this year I have read two (2) separate historical fiction novels that take for granted that their characters would find it scandalous or otherwise socially inappropriate for two adult men to share a bed at a boarding house/inn. these books are set in 1828 and 1785 respectively.

can't stop thinking about marvel's midnight imprint brotherhood lineup being 3 siblings plus lorna's boyfriend. this is just a normal 20-somethings living situation in the zillennial housing crisis. magneto pays half their rent and lorna is like "don't tell dad that alex is living here"

i haven't lived in WI since 2021, so I can't speak to how she was as a candidate or what her campaign looked like on the ground, but I wish even ostensibly "leftie" outlets would stop lending credence to the dumb scandal around Francesca Hong's old tweets. she was right about both of these things.
"This is a far better outcome, and says that it is so close that a progressive who doesn't say the dumbest shit in the world, [like] Thanksgiving should not exist, would have won," the donor adviser said.But Hong's campaign has also faced intense scrutiny over a string of controversial past social media posts, including advocating for defunding the police and railing against Thanksgiving. She was later slammed for being unable to give a straightforward answer to CNN about whether she would "cancel Thanksgiving."

Concerns over fake phenomena cannot be held in good faith. There's no such thing as "good faith" concern over razorblades in Halloween apples or vaccines causing autism. If you still have 'concerns' about these issues you are uninformed, a bigot or being manipulated. No other option.

I work professionally in graduate education (non-academic staff) and I cannot emphasize enough how disastrous this rule change will be for postsecondary education in this country. we are reinforcing the existing barricades against skilled experts that the US desperately needs out of sheer racism.

Had to draw these three in classic Affleck poses. In order they're (on tumblr) mythrilsantoku 's, mine, and @howlikeagod.bsky.social 's!
A full color illustration of three people looking haggard standing on a brick balcony. Left to right they are: Fen, a ten elven man. He has short brown hair with a grey streak, freckles, and many scars across his body. He has a gold earring, an orange medieval tee shirt, and red swirled pants. His left hand is in his pocket, his right hand hangs to his side holding a cigarette, and his head is leaned back slightly, lips parted, and eyes closed in a grimace. Next is Alston, a pale gnome man. He has short, wavy, brown hair, brown eyes, and stubble. He's looking to the camera with a grimace, one hand holding a cigarette halfway to his mouth. He wears half moon glasses, a maroon button up, a barely visible amulet, a grey cardigan, and a black ring with a yellow gem. Then Mina, a pink tiefling woman. She has light brown bat-like wings, red curved horns, and yellow eyes with diamond pupils. She's looking exhausted towards the camera, a cigarette hanging from her lips, her left hand holding a mostly full drink in a to-go cup, and her right is holding a manila folder full of papers. She wears a dark blue skirt, white button up, black tie, gold heart half necklace, a brown vest with nightshades on it, hexagonal glasses, and several sets of earrings.

I find the "rules are toys" framing of TTRPG design useful for several reasons: 1. The idea that system matters is reducible to recognising that toys have affordances; while there's no "wrong" way to play with a toy, no amount of open-mindedness will readily fit a bicycle through a basketball hoop.

On June 19th, 1865, the last enslaved people of African descent still held in human bondage received news of their freedom in Galveston Texas—a full two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. That delay was a deliberate choice by the white enslavers in their desperate attempt to hold onto power.

why am I being straightbaited by a fictional couple who were married for 14 years
Panels from Avengers (1998) #4. Vision says "Your vows were 'till death do us part,' Wanda -- and as such, you are released from them. Wanda reaches out, her hand going through the Vision's intangible hologram. She says "Blast it, Vision -- it's not about obligation, it's --" She cuts herself off, staring at her hand that couldn't touch him. She continues, "No, this can't go on. You're ready when I'm not, I'm ready when you're not. I just can't do this anymore. You say we're not married. You say I'm a widow. Fine. I'll accept that." She takes her cape and gloves and leaves, adding "I have to, don't I?" The Vision watches her go. "He says nothing as she walks out of the room, shoulders square and fists clenched, or for long moments thereafter. But when he finally does speak, his voice is low surprisingly tender-- "Wanda..." The Vision reaches out toward where Wanda was. "And far too soft for anyone but him to hear."

Layers: 1. What ICE/CBP is doing isn't making us safer. 2. When ICE/CBP does their work "the right way," it ALSO doesn't make us safer. 3. Human beings deserve respect and care no matter their status, language, or background. If "leaders" can't say that, everyday people can lead by shouting it.
