this might be the most unique looking indie series recently and I love how well the art and animation are done

No one is perfect, Petra Parker. Not even you, but we should always try to be better ❤️💙 I love transfem Spidey so much, but I think it's important to show her as the messy, imperfect person she would be to keep her as relatable as her canon counterpart. ♡ #PetraParker ♡ #SpiderWoman ♡ #Marvel

Anti-trans propagandists present trans people as making new and radical demands because they don't want to admit that they're stripping trans people of rights that they've enjoyed for DECADES.

...Assumption #2 is "Trans people are a brand-new minority group, so you just need to be patient until the rest of society is finally ready to accept you." even though this is completely untrue, many cis ppl sadly seem to believe it... juliaserano.medium.com/on-democrats...

The psychic children all revealing that they've been dreaming of Godzilla's return is one of my favorite scenes in the entire franchise.

Daniel Dockery@dandock.bsky.social

Godzilla vs Biollante is an inspired sequel with a majestic new kaiju for Godzilla to tangle with. The story, blending sci-fi espionage with a scientist's desperate grief, didn't light up the box office. But it did ensure that, years later, Biollante would become a fan-favorite.

If trans people & our loved ones not voting would lose you the election then maybe its not us that needs to budge on our basic human decency and rights but you who needs to stop whining that people aren't nice enough about your open bigotry. Experts agree its a genocide, you're pro genocide.

The thing about getting people to vote for you is you have to actually offer them something "Im gonna segregate your community you slur, but vote for me cause maybe I wont harm other people as much as the other guy" is about as compelling as suggesting rat poison as a snack.

In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own

Charlotte@fireantprincess.bsky.social

I think a lot could be said about how fandoms are very much structured to be consumerist without any critical analysis of capitalist production, and how this is the logical end result of that.

Cherry-picking scenes from live action MOANA now that it's on Disney+ and man even by the shot for shot standards of these remakes this is BAD, man. Truly feels like they were lining up and timing up shots to exactly replicate the original. Utter madness.

I’ve been hearing good things about an indie animation called Bunlith, so I decided to go search it up and most of the top results was just blatant transphobia. The good news is that the support for Bunlith outweighs the hate, but geez man. The amount of people who want us dead is insane.

Before we did this with Nancy Pelosi, she was the kind of politician who would publicly ridicule AIDS memorials. After we did this she was the kind of politician who opposed DoMA because her career was at stake.

The Big O took the framing of mecha and told a dark mysterious drama that stoked the imagination of fans. The adventures of Roger, Dorothy, & the Big O are as good as ever & it's time to rediscover the mystery of Paradigm, the city of amnesia. mediaocd.com/product/big-...

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

JenWave1995@jenwave1995.bsky.social

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

Easiest way is IDW's remastered TPB. FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH. It's a very good comic book if you like weird fucking 80s sci-fi comic books.

I know it's Halloweek and no one wants to think about Christmas yet, but the last day to order STARTLING TALES OF SANTA CLAUS 2026 is November 9! Here's some preview art that will hopefully tickle the Halloween part of your brain
