No. No. No.

(Nothing against Steven, I used to do this too until I learned that it was a bad idea.)

Swim goggles hit by a projectile (like a tear gas canister or pepper ball) can direct force to the area around your eyeball and pop it out of your skull.

NOT desirable.

Pro tip to reporters and protesters: always have swim goggles in your pockets or bags. They’re small, $10 and if tear gas is used, slip them on & no matter how much you cough, you’ll still be able to SEE without burning eyes.

If you don't stand for the basic human rights of those most marginalised, you dont stand for anything. Fact.

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

They released the whole series on Blu Ray a few years back. You can bet your sweet life I bought them immediately.

We're going to ring the bell this Sunday, September 14th, for the World Wide Wrestling reprint + hardcover campaign! We're close, but can we get to 250 followers by then? Please share!

Square promo graphic with word "Sunday" in large translucent red text at top, repeating with slight overlap 6 times down to slightly smaller yellow translucent text. Text at bottom "World Wide Wrestling Reprint Campaign Launches 9/14". Superimposed are two character illustrations, (left) "The Manager" man with mustache in cowboy hat and green-and-brown western-style suit, holding a microphone and pointing (right) "The Anointed" woman with short brown bob, facing away from the viewer but turning to smirk over her shoulder with a "number 1" finger pointing up, in pink and gray cheerleader-esque wrestling gear.

Mine was Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers. An American space western animated by a Japanese anime studio: Tokyo Movie Shinsha. Ran for three seasons from 1983-86. So good.

I’m confident I’m the only person alive who remembers TIME TRAX, and maybe I was a #teen at the time, but I remember loving that dumb show about a future cop hunting future criminals who escaped to the present

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

With the Korean fishing boat story, it’s hard to see any of these characters being truly all that upset about Khashoggi. It’s all just a day in the game.

Except none of this is a game to me.

Schumer backing anyone but McMorrow in the Michigan Senate race is insane. You wouldn’t believe it if you saw it on a TV show. “No one’s that clueless.”

All this, because what? A black guy was kind of in charge for a while? Women asked people to stop raping them and getting away with it? Black people asked to stop being murdered in the streets? Some strangers want to live and love without hate?

White patriarchy is really bad.
