I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

If you are in a position where you can do anything at all about this, please, please advocate for women of color in media. There are so few women and nonbinary people period. Even less of them are non-white.

Once again, I have had the pleasure of riding along with this whole trilogy, and I cannot wait to assign it to my students. The innovation in the whole trilogy and the way it deals with ethnicity, power, and how far people go to attain basic creative freedom is a powerful set. A24 better lock in.

Whoa-ho, a bunch of gorgeous copies of our second annual anthology just arrived at Chase's home. One could arrive at yours, too, by purchasing Rascal Year Two from Heart of the Deernicorn's webstore: heartofthedeernicorn.com/product/rasc... (A limited second printing of Year One is also available!)

Five books splayed out on a wooden table, four of which have a snowy illustration of a massive possum. The title reads "RASCAL".

In my opinion Democrats get nothing nothing NOTHING by betraying trans people. They hurt themselves with a good deal of their committed voter base, and still don’t get the Republican votes they are so fucking obsessed with winning over. Lose-lose! People hate voting for squishy moral cowards!!

Dolly Parton did a huge amount of good with wealth she largely worked to earn. 9 to 5 is a Marxist text & permeant karaoke banger. She stood with queer & trans people throughout her life & the world was a better place for having her stay a while.

I think the most off-putting TTRPG trope is the "I will tell you I hate DnD before I tell you my name" guy. I get it, you're too cool for it and you have opinions - get a podcast or something.
