man who goes by the raunchy name "Sedonya Face."
The event touted more than 30 kids in attendance. #TXsen
