treating an artist's transphobia as something that's up to the reader to make a decision on implies that you think it's fine for people to deny trans people exist. kind of an absurd position imo.

to the M. Night Shyamalan auteurists in my life. bless your hearts for whatever joy you can rescue from the suspense-free & morally vacuous second half of Knock at the Cabin, which somehow left me nostalgic for the days of Old. we’ll always have Bautista!

also before I forget, today is, once again, the first of the month:
It's not just here: executives aren't just laying people off for no good reason, they are refusing to answer for it to the employees that remain.

It’s been over a week since 20+ members of the Vox Media Union were laid off, and we still haven’t heard from @bankoff.
We’ve collected questions from our members on the impact of these layoffs, and we want answers.
