50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑 @50501movement.bsky.social · 10h

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Sigh it’s time for our weekly remonstrance:

FATNESS ISN’T IMMORAL YOU FUCKING FUCKS

ICE, Trump, et al are not evil because they’re fat. They’re evil because they hurt people.

All you’re doing is reinforcing hurtful stereotypes and I do unfollow and block when I see it.

#SciFi #book #nerds

Some help? I'm really in the mood for a SciFi book that is themed around alien archeology, mystery, a bit like how Prometheus could have been, or Halo or Mass Effect. If possible, less emphasis on military yawn and avoiding misogyny.

It can harm

There’s many things happening that could leave you disabled and they’re occurring as the regime takes away healthcare & disability support.

This is why wearing a mask is resistance.

Protecting your health is a way to fight back.

Protecting the health of others? That’s community care.

We’re in the middle of a mass disabling event.

Covid isn’t over and Long Covid has surpassed asthma as the most common chronic illness in kids.

Hundreds of kids are in quarantine in South Carolina due to a measles outbreak. Measles disables more than it kills.

All the tear gas & pepper spray?

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.

Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

The T-Rex and the rainbow unicorn… both notorious liars.

If you encounter them in the wild…
Don’t trust anything they say.

Remember that.

Very serious person Andy Ngo has now been reduced to pleading with his audience to please please PLEASE take the dancing antifa muppets seriously

I just dont think its just for the money, the idea their actions are separate from real world politics is the whole point. They just want to do a cool project and tell themselves its okay and that insulation is the whole point and the whole media nurtures that very bubble

No consequences to being transphobic, in fact you’ll be praised for looking the other way if not full on going anti trans bigot

Favourite film? Lily’s Ritual, with Rabbit Trap and Wormtown a very close joint second. Third fave is Landlord, but tbh only saw 1 dud (and that gets a rewatch when I’m less exhausted)

So farewell then Manchester and #GrimmFest . Thankful for @staceysmith.bsky.social’s ardent friendship and a hotel that lets you check out at midday.

Not looking forwards to to the train journey home to be quite fucking honest.

John Carpenter made some of the greatest movies of all time and then retired to make music with his son and play video games. It’s possible he has lived the greatest life in human history.
