Anime styled graffiti art on a train car depicting a male demon looking seductively at another man while saying "That's a good boy", with the phrase "kiss yr homies goodnight" in the bottom left corner.
Artist seems to be "Akira BPD"

when you go from square to queer, you aren’t swapping one rule set for another. you’re abandoning rules. that’s the point.

Esper Quinn 💠 @esper.bsky.social · 5h

the Hard Rules thing here is so prevalent in queerness overall, and so embarrassing every time i see it. follow any trans subreddit and 90% of all topics are “does this count?!” or “how does This work??”

you get to build your identity yourself and you get to use the word you want. that’s queerness.

Zoe TunnHELL ➡️ NYCC (Friday only!) @zoewithasword.bsky.social · 6h

The idea that lesbians and lesbianism is only WOMAN LOVE WOMAN is a modern idea and like other prescriptive gender and sexuality definitions is more built around people demanding their identities have Hard Rules so that they can feel like they are part of an in group versus actual lesbian history.

Still thinking about Capenna's Humors-Based-HRT

A screenshot of text from the Magic the Gathering story "No Tells" by Isaac Gellman. It reads:
"I don't get it, Yuma," said Elnor. She was cool for a woman with thunder pointed at her; I could smell the power, like the smell of rain coming to the desert. "Weren't we good to you? Didn't we accept you when nobody else did? Didn't we hook you up with the best body-man in the city to change your humors, to make you a fella?"

Every smartphone in the world contains a CPU descended from one designed by a trans woman in the 1980s. The Matrix is one of the most influential movie franchises of all time. Electronic music was pioneered and popularized by a trans woman. I could go on

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 20h

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

Funny you mention that

io9: In the west, Vinland Saga is often grouped with Berserk and Vagabond as a kind of “seinen big three,” much like Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece were for shonen. What do you make of that comparison—especially in terms of how these stories center men who endure hell and emerge gentler, rather than perpetuating cycles of violence?

Yukimura: (Laughs) Wow, I’m very honored! Since the beginning of working on this story, I had this really strong feeling that I wanted to say something. This is something about morals and the state of the world. How we are submerged in violence and wars. There was something that was triggering me: “There’s something wrong with this picture.” I really wanted to tell this in a way that everyone could understand. That was a strong feeling that I was focused on writing the story. To be perfectly honest, I don’t know how people will perceive my work in the rest of society. I have no real good sense of that.
