I Should Be Working Right Now

not even two years after the 2024 racist riots and attempted pogroms, we are back to more racist riots and attempted pogroms.

Today’s IPO of SpaceX could turn out to be the universe’s largest Ponzi scheme, and you and I are paying part of the price whether we like it or not. Let me explain...

I love this. This is the beauty of the honest scientific process. You had an idea, you tested it and you still reported the results even though the results disproved your idea.

This is oaywalled but it made me weep with relief to see an honest recounting for once, so I’ve saved some good bits:

hi, filipino here. just want to say that our independence day is june 12, not july 4. july 4 is when the united states government decided that they would recognize our freedom, specifically because it is your independence day and they wanted to cement their cultural hegemony over our country. and because of their influence on our country this was recognized for a time as our independence day. we still commemorate it, but i hope you can understand why we don’t want our independence day to be associated so closely with our former colonizer. it wasn’t even a work holiday for us.

Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.

I have a chart for this ("estrogen would fix him" is the stuff that qualifies here. I could write a short blurb about all of these but I'm too tired to do that right now so y'all get the chart).
