I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

Happy Halloween! ^^

This was a piece for the Indie Hype Zine portion of the @indieanimezine.bsky.social that was completed a while ago.
I'm so happy I got to share it in time for spooky season! 🎃✨

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

The children will never know the feeling of being at a 2016 house party and the feral energy that would be unleashed the millisecond people heard the first three bars of Turn Down for What. Simpler times.

One of my favorite things to do in RDR2 is to find Klan rallies and kill them in the funniest ways I can think of. Which makes this latest Ubisoft fumble so much crazier to me.

You’re telling me we could’ve gotten a *whole game* about killing the Klan, and they cancelled it? Loser shit.

We are changing our antifa secret handshake to slap-slap-fistbump-fistbump. Then you snap your fingers once, eat everyone's pets, and make everyone within 50' instantly become trans. Pass it along.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Ever think how lucky we are to have the moon? And how almost every single human being that’s ever lived on this planet has looked up at it? I just think that’s neat. 🥰

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

In the top panel the chaotic queer cat digs into their rainbow bag and tells their corvid friend “it’s not safe to go alone.”
The larger bottom panel zooms in on the corvid’s face, shining with awe, as the cat’s paw gives them a glowing dagger with rainbow facets along the handle. The hand guard is in trans and poc colors to make the full progress pride flag. “Take this.”

Stop fighting on the internet and go for a walk or something. Take a nap. Buy a little toy. It's going to be okay.

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers.

People can and should still pressure him on those bills.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 3d

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

I find this encouraging, from @indivisible.org:

A defining feature of an emerging authoritarian regime is that it makes the opposition feel like shit on a daily basis. Every day, there is some new atrocity committed; some new institution attacked; some new democratic norm demolished. Some of it -- much of it -- we have little ability to stop in the moment.

But that’s not how to measure the health of an anti-authoritarian movement. Instead, we should measure it this way:

Are we more unified than we were before?
Are we bigger than we were before?
Are our tactics proliferating?
Is the regime’s popularity falling?
