we need to start physically knocking modern gender norms out of authors' heads with shovels

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"

the average white male politician with "controversial past social media posts" was advocating for throwing all homeless people in wood chippers. but francesca hong became a punching bag on the national stage for saying awesome shit.

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.

not to imply "think of the US workforce 😭" is the only reason to support international graduate students. many of my students will go back to their home countries or elsewhere around the globe and make a positive impact for EVERYONE. but the world needs experts, and closing doors helps no one.

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.

Minneapolis People's Pride is just over 15% of it's $20k fundraising needs in order to put on a successful event in just over one month from right now. Please consider supporting this event that many people look forward to all year as a community-led Pride event. www.mplspeoplespride.com/donate
 I want to thank you again for being a People's Pride supporter. Since we launched our 2026 fundraiser last week, we've received an outpouring of support from our community, and are already past 15% of our goal!
Now is a great time to support our people-powered event. Our team is in the process of selecting vendors, performers, and more to get ready for the big day.
Consider making a gift today to ensure that our celebration is a success!Help People's Pride
Raise $20,000
Deadline: June 27th!2026 will likely go down as one of the hardest winters in our city's history. To those of us who spent the last few months caring for our neighbors: patrolling neighborhoods, keeping people fed and housed, committing small and large acts of bravery in the face of fascism, our team is so grateful to be in community with you.
Slowly but surely, our city is warming up again. The excitement, hopes, and dreams of summer are right around the corner, and the Minneapolis People's Pride team is looking forward to celebrating our community's history and culture of resilience & resistance with you.
Planning for People's Pride has been underway for several months. As always we have a full day of celebrations planned for the queer community. We're reaching out today because we need your help to make our June 27th event a success!Organizing a large event like People's Pride comes with a lot of expenses to ensure a fun, safe, and accessible Pride event. Your generous gift will help support the following:
• Covering event permit fees
• Paying performers at our two music stages
• Providing free food to People's Pride attendees
• Purchasing masks and hiring Deaf
Interpreters so that our event is accessible
• Covering a portion of the fees for tablers and vendors
As a community-based event, we can't make this happen alone. We remain committed to not taking sponsorships so that our event can celebrate the true political nature of the LGBTQIA+ community. That means we're counting on the support of our friends, neighbors, and allies to make this day possible.
After finalizing our budget, we need your help to raise $20,000 to make this year's event a success, so that we can continue to bring you a people-powered pride that celebrates our community's values in these difficult times.

Loved your V&SW limited series last year. Gorgeous story, delighted to see Vin again(ish 😢). Given all of the traumatic memory losses for Wanda and Vizh over the years, any chance of him recovering those memories? Even if not, has that experience changed their relationship?

This is SO exciting to hear!! I've been extremely curious about his role with the Sorcerous Crimes unit since that was first mentioned in #1. Is Alice Gulliver the friend of Wanda's who got Tommy the job? Seeing them together on panel would be such a highlight.

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."
