Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 07/08/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, we watch as very shoddily drawn sketchy Green fox slowly comes together, becoming progressively more recognisable.

 Shoddy, sketchy Green fox stares in deep confusion as the ambiguous shape of Blue asks him an incomprehensible question.
Blue: [unintelligible words]?
Green: What?

Becoming clearer, Blue looks at Green, who is still thrown off, but now looks almost completely like himself.
Blue: I asked if you just woke up.
Green: Oh. No, not yet.

No doubt most gamers aren't even aware of the BDS boycott. The nature of the dwindling, industry-captured games media is that such real-world issues rarely get covered amid the tide of promotional previews.

In 1993, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" made a Black man the star of a major sci-fi franchise and his character was like the Platonic ideal of a loving father, a great cook, a man who uplifted others, who was kind and tolerant but MILITANTLY so, and who also had flaws like any other human. Hail Sisko

Tired of the relentless sexism of the male-dominated art world, the Guerrilla Girls deployed bold poster and mail campaigns used to publicly call out individuals and institutions. They used irony as an aesthetic, hot pink colors, and ultrafeminine language to deliver scathing critiques.
Guerrilla Girls mail art that reads: How to become a Guerrilla Girl! 1. Think of the name of a black woman artist. 2. Pass it on to a curator or collector.

Star Trek has always been woke, if that's the term you want to use. Intolerance and prejudice is the utter antithesis of what it is. People who hang onto social norms from the 60s as justification for prejudice now are disgusting idiots. If you dislike Star Trek now, ok. Don't campaign for its death
