During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Honestly from everything ive seen from you the romance lit community seems like a cesspit of toxic mean girls shit.

Like theres a difference in like "it not being your thing" and like, the sort of denigration fujoshis and femhet writers/readers seem to do.

Like I think people are free to like trashy bullshit, but I always see sooooo much pretense about why liking slop is radical actually

Do you think its has to, like in addition to just the bg misogyny of everything, a specific internalized misogyny in romance lit circles?

Like part of me desperately wants to be "different strokes" but I cant deny that the structures involved highlight certain types of work and suppress others

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Some time back I decided I wanted to do a Danganronpa pack that I would later put on sale. I've abandoned the idea, but I still have some finished pictures that I never released before. So enjoy :) #bodyinflation #baphoart

You speak of broader society requiring labour to maintain itself; that must too be abolished.

Fundamentally, we are against the Socius as phallocratic structure. Anarchists like @infernatrixsophia.bsky.social and me desire to destroy the universal.

The problem is any organizing against the system is at the end of the day just an expedient. We should not raise tools that have potential for liberation to the status of fetish worship

ScherzoPrime @scherzoprime.bsky.social · 4d

Anarchism abolishes classism by abolishing class itself. Identification as a 'worker' would be absurd following a revolution, because the social conditions that force the identity of 'worker' to exist would be abolished

@patstaresat.bsky.social watching you and Woolie's Dont Look Up review; you mention you'd've liked it more if it had less jokes. I think they should have just straight up ripped off Dr. Strangelove. (Depicting things that are completely absurd, but framing it still as a serious thriller)

There's some discussion about how the characters in scenes are off model in the trailer. Animation isn't about pretty pictures that fit into your pfp. It's about movement and creating the illusion of life. This is a very toxic tendency in the industry to make every frame perfect

That sorta Faux-Elizabethian prose can be obnoxious in FFXIV too, especially since its so inconsistently applied.

Chicago has journalists. We and others have been documenting ICE attacks on our communities for months. If you're going to parachute in, the least you could do is acknowledge the work already being done here, and demonstrate care for the community being terrorized.

bill burr is doing what they hoped this event would achieve by spreading the word look how fine and normal this place is for a rich straight white man willing to accept money on the simple condition that he just be very careful to not joke about any of the wrong people or he'll die in foreign prison

What a disappointing dumb fuck Burr turned out to be. He's impressed that there's Starbucks and Burger King? Try saying something -- anything -- on stage about your fellow Netflix writer and comedian Abdul Aziz Al-Muzaini.

www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...

Screencap from a Hollywood reporter article that says: When he flew into Saudi Arabia, Burr’s nervousness crept back, but he was struck by the amount of local Western influence. “You think everybody’s going to be screaming ‘death to America’ and they’re going to have like fucking machetes and want to like chop my head off, right?” Burr said. “Because this is what I’ve been fed about that part of the world. I thought this place was going to be really tense. And I’m thinking like: ‘Is that a Starbucks next to a Pizza Hut next to a Burger King next to McDonald’s …? They got a fucking Chili’s over here!”
