Every year at #NYCC there’s one cosplayer that takes the cake, the cookies AND the pie. It’s only Friday but I think I found the one.

Reminder that one of the punkest acts of resistance against fascism is putting a mask on in shared air.

It immediately marks you as a brave and safe person for disabled folks. It’s not easy to stick out, yeah.

So imagine how we feel.

It’d be great if you wouldn’t help them by extending the benefit of the doubt, following dubious health advice, treating their side as “reasonable concerns”, and particularly and especially refusing to get vaccinated, wear masks, and clean the air.

LMAOOOOO

A bunch of comedians tried to make up for their participation in the Riyadh comedy festival by donating their pay to Human Rights Watch and Human rights Watch was like “nah bitch we don’t want your dirty blood money” 😂😂 I’m dying

Human Rights Watch Doesn’t Want Any Riyadh Comedy Festival Money

Taking money from those who took money from Saudi Arabia would impact perception of the org’s independence.
