It's easy to think you'd be able to do something when you know that you'd never have to actually do it.

A lot, lot of the casual liberal lesbophobia expressed by GBT people is just the result of their inability to even process that a woman could just flat out not desire men, not due to the Evil Lesbians pressuring other sapphics into denying their Secret Attraction to men, but just because... Some of us just don't fancy dudes sexually or romantically at all.

No, not even a little bit. Yes, we're sure. For real, we're not like, in secret denial about it. Some of us just don't want them at all and feel perfectly content and fulfilled not including them in our romantic or sexual lives even as teeny tiny possibilities.

Yes, I swear I don't secretly wish I "could" be with a man even theoretically. We're fine. I promise we don't feel deprived of anything, save maybe of the misery that is being coerced into being with someone of a gender we're not into and that on top of that tends to be very violent to us. Shocker. (And yes, we still wouldn't want them even if it wasn't for that violence.)

The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

I don't know what paddington is doing on that list, but it made me think of the time someone drew a picture of the queen with paddington after she died, and we had scores of people losing their minds at the idea that paddington bear wasn't the same kind of communist as them

First you procrastinate on the task because it is not a big enough deal to get done urgently. Then you procrastinate on the task because it has become such a big deal that doing it is overwhelming. You would think that this implies a middle point where it is just big enough of a deal to get done easily, however the inherent perversity of the universe's causal geometry prevents this

it insanely funny that one of the more popular complaints of hades is that for a game that's main appeal seems to be "it has hot people in it but in a progressive bisexual way" it seemed to lack real body diversity, and in response they decided their one fat person should be the greek god that was so canonically ugly his parents threw him off a mountain
