Well, – you see – a colon can never follow quotation marks, in traditional typography: only ever two hyphens~

I’m not sure that’s quite true; here’s an example from King George III doing it the way America does it now (top right corner of the top page):

And an example from America in the same century (though I think we’re already in agreement, there):

But wouldn’t that just be an extension of the way of doing things, though? If I’m used to writing “July 4th, 1776”, I wouldn’t start writing “04/07/1776” when that format picked up (which, as I understand things, didn’t really become a widespread norm until computers).

Unless I’m misunderstanding you, of course (always possible).

But in any given situation where the month is important enough that I need to know it, I want to know the month regardless of the day. The 25th means fuck all to me unless I know the month, as well; whereas there are plenty of scenarios where I want to know the month but the day isn’t quite as important.

Is it really switching if that was the way it was traditionally done and they just kept doing it that way?

Honestly, I’m surprised they’re running this, at all, considering I assumed it was solely a means to divide Queer people and funnel them to vote against their issues.

I first noticed it’s advertisements on Twitter last year (maybe 2023? I can’t quite remember) and it signaling to right-wing dog-whistles and ideas was immediately obvious (to me); it felt like the type of stuff Peter Thiel would believe earnestly. Present itself as innovative explorers of new ideas and the real rebels (because the left is the group that’s the real authoritarians~ That type of nauseating BS).

I just assumed it was purposeful, meant to pipeline Queer people to those ideas and peel off support for actual progress (at the time, I probably would’ve assumed to help with the 2024 election).

Not sure what its purpose is, now; maybe speak to the harm the right always causes (but can’t be ignored, now) to keep its readership and hopefully influence the useful idiots (in the future) to keep supporting those who wish to obliterate them.

You don’t like Cox?

I expect you are to give your banking information directly to the peddler, over E-mail.

You will certainly not regret giving out your banking information directly over E-mail.

Periodic reminder that overpopulation (which is why, I’m assuming, you say we need to reduce the population; I apologize if that assumption is erroneous) is an ecofascist, classist, and racist myth. It’s convenient for systems such as capitalism and conveniently penalizes “Third World” countries but does not address the real causes of the ills that overpopulation purports to solve.

That’s not how any organizational institution works; they are not brands/corporations which cater to you, the consumer.

They’re human organizations which require you to organize within them.

Not even just exotic. They’re known for being germ vectors, in general.

👏 👏👏👏👏

Probably; I remember there definitely was for Emma Watson.

There’s a bit during the credits of the movie The Master of Disguise where someone, while asking if the main character can turn into absolutely anyone, floats the idea of the Olsen Twins; they were 16 when that movie was released (which probably means they were 15 when the scene was filmed).

Hey, – on the plus side – no one bothers to look very hard at why you’re still taxing your former colonies for you having colonized them?

While the punchline is funny, it’s probably worth at least likewise considering that Natalie Portman’s experience with her first film resulted in – at 13 years old – being sexualized pretty much instantaneously, an experience which may’ve (I can’t find any quotes confirming or denying) impacted how she negotiates with nudity in roles she takes throughout her career.
