This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Man! I stumbled upon this Uncle Pom figure, and now it's all I can think about. I love Laputa, I'm going to have to try and get my hands on this. www.donguri-sora.com/category/LAP...

Important context to the Supreme Court ruling is that Tennessee only has one gender clinic for kids and it performs 5 top surgeries per year. This entire "debate" is about a phenomenon — large numbers of kids being rushed into hormones and surgeries — that doesn't exist. apnews.com/article/heal...

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Finished! Proud of this one 🦚. An exercise for me in confidence and layering. I'm usually afraid to go too dark or that I will create the dreaded "overworked mud." From a class by Rick Surowicz. #Watercolor on paper 9x12 Arches cold press. #art #painting #aquarelle #landscape

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

A lot of people are cringe and the most "edgy" political thing they've encountered is Hamilton and you're just going to have to live with that and be glad they're not at home OD'ing on white nationalist propaganda. They will be cringe and you can be like, jesus christ that's cringe. It's all fine.

I hope some of you actually take some joy in these pathetic images of this ridiculous and now boring military parade. It's a fiasco and everyone gets to point and laugh. More hard days ahead but for today enjoy.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Respectfully, if you're a white person with a lot of privileges I think posting publicly that you are scared to attend a rally is some real bullshit. It has to be said.

When I started working on Fomoria, I made quite a lot of color and style tests until I found the thin lines+simple earthy color palette style combo. Still working on the layout and Quickstart with @nohr.se. Can't wait to show you what's cooking! #ttrpg #fomoria #morkborg
