My grandparents were natural born German citizens. Until they weren't. I have copies of their documents, stamped "cancelled" by the government.
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

The Lord of the Rings resonates with depth psychology because it is about a special kind of quest. Frodo leaves home not to slay a dragon or win laurels, but to let go of something that will lead to his growth.~June Singer

I’d love to see The Acolyte return. The data shows it was far better received than the loudest voices online would have you believe. Nuanced, character-driven stories about power, legacy, and inner conflict?

we have officially reached the stage of Discourse where making food for yourself is elitism but having someone else make it for you and bring it to your doorstep on command is working class solidarity
i think it is really strange how many of you responded to those posts — which were just observations about cooking at home — as a personal attack or a lecture about your behavior. if reading a short post about being economical with food drives you into a rage, that’s your issue, not mine

Baby, going viral on Twitter was always TRAUMATIC. I don’t think we talk about that enough.
And actually, I kinda feel it’s like that on any platform. Even when going viral is what you think you wanted, it very quickly escalates from “whee!!!” to “uh oh” to death threats.

I went bluesky level viral today (nearly 20k likes) and I genuinely do not understand how anyone ever went twitter level viral without losing their entire minds
though I rather suspect the answer is that many of them did

See to me, Rey's theme is giving very much "first day of spring, greenery and life coming back to the world, Persephone came home to mother Demeter" vibes which is hilarious she's from a desolate wasteland planet

At what point are trans people allowed to exist in the narrative? At what point are LGBT+ people allowed to tell our stories without worry of censorship or removal?

What strikes me about the CEO killer is not his specific beliefs but the fact that he was a very recognizable type of young male ideology tourist. He was a This Explains Everything addict, whether the "this" was as benign as Michael Pollan or as malignant as Peter Thiel and the Unabomber. >

Finally watched Wicked (Which was great!) and I’m convinced that it actually HAD to be two parts for the sole reason that if Jon M Chu was responsible for cutting it down it would be absolute ass.

I am so mad that there’s a lack of #TheAcolyte merch. Other than the funko pops, one or two other figures, and a handful of t-shirts there’s just not much. (I own the whole Funko set and I’m just not a huge t-shirt person) I want pins! And stickers! More merch in general!

Once again furiously remembering how Disney completely wiped the ‘Willow’ series, and cursing the slimy accountant who figured out that mega-monopolies could avoid paying royalties to cast and crew by deleting shows and films from existence; in fact, I’m surprised it didn’t become a big union issue…
