There is literally no excuse and no explanation but hated and bigotry to stand against trans people in any way. Rowling is a hateful bigot, "gender critical" shitheads are hateful bigots, and their ilk should be shamed and shut down at every possible opportunity. Do not let their voices be heard.

Billionaires are evil and should never have been allowed to exist.

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

This is what ALL positive acknowledgement of the franchise is bankrolling. If you're going to the theme park or sharing the books with your kids or wearing merch you got from a third party, you're still supporting the franchise, you're still saying it's ok to do the other things that pay her. Stop.

Once again I cannot turn off the light to sleep because there is a snoozing cat on top of me, which is how you know I'm home It's past bedtime, Sophie! I am tired! I had a two hour nap this afternoon and slept like the dead (with a cat on my hand) and I need a full night's sleep for once Cats

The challenge right now is relaying the severity of what’s happening to normies without sounding like a crackpot conspiracy theorist.

report with alt text community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

There’s an Icelandic way of saying of “I’m gonna kick your arse” that translates to “I will take you to the bakery.” A Hungarian version is “you’re prying open the lid of the slap-crate.” And the most colourful threat I’ve come across in Urdu… “my foot is in your butt’s destiny”

Hello, here is some music from my VGM CON 2025 set: Paper Boats from Transistor. Featuring @weebwitched.bsky.social & @mezzocarattere.bsky.social (backing vocals) @unfocusedinia.bsky.social (bass, Red) @stemage.bsky.social (guitar) and Kev Ragone (drums), me on lead vox. youtu.be/HrxKrMP5zJs

I want to message the friends I hung out with this weekend but I don't want to be that super annoying clingy person 😂 It was so nice to be surrounded by people who know me and at least some of whom like me; I really miss being around friends like that regularly

The cat loaves are in bloom!

Yeah. The best marketing spin in history was that Puritans came here for "religious persecution" reasons instead of, "we were such obnoxious douchebags to LITERALLY EVERYONE no one would play with us."

I'm going to lose my mind a bit. It does not actually matter whether the people targeted by Trump were saintly and hyper virtuous, or not. Honestly trying to create the narrative one way or the other is suspicious! It's ultimately about this: people have rights under the law, & must be protected!

Working on an application to perform at a music event (you know the one) and trying to push aside the brain gremlins wondering if it will be safe for me to travel and do things by January, at the rate this is going It's such a minor thing on any scale, but this weekend meant so much to me

In the REM song Stand, when Stipe sings "Your feet are going to be on the ground, your head is there to move you around" he was correct. That’s true, Michael

I’m sorry but if your students use AI to write papers and you use AI to grade them zero school is happening. You are running together on a hamster wheel

It is becoming unbelievably difficult to stay both informed and sane

Do you think Sophie missed me? (Working on my laptop in jammies after traveling all morning, this is a good way to be)

About to take off for Toronto, returning home from VGM CON, and my heart is full. Such good people, such good music, such an amazing community. I love you all.

I love @kirbysdreamband.bsky.social and I know they must love me too because they're playing FFVI music

I feel like @darrenkorb.bsky.social and @supergiantgames.bsky.social might enjoy seeing Red from Transistor leading an audience in a singalong of Build That Wall (from Bastion) @unfocusedinia.bsky.social as an absolutely perfect Red in every possible way

An absolutely magic moment during the Adventure Guild set with glowing moonlight jellies and gorgeous guitar playing

Little reminder for these trying times

Proof I have finally seen the Tonberries live, yaaaaay

So I only got this shot of the Monkey Island title screen and I did not get a shot of the Space Quest 3 title screen because I was filming that entire song for my sister, but thank you WASD, my sister wants you to know she loves you

Not enough bands play Mystic Quest and I am glad Steel Samurai is here to fix that at VGM CON for us right now So much electric guitar, as it should be
