Tidal Blades 1 and 2 are gorgeous. I got the ttrpg book too, i love it so much. Red Dragon art is… fine. I’m never looking for much out of those games so it’s fine… Never played Tales though, which i guess is longer :P

fascism is the logical conclusion to capitalism. no war but the class war.

i don’t know what to do but it can’t be nothing. i don’t know how to get the rest of us moving. Feels like nobody is listening.

Certainly not by pretending nothing is happening or everything isn’t about to get substantially worse, or by shrugging shoulders and hoping someone will save us. We’re past that point, and it’s astounding to me how many of us have our heads under the covers hoping the boogeyman goes away. It won’t.

This will absolutely summon something. I’m not even sure you’d have to solve it, i think it just happens if you look at it too long.

Yea. This is what i’ve been saying. I don’t know if nobody is listening or they’re just acknowledging it quietly, but i can tell you most of us aren’t prepared.

i don’t know who Pinker is but this is a severely cut-off, unnatural take, like something an AI would say

We’re taller because we’re better and have better taste.

i’ve been saying this for years: neither sex nor gender are binary and both are mutable, and it’s ridiculous to desire that fact not be as true as it so obviously is.

the thing is, holy hell, if disney and marvel had the balls? they’d make the new x-men an allegory for trans people and our oppression by state and public. the story is right there, staring them in the face. but they won’t. fuck disney.

Perhaps the most fucked part of all this is that trans women in prison will be housed in men’s facilities, no option to change that. This is a violent bill in so many ways.
comment in response to
post
Another correction: presumably the part about suing facilities only applies to the listed sites, and not private businesses, though obviously that will fall next.

Hard to know what’s going to happen. They have a senate but not house super majority, so a veto could stand… but we have a number of transphobic democrats and several who simply likely won’t show up to vote, on top of a repub party that plays dirty, calls votes at fucked hours, little to no notice

More horribly, though, removing the option to amend the BC means any trans person born here will never be able to have a corrected BC even if they leave the state. One more of many many states already like this.
comment in response to
post
I expect they they will also remove the option to change sex/gender on NC licenses before long, but this bill won’t do that.
comment in response to
post
That’s not currently correct (i’m going through the process now). With this bill people won’t be able to amend gender on their NC BC, but you don’t need a corrected BC to change sex on drivers license in NC, there are other accepted documents.

yes. it’s the most secure app out there if used right. that’s WHY they were using it: to discuss illegal and immoral actions that won’t be traceable. we should be using the same tools.

oh yea, it was amazing
and as always: magneto was right

that would probably be fun, but i haven’t read much of that. not sure how you explain the different universe of x-men in that story though, from what i know of it. hopefully the new F4 makes it work.
comment in response to

start reading and absorbing. it’s a lot if you’re new to it. a lot of it will be uncomfortable. sit with the discomfort.

i actually thought this was fake, fan-casting, at first.. but apparently not? yes to more fox-era x-men!
i mean, fuck disney, but the world needs the x-men right now.

this whole thread is long but needs to be read. if you get to the point where you want to start preparing and acting in earnest, download Signal and let me know. our brother and i are already talking frequently.

some of us are. follow my comrade Logan, and similar accounts. we need to be building the world we want to see, right now.

Oh, my mistake: people can sue the facility. That’s even worse. Every queer place is closing.
comment in response to
post
It’s worse this time. With this, people can sue trans people who use the bathroom. I can’t imagine what the burden of proof will be but you can anticipate a lot of privacy invasions.
Also included in the bill: people born in NC will not be able to amend gender on birth certificate.
Violence.

I’m very concerned that this was even considered an option, if course. I’m so so so concerned about what AI is going to do to what’s left of my industry.

The game can’t possibly look that bad :P
It’s probably very simple: marketing team is understaffed and/or inexperienced, was given still images and told to make an animated trailer with limited time, or a previous idea fell apart and they needed to scramble to put something together.

You probably won't see the work being done at first, if it's the lasting kind we need. Yes, those doing direct actions -✨️may the gods bless them✨️- will be visible, but the quiet work of millions is what will make those actions stick long term. Do your part, & know others are too. Just work your oar.

Okay but i need you to digitize and send me that Hobbit soundtrack, don’t just gloss over it like you didn’t say something to make me literally salivate.

Trans friends: make plans. Multiple plans. Don’t panic, but prepare. Make sure every trans person you know is doing the same. These plans will look different for all of us depending on several factors, but there’s a lot of overlap, so help each other make them.

State and federal governments are already really pushing the fraud angle on transgender people (see the wording of the trans military ban), and we should expect this could happen within the next couple years, maybe less due to the accelerated fascist timeline.
comment in response to

This bill has only one sponsor and is extremely unlikely to pass or even get a vote, even in Texas… but something that fails now and seems impossible is more likely to keep coming up in multiple places over the next year or two until it becomes normal thinking.

Presumably even if you pass through the state and a cop pulls you over and you show your updated ID, they could throw you in prison and now you’d have all the challenges a felony on record presents.

“Misrepresenting” yourself to the government or an employer (saying you’re anything other than your agab) would be a felony. This would naturally include documentation.
