so much of the gayposting on here is either completely chaste wholesome romanticism or explicit sexual kinky stuff. and sometimes… i want something not overly horny or sexual but not something washed of all sexual desire you know.

nihilism is not punk. doomerism is not punk. quitting is not punk.

the stark reality is that if they announced there was 24 hours before a giant comet hit the earth, i would find reason to fight and advocate and celebrate in the ensuing chaos up to the final seconds.

punk is walking into every situation and punching it in the mouth regardless of how big it is or the dominion it holds over your existence.

punk is hope and growth and love and fury and anger and passion and spit in the face of hostile forces.

punk is community and mutual aid and soup kitchens and block parties and festivals and little libraries and clothes drop boxes.

punk is dancing on the deck of a sinking ship because hey you motherfuckers i didn’t hear the music stop.

punk is having the hope for something better on behalf of those who can’t see it right now.

punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead. punk is not dead.

I’m Italian and transgender, so hopefully stars will align and I’ll look like Tom Selleck in ten years…

Why isn’t there a swimsuit that’s just a cloud obscuring any and all features below my neck?

i think what really bothers me about calling hera or lovelace "non-human" is that they are both traumatized, marginalized women in a show where those "non-human" science fiction aspects serve as a direct commentary about dehumanization and alienation. (made extremely clear by shut up and listen.) resisting dehumanization - internalized, interpersonal, carceral, corporate, cosmic - is a major theme of wolf 359 that impacts all of the characters in some way, but the ways that hera and lovelace are othered mark them as especially vulnerable. that's why, for the purposes of the story, the details of AI integration on earth or the exact nature of the dear listeners' clones doesn't really matter. those things are primarily mirrors that reflect real-world issues on a very personal level, and so are best understood in the context of wolf 359 in terms of what they mean to hera and lovelace specifically. they are represented as fundamentally human people who have been made to feel as if they're not, hera's humanity is linked to lovelace's, and in both cases that humanity is narratively connected to their womanhood. ("you are never touching that woman ever again." + "that woman? for the last two weeks, she was the only person who even tried to resist what pryce and cutter were doing to us.") and i just... think all of that is worth keeping in mind.

Hey! Are you a Punk? Leftist? Or just generally cool person who cares about the fellow people of your community? Do you feel helpless about the state of the world and just want to do one small thing to help? Then DONATE BLOOD! DONATE BLOOD RIGHT NOW.

Literally it's so easy. Here's a link to the Red Cross Donor requirements

First time donor? Here's info about that

Here's where you can find a blood drive near you.

If you're under 18 you'll need to check your state laws to see if you can donate and you'll need parental consent.

I know that a lot of people are scared of needles, but I'm an MA in training and I've donated several times and I'd compare the pain to an earlobe piercing, so not too bad at all.

There's basically always a blood shortage for all blood types! If you can help you absolutely should, also they usually give out pretty good treats and even sometimes T-shirts.

Scaled and Icy will feel like a cute little pop album, but on the right day it will cut you up with surgical precision, carve out all your ribs, turn them into fountain pens and write your desperate plea to your doctor for you
