i've always loved the Terry Pratchett Boots Theory of socioeconomics but it's really striking now how it's slowly becoming inaccurate bc so many companies straight up do not make good products anymore. not even rich people can buy things that aren't designed to break in 3 years bc they don't exist

Supreme Court rulings at 10am tomorrow and Friday and we’re still waiting this sleeper abortion case out of Idaho. It hasn't gotten as much attention as the abortion pill suit, but it's even more terrifying: Alliance Defending Freedom is pushing fetal personhood on behalf of a U.S. state

One reason I really hate the “superhero comics are our modern myths!” line is that there are superhero comics that actually do an incredibly good job of exploring myths and folktales—The Sandman, Hellboy—and those are never the books people are talking about. It’s always some Superman thing.

Only a tiny portion of Black Americans were granted the land they were owed after the civil war. And then, almost immediately, the government took it back. Here’s where the people, and the land, ended up. Remarkable investigative reporting from the Reveal folks here:

People who reply to “here’s a good thing the Biden administration did for the environment” posts with “I don’t believe they did a good thing for the environment, because they did a thing I think is bad on an unrelated issue” are people who you don’t have to take seriously about any topic ever.

The FL mother of a 16-year-old high school volleyball player says her daughter's life is "destroyed" months after she was outed as trans and kicked off her team under Ron DeSantis's trans athlete ban. The twice-elected class president and homecoming princess is now forced to attend school online.

I often see people desperately worried about loud and angry misinterpretation, willful or otherwise, of their work by people with limited experience with fiction, low reading comprehension skills, or malice at their core. And I cannot say this enough: fuck them kids. Do what you want.

If you're asking "when did The Boys get woke" or "when did Star Wars get woke" or "when did Star Trek get woke" or "when did Doctor Who get woke" or "when did X-Men get woke" it might be time to face facts: you don't have the basic mental capacity to be able to handle watching TV or movies.

stories like this give the lie to the idea that the right is interested in protecting these children. per their own narrative, this girl is a victim of “gender ideology” or whatever. but the reaction from the right is always hostility, ostracization and violence.

In light of the Labour manifesto: Trans rights _are_ women's rights. I don't mean that in a "Trans Rights Are Human Rights" way, I mean that anti-trans policies are inevitably harmful to all women (as women), and, conversely, that trans-positive norms are a proximal boon to women.

My mom always said that she figured everyone brought out the food they'd held back, and that the message was "Jesus needs you to step up, because if someone starts it, others will join in". That makes sense to me. Getting volunteers is hard.

Does anyone have any tricks for getting a pill into a cat? Anery doesn't like wet food or churu, and is extremely good at holding pills in her mouth and spitting them out later. They're PPI's, and she's recovering from pancreatitis and gastroenteritis, so they're kind of important.

I’m not making this up… a friend bought Darwin a neckerchief. He got it out (we keep his clothes in a basket). So I put it on and he has been prancing about like this all day, pleased. Sometimes he brings me his blue shirt or the sweater Ellia knitted. Folks. I let my #cat pick out his clothes.
