I just woke up from a dream where I was pregnant, and ETD and I were having a gender reveal party hosted by Morticia Addams cause in my dream Morticia and I were besties and she kept giving me pretty solid advice on raising children.
And you know that thing people do where they cut into the cake and it reveals the gender? Well, we had a cake, but the outside frosting was black, like, void black with the occasional glimmer of starlight, and when the time came to cut the cake Gomez handed me a sword and I stabbed it and a rainbow of holographic glitter spilled everywhere and bats flew up into the night and all the “real” people in the dream were horrified at the mess and trying to escape, but Morticia just sipped her tea, letting the glitter rise around her ankles as it continued to spew forth from the void cake and just looked at me like “Congratulations, it’s a baby, probably. Cake?” and my happiness/terror at the ambiguity of that sentence straight up woke me up out of a dead sleep and now I’m telling all of you before I forget.
imagine one day spidey is held up by the new york city police department, and he’s expecting the same old bullshit of “this stupid spider menace vigilante blah blah blah” like the cops in queens always say to him, but instead he’s met with a 30 year old brooklyn cop who is less concerned with peter being a vigilante, and is more concerned with peter’s powers. he won’t stop asking peter about his spider powers, how they work, how he got them, how he would rate them on a scale of “cool” to “toit”
and finally peter gets a word in edgewise and is like “not that this isn’t refreshing compared to the way the police usually treat me, but what kinda cop are you again??” and the cop is like “i’m actually a detective, jake peralta from the 99th precinct. anyways can you summon an army of spiders or is that just a rumor?? oh my god can you talk to them, can you ask the spiders if they like die hard??”
So not only is that tweet fucked up in terms of its misogyny, it is likely some dog-whistle Neo-Nazi bullshit.
WOMEN: YOU ARE WORTH NOTHING
MIGHT AS WELL HAVE 6 CHILDREN INSTEAD
Walking baby factories.
That’s all people with uteri are to these people.
Just reblogging this to confirm that it is in fact Nazi shit, for anyone who might have been wondering or doubting.
The blurb reads: “Christian, wife, mom of 6, author/educator, Nationalist pundit on white Western heritage & God’s love for all His people. Frmr feminist. #TradLife #Homeschool”
The blog also has posts and retweets fearing ‘white genocide’ and one of the recommended related accounts is Richard Spencer. So…. Yeah….
Yeah. Basically the people who handwring about “women not having enough babies” are talking about white (Christian) women, and it’s some handwringing about “white extinction” or some other white supremacist garbage. When it’s religious-flavored, it’s usually a Christian dominionist. Can’t win the culture wars and turn the United States into a fascist theocracy without outbreeding the competition and producing as many brainwashed little soldiers of Christ as possible!
Note that he’s also hard-line against easier immigration, which would also produce an influx of young working people who would pay taxes.
Translated; Make More White Christian Babies, People. What? You want maternity leave and health care? Fuck you. You shouldn’t be working anyway, just giving birth, and your husband’s White Person Job should provide health care.
If you’re not a WASP? Fuck you, period.
She is notorious for her pro-Trump Nazi-ism. She thinks women’s place is in servitude to her husband and making babies. per her own logic, the six scientists better all beboys, or the girls’ jobs are to make more babies and therefore less scientists. Also, somehow you can’t be a scientist and a mom?????
LUCKILY her account got suspended for her views and statements.
Well, hello, Serena Joy. Hope you enjoy having no voice in the future you’re working towards.
In a March 1 release, Microsoft is warning customers using Office, Xbox, Skype, and other products that the company is prohibiting offensive language and inappropriate content starting on May 1.
“Don’t publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity),” Microsoft warns in a portion of their new codes of conduct.
Microsoft also added that the company plans on “investigating” users who are accused of violating the new policy and will block content from being sent to other people.
So will they have monitors watching 24/7 to make sure nobody says something “bad” on Skype? And so nobody uses the service for cyber sex?
Also, Office? Does that mean nobody can use the Office suite to write stories that involve sex, violence and un-PC dialogue?
Who decides what is offensive?

Time to go back to pen and paper my dudes.
You want fanfiction? I’ll mail it to ya, free of charge in my own slutty, slutty handwriting.
anyone got alternatives to…basically all of Microsoft’s services?
Discord is better than Skype, but Discord can and will delete your accounts for breaking their terms of service (you’re not supposed to use Discord for anything illegal). In practice, they’re pretty hard on the far right and Neo-Nazis, and often delete their servers, which in my book is a good thing.
ProtonMail is pretty decent and easy to use.
I don’t use Microsoft for anything but school because it’s garbage anyway but Discord is a great app.
Here’s a link to the actual statement from microsoft, for fact checking purposes.
This change in TOS is almost certainly a result of the anti-sex work bill SESTA (also called FOSTA), which will hold service providers responsible for all content on their service, even if that content is ostensibly private. This is supposedly to prevent craigslist, fetlife, backpage, etc from being used as sex trafficking platforms (even though they aren’t), but the primary effect is going to be making sex illegal. Not all sex, of course, just the kind that puritans hate.
Rest assured that, as is always the case, queer content will be considered more obscene than straight content, that sex workers will see a spike in murder and assault, and that people will be charged with crimes for “victimizing” themselves by taking nude photos of their own bodies.
Microsoft is not at ALL the only company that will be rolling this out in the future, and a lot of companies have already closed their doors or severely limited what their platforms allow, in much the same way. For example, Google is banning people who have nudes on their drive accounts, including people whose sexts and email attachments automatically synced to drive. https://trickandswitch.tumblr.com/post/172106947361/lyssamaxiscute-rrottenbee-fromacomrade-sex
Not to cry wolf, but this is the end result of increasing conservatism in not only the right wing sphere, but “leftist” spaces as well. So, here’s a friendly reminder to fight sexual conservatism wherever you come across it, and yes, that includes puritanical “fandom” beliefs that can be used as a gateway to indoctrinate otherwise well intentioned leftists into trying to decide what sex other people can consent to, and all the censorious behaviour that comes along with that.
Supposedly this is also in part meant as an anti-bullying measure, but yes the effects of the new anti-sex-work bill are clear here and in general and are extremely damaging.
i saw some people saying they don’t think jensen was serious about “eye fuck” being in the script. but in the video (17:25) jared turns to ask jensen what it says and you can see jensen mouth “eye fuck” and then jared independently confirms with jensen and misha before they answer out loud. the scripts really, seriously say eye fuck. die mad about it, bob singer
“On May 1, International Workers’ Day, dozens of undergraduate and graduate students stormed the cafeteria of The New School in New York City, along with cafeteria workers, chanting “All of us or none of us! Every single job!” After a rally, they began occupying the university cafeteria in response to the pending termination of the contract of 45 unionized cafeteria workers who are expected to be replaced by low-wage, no contract student workers. Any cafeteria workers who are rehired would be hired through the university and not represented by the UNITE HERE! Local 100 union as is currently the case — clearly a union-busting tactic.”
Communists and workers at the New School in NYC have occupied the school cafeteria, declared the establishment of a commune (providing free meals for all and collectively/democratically managing labor), and stated they will not end their occupation until six demands are met:
Every Job Saved
Higher Wages
Same Benefits
Tuition Vouchers
Resignation of New School treasurer Steve Stabile
Worker-Student control of the cafeteria
DONATIONS FOR OCCUPATION FUND: Venmo @Solidarity-4-Ever They’re also asking for “toothbrushes, toothpaste, dry shampoo, tampons and pads, and other supplies.”
AND if that’s not enough, the student workers’ union (SENS-UAW, Student Employees at The New School) has declared that they will be going on general strike on May 8th (with 99.4% of workers voting in favor of the strike!) unless the administration “agrees to a contract with a comprehensive economic package”. AND 280 faculty members have declared their support for the strike.
