No joke if you're not tapping into the english VN scene you're REALLY missing out, we're literally sitting on a massive, burgeoning and flourishing space of trans expression and storytelling unlike any we've had before, with no restriction by market forces
i feel sorry for everyone going all why is there no manga/anime with no trans chars when there exists accessible mediums like visual novels where that actually happens cause we can tell our own stories entirely independently without relying on billion dollar studios to fund and censor the projects
tbh if you're not plugged into the indie oelvn scene already what the hell're you doin!!! the scene is bursting at the seams with cool stuff and there are so many works that are criminally overlooked within it, play some real shit!

I have a friend who said, of Starfleet Academy, that this took them out of it - that seeing a person in a wheelchair in the 32nd century seemed unrealistic, since medicine in Star Trek "should be able to cure whatever was wrong with them."
That's not the case, for any number of possible reasons.

The second, though, is that able-bodied people often think of someone being "wheelchair bound."
For most who use them, the wheelchair is not the issue. The frailty of the body is an issue - the wheelchair is a solution. The disability is what binds you, but the wheelchair provides *freedom.*

The administration is relocating ICE agents to other parts of the country to see if they can achieve better results with the same tactics there.

At Google, speech critical of ICE is censored from the company's internal platform, employees who speak out are served with warnings, and leadership refuses to acknowledge a petition that's now gotten 1,200 employee signatures.

Google is stifling anti-ICE speech in the workplace as 1,200 employees call on the company to cut ties
The search giant has made it harder and riskier to protest its policies. Workers are still fighting back. Plus: A community takes down a data center, QuitGPT, and the 5 worst Super Bowl AI ads.

Another section of #TheSixDomains solidly re-drafted in the new style. This one on the nature of magic, enchantment, and the mineral required for either to occur in #TheSix known as xaethanite! It's an interesting feeling, actually attempting to make a #TTRPG dream I've had since I was 14 a reality.

My general morality here is that if you think raping children is ok you should be guillotined, but hey, this is why I have no political power.
There’s a segment of the right that lives on the reflected prestige of eugenicist thinkers who have been revealed as Epstein-adjacent. I understand the bind they’re in but I think most people would happily cut off former friends who were implicated in the sexual abuse of minors
