Every time you buy a Harry Potter product, you are financing the dismantling of trans rights

Hey y'all - we're struggling a bit at the moment, and my lovely fiancé has beautiful art to make for and/or ship to you. A lot of his prints are up on Insta too, so check em out and see if there's anything you'd love ♥️ #thankyou #helpartists #ArtSky #pleaserepost

An industry that relies on the theft of other people's creativity and labour is already dead, Nick

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

Dial it back to my great grandmother's childhood, and they'd be the men fetishizing bound feet, so that my great grandmother had her feet broken when she was a little girl, and never walked without pain for the rest of her life. The Charlie Stadtlanders of that era would have handwaved that too.

yeah grown ass men with sausage fingers are also out there painting tiny dolls using nail art brushes so they can play house* with their friends. american men have plenty of manual dexterity *warhammer 40k

Really enjoy getting a glimpse into Xiao Zhan's process, the way he draws on imagination and experience and memory to build his acting performance. youtube.com/shorts/vU3wk...

I'm keeping up with The Legend of Zang Hai. Something about the format of the story is deeply pleasing for me. I think it's because I don't know where it's going from episode to episode. There's twists and turns, and I'm enjoying all of those Oh, we get some martial arts now? Now some sports?

Trump has sent a team from the State Department to meet UK “pro-life” activists as part of his campaign to interfere in British politics, the Telegraph reports. The activists had been arrested for protesting outside abortion clinics. #MAGAcontagion

So when do we get a discount on iPhones, since they apparently can't be made w/out our small fingers? Could call it a "five finger discount" and credit it to the NY Times 😂

I wish. Would make it easier for me to carry my shopping home. Maybe more games controllers would work comfortably for me, and I might not struggle to open jars as much 😂

(Mais pas avec un iPhone, parce que Charlie Stadtlander dit que ça c'est construit par les jeune femmes Chinoise avec ses petits mains)

The racist chucklefucks will next insist that their totally real girlfriend who lives in Canada made the "small hands" comment, and so did their uncle who works for Nintendo

LOL, they're trying to throw "Apple engineers" under the bus for racism, are they? I mean if "Apple engineers" said that Charlie Stadtlander likes to huff his own farts, would that also get printed as truth in the NY Times as well? Take responsibility for your own racist editorial decisions, eh?

This guy is Reform’s new councillor for Stretton in Staffordshire. This is what you get with that party - all they’re interested in is making libs cry. They’re too weak and pathetic to do the hard yards. Imagine what a Reform government would be like.

The latest in a long line of terrible humans seeing if they can destroy people lives before asking if they should. If only sociopaths were seen as bad instead of rewarded.

I finished Series 2 of The Devil's Plan. That was very enjoyable. The games were almost all good. The format with the prison death match was fun. The hidden environmental secrets were exciting. I really hope they make a Series 3 of the show.

The sometimes uncomfortable sensations we feel in our teeth may be an evolutionary holdover from the scaly exteriors of ancient armored fish.

#REFUGE: Stories of War (and Love) is now available for pre-order from online & from your favourite independent bookshops. Pre-orders are ESSENTIAL to books and all too often decide their fates. So please support my newest book geni.us/RefugeWarAnd...

Can anyone suggest some advised OBS recording (not streaming) settings (specifically encoder + rate control) for an Apple silicon Mac? Would usually potter on forums for advice but search is so broken I can't see anything remotely useful.

JK Rowling has posted an application form where you can ask her for money to fund anti-trans legal cases [five minutes later] JK Rowling has received 1,000 copies of the script to “Bee Movie” 🐝

Cover for fan comic about dead twins John Constantine meets the Golden Boy, his deceased womb twin from a universe where John died and his brother lives instead. The Golden Boy is everything John's not, so what does he want? #Art #DCcomics #JohnConstantine #Hellblazer #Artsky

Play with me…?

Superman and Barbie as media occupy near identical places in current pop culture. Everything from their struggles with relevancy in the modern day to how any nuanced media criticism of their stuff gets crushed by the culture war that surrounds them.

No darkness lasts forever. And even there, there are stars.

this entire paragraph is Stephen Pinker openly saying, "I think race science is real and correct."

I spent many years on a menswear forum with Michael Anton, director of policy planning in Trump's administration. My editors asked if I'd be interested in writing something on him. I have so many stories to tell; this is only a small bit of our shared menswear world www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The creep had just shot his load fantasising about our "small hands." Give him some time to recover and I'm sure he'd air some kind of weird essentialising fetish for other races too

They're probably itching to get the callipers out and measure our heads next 🤷‍♀️

I'm not young anymore, but you should all still imagine anyway that I'm raising my "small hands" up, and giving the author and editors of that racist dreck my two middle fingers (turns out they're not just useful for "nimbly" installing screws and other minature parts in iPhones lol)

Doesn't seem like a huge thing to implement, and it could have a good impact www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Apart from transphobia being cruel it's also massively impractical www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Morning Bluesky. This was mentioned last night, but I’m posting again because I think it’s important: I’d honestly ask everyone to read The Sovereign Individual by William Rees-Mogg and James Dale Davidson because it completely explains what is happening in Trump America and the rest of the world.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.

AI agents don't read, but I do. And call me a radical, but I don't dream of a future where society replaces actual critical analysis of the tech industry with the tech industry's own AI products

Hey folks, I have a HUGE request from the Trevor Project and would appreciate help getting the word out. Trevor is now recruiting for it's 2025 National Youth Survey. They need people 13-24, LGBTQ+, in the United States to take it. This research is critical to LGBTQ+ rights. Take it here:

Good morning! #TheUntamed 🐰🐰 #CQL #WeiWuxian
