related but opposite fun fact: if you click on any google ad for an etsy item and buy anything from that store in the next 30 days, it costs the creator 12-15% on top of standard fees. so if you see something cool..... don't click, type it in

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

This is quite possibly the funniest comment I've ever had left on something I posted. Cis man got his feelings hurt over the racist wizard school story.

I can’t get over how cartoonishly evil this is putting in your fucking “hate speech” policy that a particular kind of hate speech against a particular group of people is explicitly allowed - and therefore encouraged - is the kind of shit that should be done from a volcano lair with a shark moat

I've never understood the weird following and unfollowing cycle if I don't follow someone back immediately. Like I barely use this platform, I'm not worth that much energy. Weird stalker behaviour honestly. Fucking men.

Stupidest take I've seen this festive season: the guy upset because there were brown faces in Wallace and Gromit, because "good British comedies should be white, like all good British things." Imagine being that mad at clay.

I will never forget this. Starmer thinks transphobia is okie doke as long as its polite and you dont offend a cis woman. He has not once condemned the transphobia that killed Brianna outside this. Not once.

Billionnaires stole your living. Not immigrants. Not minorities. Not people who follow a different religion. Billionnaires. Noone needs a billion to live. Billionnaires could easily give you the money you lack and not notice the loss. They do not. They never will.

The earliest known records of people prescribing what would come to be called HRT for kids are almost 100 years old. The regimen we have now was mostly perfected by the 1980s. Jules Gill-Peterson’s Histories of the Transgender Child was hugely revelatory even for ME.

the sheer difference between how the government and oligarchy have reacted to this single murder versus the hundreds (thousands?) of dead children in mass shootings over the years is staggering

A request for cis allies: Report and block Jesse Singal. In addition to his highly problematic history in journalism, he's now actively calling on his Twitter followers to harass trans women he disagrees with on Bluesky.

If you were unclear as to why Jesse Singal is here, this is the point, this is the bit. Trans folks made a space, separate from him, his followers, and the harassment they bring. He is attempting to import those followers and that harassment of trans women here, because it makes content for him.

Never, ever put off buying book one of something because book two isn't out. That's a good way to ensure book two is dropped by the publisher. Sure, a couple of big noisy boys have let you down. Most of us can, do, and are burning to in fact finish what we started, given half a chance.

Murder Ballads are older than the United States! A bunch of them, like Knoxville Girl, are actually localizations of British songs. And they exist all over the globe, including the Mexican narcocorrido. This is going to be an incredibly nerdy thread about songs where people kill people. Fun, right?

My jaw hit the floor when I heard about Gaie Delap's case. A 77-year old peaceful climate protester threatened with being returned to jail...because they can't find a tag small enough for her wrists. As her MP, I have written to the prisons minister Lord Timpson. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

this attitude is the antidote to our plot hole-obsessed, cinemasins-poisoned discourse around movies. movies are not a video game boss for you to beat. they are not a race between you and the plot to see who can figure it out first. they are light, space, tone, color, music, acting and, yes, script.

In short: single payer healthcare is administered by the only health insurance provider in the area, and that is most effectively done by government employees who don’t get paid obscene amounts of money when they automatically say no, because it’s not done for profit.

I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that mainstream American media hasn’t more widely covered Vietnam sentencing billionaires who commit wide-scale fraud to death. I can’t imagine why such a story wouldn’t get more traction in this country. I simply cannot imagine. www.bbc.com/news/article...
