How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

have been desperately looking for this old erotic Spanish comic I stumbled on almost 10 years ago called "El secreto de Frankenstein" and I'm so happy to report I finally found it

black & white comic panel depicting a sexy, thicc Frankenstein's monster disrobing in 3 different poses - pulling his shirt of his shoulder, seen at an angle; from the front, shirtless, beginning to take his pants off; then almost totally nude as seen from behind. the words at the top read "Strip-tease de Frankenstein..."

Chiptune is and has always been a social, community-oriented scene. Project files and tutorials are shared far and wide to help people learn how to make chiptune using predominately *free* tools made by revered members of our community. Turning your back to that and using AI is anti-social behavior.

Chiptune Monthly @chiptunemonthly.bsky.social · 3d

Now that we've had some time to get off work & confer & write things down, we've put out a quick statement, removed the albums from the October newsletter, and will be making sure that folks know when they submit their albums (which these were not, btw, we were tagged) that we won't promo AI "art."

You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

"What is fascism?"

Throughout history, each iteration of fascism came with its own particularities. Political theorist R. Griffin posits that the one thing they have in common is palingenetic ultranationalism. (Picture : Mussolini giving a speech) Palingenetic ("born again in ancient greek) ultranationalism is a far right narrative that frames the nation as decadent, as having lost its way, as being betrayed by dark elites. To save it, it needs to be destroyed, then reborn. (Picture: Trump giving a speech in front of a MAGA flag) with that goal in mind, an authoritarian power with divisive rhetoric channelsbthe population's anger towards a scapegoat demonized outgroup: migrants, religion, sexual and gender minorities... (picture : three masked ICE agents are handling someone.) Fascism is like a chameleon : it constantly adapts to eras and cultures. It is vital to learn to identify it and call it out. (Picture: a chameleon)

The image is a six panel black and white comic

Panel 1- A small child is being told "You'll want kids when you're older!" The child responds with "I don't think so..."

Panel 2- The same child, now a teenager, is being told, "You'll change your mind when you're older." To which the teen responds, "I doubt that"

Panel 3- Now an adult, someone off screen asks them, "Aren't you thinking of having kids?" To which they respond, "Nope"

Panel 4- The same person, an older adult now, is being told, "better have kids soon, or it'll be too late!" to which they respond, "That's fine"

Panel 5- Now elderly, they are once again asked "Don't you feel like you missed out?" to which they say, "Still nope."

Panel 6- They are now in their death bed, clearly close to death. The nurse says, "Shame you didn't have kids, don't you regret it?" To which the person says "You know what just kill me already"
