As near as I can tell it, the literal position of the Democratic establishment and its faithful is as follows: 1) Everyone to their left, as well as anyone in a marginalized demographic, has to vote for who they tell them to in every election and conform all public statements to their messaging...

Part of what prompted this thread (there was oh so much) were Dems backing the openly transphobic Jamie Ager yelling that our local journalism co-op's "one job" was to back him and not report any bad news about his campaign. Most of us are anarchists. All of us are trans. None of us are Democrats.

I was tempted to pirate HP, curiosity and all that. But @jessiegender.bsky.social is right - think of the amount of times HBO commented on GOT leaks and downloads, just as an example. They DO track these things, and even that drives interest. Let this show die. Trans people deserve better.

I went to the grand reopening of the African American Civil War museum this week and the timing is just right — its mission to preserve Black history is more relevant now than ever

It’s genuinely remarkable how complete the consensus around anti-Black racism as an unremarkable feature of public and political life has become.

"I bet all the Malfoid art makes JK Rowling so angry since it's changing a character's gender!" You are a genuine idiot if you believe that. All you're doing is giving her IP, the one she uses to fund the erasure of trans rights, more publicity. Fanart isn't sticking it to her, you pudding brain.

The primary purpose of an Israeli ‘ceasefire’, whether in Gaza ir Lebanon, is decreased media coverage. And Israel was proven right on that.

It's the Fullmetal Alchemist! Oh, and the short guy too, I guess. An Elric brothers sketchdoodle for the day😎 #fma #october3rd #art
Don't forget, it's October 3rd! Never drew Edward, but I do have some old Alphonse doodles somewhere in the house since I always loved his design. Drew him a lot before classes in high school. Here's a little sketch I did while listening to "Uso" and "Again".

Edward here has his arm from the first episode rather than the later redesign that happens around episode idfkin remember lol, rewatch needed. Other than that "3 Oct. 11" is etched onto the forearm and Alphonse has some battel damage while standing faced away.

As I'm typing this, something cool came to mind. Edward is preparing a transmutation here, and someone that has watched FMA could interpret the drawing as him about to repair Alphonse's body after a battle as Edward's cloak is also torn. It shows their dynamic with Alphonse being physically more imposing as the little brother and Edward being a smaller yet caring older brother, evident by his sacrifice of his arm and leg to bring Alphonse back. 

This type of stuff never comes to mind when I'm actually drawing lol, I just said hmmm, back to back brothers, this looks cool🫠

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.

At this point, if no action is taken to enforce this law, it becomes clear that the law itself is a dead letter - and perhaps always intended to be so. Was the passage of this law simply a PR stunt, or is this ACTUALLY the law of the land in New York State?
