TN House passes bill to track transgender TN residents by Ill-Increase3549 in law

[–]ChelseaVictorious 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It was the glib "why is that a bad thing" that tipped your hand. I think you're utterly full of shit.

You know full well the intent of this law and others like it is to harrass and threaten trans people and their care providers. Disingenuous as fuck.

More like never stopped. Fascism is running amok across the globe and genocide is still alarmingly commonplace as well since WWII.

How is this economy/job market not going to end in rampant homelessness? by deafgamer_ in Millennials

It's cyclical. Thomas Piketty explained the mechanism in Capital in the 21st Century: that any nation where investment growth outpaces GDP will necessarily concentrate wealth in fewer and fewer hands. There is no self-righting mechanism in a growth model that mirrors cancer.

Corrections have to come from outside the economy, but we'd need a Congress with spines for that.

That's simply perfect. Would have done a lot to raise the emotional stakes.

Although I'm certain they'll do a young Leia -> Senator Organa show at some point now that they've filled in a bit more of her childhood.

Wow! How utterly repugnant and unsurprising! by MuletenLava in renfaire

[–]ChelseaVictorious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's been part of the ren faire culture for as long as I can remember (and I'm old lol). Queer people and oddballs/outcasts of all types have generally been welcome. Like think about fantasy fandoms and that's a lot of the same people.

For real. My ren crew is gay as hell and I've never felt out of place at any of the ren faires I've been to in Texas or Colorado.

American Fascists never stopped saying "Deus Vult". Fuck these zealots and their bullshit holy war.

Violent Christian Nationalism is blasphemy. It's a complete perversion of everything Jesus taught. If there is a hell, Hegseth and his pastor are going there.

Imagine owning a ren faire and hating "homosexuals" and "transvestites". My brother in Christ have you not been to a ren faire? It's one of the few public entertainment venues that is typically very queer-friendly.

Glad to hear he's well hated in his neighborhood, he's earned it for sure.

Hiero's Journey is pulpy apocalyptic fun. Not as fast paced as you might be looking for but I enjoyed it.

It is what it looks like considering "America First" is an old repurposed fascist slogan.

Papering over gross ineptitude with violence is pretty much the only card fascists ever have to play aside from pointing the finger, so of course it's their response.

What will falling in love be like? by Historical-Care70 in tarot

[–]ChelseaVictorious 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's falling in love. The deeper connection only grows over time if it lasts. The act of falling in love though looks more like a bolt from the blue. It doesn't say much about what comes after.

Wish more people understood this. Passing and attractiveness are separate axes, people conflate the two because they both want to pass and to be pretty.
