Collecting Hobbies Is My Hobby

Lately, we have been posting some exciting queer stories, and the response has been massive! You made it clear that you needed to hear some good queer news to balance out all the chaos in the media. So we are making a space for these stories!

Starting in May, we are going to release a compiled list of good queer news for our patrons on the 20th of every month!

We will still be sharing the stories individually on social media when we find them, but the compiled lists will be for paid patrons only.

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.

So let me scream it from the hilltops:

Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.

For example, being exposed to corporal punishment as a kid makes it more likely for a person to commit domestic violence against a partner. In places where corporal punishment is normal, people are more likely to think that rape and intimate partner violence are normal. Kids who are spanked are more likely to be violent with and to bully other kids.

Spanking is literally teaching a kid that violence is okay and normal and it affects the whole society.

I haven't seen anyone talking about this and just wanted to make a quick post on here.

Akihiro Miwa recently passed away peacefully june 20th, and was not only a drag queen and a queer icon, but also the japanese voice of Arceus in the movie Arceus and the jewel of life, as well as the witch from Howl's moving castle and Moro from Princess Mononke.

and then later when he SNEAKS INTO A CORNER TO FUCKING… facetime yoda… like “ok so we have these millions of identical human men who were apparently suspiciously ordered for us by someone???” and yodas fucking response is just “when countless sapient lemons life gives you…….. send those lemons into intergalactic battle you must”

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

In an absolutely baffling turn of events, Sony announced they will no longer be producing physical releases for their games starting in 2028, finally realising ex-XBOX CEO Phil Spencer’s dream of a world where games couldn’t be shared. Obligatory “Everyone disliked that” meme. 

In a continued effort by executives to destroy all hope of owning the things you buy, all new releases for the Playstation platform will need to take place via the Playstation Store or via digital download code. This leaves your games vulnerable. Vulnerable to any licensing issues, to any studio fallout, or, worst of all, to the vacuous abyss of cyberspace that is where games go when online servers shut down.

What does this mean for consumers? It means you won’t own the games you buy. Well, technically, you already don’t “own” the games you buy. You are still licensing them. The same has been true of the physical releases of movies for years. But at least with a DVD Warner Brothers can’t just waltz into your house and snatch up your copy of Sphere (1998) without your consent. Soon they could. 

It also means you can’t sell your games. You can’t trade up your games. You can’t lend your friends games. You can't buy second hand games. Forward compatibility is over. Game preservation would require illegal modifications.

Shoulder: weaksauce. Practically a stubbed toe at this point. Pretty good comedy potential for popping it back in completely unfazed in front of horrified bystanders. 2/10.

Thumb: lotta nerves in the hand! Not fun. That pain sure does Linger. However, at least you get to pretend you’re an action hero who just broke out of handcuffs. 3/10.

Hip: not the worst thing ever on its own, but almost guaranteed to make you fall, which frequently causes further problems. 8/10.

Ankle: yeah this one made me cry both times but also I was a kid. Still, zero stars. Do NOT recommend. 11/10.
