there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Hi everyone, just an update, we still owe about $2200 on our payment plans. One of those plans (with ~$500 left) has a much worse interest rate, so I'm hoping to get that paid off ASAP. If anyone is able to share this again, it would be really appreciated. Thanks again for all your help so far <3

also, in case any Friends of Bean want to help [wheel of fortune voice] Clean That Bean:

photo of me awkwardly holding bean the mini dachshund behind my back while she stares at the camera. there’s an inset pic of a little dachshund stamped on paper.

text says: bean loves going to vet and is completely normal about it. speaking of, we’re trying very hard to save up to get her teeth cleaned (and possibly extractions). her stinky mouth has reached uncomfortable levels and she can only eat moistened or wet food. my venmo is kait-sanchez if you’d like to chip in to clean the bean. bean and i will even send you a thank you note with a little bean stamp if you want.

As part of our experimentation with new post formats at PC Gamer, I'm pleased to present this Causality Chain, which chronicles how Stephen King's childhood trauma led to Kiefer Sutherland ordering a fake horse to perform tactical shitting 64 years later:

New from me: "Being engaged in videogames over the last decade has meant watching a cohort of publisher executives inherit an industry of products, professionals, and consumers they seem to actively resent for failing to produce instant, infinite profits."

Does anyone know how to drive this thing?

It's increasingly looking like nobody remembers how videogames work—or cares to.

anyway i think the best we can probably do as trans people is support each other and particularly support trans women. i think in the end the cat is out of the bag and now that so many people know transition is an option, transness is here to stay.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Happy Pride! A few facts: 1) on average, trans men and non-binary people make 70% of what the average cis person does, and trans women make 60% 2) the trans unemployment rate is 2-3x that of cis people, with higher rates of underemployment & disability give money to trans people today!

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

“wet dream” implies the existence of—no. No. I’m not doing this hack shit. One thing existing does not mean it also has an extant opposite or inversion. No one thinks this and it’s usually just a way to write a dumb pun or intrusive phrasethought. I’m too good for this. Dry nightmare
