Thought I'd make a thread of my free-to-use political art. If you want an SVG for stenciling or stickers, or something higher res, DM or reply and I'll put it on Limewire or something. More to come

Okay, I'll make a thread of 50 indie games which I'll add to over the week, staring with.
1. Carimara
Play as a little goblin creature summoned by a witch to investigate what's haunting her cottage, it's a creepy bite-size mystery akin to the Frog Detective games, and has gorgeous visuals.

My mom was an ER nurse who refused to administer a rape kit to a 12 year old because of her beliefs on abortion.
She was quietly allowed to retire at 55 with a full pension and a quarter-million dollar "retirement package." She hasn't worked a day in 18 years.

About Dr Beth Upton, who is the REAL victim here, although you wouldn't know that from looking at the media;
-the victim of transphobic court procedures,
-the victim of a viciously transphobic media
and

I was playing this party game today where everyone has to write unique one-word clues (dupes are eliminated) to lead the guesser to guess the round's secret word, and I mumbled that mine might be "too online".
The secret word was "rail".
I wrote "sundress".
The girl next to me cackled.

Let’s be CRYSTAL CLEAR:
If a man born Chet Williams became Chet Anderson when his stepfather adopted him as a toddler, and Samuel Anderson as a young adult because he didn’t want to be named after the man who abandoned him, his name on that wall would be Samuel Anderson.
There’d be no question.

There's a quote attributed to Jonathan Swift, though opinions are varied about whether he actually said it. Makes a good deal of sense whoever coined it.
“It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.”

You know that OU student who was failed by her professor for getting all biblical in her paper? When you read the actual article she was assigned to respond to, it becomes pretty fucking clear that she didn't do the assignment. She didn't respond to it. She wrote her own bullshit.

Could be a solid step toward getting people pissed off enough to demand that surveillance pricing and surge pricing stop for good.
NEW: A newly enacted NY state law requires retailers to reveal whether it used "surveillance pricing" to decide how much you pay for goods. Target, for example, shows the alert on a pop-up when you try to buy eggs online. @regret.bsky.social—@wired.com's new investigative data reporter!—reports:
Your Data Might Determine How Much You Pay for Eggs
A newly enacted New York law requires retailers to say whether your data influences the price of basic goods like a dozen eggs or toilet paper, but not how.

If I was head of the WI and an 80 year old trans woman told me it was the only place she'd ever felt respected as a woman, and the British State told me she wasn't allowed to bebin the WI any more, I'd be putting out a public statement declaring the WI to now be an armed guerilla organisation.
This part is *infuriating*. This cis woman heard an 80 year old trans woman say, 'This is the only place I've been respected as a woman IN MY LIFE.'
And did not immediately think, 'I will fight every inch like a dying badger to keep her in my organization.'
Absolutely pathetic.

i am not usually shrill about media consumption as a moral metric. i read historical romances, a genre riddled with colonial fantasies and gender essentialism! but the thing is that none of those authors are billionaires converting my money directly into anti-trans violence
