Today in Selma and Montgomery, Alabama, crowds gathered for the National Day of Action. Activists, lawmakers, and everyday people pushed back against attacks on voting rights and Black political representation happening across the South. Here are scenes taken by Nikolai Pizarro on Instagram.

PANEL 1: A shot of jack-booted stormtroopers parading down a street. In the far background, two figures are ducking on a rooftop.
PERSON 1: HMM. That can't be good.
PERSON 2: They'll probably come for us soon!

PANEL 2: Closer in on the roof, PERSON 1 is MATTIE. She sits up a little bit and pulls up her phone.
MATTIE:  WAIT. I have an idea. Yes!

PANEL 3: MATTIE, turned away from the edge of the roof. She types on her phone. The SECOND PERSON still peers over the edge.
SFX: BINK!
MATTIE: OKAY. I have canceled my subscription to, I believe, the correct tv and movie streaming service, that should fix all this.

PANEL 4: Same shot, MATTIE turns to the other person, who turns back to her.
MATTIE: Any change?
PERSON 2: Not yet…Try another one maybe?

when bigots say shit like "mass transition regret is inevitable" what they mean is that their goal is to make society so hostile to trans people that trans people decide to go back into the closet. thats why a bunch of terfs got all depressed when trans didn't go away after that supreme court ruling

I do appreciate cis advocates of trans healthcare, especially in these times, but I do wish more of them would let go of the "experts know best" framing. I'm aware it's safe, palatable, sellable, but there's a century of "experts" torturing, converting, and sexually abusing trans people. So.

Evka and Antoine | The Lovers 3/3 tarot card made for @dragonageannual.art ✨ and that's a wrap! i've loved making these illustrations! and it's always a delight to collaborate with the DAA team 🫶 #art | #dragonage | #dragonageannual
illustration of Evka and Antoine from Dragon Age: The Veilguard as The Lovers tarot card

a dwarven woman with long braided hair and her taller elven partner in a gentle embrace, looking at each other lovingly. both are moved off center to the right. they are wearing Grey Warden casual clothes in its recogniseable blue and brown colour scheme. the background is made of soft purple and blue hues in the chape of a chevron, the foreground is made of blue flowers (brona's bloom lookalikes) that also follow the chevron shape. there's white decor and subtle pattern to the left.

i think kids going through puberty get to have agency to decide what kind of puberty they want. blockers were always a compromise position to appease cis people (which didn’t work, and has only served as a method for more control.) bodily autonomy is the only way

This is just going to always be my go-to response to this kind of thing anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...
I do understand: you want permission. There's a machine in the corner wrapped in human skin that makes things out of shit and blood to look like whatever you want (as long as you don't look too closely). You gave one to your teacher and they didn't notice. Your boss told you to use it after they laid off half the team and it was fine. You fed one to your kids and they liked it. You want to know you can use it sometimes without me thinking less of you. You don't need me to believe it's useful, you just want me to be polite about it.

But I am a hater, and I will not be polite. The machine is disgusting and we should break it. The people who build it are vapid shit-eating cannibals glorifying ignorance. I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.

Why decline all these chances to defend feminism? Because to participate would be accepting the premise that our rights and humanity are up for debate in the first place. Once you’ve conceded that it’s reasonable to ask whether women’s equality was a mistake, you’ve already lost.

Techbros seem to love Tolkien, so here's an analogy to help you understand what genAI is. GenAI is The One Ring. You think your use is justified, b/c you don't have evil in your heart. But it came from evil, it is intended for evil purpose, & anything you do with it will be twisted to that end.
Boromir from THE LORD OF THE RINGS, holding The One Ring. He thought he could use it for good, but everything done with the ring turns to evil. He was one of the mightiest warriors of middle earth, and he could not resist its powers. Others even mightier fell to the ring. Do you think you are stronger than them? The One Ring is generative AI.

the entire debate cis people have about trans people is moronic to start but it’s also a debate most trans people don’t care about, being that if we are viewed as “real women or men” or not. no one gives a fuck. it changes nothing about the reality that transitioning rocks

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children. They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.
