WHEEZE. what do you MEAN impsec sank

From now on this is how all petty fandom disputes should be settled.

What are you reading rn, why are you reading it, and what format are you reading it in (physical book, ereader, on your phone etc)

The Hands of the Emperor by Victoria Goddard. It is one of my comfort books It is a book where Nothing Bad Happens and it gives me great joy. I am reading it on the Kindle app on my phone

funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.

Murderbot says much the same thing about its broken threat assessment module :)

this is wrong

Yeah, she could’ve done this in her standard Sailor Moon form. Super form is overkill, really.

Sailor Moon is stronger than Goku. I don’t make the rules. Fight me about it.

I’m on a still active forum, with a solid vs debate scene. Sailor Moon vs. the God-Emperor of Mankind from 40k is one of the most treasured threads there, as Sailor Moon trashed the guy.

19 pages straight of debate over Sailor Moon vs. God-Emperor of Mankind, in which every time a 40k fan desperately brings up a new point, it immediately gets negated by another one of Sailor Moon’s powers

“How are we ever going to fight back if our best speakers are smeared as zionist propaganda” this is the point, sadly. it’s the point of utilizing the word as a slur, it’s the point of degrading and dismissing any Jew that can be targeted with it. it’s a silencing and delegitimization tactic. if our best and most effective and educated speakers can be instantly dismissed with shorthand for evil, genocidal, fascist, inhuman (which is what the usage of “Zionist” has become), then of course there’s no point in listening to them. in fact, paying them any attention at all, unless it’s to send them hate, is tantamount to a thought crime, and punishable by ostracization from the in-group as a traitor to the cause. it’s a very easy, very effective way to make sure Jewish creators will not be heard or taken seriously (unless, of course, they’re the ones who can be tokenized). making sure that it’s widely accepted that anyone who can be called (((Zionist))) is discredited is the best way to make that a reality, and it’s why we’re seeing it happen across every spectrum - the arts, academia, publishing, medicine, politics, and so on. we are not supposed to be able to fight back.

One thing that's so underrated about PHM is Eva Stratt's appearance. She doesn't have the lipstick, sleek bun, pencil skirt (or even pantsuit), and heels look that is so often the uniform of female characters in similar roles. She doesn't wear makeup (as much as any other actor). She wears her hair down or in the simplest ten-second buns. She wears softs, easy to move in clothes that are weather appropriate. Why would she spend extra time making her physical body less efficient?

I wanted to add to this that in the movie especially, getting her played by a middle aged woman with visible signs of aging was a badass move. The only person who can save humanity is a middle aged woman in a turtleneck with tired eyes.

i don't think "being trans has a meaningful impact on your position under patriarchy, and when people talk about systemic misogyny and androcentrism and just say "men" instead of "cis men," it ignores that trans men have quite literally never been included in any of this" should be this goddamn fucking controversial tbh. but now i've got people crawling out the woodwork to um actually me about how "this study shows that trans men in the US full time work earn 10% more than trans women in full time work and also v-coding exists and also afab housing so therefore trans men as a class have male privilege and benefit from patriarchy"
