Lovelies, here's a shiny new episode of Starship Alexandria for you! @aptshadow.bsky.social and I discuss Ursula K. Le Guin's The Lathe of Heaven, recommend some music, and announce what next month's discussion will be about. Enjoy the blooper at the end too! starshipalexandria.com/episode-3-th...

The playbook that the US government is running in Los Angeles is the same one the Empire ran on Ghorman in Andor. We've seen where this is leading because it's the same place it has historically always led. The US government will force escalation from protesters and use it to justify a military rule

I'd love a dark twist in Murder, She Wrote that leans into the meme that she's the real killer. A nice old lady who has turned her crimes into successful novels and each week bumps off some corporate jizz stain and frames an equally huge jackass for the murder.

Kind of enjoying watching divisive or unpopular politicians in the US pulling an Eddie Valentine from the end of The Rocketeer.

you don't see husbands realizing they forgot their anniversary and searching for a gift and seeing the necklace their wife wanted in a window for $50 and pulling out an empty wallet and moths flying out and then seeing a poster that says "BOXING MATCH FIRST PRIZE $50" and saying "hmmm" much anymore

There is no such thing as a "perceived right" There are rights. Rights that apply to all humans, cis and trans alike Bigots want trans people to simply not make a fuss while their rights are stripped away. And for cis people to stay out of it FUCK THAT SHIT. You will have to go through me

I've been really excited about this but rubbish at promoting it. A thing! I made! In an actual art exhibition!

Your reminder that pressure to curb trans people's rights to use public loos opens up everyone's manner, clothing etc to intrusive scrutiny and potential challenge in our daily lives. History also shows allowing erasure of rights for one group soon sees others targeted. This is not a 'them' issue.

We really went from: "Bring back the Rani and canonise Looms" To:"Doctor Who is too nostalgia driven" so fast I'm surprised the fandom doesn't have whiplash

What has Delirium Satan with a paper mache globe missing Tonga, the movie Sinners, a time lord, a remake of Legacy of Kain and a 1951 movie about a hulking killer carrot in a boiler suit have in common? Beyond being discussed on this weeks episode? Nothing. blackdogpodcast.com/the-thing-fr...

Even if "white British" will be a minority in the UK in 40 years - so what? Seriously, so what? What is so terrible about that? Make people spell out their horrors. Make them spell out the things they are supposedly not allowed to say. Make them own it.

Just learned from @nicolerprause.bsky.social that JK is hosting an event that wants to frame pornography as violence against women and Mary Sharpe will be speaking. Sharpe is a karezza enthusiast, a sexual practice that teaches that orgasms are harmful to women. www.thenational.scot/news/nationa...

Remember that period when sci-fi writers decided that the main universal constant of any parallel universe was a successful, zeppelin based, transport system?

It took us so long to have the right to love who we love in public, and we’ve embraced this change so beautifully that some of the younger kids now don’t understand how recent it is. It all feels so fragile now. My heart breaks for Jonathan and Tristan.

I do freelance subtitling for a company that does not reimburse me for the software license, so this month, if you need any transcription/subtitling services, hit me up. I'm like a thousand times better than AI because I understand mumbling actors with accents and I have to pay rent.
