Gamera Vs.

Atomic Reptile. Fan of : MST3K, 30 Rock, Community, Dr. Who, Arrested Development, Venture Brothers, Star Trek, comic books, roleplaying games, video games, and more. Nine times out of ten I follow people back, unless there's just nothing on their blog that interests me, or the post volume is just so high that it pushes other things off my dash too quickly.

Since Twitter's going all yandere, figure I can share this here.

Linktree. Make your link do more.

I've been doing special Halloween TTRPG sessions for my group for years, but last year, I started presenting them as movies, complete with selected soundtracks from the year they're set in. It has been an unexpected pleasure. Last year, it was 1987. This year will be 1988.

Oh God, this is me. So much me.

"Who is in charge of this thing...?"

"Oh. No one is in charge of this thing. Well, let me see if I can fix this little thing over here."

And then... some time later... everyone is asking you how to do stuff.

Yeah, me too.

daniel radcliffe calling out j.k. rowling on her bullshit is big dick energy

[wakingfromthewater]

One thing I have not seen mentioned in light of this statement, perhaps because it's just well known or perhaps because it's been forgotten, is that Radcliffe has dealt with this before. About 10 years ago his friendship with a trans musician named Our Lady J became known to the tabloids. They immediately published sensational articles calling her a transvestite and a drag queen (she was not), and speculating about the nature of their relationship. He responded to insinuating questions by simply being aggressively positive about what a great musician and good friend she was. They did at least one interview together for a queer magazine. This at a time when trans people were even more marginalized than now, and when he as an actor was finishing Harry Potter and under a lot of pressure to ~manage his image~ as he transitioned to an adult career.

TL;DR - Radcliffe has a record of not just saying nice things, but supporting trans people in his life.

[quasi-normalcy]

The fact that anti-abortion laws and anti-transgender laws are both being implemented en masse, at the *same* time, by the *same* people (who, it hardly needs to be remarked, are overwhelmingly neither women nor transgender) should be enough to convince any reasonable person that the narrative of conflict between and women's and transgender is, first and foremost, a divide-and-conquer strategy by the far right.

Your survival is our survival. Our survival is your survival. Anyone who says different is a fed.

[cornedbeef101]

I think there’s quite a big difference between a woman getting an abortion and a teenage girl being sterilised and having a double mastectomy.

Women’s rights and trans issues are not comparable and are often in opposition.

[quasi-normalcy]

Fuck off, Collaborator.

[kaidadragonfly]

It's interesting that there are people that understand that the right lies constantly about abortion but think they tell the truth about trans people.

[penrosesun]

Also, hey, let's walk with this totally bad faith argument for a second. What IS different about a teen girl choosing to get an abortion, and a teen girl choosing to get a tubal ligation and a mastectomy? Are you saying that teenage girls who know that they will never want children should be forced to preserve their fertility anyway? Are you saying that teenage girls with severe back pain or the BRCA gene need to preserve their feminine breasts and be aesthetically pleasing to others, even at the expense of their own health? I mean, they're just too young to be making medical decisions which might make them less fertile or sexual desirable, right? What if they regret it???

And hey, you know, the same worry that teen girls might regret these things is true for adult women, too. Maybe we should make them wait until they're married, in case their future husband disapproves. Maybe we should make them wait until they've had kids - what if she regrets it and wants children? what if she regrets it and wants to breast feed? what if her stupid little woman brain hasn't thought this through and correctly pinned her entire self-worth and value as a person on her ability to act as a sex object and baby incubator? what then???

Trans men aren't women, and infantilizing them as poor helpless girls is obviously transphobic. But in addition to that, even if we were to buy into the central transphobic premise here, the conclusions would still be sexist as hell. Let's say that there are no trans men. Let's pretend for the sake of argument that trans men simply don't exist. Infantilizing teen girls out of being able to make their own medical decisions isn't feminist either.

If you're categorically against teen girls being able to choose to get a tubal ligation and a mastectomy, I have an awful lot of trouble believing that you're actually pro-choice. Pro-choice doesn't mean "women should have bodily autonomy just as long as they do the things I want". Pro-choice means pro-fucking-choice. You can't sing female empowerment and bodily autonomy out of one side of your mouth, while sticking your tongue out to lick the boot of the patriarchy on the other.

Finally, finally made time to watch the Weird Al movie on Roku and it's one of the funnier things I have seen in a while. Got some strong Walk Hard vibes, but it's it's own, fun animal.

This week's Nightwing is the best thing ever, and I am so happy to have it. (Though I would have called the little guy 'Mite-Wing'..)

MST3K Season 13

I've finally managed to carve out a tiny bit of time to watch the latest season. Really enjoying the feel - they've learned some important lessons from the first and second Netflix seasons and it feels like they've found their footing.

That said, the host segment sets do not feel right just yet. Green screen is okay, but there's just so much empty space.

But! Seeing them restore Joel's theater entry sequence for his Demon Squad episode makes up for a lot.
