Short summaries of female character arcs from HP, Twilight, Star Wars, ST:V and B5, proving beyond doubt that Ivanova is an absolute bad ass with the best lines.

Quite by coincidence, FB served this up to me:

Easily my favourite character, and one of the best in scifi IMHO.

TERFs will say with a completely straight face that trans women, a tiny minority, are THE greatest threat to women on this planet.

Meanwhile millions of cis men are visiting β€˜rape academies’ to learn how to drug and rape their female partners, or to watch other men drug and rape women.

4 frame street reporter comic. the reporter, off frame, asks someone waiting for the subway, with a dark long jacket, a gold and red scarf and round glasses : miss! any thoughts about
the newest study showing
that trans people's mental
health deteriorates after
starting gender-affirming
treatment?
she replies : 
kaltiala's paper didn't measure
mental health deterioration. it
measured how many trans people
visited a psychiatrist after
getting their diagnosis from the
finnish gender clinic, which forces
trans people to be screened
extensively every 3-6 months
during their treatment.
this paper counts any visit
to a psychiatrist, including
when the patient is cleared of
any issue, as a sign of "mental
health deterioration". that metho-
dological flaw is mentioned in the
paper*, but that didn't stop any of
these powerful anti-trans
bigots to share it online.

they don't ban the existence of trans people outright, they just chip away, relentlessly, at every little part of society we take part in, putting us in an ever-shrinking box

every time that box gets a little smaller, some of us don't make it

we need cis and straight people to see this. Wake up!

In his @status.news newsletter @oliverdarcy.bsky.social reports the White House got Getty to delete this photo (from a Thanksgiving White House PHOTO-OP STUNT) because Karoline Leavitt was offended

It ran only in a Swiss newspaper. It would be a shame if you retweeted and Streisanded it

Not even hypothetical, just fact.

(even "a govt talking proactive steps for the crisis" can be taken as fact because the current govt take every opportunity to remind us that they are deliberately doing less that the previous govt did during the crisis years of Covid)

Hanafuda’s transition into the modern world was secured in 1889, when a craftsman named Yamauchi Fusajiro opened a small shop in Kyoto called Nintendo Koppai. At the time, the Meiji government was finally relaxing its stance on card games.

An excerpt from the 2024 book Play Nice: The Rise, Fall, and Future of Blizzard Entertainment, telling the story of how author Andy Weir was fired from Blizzard

This past weekend, the new movie Project Hail Mary was a smash hit, bringing in nearly $141 million at the box office.

But many years ago, before he was writing novels adapted into mega-hit films, Andy Weir was fired from his dream job... at Blizzard Entertainment. Excerpt from my latest book:
