“People should pass a test before being allowed to have kids.” “Isn’t it scary how white people have this inborn capacity for evil?” “I’ll never pass because males and females have different skull shapes.” “Autistic people have a stronger sense of justice than anyone else.” “I don’t want AMABs in my space because they’re dangerous.” “You shouldn’t have access to hormones if you dress like THAT.” “Anyone who does something that awful isn’t human.” “Some people really shouldn’t be allowed to vote.”

This is eugenics. This is phrenology. THIS IS NAZI SHIT, YOU ARE A LEFTIST BUYING INTO NAZI SHIT. YOU ARE NOT IMMUNE TO NAZI SHIT.

"I am not a vessel for your good intent" goes hard as a line from a disabled perspective. Abled people care so much more about being their idea of a good ally than they do actually being a good ally. They shove their good intent right down your throat and then act surprised when you tell them they're suffocating you.

hey guysss so unfortunately the rumors are true and im leaving the narrative. Buttt the good news is my absence will create such a gaping hole in your lives that it will become a sort of presence itself, and so in a way it will kind of be like i never left! But i am. Leaving just to be clear.

to me, the cruelest thing that eva stratt does is not the kidnappig itself. it's that she tells grace that he does not even have a dog. dr ryland grace, a man who dedicated his life to the greater good, first to science and then to teaching, does indeed not have a dog. and because of this, he has to spend his last precious moments on his home planet with the full knowledge that while he might be smart enough to save the world, he is not loved enough by anyone on it to be worth saving

Caught Ollie scratching at my laundry basket so now he has his own

So far every time I set it in front of him now he's jumped straight in, no questions asked, and upon further investigation he seems to enjoy being carried in it from room to room

anyone else miss gansey-on-fire

like blue dropped ONE (1) hint that she kind of sort of cared about him and gansey’s ego went apeshit for the rest of the day

[dragon-in-a-fez]

wait, you mean that by spending decades joking about how schools are disease vectors because children are just naturally disgusting, adults were ignoring a structural problem they had created? how surprising and not at all precedented

i'm rereading the murderbot diaries and murderbot's utter conviction that it and gurathin are bitter enemies is still so funny. buddy. gurathin got over this months ago. he's just a quiet guy.

[theaicollective]

one-sided antagonism is so delicious.  murderbot diaries i also very much enjoy how surreal it must be for gurathin /   to know that the heavily armed rogue secunit holds a grudge against him /  and also know that all it will ever choose to do about this is make frowny faces and flip him the bird. / (tags via space-mouse)

[asimovsideburns]

Gurathin, like three books from now: hey we’re friends right

Murderbot: no. we fucking hate each other.

Gurathin: awesome check this out it’s gonna make you so fucking mad

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

MB: I don’t like you

Gurathin, knowing MB calls its best friend “asshole research transport”: Uh-huh.

[rhysintherain]

Murderbot: I don't like Gurathin, and he doesn't like me

Gurathin, not even looking up from the article he's reading: careful buddy, if you piss me off I might look at you really hard

Murderbot: I have guns in my arms!

Gurathin: yeah, but if you shoot me who are you gonna call when you need help solving a murder or getting out of an awkward social gathering?

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.

[anarchistmemedistro]

don’t obey in advance

libel laws in the uk are fucked but if your claims are true and well documented they should hold ip

this tactic works because most people can’t afford to fight in court even if they win

but amnesty is a big org with the pockets to fight back this would be money well spent if they care about fighting the “anti-rights movement”

now they’ve taken the report down and they’re getting sued anyway

[newfoldrin]

Disappointed in Amnesty pulling the report. They absolutely can win a libel lawsuit and it would put a big spotlight on JK Rowling's transphobia. The report highlights transphobic groups and evidence in the lawsuit would be focused explicitly on the accusations against Rowling's transphobic shit seeking to strip rights from trans people. With the report still up, it'd be easy for people to look into it themselves. Rowling doesn't look great suing Amnesty International, but pulling the report lets her set the narrative of what it was.
