"writing about fucked up things doesnt indicate your values as a person" and "the way you write about things may indicate some of your values" are not conflicting statements if im going to be real
Are we Gaiman posting on main? Hell yeah
strange how all of the anime that get construed as being for "pedophiles" are the ones that are largely enjoyed by transfems. you would think if these people were so concerned about anime with reactionary fan bases, they'd be focusing their attention on say, hetalia, or attack on titan. but that wouldn't let them call trannies pedophiles, so they don't care
also oftentimes, ones with nontraditional families! was MeiDora worth unpersoning people (disproportionately trans women) that like it over, or was it a reflexive disgust, externalized to others in the society that like it that these ppl also find disgusting? Is OniMai really all that bad, or is the idea of a transfeminized body where the family dynamic is a little bit disturbed really actually awful? Let's not kid ourselves about what's going on here, too. A lot of these westerners (esp in the anglophone sphere) have no problem defending their internalized protestant morality and family structure and will actively seek to critique any foreign actor does so much as to imply its disruption.
something that still gets me is that everyone rushed to the defense of bocchi the rock, but everyone kept quiet about onimai. and like, maybe that's just because more people have watched bocchi the rock, but I don't think anyone really brought up the fact that the people smearing onimai were doing so in the absolute most transmisogynistic way possible. I remember the people insisting that everyone who watches these shows is a pedophile pointing to the fact that mahiro is shown cupping her own breasts despite being "a grown man"
the premise of onimai is that after becoming an adult man who never left the house for 2 years and wasted every precious moment playing video games and reading hentai manga, mahiro suddenly woke up as a girl at the onset of puberty (thanks to her sister's meddling) and then got a chance to retry adolescence but as a girl this time. the anime goes out of its way to show how even though this is a scary change for her, getting to live as a girl and experience all of the things she never got to before (due to her crushing dysphoria) makes her immeasurably happier and more fulfilled
to call mahiro a "grown man" and insinuate that everyone who enjoys this show must be a pedophile is unbelievably transmisogynistic. seriously, ask yourself who the fuck this show is for. it's so obviously wish fulfillment for trans women. ask any trans woman if she finds that premise relatable and I guarantee the vast majority would say yes!
In the early 2000s I was briefly obsessed with the PBS reality show Manor House—regular people take on the roles of nobility and servants in an Edwardian house and give their modern takes on their situations as maids and lords. I still vividly recall one of Antonia the Kitchen maid’s talking head confessionals. It was about halfway through the series and she’d been doing the job of a kitchen maid for several weeks at this point and was completely physically and mentally exhausted when she says something very close to the following:
“I’ve decided, that if I lived in Edwardian times and I had no choice but to be a maid, that I would move to London and become a prostitute. Because I could spend the day lying on me back, an nobody would care how many fags I smoked in a day”
And that really stuck with me. All labor is prostitution; you just gotta find the form you can tolerate.
trans people don't need to hear your justifications for still enjoying harry potter in 2026 stop looking for forgiveness where you're not going to get it
if i walk into your house and see harry potter stuff, i'm just gonna assume you're a transphobe. no amount of "i got it from a charity shop" can save you from the fact that you value those books enough to display them in your home.
you can't just put the work of someone who's currently trying to eradicate trans people on display without being questioned about it, especially if you claim to care about us.
same goes for your social media, if you're willing to keep putting jkr's work on a podium and proudly talking about it, then it's simply logical to believe that you don't care about other people. it's selfish if i'm being honest, to think that your comfort matters more than the lives of millions.
and to the trans people saying that they're "reclaiming harry potter for the trans community"
no you're not, you can't do that while jkr and her neo nazi friends are currently trying to kill you. you need to let go or else your own community won't be happy to help you when our collective rights are stripped further away.
trans children in the uk are killing themselves because of the things jkr has done.
children are dead. children who should be happy and free to be themselves are fucking dead because jkr has used her immense wealth and social power to change laws specifically to harm trans people. if you really think that your fucking "comfort characters" are more important than the lives of children then you should say that with your full chest. go on. tell the entire world that you don't give a fuck about dead kids. that you don't have an ounce of empathy in your disgusting shrivelled heart, because you still have your shitty fucking books and your garbage movies. your comfort matters more than anything, doesn't it? maybe jkr will tell you you're one of the good ones, wouldn't that be nice?
sony cutting off physical discs while also implementing a system that doesnt allow you to actually own ur digital games due to that 30 day verification whatever not to mention outside of gaming for the past few years sony has stopped producing on physical formats which is insane because THEY developed nearly every format every company uses( dvd, bluray, cd, etc ) so they have the biggest hand on production leaving a vacuum now that theyve stopped plus being absolutely shady with their digital marketplaces most recent example w/ pulling studio canal conent & the funimation / crunchyroll merger still has missing anime never added back to the app the shut down of multiple studios + the end of destiny 2 despite wanting to focus on live service which is just code for focusing on gta6's online mode & nothing else like adding the years upon years upon years of extra added shady sony horsepiss not just playstation but sony as a whole the fuck am i expected to spend a SINGLE dime with them again
adding to the "you dont hate sony enough" they also announced today they are shutting down the ps3 & psvita digital marketplaces so fuck preservation of games for older consoles ig !!
The note inside a bullet.
B-17 bomber is riddled with German anti-aircraft fire but miraculously survives. Later they discover the explosive shells were all inert; sabotaged by Nazi slaves working in armament factories.
Inside one empty shell is a written note: it's all we can do for you now.
The most important part of all this is that these small acts of bravery and noncompliance cannot be known as long as the enemy still stands, and might never be known. Just because it doesn’t seem like anyone is doing anything doesn’t mean it’s true. The best malicious compliance or subtle sabotage is the one that’s never detected, but makes ravages nonetheless.

"there comes a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to throw your bodies upon the wheels and upon the gears. Upon the levers. Upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop!"

republicans: homeless people should be ground into sausage and fed to schoolchildren
democrats: persons experiencing houselessness should be ground into sausage and fed to schoolchildren
this post posits a utopian world where either of these parties would support feeding schoolchildren, making it a masterclass in "hopepunk"
Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.
For my fellow Europeans south of us who are currently suffering from extreme heat. Stay safe!
I’d also like to add this
Additional you can also put them on your palms, also, make sure to always use a light towel or kitchen paper and don’t put the ice bags directly onto your skin!
Pray for hateful people. That they see the humanity in others.
Conservative beauty standards are back with a vengeance which means it's especially important to go out this summer with bellies out and bodies unshaved. Also be unapologetically disabled with mobility aids and wearable medical devices and stim toys and ear defenders and all that stuff. You need it. People need to see it. Everyone needs to be reminded that life is unquestioningly more enjoyable when you're not living inside an arbitrary set of rules created by people who are offended by all the wrong things.

People should use common sense before just reblogging stuff here man. This is a new patent filed by Ford, but I would not be surprised if they actually implement it. The only thing I could find about it is here:

Long Covid Justice on COVID and LONG COVID from the mask ban teach-in
COVID/SARS-CoV-2 basics
It is NOT seasonal, like the flu is.
Spreads through air, like smoke.
The 6 feet apart rule is no longer great prevention advice.
Handwashing is a great hygiene practice, but transmission via surfaces is unlikely.
Vaccines do NOT prevent transmission. They reduce symptoms and severity for some.
You can transmit [COVID] while completely asymptomatic. Around half of transmission is as asymptomatic or presymptomatic. Everyone's immune system is different.
Being indoors increases risk of transmission, but you can still get it in crowded outdoor spaces.
What is Long Covid?
Long Covid is a set of health issues after someone has COVID-19
New health issues, ongoing issues, or worsening of previous symptoms and conditions.
It is a biological disease that affects hundreds of millions of people globally. It is a mass disabling condition and crisis.
It can cause significant disability and can be fatal.
Anyone can develop it, and up to 10% of people with COVID will.
Severity of initial infection doesn't correlate to potential to develop Long COVID.
It can be very hard to get a diagnosis and proper treatment or care for Long COVID.
Every time you get COVID infection, you increase your chances of developing Long COVID.
How do we prevent Long COVID? Layers of protection
Masking.
Air filtration.
Ventilation.
Vaccines.
Testing (right now Aug 2024, rapid tests are only about 20% reliable. Try to test two times in 24-48 hours).
Nasal sprays before and after exposure. (little data on these being effective against COVID but some are choosing to use them until more research comes out)
Mouthwashes with CPC (Cetylpyridinium Chloride) before and after exposure. (Must be used for at least 60 seconds)
Oh. My. God. This pattern of poorly copying Asian fashion trends without credit while simultaneously mocking the people and culture they are profiting off of....they're never reaching those pearly gates
From dupattas to lehengas, Indian fashion dominated the Oscars 2026 red carpet. So why did no one in the coverage say so?
