Wait, they made a Return of the Magnificent Seven? That makes no sense, a lot of them died. Did they come back as skeletal gunslingers in tattered bullet-ridden dusters, striding out of the howling wind into the empty streets?

so; Katayama Gorobei, Honda Heihachi, Ryuzo, Shichiroji, Shimada Kambei, Kikyuchiyo, Katsushiro.

Buahaha I can still name all seven samurai from memory! Probably, I'm wrong though.

When you're a kid who's been told that you're worthless, disposable, and stupid, on the losing end of life being phrased as this big exclusive competition, roleplaying games where you're the hero (and so is anyone else playing with you) and there is no win or lose condition (if you get killed doing something cool, that's a win!) are incredibly appealing. I am now realizing that part of why I HATED The Tomb of Horrors is that it hit the same "ha ha, look at you, the ADULT is way smarter and more powerful than you, and you don't get to option to do something different" emotions that I got from dealing with my Dad or the fucking teachers in my fucking schools.

Talk is *real* cheap (this post's a great example) and I have seen nothing from the Green Party or the DSA which makes me feel they are our country's needed alternative to the Democrats.

I am not used to feeling so much “it’s either them or us” anger without the other side prominently displaying swastikas and confederate flags.

These people aren’t the equivalent of conservatives who just go with whatever they’ve been told, and are a little bit scared of people who aren’t the familiar white faces; these people are the equivalent of Klansmen.

This is the first time ironically I’ve been assumed to be trans by people who don’t want good things for trans folk and, idk it feels like I hadn’t previously emotionally accepted how fucking murderous these people are. It’s like how there’s a difference in watching antisemitism and anti blackness unfold, and being directly on the receiving end. I feel like I owe all y’all an apology for not “getting it.”

So I told this TERF she won the argument and blocked her genocidal bigot ass.

I’ve met Holocaust survivors, and maybe this is because I was dealing with them in okay settings with nothing triggering the CPTSD, but I swear they had less persecution complex than TERFs and other right wingers.

This sounds a lot to my redneck Georgian ears like “Black men want to rape White women” and I know what THAT one leads to, so I guess it’s not just vile prejudice reminiscent of antisemitism.

We have Nazis straight up having rallies, police murdering folks with no down sides, folks tried to stage a coup in favor of a Russian asset, reproductive rights have been rolled back, and this doesn’t touch climate change, covid, widespread poverty, lack of transit options and environmental devastation, and what these people have decided is THE issue is trans women exist, and allowing that, somehow means they might invade “women’s safe spaces” to assault women.

Oh wow now I’ve prompted the gender essentialism and the misandry.

Damn I got a torrent of crap from that TERF including “YOU PEOPLE are dying to invade women’s spaces.” I’ve been YOUPEOPLE’d before, but it wasn’t for being trans.

Lessee, trans women don’t screw up access to birth control, hygiene products, abortion, equal pay, fair treatment in medical studies, etc. Once in women’s spaces trans women want things like using the bathroom or being imprisoned without harassment. Sure sounds like it’s you that’s manufactured a problem.

I really hate how atheism should be about freedom from a really hostile view of the universe, and actually translates to yet another version of “my religion is better than yours.”

daaaaamn this was from 1993? The lyrical content is stuff you'd run into in Oakland a few years ago, it's like some sort of right-winger's phobia about wokeness, hell it makes *me* uncomfy. She was years ahead of her time.

guess who's listened to "If That's Your Boyfriend (He Wasn't Last Night)" so much they forgot how the rest of that album was fucking amazing

I swear intersectional prejudice is the only reason an album this fucking solid didn't make her a household name.
