Shaggy Rogers is a young adult human man that eats dog treats and his friends don't even care. They act like it's normal. Not only do they know he loves eating dog treats, but they know he'll do scary dangerous shit just to eat dog treats, and they use that to their advantage. "Oh you don't wanna get asbestos poisoning in the scary abandoned building? What if we fed you a dog treat?" And he says yes and he does it and eats it and they act like that's a normal thing for a human guy to do. But then again, he also eats 10 feet tall sandwiches in one bite, so maybe he's not even human. Still fucked up that they manipulate him like that though. But whatever. Forget I said anything.

games workshop has given me a great thing today

"Perhaps even more impressive are the mortals who have earned the Blood Reaver’s trust with their peerless service and wicked wiles. Captain Sargotta is the finest shipmaster in the Red Corsairs fleet and the chief architect of their many naval victories, despite viewing the seething mass of pirate lords under her command with disgust and disdain.

Finally, the Tarellian bounty hunter known only as The Enforcer – as few care to learn or pronounce her true name – doggedly hunts down those cowards who fail the Master of the Red Corsairs and choose flight rather than their deserved death. Mere mention of her epithet is enough to cow rebellious mercenaries, and if the Enforcer herself doesn’t catch them her enthralled Barghesi will simply tear them to bloody ribbons."

Its clear going through his art that Goodwin was one of those pioneers that brought early Warhammer 40k into its grimy industrial gothic aesthetic, his vision of the grimdark future is still just as unique and creative as it was in the 90's.

Something so disgusting about how the original Haitian zombie folklore is "the zombies are victims of a sorcerer who exploits them as slaves" and then modern zombie media is "the zombies just appear from an infection that turns Real People into a rampaging horde serving no other purpose than to threaten Civilization" like.

The Haitian zombie is very clearly metaphorical for the very real horrors of slavery, while the viral zombie is fundamentally about "what if there was a type of guy it was completely okay to kill and you got to exist in a survivalist fantasy as a Badass, also when infrastructure collapses it's every man for himself and altruism goes away"

And isn't it super interesting to think about that in the context of historical US-Haiti relations?

Trans woman needs help with rent money!!

Hi folks it seems things are more dire than I thought. I'm not just struggling to buy groceries and meds and the medical bills I have, but we're going to be $150 short of rent, and since a terf got my venmo and PayPal closed my options are limited on what to do. I need help desperately so I can keep a roof over my head.

Cashapp: $thecatgirlprincess

If you want to do PayPal or zelle, please reach out and I can give you those in dms.

Please please please I'm very desperate and need help.

Mordred has been repeatedly targeted by these harassment campaigns for YEARS. Keep in mind that I've been in their sights for less than a week. She has displayed an endless ability to muster grace under pressure that I don't think I could sustain. I admire her immensely.

If you've seen the good that I've done and you want to help, help her. Please.

Ok so it's clear to me that some of y'all are having issues with this video. As someone who understands breed specific behaviors and dog body language this shit is objectively hilarious to me. Lemme explain why:

Beagles are a very vocal breed. They are hound dogs, specifically hunters, so their job is to communicate and be extra loud when excited or a "treat" is found.

Due to their nature as hounds, and in part genetically predisposed health issues, they get fat often. They're prone to eat too much and need exercise. Old beagles tend to get over weight.

This dog is not biting, frustrated, or aggressive. He's wagging his tail, licking his owner, and engaging in hunting behaviors (barking, sniffing, pointing, and nipping.) This dog is trying to catch his treat. He's working for his reward.

TLDR: The dog is having fun. Don't take it seriously. Using a crunchy mic with a beagle makes his barking sound so funny. Enjoy the humor.

we need to invent a way to explain how deep running and pervasive and subliminal racism and antiblackness is without immediately sounding like an insane conspiracy theorist

female characters are always lighter than male characters. strong characters are almost always dark. aggressive characters are almost always dark. peaceful and intelligent characters are almost always light. even amongst darker characters the lightest one is usually either the leader or the girls. dark is evil and light is good.

if you try to explain this to a white person they look at you like youre insane

briefly pursuing a career in animation radicalized me on this. So many stories from the industry about how you have to start with your character design as dark as possible, because INEVITABLY you'll get "notes" from higher-ups asking you to make them lighter.

In a class about making a pitch bible my teacher once role-played as a shitty executive with a classmate, pressing them in intentionally abrasive ways about why they made their characters diverse. He emphasized that we had to learn to defend these things, because the racism in the industry is extremely deliberate.

Surprisingly, they actually acknowledged the reason for the age-dependent transition gender gap! (with sources)

❝Why is this happening? Trans misogyny is a unique type of discrimination trans girls and women face. It combines transphobia, the hatred for and discrimination against trans people, with misogyny, the prejudice and contempt towards women. The impact of trans misogyny is far-reaching. During adolescence, trans girls experience higher rates of bullying and victimisation than trans boys and cisgender peers. During adulthood, trans women remain at high risk of abuse and violence. They are also more likely to encounter housing discrimination, homelessness, unemployment and poverty than the general population. Faced with such daunting prospects, it seems much harder for trans girls to reveal their gender identity as adolescents at an already uncertain time of their lives.❞

(yes, the language and such is slightly off, the authors being medical professionals, gender specialists, but not, so far as I know, trans themselves—still, the whole article is very good in content and well-sourced)

The fucking people in the notes going “umm achtually it’s because feminine puberty is uniquely dysphoria inducing”

Right like there aren’t several parts of masculine puberty changing your face and voice, the parts of you that you Can do the least to ignore or hide.

Things like deepening on the voice that totally hasn’t famously caused a lot of transfems to be afraid to use their voices for their entire lives.

Mor y’know facial hair, something that also hasn’t famously been used as an excuse for why a fictional trans Girl didn’t get so scared she died from a heart attack.

We all know that is just fiction and not at all a response to the dread real world transfems face due to these changes.

They totally aren’t the face of most transphobic caricatures, and then by themselves become motivators to hide your feelings because they make you “not woman enough”

Yea clearly these aren’t something that cause lifelong stress and trauma for transfems.

Fuck you all
