The Pacific Rim engineers that spent weeks building a 30-foot bowie knife for a mech suit to draw from its ankle sheath must have been muttering “Hell yeah” the whole time

Techbros of the singularity/longtermist/effective altruist stripes have always thought that "slowing population growth" is a viable path out of climate crisis. And the answer to "which populations?" is always exactly who you'd think because they are all just fucking swimming in eugenicist bullshit.

People often act different in private or when alone than out and about in the world. People may even *look* a little different without the animation of talking to someone else. This is sometimes a missed opportunity in fiction to deepen characterization, if not considered in writing scenes.

Consider: Antimarriage. Two people who just can't stand each other, and to be clear, aren't married, make a mutual agreement to stay far, far apart and hate each other forever

Someone asked me why I have violent, nasty stuff in some of my books (Mexican Gothic, Untamed Shore) kind of wondering if i liked having that stuff in it and if I didn't like it why include it. No, in real life I like birds, old films, laughing, not looking at pics of murder scenes. David Lynch-

It utterly enthralls me that I live within the timeline where Chuck Tingle has become a well-respected horror author alongside being the breakout of absurdist erotica.

i was crying the day obama commuted Chelsea Manning’s sentence and i’m having a lot of the same feelings right now. make no mistake: Leonard Peltier is free because of the TIRELESS efforts of indigenous and abolitionist activists. may their commitment be inspiration to us all 💙

No, Gaiman didn't plagiarize Tanith Lee (I have a bunch of Lee first editions, I interviewed her once, I know her work). There are a bunch of writers who did gods stuff before him (Adams, Leiber) BUT it does show something I've noticed that a lot of writers from the 80s and 70s have been forgotten-

The torment juice enjoyer showed up, added some weirdass worldbuilding, and then completely dissected the green person's main character flaw so hard that the green person pretty much stopped doing it

Whenever you hear ANYONE blame ANYTHING on immigrants, say: "It's not immigrants, it's oligarchs." Always. Every time. Make it a stock phrase. Make it the conventional wisdom. Because it happens to be true, but it's also bite-sized enough to catch on and spread. It's not immigrants. It's oligarchs.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

this is worth a read thinking about all the times I'd respond to guys on forums and stuff after they said something really horrible about women or a woman and they'd act so perplexed and innocent and wonder why I was so unreasonable and angry all the time these are my mildest examples

The desire to be instantly good at whatever pursuit you have chosen at the moment is the mentality of a child. Most of us learn to respect the fact that there are brilliant musicians, writers, painters. It’s fun to dabble, it’s ridiculous to expect to be good without a lot of work.

I fear there is deep truth here.

Anyway: - Gender is socially constructed - So is sex - Not all transness is the same - Some may have biological predispositions - The only gender abolition of value is the abolition of Patriarchal gender. - Gender abolitionist politics are often, maybe usually, superficial crap - Insecurity poisons

Lesbian, sapphic, whatever you want to call it…the yellow highlighted books are focused on lesbian relationships with no others and the white highlighted books include lesbian relationships among others.
