God I hope the old spice x Mario Galaxy movie collab means my kids will actually wear deodorant

remember those other branches of government

Omg the heart lips are so cute!!

Seeing a lot of “we went to the moon instead of funding healthcare” takes and want to note it is a false dichotomy. The US could easily do both, but the politicians and people who finance them have chosen to make Americans suffer. And they avoid paying taxes to make it harder to help Americans.

Some YA fantasy authors who to my knowledge have never funded an attempted trans genocide:

Terry Pratchett
Diana Wynne-Jones
Garth Nix
Suzanne Collins
Susan Cooper
Phillip Pullman
Rick Riordan
Pierce Brown
Sheri S. Tepper
V. E. Schwab
Rachel Hartman
Alex Pheby
Alan Garner
Ursula Le Guin

And more!

Remember when Ursula K. Le Guin savaged J.K. Rowling in a 2004 Guardian interview? “I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”

Let’s not forget what Ursula K. Le Guin had to say about JKR and Harry Potter.

When I got my furby tattoo (which I will never regret because furbies are perfect), both of the tattoo artists in the room said that a) my furby tattoo was awesome & b) that Harry Potter tattoos were the most common thing they had been asked to do cover ups for & that it was an industry wide issue.

for no particular reason here are some nostalgic fantasy books from my childhood that i have read to my kids!

the enchanted forest chronicles
the chrestomanci books
the dark is rising series
the hobbit
gregor the overlander
percy jackson
the black cauldron

The USPS IS NOT LOSING MONEY. THE USPS IS SPENDING TAX DOLLARS ALLOCATED TO IT BY THE BUDGET. THE USPS SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO ZERO OUT ITS BALANCE SHEET IT IS NOT A BUSINESS IT DOES NOT HAVE SHAREHOLDERS. IF THE USPS IS OUTSPENDING ITS BUDGET IT SHOULD BE ALLOCATED MORE BUDGET.

The Nonbinary Bunny by Maia Kobabe (with deep respect for Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd)

The Nonbinary Bunny by Maia Kobabe (with deep respect for Margaret Wise Brown and Clement Hurd) reposting a comic which is also up on my website: redgoldsparkspress.com 1/4 #nonbinary #trans #queer #nonbinarybunny

a square comic with text at the top reading "Spring is not cancelled" with four drawings- one of redbud brances against the sky, a closeup of daffodils, a path between trees under a cloudy grey sky and a closeup of a lilac branch. text below reads "inspired by Madeleine Jubilee Saito" drawn by Maia Kobabe @ redgoldsparks

I drew this for the Spring Equinox in March 2020 inspired by Madeleine Jubilee Saito's comics but it has felt relevant again every spring since then.

A white Boox ereader with a clear case. Underneath the case are stickers. One says "queer book club, all the cool books are here", one is a gauntlet holding lavender and a white flower, and a few that look like pressed versions of ferns, lavender, and violet. There is a lovers tarot card from the star spinner tarot that depicts two women, one facing forward and the other leaning into her

New ereader design for spring!

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Advocate: J.K. Rowling uses Harry Potter wealth to fund anti-transgender organization.

You absolutely cannot separate the artist and the art without contributing to the persecution of trans people. Boycott everything Potter.

Also begs the question of what bodily fluids lycanthropy can be carried in. Is it just in the saliva? In that case oral is much more likely

I think it's probably like a bloodborne pathogen. So like it's possible but not guaranteed

good morning new poem i will be thinking about forever, now

Chris Flemming has Chappell Roan level cardio fitness and nobody is talking about it

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

A reminder that Girl Scouting of America has welcomed trans and nonbinary girls from the first one that asked, has always had lesbian and bi members and adults, never declared bankruptcy to avoid paying for sexual assaults, and never poached the other side to recover from said bankruptcy.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization

my betrothed couldn't watch something bc someone had prosthetic spikes/horns on their face, idk how to tell him that with the amount of monster fucking content I've consumed that not only barely registers, I find it a fun bonus
