'You say no human would reply to a forum thread about Tom Bombadil by writing and editing hundreds of words of text, complete with formatting, fancy punctuation, and two separate uses of the word 'delve'. Unfortunately for both of us, you are wrong.'

Gen Z kids on Tiktok are really speedrunning the whole "conspiracy-minded Facebook boomer" arc, huh?

(For reference, I'm a Virginian and people have been posting "there are mass kidnappings in Virginia!" As a huge conspiracy theory. It's a well established fact that Virginia's numbers are so high for missing children because we have a policy of reporting missing kids within an hour, meaning a lot of kids who run away for, like, a night get factored into our statistics, among other things)

Also, you are NEVER safe from fascism. While capitalism gives fascists the tools to rise to power, it's something you should always learn to recognize.

Poster: "For Spirits..."

As long as socially constructed gender norms have existed, there have been those who would not or could not conform to them, and those people have been a force for everyone's liberation.

We have prepared a new poster drawing on centuries-old art and poetry to celebrate this.

The text is from John Milton, writing in Paradise Lost:

For Spirits, when they please,
Can either sex assume, or both
And works of love or enmity fulfill.

The artwork is by Ida Rentoul Outhwaite.
