When Clive Barker was working on the MUMMY remake for Universal in the early '90s, he had a trans character in the script, and when the studio vetoed it, he basically said "I really can't stress how much I don't need to fucking make THE MUMMY" and left.

sometimes I wonder what exactly I managed to do to get so fucking lucky with having so many incredible people as my friends

I am actively in the (expensive) process of leaving this country, something that feels much more urgent today than it did yesterday.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

And which has *always* fucked. I've never watched an ensemble show that understood so intimately who all of the characters were on the first episode, or with such a consistent creative voice. "This is going to be fun, and also smart, and also, fuck Oligarchs."

worth remembering that the old line about the italian fascists making "the trains run on time" is not derived from the fact they actually figured out transportation, but instead were very loudly propagandizing despite repeated policy failures to the point it became a joke

I truly cannot overstate how low the bar of entry is here. Pick up anything that can make a mark on anything else and join in on mankind’s ancient tradition of communicating through art

a reminder that "death of the author" is not a balm to assuage your guilt for engaging w/ media made by hateful people it's a media theory that ignores author intent, preferring reader interpretation so sure "miku" wrote it, but you still gave a bigot your money and they're using it to harm folks

I genuinely just do not understand transphobic bigots. Why would someone want to go out of their way inflict harm on trans people when they could just leave trans people the fuck alone.

The right craves "The Day of the Rope," and have for years - because they fantasize about having power, not any of the work that using it even for evil ends by definition requires. Part of their fantasy is that problems are simple, and that wielding power is easy.

Slow, creaky morning where the soundtrack is Smosh "Try Not To Laugh" videos, and I'm thinking about a question Shane answered about whether he's ever "pity laughed" on it. His answer was a level of nuance that changed how I consume that kind of content. "I laugh if it makes it funnier."

“Biologists may have been building a more nuanced view of sex, but society has yet to catch up.” This was written in 2018, and here we are still yet to catch up.

Some would say "sneaky tactic" others would observe that odometer fraud is a federal felony. A creative prosecutor could probably tack on some conspiracy and mail or wire fraud charges too.

I am mashing my temples in sheer frustration because a ruling that is obsessed with legalizing discrimination against trans women on the basis of our "birth sex" also explicitly carves in recognition of the sociality of sexing, almost surely to make "perceived sex" something to be challenged.

Kidlit colleagues, just a reminder that JK Rowling *funded* this challenge over the definition of women at the Supreme Court. Every time you choose to work with her, platform her, take a stance that aligns with her, buy her books, nominate her for more awards, she uses that and funds hate.

Toad sat on the edge of his bed. “Blah,” said Toad. “I feel down in the dumps.” “Why?” asked Frog. “I am thinking about tomorrow,” said Toad.
