@siege@octodon.social Awww. I love Oscar. It’s so dopey. I remember seeing it in the theater when I was a kid. 🥰

The fact that Isaac Asimov was a notorious assaulter and sexual harasser leaves me with this old question:
Can we divide the work from its author?
In this case, I can't.
I've read the comments from people saying that bringing attention to this is stupid 'woke' behavior and 'the new McCarthyism'. No, your childhood icon, the golden age of science fiction titan was a despicable human being. We have to remember that.

@anyas5 Thank you! I really try to keep my earrings coordinated! It’s a great excuse to buy more cheap earrings!

@h5e TU! Butchy Femme wasn’t at all something I had in mind when I came out, but it seems to be where I’m going!!
Also: jeans. Prior to starting HRT, I hadn’t owned a pair of jeans in 20+ years. Now they’re a near-constant!

Stop anthropomorphizing billionaires.

I get that the GOP likes to pretend that MLK's "I Have a Dream" speech is a call for colorblindness (it's not), citing the "content of their character" line, but here's a little secret:
If you're the type of person who feels the need to cling to that line, free from context, then the "content of your character" is pretty apparent, and it's not looking good for you.
@PastaThief Oh! A photo of my pantry!

Any recommendations for films to watch on Shudder/Prime?
Particularly British/European folk horror or anything Lovecraftian.
The Void, The Ritual, Colour Out of Space, Wickerman, Witchfinder General, already on my list to watch again.
@Fawn@ohai.social this is generally true
@h5e That’s really wonderful to hear. I believe that work places should be safe spaces; I’m really happy that yours is for you. (I know mine was for me, and knowing that made all the difference in the world).
@h5e I’m sorry. That’s such a heavy costume to wear. 🏋️♀️
@tillybridges Anna Torv!? 🤩
Very auspicious. It was 🥰 seeing Vasilisa turn up just hours after having re-read her tale.
@Ten I was tired of opening jars for other people.

✅ Raining in the Mountain
✅ La Jetée
🇯🇵 Battles Without Honor and Humility
🤥 Pinocchio (2022)
🚣♀️ Céline and Julie Go Boating
Ah, La Jetée. It’s dream logic is as deft as its execution. 💕 #cinema
I’d forgotten how massively influential this photo novel was to my own filmmaking experiments back in the late 90’s. In the early naughts, I wrote (and with a friend, photographed) a photo novel of my own, complete with a unicorn (of a sort) and a werewolf (of a sort).
Post-production never happened. I was in law school, and then I was homeless and poor, and now I am shackled to a very hungry career. But the negatives exist; anything is possible.
All of the stories I tried to tell were queer and filled with trans longing, whether they were about human-sized puppets animated with the swappable souls of birds, or, in this case, the romance between an ugly unicorn and a lonely virgin.
@theconfusedyeti@tech.lgbt 💯
Selfies, eye contact
@Oliviawerth @aprilkirby @JenWithGravy You look super cute!! 😍
(Well, queer or ribald musical comedies starring a mixed cast of humans, stuffed animals, and computer-animated sock puppets). #weirdgirl
