This post is less than half an hour old, can you let people see it first before complaining of silence?

For solid educational and entertainment content? Nebula

He’s trying to. Right now it’s a firehose of bad policy designed to suppress, but it’s important to strongly oppose on as many fronts as possible because a lot of this can and will get shut down if we try. This administration is counting on apathy to get away with this shit, and I think it’s important to separate our expectations of these actions from acceptance of these actions.

Call or write your congressmembers. Find a protest going on near you. Don’t talk to cops/ICE. Contact your state attorney general about what they’re doing to sue for your rights. Download archives of the webpages the feds are taking down and distribute to those who need it. Talk to your neighbors, your community, and see about who needs help from mutual aid, and get resources where they can be used. Donate to someone’s gofundme to get needed healthcare.

Anyone reading this, just do any action that makes the world marginally better right now. You can’t solve all this by yourself, none of us can, but we can all do a little to push us in the right direction.

All you’re doing is telling other trans people that their gender recognition is conditionally valid only on their good behavior, and that it can be revoked if they piss you off. Maybe consider why this would make trans people feel unsafe with you, even if they are on your side politically.

Look, folks in the US are extremely on edge about this election (that’s both currently happening through early voting and the last day possible within 2 weeks), and in particular, foreign interference/propaganda. There’s a lot of crap we’re getting from every angle under the sun trying to get “the right people” to vote and “the wrong people” to stay at home, depending on the political inclination. It’s exhausting and we’re having a bad time. We know shit sucks here and we are trying our hardest to not descend further into fascism with a guy who literally admires Hitler. If we get some lightly progressive policies out of it, that’s great. By pushing some “both parties suck” propaganda in this eleventh hour, everyone is going to dog pile you because we’re sick of this so much.

Thank you lol

I am noting that OP didn’t respond here, mayhaps they enjoy critiquing political circumstances they can’t contribute to more than addressing their own? 🤔

And they edited the post to something innocuous! For anyone coming in late, the original was what u/Prunebutt here said but with US politics instead.

Bruh you’re not even US American, get outta here with this defeatist crap. Don’t you have your own right wing surge to fight in Germany?

I overall enjoyed reading it but you’re absolutely correct that it was very self-indulgent and smug for waaaaay too much of it.

I can recommend Dimension 20’s Misfits and Magic (season 2 just got announced yesterday!) as a much better critique that still brings the joy that people felt with the source material to the table. The cast all says fuck terfs too!

The bi-cycle!

Wow, what a fun cool way to call someone a slur without having the cajones to type it out plain.

• not an ally because he’s trans and bi, not because he’s homophobic or something lol

Y’know, it’s funny, the Dursleys are canonically like 25 in this scene at most

This comments section seems to be suffering from the “I like pancakes” “oh so you hate waffles?” disease. I don’t think you need to disclaimer “use painkillers responsibly” OP, it goes without saying.

Looks like BDG and Jenna Stoeber when they both were at Polygon to me!
