One thing, I do feel allegory is powerful and important, and the X-Men are often (not always) a great example of that. Sometimes, the reader is doing the heavy lifting in this. It's just that I also feel marginalized people need representation IN CANON and not as robots or aliens sometimes. 1/

Protest idea: throw eggs at republicans. Since they cared so much about egg prices…

Adi Shankar needs to go check himself into a psychiatric ward. Like, who the hell plays a game about being an half-demon doing crazy acrobatics with a sword and gun while making wisecracks and is like “you know what this reminds me of? Muslims!” That’s a neurotic level of hatred. #dmc #dmcanime

WTF?!? 🤬

Another thing to add, it’s not just men who have this mentality. It’s a pervasive part of the patriarchy and it affects the minds of women too. Many women have been taught to judge a man by his paycheck. This perpetuates the system too. Everyone needs to lose the materialism. You are all valid!

Summarizing, a lot of societal problems would be solved by teaching men to detach their self-worth from their paycheck.

I honestly think this is an under-appreciated aspect of the rise of fascism among men. We are taught by our culture that we are to be “providers.” Nobody is doing well in our hyper-capitalist society. This is causing a panic among men because it makes them insecure.

To all of the other men out there: YOU ARE VALID NO MATTER WHAT NUMBER IS ON YOUR PAYCHECK!

I will never understand the appeal of Asmongold. Legions of dudes were like “Ah yes the stinking unwashed unkempt fascist goblin with rotting teeth living in a filth cave, so based and cool! I want to see him on my screen and hear his opinions!”

You know the 6000+ species of deep-sea animals predicted to live in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the eastern Pacific, which is the target area for manganese nodule mining? Here's some of the "further research" required to explore that biodiversity, by @evastewart.bsky.social and colleagues 👇

We should call the tariffs what they are: the AIT (American Idiot Tax). We let a bunch of idiots elect a bunch of other idiots to run the government and now all of our imports will be more expensive. #tariffs #Trump #MAGAts #Americanidiot #USA

Something I was thinking about today is how much I enjoy hanging out in queer spaces even though I’m not really queer. It’s because it’s such an accepting and nerdy community. 1/

This one really hurts because I respected her. She was one of the people who encouraged me to go back and get my PhD.

I just had to unfriend someone I knew from Texas A&M because she decided to announce to everyone “I am anti-Semitic” and “the majority of Jews are disgusting” in the context of the Palestinian genocide. Imagine going from “I’m anti-genocide” to “I am racist.”

Gail-baiting works everywhere, it’s a universal constant.

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

Chuck Schumer needs to resign.

@schumer.senate.gov MAGA is going to call you a baby-eating communist who wants to destroy America no matter what you say or do. You might as well join us progressives and put up a fight. Stop capitulating. It’s useless.

Man I would wanna see something militaristic and intimidating here at least, Jesus…what, y’all gonna send your infantry out there with blue and yellow faces looking like drunk football fans? (Actually that’s kinda rad…)

Trump gets humiliated by Obama at the White House dinner, he runs for President and wins. Musk gets humiliated at a huge comedy show, he manipulates Trump and also wins. There is a pattern: male ego, money, power, and public humiliation. It’s a recipe for fascism. #trump #politics #elonmusk

Yet you voted to censure Al Green like a COWARD!!!!!!

🔥 Rep. Al Green is not new to standing up

This is the accurate list. You can find it on clerk.house.gov/Votes and look it up yourself. My apologies for spreading that false information earlier. Call these guys. #nomoregoinghigh #democrats #algreen #votethemout #congress #politics

That list I posted was sourced from Times Now News which might not be reliable. I’ll own up to that. Anyone have an accurate, verifiable list of names of these 10 democrats? We need to spread the word.
