At a Republican political rally in Davenport, Iowa today someone gave @GovRonDeSantis and @IAGovernor Kim Reynolds a handmade “snowflake” with the word "Fascist" secretly embedded in it.

Polish lawyer Raphael Lemkin coined the term "genocide" in 1943, initiating the Genocide Convention in 1948. The Lemkin Institute warned about the so-called "Gender Critical" movement in November. Things have accelerated since then.

Cat: I'm gonna KNOCK some shit over

Shitty Character Idea:

An ancestral guardian Barbarian/monk whose “flurry of blows” feature becomes “flurry of bros” when they summon their dead companions when they rage.

About six months ago, I ran a weird little Choose Your Own Adventure using the Twitter poll buttons. Alas, Elon has decided those will only be available for blue checks, starting April 15th.

So hey, how about one last hurrah?

“Hunter’s Taunts.” Rings containing the embedded teeth of vampires; both a trophy to signify hunting prowess and a clear declaration of intent to passing vampires and other creatures in the hunter’s jurisdiction. A small collection from the 19th and 20th centuries.

@mostlybree It makes me sad and angry. It's one thing to move to Minnesota because you like snow or lakes or whatever; it's a completely different situation to look around the US and think, "okay ... which states respect my human rights / the human rights of my kid?"

[Ben Purkert @BenPurkert]

my toddler loves pizza and loves bagels so I figured I'd notch an easy win and make him his first pizza bagel and holy shit I've never been so wrong in my life

Marie Antoinette decided to wear lingerie as outerwear which increased demand for cotton which made it the primary crop of the South which instigated a dramatic rise in American slavery.

Shitty Character Idea:

A warlock whose patron is the university that the wizard attended.

[Bo Bolander @BBolander]

watching things like "child labor laws: too strict?" & "tenement buildings: do the poor really deserve windows?" get tossed around is giving me a profound sense of temporal displacement

The online far right and militia movement are both fundamentally more excited about and likely to harangue people outside drag shows than to organize for Donald Trump right now.

Anti-trans rhetoric is where the energy of the far-right is at this moment.

I think we can declare this pro-Trump protest in lower Manhattan over. Maybe two dozen guys in MAGA hats walking around talking to the OAN lady.

They admit they think turnout was low because they’re spooked by Trump supporters’ own talking points about protests being fed traps.

[follow @bencollins on bluesky @oneunderscore__]

A lot of these pro-Trump protesters are repeat attenders from yesterday’s NYC drag queen story hour protest, which the Proud Boys went to and were shooed away by locals.

The man in the rat costume in front of the fake jail tourist trap with me here? He’s one of them.
