This is a beautiful story about online communities and a great antidote to all the "kids these days" old people who whine endlessly about all things online being bad.

transmisogyny is just misogyny with extra steps. it was always about controlling how we define women so that they fit a profile consistent with cishetero men's desires and "gender critical" feminists played right into it. now any woman who doesn't look "feminine enough" is in the crosshairs.

Unfortunately am in CapNY or else would love to help. One of the other students in my cohort focuses on games and media preservation in his research, it is important work!

the thing about video game criticism is that all of this is fake and none of this matters, we’re all just making it up as we go, just write whatever you want and have fun doing it

I really can’t watch any of these ice flip videos without thinking about how a white man is being rewarded for accomplishing what a Black woman was punished for doing 30 years ago Surya Bonaly was an incredible athlete and she was treated like shit for it

I keep thinking again, in light of the latest Epstein files dump, about how MeToo “went too far.”

I have 2 professors this semester who are hammering in hand-writing and hard copies over typing and digital. Please don't tell them but... they're right. For me at least, I am able to engage with the material so much better if I have a printed copy.

And that includes conversion therapists wanting to prey on trans and queer youth for immense profit. Blocking access to gender affirming care is part of that.

As we start to dismantle ICE, they will do everything in their power to coverup their crimes. Including incinerating and executing thousands of people in their concentration camps. I need yall to wrap your minds around this. The war is already here. It’s already at your doorstep.

I just finished my final paper for a social media class and chose to write it on dogpiling and *almost* used myself as a case study, but ended up going with a far more bigger profile dogpile in 2021. Whew this topic is not good for my mentals.

I think it’s super weird that Americans normalized spotlighting individual social media posts as “news” and then responding by harassing and doxxing people because of them Gamergate should have been a show stopper, not a starter

Was staying at school studying until midnight, but I'm getting too old for late-night/early AM shit and decided my sanity isn't worth reading every single article 100% anymore, so have started enforcing a "go home" rule by 9pm. Now I wake up at 4:30am instead. Thanks body, really doing me a solid.

I definitely think AAA game prices going up is not some simple expression of cost, though it sometimes is! It is mostly greed and bad decision making. Also, games as a hobby is so layered and rich you simply do not need to spend a ton to enjoy it! Break yourself of your attachment to The Big Thing.

Liberals when candidates defend trans people: "We can't do this, it's too unpopular." Liberals when candidates have a nazi ss tattoo: "it's ok, not all candidates are perfect." Do y'all hear yourselves?!

A fun thing about having vaso-vago syncope responses to healthcare stuff is, I warn the person, they laugh and think, "Nah no big deal," and then when I (6'4" 250 pound dude) pass out on them, they freak out and call code red. I'm not *consciously* afraid of needles, my body just does that.

you cannot “fight for” climate change in a capitalist world. you can “fight for” climate compromise. climate awareness. climate harm reduction. but capitalism and nature are fundamentally at odds. it chips away at her, piece-by-piece, then never pays the price. we must change the system.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.
