RIP Chad Gilbert, New Found Glory were one of my true comfort bands, who could turn a maybe into a yes for a gig or festival. The tributes from every band you touched shows you were a truly kind person in a world that needs that so much. 45 is no age at all, FUCK CANCER youtu.be/lK5Sdj08Lco?...

People say "a stopped clock is right twice a day", but I care for a church tower clock and I gotta tell you, clocks don't tend to stop, they just start going at weird speeds, so mostly you're gonna be encountering broken clocks that are only right when you don't expect it. That's the real metaphor.

I think it's bad that the UK press can escalate what is essentially a workplace matter into national news ahead of the fucking country being on fire and then get away with hounding their victim until they die.

Racists describing refugees to Britain as "Boat people" like our nation's most famous hobby wasn't using the boats of the British Navy to take over other countries. Like... British people are, very famously, boat people. We were boat people all over the world. It was our whole thing.

The police didn't see the need to tase this guy and repeatedly kick him in the head, and the media haven't seen the need to make this racially motivated axe and knife attack the top story on all channels with immediate calls for the government to do something about Islamophobia. How odd.

Giles was a queer elder. He knew how to access forbidden information, he was a safe third-space adult, he knew the world was unfair, he led with kindness and compassion but was still ready to fight. He raised a generation of us, and none of it would have landed without Anthony Stewart Head. 💔

Anthony Stewart Head was a great actor, Giles will forever be an all time great tv character, but more importantly he was a great man. RIP.
A photo of Anthony Head and a fan laughing with his horse above a tumbler post reading: If you ever think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you'd best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we've always had a little contact over the years and he heard I'd come out as trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to 'Sarah' and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and took loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay. along with other photos of him as Giles and Uther and he literally spent 5 hours chatting with me and got all the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a final massive hug, waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I got back safe.

A reminder, as we enter into this difficult period for trans ppl in the UK that most of the work that actually makes a difference in the day to day lives of trans communities cannot be posted online. Just because people aren't shouting about what they're doing, doesn't mean they're doing nothing.

A free-to-play PVP shooter, Highguard had a strong launch--around 100,000 people were playing on Steam on its first day--but couldn't sustain those numbers, in ways that...look, you know what, why am I even talking about those figures, writers always do that when talking about layoffs like this, is there even much point trying to dissect the numbers of a game that took years to make, but where ‘most’ of the team gets laid off just two weeks after it came out? Loads of people are now reportedly out of a job, and whatever reasons people can offer or accept for it, none of it seems sane or sustainable.

Okay but Zack Polanski has been coming out with bangers
Polanski is a pleasure to interview because he will answer any question about anyone. Wes Streeting? “Wes is attacking me every day on social media because I’m another gay man in politics who is not willing to throw the trans community under the bus and that exposes his abject immorality. He must know what it’s like to be othered but he’s more bothered about power than protecting the other. It’s disgraceful.”

This image is a meme using characters from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine to express a strong opinion on labor strikes within the video game industry. 
The first character asks if game developers should strike.
The second character responds that all exploited workers should strike.
The first asks if this is true even if it disrupts the industry.
The second emphasizes that it should happen especially if it causes disruption.
