Also, it's all well and good to say "well I gave it my all" when you aren't going to have to live through the consequences of your actions. What a crock of shit answer

Absolutely. Star Wars as Lucas originally envisioned it would have been pretty unwatchable. Something we got a glimpse of with the prequels

That’s not to say he doesn’t deserve any credit. He does. It all started with him and he still helped shape what the end result was. But it was not his singular vision and unfortunately that is how a lot of fans see it

Honestly so much of what is iconic about the original Star Wars, whether it’s the run on the Death Star, or the score, or even the looks of the characters themselves, can be attributed to Lucas’s collaborators

Yup yup. That climactic run on the Death Star in A New Hope? That’s all Marcia. That entire set piece works as well as it does and holds up as well as it does thanks to her editing work.

this entire crusade against diversity in hiring and admissions is based on the supposition that all white men are necessarily more qualified than any nonwhite person or woman who might be considered for the job. like, this lawsuit more or less states that outright.

Fortunately this never became an issue and it seemed more like a university thing as opposed to the professors thinking it was necessary. But as someone who does actually write it was still insulting to see my work presented as if it was generated by the Mad Lib Machine, even if only in part

When people decide to entertain these nearly non-existent situations that bigots use as boogeyman issues, they do bigots a favor by legitimizing their concerns and making a common sense issue more controversial than it should be. 2/2

It’s already extremely uncommon for minors to get gender affirming surgery, much like it also extremely uncommon for pregnant people to decide in the third trimester that they don’t want a baby, yet which always gets brought up as a right wing talking point in the abortion debate. 1/2

Its also infuriating because this is certainly meant to be a pivot to the “center” but the only thing it will accomplish is letting trans people know how little they mean to the Biden team

Biden’s policy on Gaza is “a failure and a threat to U.S. national security” that “dehumanizes both Palestinians and Jews” and should be immediately overhauled, 12 former government officials who quit their posts over Biden’s controversial approach argued in their first joint public statement.

You can say this is preferable to the Republican position of actively attacking trans people, which is correct, but misses the more important point that neither party is fighting *for* trans people. That is what they need, not threats of how much worse things could be

I think absolute most charitable reading of the Biden admin’s NYT statement on gender-affirming surgery is that it is a statement made by people who have not put a lot of thought into the issue, which is another way of saying they don’t see trans issues as all that important
