so historically ninjas were just like, black ops samurai. guys who specialized in surveillance, spying, and assassinations. they'd either wear samurai armor or commoner clothes to blend in and carry out their actions. (there's even evidence of them doing things like sharpening coins into shuriken for assassinations). but after the fact (as in decades--centuries) in japanese theatre in kabuki in particular there were ninja characters who'd appear. what they did was have the ninjas in all black--the uniform of japanese stagehands. the audiences are trained to just completely ignore the stagehands even if they were like actively moving scenery during a scene. so for the ninjas to appear in all black and then start talking, would have been as if they materialized out of thin air and been a very powerful special effect. this continued on into japanese film with the costumes

Since the developer of *Heartbeat* never seem to have apologized for all the transphobia, I feel compelled to remind people that:

(1) itch.io doesn't check the validity of a mail domain, which means you can get an account with an "e-mail" like terf@go2.hell

(2) itch.io lets you rate games without having to buy them.

Efdn should rename toots to sploots, because it simply would be epic

Look what my mom made me

When is mastodon going to add an @everyone. I have a lot of important things to say

People sleep on Dominos.

Dominos is good as fuck.

@AudreyJune i found "Straight Men are Part of the Trans Community" and what the hell happened here, other than a Vice editor figuring out a way to turn somebody's self-hating, lesbian-erasing bad take into clicks and me hating her also

the only part of this article that makes sense is the solitary sentence

> It's somewhat unsettling to imagine cis men as any part of the trans community because they've played no part in the work we've done for each other and ourselves.

if this had gotten pitched with the title "Straight Men are Part of the Straight Women Community" it probably wouldn't have made it past the first screener 🙄

this is because the TERFs have moved on to calling themselves "materialist-feminists," isn't it. listen... when they say 'materialist' they mean naïve biological-essentialist scientism, and when I say 'materialist' I mean the dialectical science of economic materialism, i.e.: if trans women are "m*n" who are disproportionately pushed into sex work and vulnerable-dependence on financially-stable sexual partners via hiring, firing, pay, and housing discrimination, what the fuck is a 'woman'

going back to my people's natural holistic method of transitioning, i.e. getting locked up in an asylum and fucking dying

YYYY-MM-DD all the way

@Aleums @SuperGideon Also worth noting that the UK has delayed theirs a couple days so that they can still organize for the election.

“Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’

What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!”
