Oh so NOW they want our movie??? 😂 Do yourself a favor, buy it on Blu-Ray when it comes out in a week and OWN it. Support Ketchup Entertainment and their tireless work to help distribute our film, both in theaters and physically.

In happy news, my meta examination of Scottish tropes in international media is back on track. In less happy news, the more I read about how and why they developed, the more furious I get. For example, in 1745, this discussion happened: #scotland #history

Unfriendly reminder that Israel is destroying Gaza because America is allowing and arming it, & that this has been true since long before Trump was elected. Yes, Trump is a piece of shit who wants to destroy Gaza. So was Biden.

I'm crying right now. I have been getting right up my MP's nose about this all, throwing facts and data and information and quotes and everything at them and to know so many of us have raised our voices that we're getting to them, getting responses, getting *action* has me bawling.

I want stability for Sesame Street obviously, and I’m glad they have a deal. But when I was young, Sesame Street wasn’t dependent on the decisions of profit-driven enterprises, and I wish it weren’t now.

Let's just pause and remember that being pro-trans, feminist AND anti-racist was, just a few short years ago, such a normal idea that it was embraced by Conservative PRIME MINISTERS. David Cameron gave April Ashley an MBE. Theresa May promised trans self-ID.

So when people said that the attacks on trans people were the first part of eroding women's rights too, yeah, remember that bit? :)

Today in wild reasons the 'British' government gave for banning kilts in the late 1740s: well, it's so much cheaper to make one-colour southern clothes, they'll be grateful we're saving them money

This flew under the radar, but thanks to Trump's EPA cuts, Energy Star could shut down for good. Energy Star isn't just a sticker on your appliances. It's an important program that saves consumers $40B/year. So much for all that talk about "efficiency."

After-tax income under the Trump/GOP budget: -People making less than $17/k year: LOSE $1000 -People making between $17k and $51k/yr: LOSE $700 -People making over $4.3M/year: GAIN $389,000 This is what class warfare looks like.

I cannot emphasize this enough: Please do not use AI tools as therapy. Not only is it not a good replacement for actual therapy, but your chat logs could be shared with the government, and I don't think you need a reminder that especially right now in the US, that could put you in danger.
