@UzamakiJ Losing my freaking mind.

It’s my absolute fave Zelda game, and it was actually the first Zelda game I ever played.

[A Lantern of Hope @of_lantern]

@WorldOfAntoine I was thinking the exact same thing.

I f—ing LOVE The City We Became/The World We Make and I know she’d knock it out of the park.

@UzamakiJ Fuck that reminds me, I have to buy the comic (and the game, obvs)

@REXSKIRATA Reminds me of the old N64 game but even better 🥳🥳🥳

Friendly reminder that Pride isn't about turning your straight kids into gay kids. It's about not turning gay kids into dead kids.

I finished rewatching Star Trek Voyager last night, and for all its flaws, it made me certain of one thing: Kate Mulgrew and Tim Russ should have won Emmys for their performances as Janeway and Tuvok. “Riddles” in particular was a showcase of Russ’s talent.

This was my 1st solo run, & it became the longest Storm solo run ever at 20 issues -- 9 issues longer than the next longest. It was also the most financially and critically successful, and a two-time Eisner nominee.

Thank you for your incredible support that made it all possible

Thousands are marching across Argentina after the killing of 14-year-old Agostina Vega.

In Argentina, a femicide occurs every 35 hours on average. But the government has slashed funding to gender violence prevention programs.

Take a slave owner or residential school founder’s name off a street or remove a statue and there’ll be endless screaming about preserving history. But when Israel destroys Tyre - older than all European capitals - in Lebanon and destroys ancient monuments it’s silence.

HORRIFIC: Israeli settlers attacked the village of Madma in the West Bank, setting olive groves on fire and burning hundreds of olive trees.

Today saw an unprecedented wave of attacks, with settlers setting at least 9 fields and olive groves on fire across the West Bank.

[Yanis Varoufakis @yanisvaroufakis]

Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.

As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.

We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.

@WorldOfAntoine Now I’m remembering The Resurrection of Magneto and sighing wistfully…

@RachelLeishman I love that Alligator Loki is front and center

Idris Elba has officially been knighted by the King of the United Kingdom.

He is now Sir Idris Elba.

@UzamakiJ I completely forgot Seven of Nine’s dad was in this!

[Culture Crave 🍿 @CultureCrave]

'Andor' creator Tony Gilroy's Peabody Awards Acceptance Speech:

“We spent six years contemplating a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about what happens to ordinary beings when an authoritarian, insane, unchecked regime comes into the deal, and the show is really kind of what we learned"

“If you’re not willing to fight for the things that you love, your family, community, your culture, your planet, your truth, freedom, there’s an asshole ready to come in and take it away. We learned that bravery and sacrifice and resistance comes in all shapes and sizes, and we learned that courage is contagious"

“There’s so much is happening, it’s a fire hose of crap that you just can’t get through. And here we are. There isn’t a new cycle that goes by right now that doesn’t contain a variety of outrages that in any other time in our history in America wouldn’t be grounds for treason"

“Please do not stop. Please do not turn out the lights until we can kill this nightmare… and fuck the Empire!”
