Imagine being simultaneously the richest person in human history, shaped like a scalene triangle, & believing with your whole heart that making dick jokes older than your former government taskforce members is a good use of your one & only life. Pathetic doesn't even begin to cut it.

ok

Sometimes I think about how shitty of a mom I'd be & just laugh Not because I think bad parenting is inherently or remotely funny, but because I know the first full day alone with a baby would be the longest day of my life, AND I'D COMPLAIN *TO THE BABY* ABOUT IT "Bro you suck, wtf"

While this is accurate and I suspect someone does need to hear it— Disabled people need your advocacy because we are disabled now. I sincerely hope by the time it catches up with the nondisabled people reading this we’re in a better place, but we are radically endangered right now. Help us.

Shoutout to everyone getting pummeled by the "October Slide" right now. Be as gentle with yourself as you can, & allow yourself to get upset if you need to. It's not your fault. You're not broken. You don't deserve it. Better days WILL come. I love you.

Being able to find people to talk to about a new thing you like. The overall state of Fandom Culture has been pretty rancid for the past 15 years, but seeing so many people from all over the world connect w/each other over shared interests in new ways online & in person has been a joy.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

Finding out that there are people out there that are genuinely shocked/upset that MCR is a political band has chipped away just a bit more of my faith in humanity. My Chemical Romance. The band that only exists bc of Gerard witnessing 9/11 across the river in NJ. Just... what the fuck.

The entirety of the album & corresponding comic, "Danger Days: True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys", is literally about resisting the death grip of an evil corporation. "Teenagers" has a Gun Violence message. It's too late to be fuming this bad lol

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

May the company that produces your safe food change the recipe in the most irritating way possible, & you never be able to find a comparable alternative.

I'm bringing back cursing my enemies, so help me come up with some modern curses. Here's one I'm working on: "May your children become obsessed with the WRONG anime."

30k would quite literally change the entire trajectory of my life I could finally get my teeth fixed & clear out my last student loan in full, then pay to have someone fix some shit at the house so I don't have to. Then? A real vacation somewhere fun.

I know that dude is either a bot or a ragebaiter. I know it's a trap. But after having a similar discussion with a flesh & blood person like him last week while suppressing 8 meltdows at the hospital, I just wanna go on record as saying Fuck That Opinion Sideways™️.

Matt Darling@besttrousers.bsky.social

I don't think $30k is a life-changing amount of money. Median American born in 1980 will have $2m in income in their lifetime. It's a 1% increase in earnings.

Imagine being so bad at your job that the undisputed world heavyweight champion of Being Bad At Everything told you that you sucked. I'd move to fucking Jupiter lmao

So @writeravenwrite.bsky.social is watching Return of the King for the first time. We get to Gothmog and she says, "good to know Sloth from the Goonies got another job."

This is giving me war flashbacks to the time a perma-grouchy customer threatened to uninvite me to his house in Bumblefuck, VA to meet his cat bc I wouldn't take back saying that I liked Teen Titans GO. FTR, I never expressed any interest in either his cat nor going anywhere near his house/him.

It will never not impress me when people that claim to follow almost ironclad personal rules & standards in their creative field of choice will practically enter the speed force to buss it wide open for AI in a different creative medium. Y'all would be hilarious if you didn't suck.

I find it genuinely infuriating that the only place I can legally get the DCC audiobooks is Audible. I've tried looking for it elsewhere on other platforms, but thanks to exclusivity, I'd have to give that bald bastard money to listen to the books via his awful app.

Being the only 4 year old in my kindergarten class that could read, write & spell should've been a tip off.

QUESTION OF THE DAY: This sounds like a joke question, but it isn’t. If it doesn’t apply to you, fine. But it’s a serious question with different levels of meaning. And I am genuinely curious. When did you first realize you were weird?

After 3 years over here, I genuinely can't conceive of a valid reason to ever go back. Is this place perfect? Hell no, but at least the bulk of my friend's are here, & I also don't have to worry that I'm helping that capital P shaped dingus make money or harm the earth in any capacity.

Seeing a little wave of "oh I gotta go to X to see posts from my niche community" and you know what if you're concerned about the CSAM and fascism Nazis and whatnot you could MOVE your niche community over HERE! We've got starter packs and everything that make it easy! It's a thing that you can try!

7 months ago I said that the designer toy industry had an issue with racism, & that they needed to straighten their shit out if they didn't want to be dragged for it by the international toy collecting community. IS THIS A FUCKING JOKE TO Y'ALL OR SOMETHING

Raven's fed up w/ghosts 👻@writeravenwrite.bsky.social

Idk who in the Designer Toy market needs to hear this, but making the only visibly Black or brown human character in your collection the ultra rare figure is actually more racist than not having one at all. It's like asking for crumbs then being served the crumbs in a baggie a block away.

"Just ignore it! Don't give it your energy!" I would if I could, but unfortunately, I can't. Nobody ever gives a fuck about Black women & girls, & as a Black woman that used to be a little girl, I have a lifetime of evidence to support thjs statement. The world hates us. I can't ignore that.

The last time I was at a POPMART store w/a friend, we ran into another BW that was picking up one of the few Black dolls that they had for sale. She said that she saw other BW talking about the doll, & had to get one for herself. We laughed & agreed before parting. IT'S THAT FUCKING EASY.

They literally put this little Black girl doll with impossibly nappy hair & a dazed look on her face in a "jungle" outfit. In 2026. This went through MULTIPLE hands before being debuted, & not a single person objected to it. Because it was intentional.

I get tired of calling the shit out when I see it. I get tired of never feeling 100% comfortable in any space because I'm waiting for some bullshit to come up & remind me that I'm not welcome. There is nowhere on the planet for Black women & girls to exist without being hated. None.

This shit irks me in a way that is honestly indescribable. It's such a "Here, damn!"-ass attempt at making a Black character that I'm almost impressed that it made it to production. Because why in the fuck would you make every single one of these choices if not to be as hateful as possible?

It's wild to watch comfortable white folks wipe out the mutual aid support networks that would have floated them in a few short years when they needed it because they didn't want to deign to interact with or support poor & marginalized folks while they're still comfortable. That's fascism, yall.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
