rewatching the ol’ MST3K episodes, did Colossus and the Headhunters last night. spoilers for a 1994 episode showing a 1963 film, but the ending was kinda stupid. they jammed the Couple Gets Together Heartwarming™ into it where it does not make any sense.

dude’s alone on a sail-raft capable of carrying “a tribe” and the lady who has fallen in love with him can just swim out to him? while he is busy telling her not to. it’s not even clear in the narrative that he loves her back. big non-consensual/aro horror vibes here.

this violates the core structure of the “Character and Enemy” movie, which is that the Character must not be tied down with anything that will complicate sequels.

it’s sad that everyone is in solidarity and whatnot, except my supposed representative, who is just like “canada will pay for this!!” like bro. have you seen toronto? who do you think is fighting the fire? they are paying already.

maybe we could do something besides opposing all environmental mandates on partisan grounds???

many people ask 'how do i know my art is good enough to start a comic'. this is a very common mistake. you do not make a comic to make good art you make comics because its fun and looked yummy

[aroclan]

if anything, having a comic will make your art good enough. then you will have a neat new problem called “style shift"

[eeshfeesh]

[bebsi-cola]

actually pigs shouldn't be at pride even outside of uniform. fuck those guys

[bebsi-cola]

if you decide to become a police officer then that outweighs any other marginalised identity you can rustle up like. not sorry, who asked you to willingly become a pig

[pekkhum]

I have heard of black people warning their kids that the race of a police officer is cop and you should not expect solidarity from them. The same applies to other types of minorities.

The sexuality of a police officer is cop.

The gender of a police officer is cop.

When you become the enforcer and protector of capital, you are making the deal to be slightly favored by the system over others like you, in exchange for being its servant. Your solidarity is with the system that you serve, even if it hates you.

If you want solidarity with those the system hates, you cannot be the system's servant and defender.

The power grids literally can't handle AI data centers. Just look at Denver. They have more than one data center, at least one record breaking data center. They are in a really bad drought and they completely drained an entire reservoir a few months ago, killing all the fish, the ecosystem and all the tourism and water sports for said reservoir. Not only that, just a couple months ago, the power went out AT THE AIRPORT, and it was out ALL FUCKING DAY. So DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT had an avoidable BLACKOUT, grounding flights and probably costing millions, for an ENTIRE DAY. Denver International Airport is like LaGuardia or LAX for the Midwest. A very common layover spot for flights from all over the country. So, kind of a big deal to have a power outage lasting an entire day there.

Roving blackouts and devastating droughts now coming to a town near you!

im being so serious when i say this but we need to bring back the "my genitals are none of your business" "if gender is whats in my pants then my gender is some loose change" mentality from the late 2010's because too many people on here are openly flirting with exclusionary people who spout enbyphobic rhetoric. stop caring about what people's agabs are you assholes. they literally mean nothing. they're not a zodiac sign or indicative of people's character. you are not wholly pure or wholly evil because of your assigned sex. you're just a person.

[ash-and-art]

"what genitals do you have?" Is sexual harassment regardless if its from a security guard or a chronically online furry

Non binary ? No problem !

Happy Pride!

Yay pride! As (unfortunately) a resident of the US, being queer and disabled often feels like setting myself up for horrible things. It's hard to be myself when that can be so dangerous, but change is on the horizon.

Life will not always be like this.

Change can start small, like drawing queer pride furry art for pride month. What's important is that we're sticking together and not letting them silence who we are!

The pride flags used in this image are the basic rainbow, trans, and AroAllo flags. How I view my personal identity is rather complicated, but these give the short of it <3

[aroclan]

apparently you have to specifically click the heart to get the pride animations. the 'L' key doesn't do it 😕
