Note that liminality is a philosophical term for a transition or boundary. The dread of liminal spaces is the sensation of the moment between stepping off a cliff and actually falling. An empty building is waiting to be occupied and it feels weird when it's not. But there's more to liminality.

More proof (as if we needed more) that the Israeli government is not in any way motivated by the well-being of Jewish people. Netanyahu is Jewish the way Trump is Christian. A con artist using religion he doesn't believe and culture he doesn't care about to justify a personal agenda.

Better still, this an AI image. Doubtless the prompt was some permutation of "crowd of happy people in an American Greenland." An AI given access to millions of photos of America concluded this is what defines America.

Tempting as it is to mock people who just figured out what some of us always knew, I try to remind myself not to focus on the fact that they didn't notice until it affected them personally. What matters is they are here now. We need to all be together.

Worst question people ask a pagan priestess: "So you worship Satan?" Bonus, I used to be an editor and I lost count of how many times someone asked me if I would edit their book. Usually hoping to get it done for free.

We don't need to compromise. If someone is soft on genocide (read: willing to look the other way on Russia or Israel) or not vocally opposed to bigotry, I will not be voting for them, and neither should anyone else. Take notes, democratic candidates. We have expectations.

You can't be a billionaire and a good person. If you're a billionaire, it's because you've chosen not to help anyone when you could have changed lives with absolutely no impact on yourself.

Houndoom says: Treat, now.

A realistic houndoom pokemon, which resembles a doberman with horns. They are on a dark background with embers floating in the air and smoke rising from their nostrils. They are staring at you with great intensity and orange-red eyes. This is an acrylic painting on wood.

Identity is not conditional. This isn't difficult. Even shitty women are women. You don't get to be a bigot because someone who is a minority is an awful person. All you do is delegitimize your criticism. If you misgender Caitlyn Jenner, your opinion means nothing anymore.

So it's unclear whether or not these people were actually hired by the protest organizers, but if they were, then they were acting outside of that capacity just by being armed at all. Which makes this murder. You don't just fire into a crowd because you think one of them might be dangerous.

Alan Alda is a treasure. His autobiography is titled 'Never Have Your Dog Stuffed' and his life has been exactly as weird as that title implies. And he's just... a good human. MASH still holds up at least reasonably well compared to other media of its time, and that's mostly down to him.

If you think "woke" is a bad thing, I hate to break it to you, but Mr Rogers knows you can do better. Ms. Frizzle would be delighted to explain biology and how being transgender works. Elmo thinks you should be nice to immigrants. And LeVar Burton says if you want to ban books, you are the problem.

This man was a danger to himself and others even before they put him in charge of the healthcare system. He belongs in a mental health facility as a patient, not in charge of the whole system. The patient is literally running the asylum.

It's never helpful to say any form of "not all [oppressive majority group]." I promise we all know not all [oppressive group] are actively engaged in deliberate oppression. But enough are that we get to talk about it any way we want, and you have no right to object.

Fuck the cis. They are the reason trans people get suicidal. I had very firmly explain to a queer therapist that my depression wasn't a legit barrier to transition. I was depressed because of transphobia. Like being told I couldn't have HRT until I was magically not depressed.

Explain your username: DoveWithScales is a pun. Dove is a nickname my husband gave me, and it stuck. I wanted an online handle which would be unique and memorable, featuring the name Dove. I'm a dragon, named Dove. So I'm a Dove with scales. Which I'd say is pretty unusual.

This is a lie. Elon Musk was an abusive entitled little fuck in high school. He bought Tesla and paid for the right to pretend to be the founder. That's always been public record. There was no time before it was obvious Musk was a bastard. Anyone who ever thought otherwise was deluding themselves.

If a cop is assaulting and/or trying to kidnap you and you don't know they're a cop, or believe they are a criminal impersonating a cop, self defense is legal. A good lawyer would make the case that these people are acting in a way that casts doubt on whether they're really cops.

I am loving seeing so many discussing how the entire economy is basically fictional. I've had so many people look at me like I'm nuts for trying to explain things like the fact that stock brokers feeling anxious causes recessions and GDP has no correlation to quality of life in a country.

Robots taking all the jobs objectively is not a bad thing. Having a society where one group of people cannot survive without producing labor for another group (regardless of whether or not the labor needs to be done) is the bad thing.
