I might just be salty because it's (correctly) pointing out "hey kiddo, you've been using four em dashes per one thousand words, do you maybe wanna experiment with some other punctuation marks," though

Screenshot of Ellipsus' "Punctuation Habits" sidebar on a story I'm writing, showing the number of expressive punctuation marks (e.g. not periods or commas) per 1,000 words. It shows 4 em dashes per 1,000 words. No other punctuation mark is above 1 per 1,000 words.

Screenshot from the infamous Harry Potter fanfic "My Immortal." Text:

"My name's Harry Potter, although most people call me Vampire these days." he grumbled.

"Why?" I exclaimed.

"Because I love the taste of human blood." he giggled.

Julia Serano is so smart and I love her

Screenshot of an excerpt from Julia Serano's essay "Penises, Privilege, and Feminist & LGBTQ+ Purity Politics." Text:
As for trans people, I think we’d all be better off if we ditched the cultural feminist premise that there is something fundamentally “oppressive” about being a man. This framework fucks all of us over. It leaves trans female/feminine people susceptible to accusations that we are “innately male” and therefore a “threat.” And it forces a false narrative upon trans male/masculine individuals in which the further they stray from their assigned sex (whether via their identifications or physical transitions), the more “suspicious” and “dangerous” they will be regarded. It’s inevitable that trans people of differing trajectories will have different experiences and perspectives, but I’d like to think that we can agree that no gender is “oppressive” in and of itself.

"Transphobes think trans women corrupt womanhood with maleness, and trans men are women corrupted by maleness" is gonna stick with me for awhile

Screenshot from Julia Serano's essay "Penises, Privilege, and Feminist & LGBTQ+ Purity Politics." Text:
Here’s another way of framing this “gender critical”/cultural feminist perspective: Trans female/feminine people are viewed as inherently “contaminating” (we “corrupt” those we come into contact with), whereas trans male/masculine people are viewed as merely “contaminated” (i.e., they’ve been “corrupted” by someone else). As a result, the latter may be “redeemable,” at least to some extent or in certain cases. (This is not all that dissimilar from the aforementioned scenario of a bisexual woman “redeeming” herself by renouncing her feelings for men and claiming that she was “really lesbian” all along.) Cultural feminists also tend to view trans male/masculine people as relatively “safe” given that they are supposedly “innately female” and “lacking” the organ that imparts sexual stigma (and perpetrates sexual violence) upon other people.

Me when AI companies will collapse without billions of dollars in revenue:

Two images of Squidward Tentacles sun tanning. In the first, he sits up and lifts his sunglasses to peer at something to his right. In the second, having judged whatever nonsense is going on to not be worth his attention, he has lowered them and laid back down.

You're trapped in the last TV show you watched, where are you? Surrounded by bizarre and confusing haute cuisine of the 80s and 90s, but at least there's a soothing soundtrack

This was not a good movie by any metric, but Aaliyah as Akasha hits the dopamine switch in my brain like nothing else

Movie poster for Queen of the Damned (2002). Aaliyah stands in the forground in a vaguely Egyptian-styled metal headdress, bra and choker combo, looking like the vampire queen of my heart. Stuart Townsend as Lestat is there too, I guess.

No, I suppose it wouldn't be anything like driving while blackout drunk, losing a tire, driving to the casino on the bare rim and abandoning your squad car with the keys in it in the parking lot, would it, Cocchi

“This was unlike anything our team has ever experienced,” Nick Cocchi, the Hampden county sheriff, said of the incident, which was captured on video released by his office and posted to YouTube by MassLive.

Post a meme made by you (with love to @kmfao.bsky.social)

Meme from "The Brave of Sun Fighbird" where Yutaro, an android with no practical knowledge of the world, misidentifies a butterfly as a pigeon. Yutaro is labeled "Me, an only child" while the butterfly is labeled "woman I met on a Sailor Moon LJ community in 2006." Subtitle: "Is this my sister?"

I had a dream that you needed a legal license to have a mustache, and trans men in particular were really upset about this for some reason. I made a mockup of what one would look like

A sample Mississippi driver's license for "Connor Sample." It has been edited so that the "Driver License" heading instead reads "Mustache License," and the license class has been changed to "Handlebar." The man in the sample photo has a badly-drawn handlebar mustache added.

Bsky originally refused to let me post this, and while I know it's just because this site is a mess, I'm choosing to believe this is a censorship thing

That Jack Chick comic where Jesus is talking to a bunch of caricatured Pharisees who are telling him to "Shut up!", except it's been badly edited to look like he's saying "Groove is stored in the balls" and the caption has been edited to say "They hated Avery because He told them the truth."
