White boys aren’t the only ones consuming right wing red pill media, it’s a lot of black boys falling into the pipeline too and more parents should give a fuck about it

Now I feel a WIP coming on, but already did something close to this in a short story 🤣

A billionaire could make real Planeteer rings, but they don't. This is how you know there are no good billionaires.

This. And the stress inherent to these kinds of constant existential choices is lethal shit.

Charles Booker @booker4ky.bsky.social · 13d

Tonight, I’m thinking about all the families who are deciding whether to get food, medicine, or keep the lights on.

I nearly died rationing my insulin to have enough $ to feed my girls.

No one should face a choice like that while we’re on track to seeing the first trillionaire in modern history.

There's a timeline out there where I actually get a Star War and write the shit out of some swole Hutts schooling Jedi about their macros and predictable lightsaber combos

Alastor Stuart @alasdairstuart.bsky.social · 15d

Come for the very good, honest discussion of fatphobia in Star Wars through the lens of the Hutts, run like fuck away from the 'BUT THEY'RE SLUUUUUGS I DON'T GET IIIITTT' comment section

A Brief History of Swole Hutts

'The Mandalorian and Grogu' is bringing back a 'Clone Wars' star as a distressingly buff slug—but it's far from the first time 'Star Wars' has contemplated a muscular Hutt.

I'm gonna go 'head and plug some mags people can give their cancelled streaming subscriptions money to:

well, you could read a story instead. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

The cover of Ring Shout by P. Djeli Clark. A white pointed hood with open mouths for eyes on a red background. a pair of black hands raised and curled around the title, where the hooded person's mouth would be.
