my kids are into “Psycho Killer” right now, so they keep asking me, “mama what’s a killer? What’s a psycho.” This is the future conservatives warned me about, and honestly, it’s not that bad because at least I’m listening to Talking Heads instead of Cocomelon.

The two most important, by far, are Ruroni Kenshin and .hack//sign. Kenshin was my first introduction to pacifism and .hack initiated complicated feelings about gender.

I haven't really watched anime shows seriously since I was 15 or 16 years old, but here is a list that represents my development over childhood. Row 1 is ages 6-9, Row 2 is 10-12, Row 3 is 13-15. Monster is the only exception, I watched that like 10 years ago and liked it when I was in my 20s.
My "9 anime"

Sailor Moon - Dragon Ball Z - Naruto
Cyborg 009 - Ruroni Kenshin - Fullmetal Alchemist
.hack//sign - FLCL - Monster

Listening to punk with my daughter this morning and “Anarchy in the UK” comes on. My 7yo daughter immediately asks me “who is this?” I say “The Sex Pistols,” and she replies “it sounds like the mom from bobs burgers.” Now I can’t unhear it 😅

Went to see a “mystery (family) movie” at my local movie theater. The woman who took our tickets gave us a death stare and said “it’s rated pg” on our way in. The movie was Shaun the sheep.

The OOT remake looks like an unreal engine game? Also, I will still play it with my 4 year old, because they'll be enthralled.

my main piece of advice to aspiring video essay type youtubers is: Make less ambitious claims. You don't NEED to tell me about the direction of society as a whole. You don't even need to tell me a big story about how some person or text is all one way or all another way. just tell me what u see

pasting my thoughts here from elsewhere but ; gachas and mmo's operate under the same core principles, maybe even most multiplayer games at this point. they are designed from the ground up as a way to retain you as long as possible (ideally forever) in a way that preys on addictive personalities

List of superhero movies might? compete with Spider-Man 1, Spider-Man 2, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse: The Incredibles? Logan? X-Men: Days of Future Past? The People's Joker? Maybe one of the Guardians movies?

It's crazy that if I were to rank the top 5 superhero movies ever, that Spider-Man would probably take up four out of the five spots.

Slay the Princess - I don't like "meta" games. I went into this one blind and when I discovered it had no real story I knew I wouldn't like it. That's on me. It just doesn't feel real or human in any meaningful way. I find stories about stories to be drivel.

Infinite - I think that most people (with good taste?) agree this game has aged poorly. I loved the marketing campaign before it released, but I didn't like the first game much and this game is just worse on all fronts.

Now, for a meta critique of my own critiques: RDR2 - I don't like open world games, particularly this formula of open world game. Playing it feels like my brain is being pushed away from the fun. I know this game is beloved for a reason.

Games with high metacritic scores I don't care and a pithy one word review: RDR2 - Boring Bioshock Infinite - Convoluted Slay the Princess (just played last week) - Stupid-metatextual-nonsense (okay, that's three words)

Also, I liked that isaac just had one question: are you gonna take this item or not? I'm playing a nicely made game, but every 2 minutes I gotta pick from one of five options that all narrowly do something that doesn't alter my approach to the game at all, and that's too many decisions.

So many well-received roguelikes I've tried lately ask me to care deeply about a 2% increase in some stat. You can't make me care about 2 or 5 or 10% increase in anything! Isaac was perfect when random shit happened every time you pick up an item. I wish more games followed suit.

It's easy to imagine young kids won't get what's going on, and often they don't, but tonight we watched "Family," with only scenes of people talking. As I took her to bed, my daughter was talking about when Picard breaks down in tears and "let out his sad (rather than keep it in)." Kids are smart!

I stumbled upon a youtuber who makes AI doomer content and it's so weird that the take for a given that AI will someday just control everything (like all human systems) whether we want it to or not? Do these idiots really exist or is it just "good content™️"?

Yeah. I did play Consume Me! earlier this year and that was lovely. I'm probably not being selective enough with what I'm choosing to try (tho, it can be difficult to pick something that needs investment when I know my kids are going to interrupt me every 5-10 minutes!)

You can wish for whatever system you want (I hate the two party system), but calling out the two-party system as a cause of the decline of trans rights isn't a fair assessment. (Sorry to call out a random person in a quote, they don't have much to do with this other than inspiring my comments)
010
i am error @iamerror.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
With more parties, the political power of LGBTQ rights folks would probably be more diluted than it is in the current two-party system. On the other hand, one of the two parties have made attacking trans people their calling card. One has to wonder if that would be as effective in another system.

i am error @iamerror.bsky.social · 20/07/2026
The two party system's relationship to trans rights is pretty interesting, actually, and it's kind of hard to say whether or not it has hurt trans people. On the pro-two-party system side, the majority of dems have kept the party line over the last 10 years, even as trans issues remain unpopular.

I know everyone already can tell this is fucked up, but the small stuff matters for kids! Ask any child of a single mother whose father came around twice a year and showered them with gifts, trips, and "high impact, core memories" how they feel about their father. Spoiler alert: they hate him.

Not to mention all the Fridays I’d go to the library, then call my mom from the front desk and tell her I was going to a friends house (who went to different school than me and was 3 years older) and to pick me up at some random address at noon the next day. Might get called to cps for that today

In middle school I walked to the library every day to hang out with friends. Libraries still exist tho. I feel like today’s parents wouldn’t let their 12 year old walk directly from school to a library a mile away with no cellphone and only the tacit agreement that mom would pick you up around 5.

I am telling you now the best thing you can do as a trans person is get the fuck off of trans subreddits as fast as you possibly can. These people are not your friends and they are not your community. They are miserable and brainwormed and want you so dysmorphic you beg for their approval

My daughter asked why we don't fly an American flag the other day. I told her evil people run our country and bombed a school killing girls like her. We then talked about racism and slavery. I don't know why anyone would be proud to fly the fucking flag. (disclaimer: I'm not black, but my kids are)

Absolutely, it's not a possibility for most parents 😔. My kids are foster children, so they get priority in public school placement, otherwise I doubt they would have gotten into the (quite small!) montessori school. I wish everyone had more choice to avoid screens in school more easily.

It's absolutely a valid reason to bounce. My soon-to-be-second grader's old school had "WIN" (aka screen time) as a class, and they also used it as a reward for good behavior. I argued passionately about it and they stopped having that class for her. Glad she's at a (public) Montessori school now.
