The french president’s wife locked on him when he was a teenager (and her, his teacher). I don’t expect a pedo couple to push for any solution against the prostitution of minors. They haven’t even opened an investigation into the french side of the Epstein Files

Go for Signal Messenger if you want something easy to use and easy to use for others (there’s no point changing your texting app if none of your contacts will use it).

Else, there is XMPP and Matrix.

The science we love.

That was interesting AF, actually. I’m hyped for shroom leather!

Yup, I’ve read up on it and apparently she erased said tweet. Surely she did it because she realized it would end up badly

Israel is a terrorist state, episode 2049395857382929

It doesn’t work on linux from what I’ve heard so… Meh, unfortunately.

No. [Jedi Power On] The Harry Potter IP doesn’t exist, forget it.

Trans people are real and being constantly shat on by a class of people who’ll never experience hunger, so I’ll support real people in trouble, especially if I can do it by simply ignoring a campy IP. Fuck JK Rowling [Jedi Power On] who doesn’t exist too, btw.

There are plenty of other cool “magic school” novels and such, so it’s not hard to find an alternative (or something new) to latch onto. Ask a librarian!

Because of the repetitive pattern of sham/shallow accusations which goal is only to give the collaborationist media more material for constant defamation (on her, but also on every leftist voice speaking against the genocide in Gaza and such, which is immediately tagged as “antisemitism” for easy silencing -it’s a globally used strategy, so nothing unfamiliar here, you’ve probably seen it used against many people who are raising their voice against Israel’s crimes against humanity, or their current expansion war -which they roped the USA into). For instance, she has been summoned by the police for her deleted tweet, and they “found” drugs in her purse, except 1- I won’t believe a person summoned to an appointment with the police can be stupid enough to BRING DRUGS in their purse (it was later denied by her lawyer anyway). 2- The info was leaked to collaborationist medias DURING the police custody, which is supposedly both impossible and illegal UNLESS the police themselves leaked something for the medias to gnaw on. And it’s always like that. As for the tweet that got her in “trouble”, it was okay according to international laws (relative to the right of an occupied/subjected to apartheid nation to bear arms to resist the occupant). So, yeah, in France, the collusion of the ultra-rich and far-right media is established, so much so that most people don’t even listen to them anymore. Whatever the country you’re from, the fascists have the same modus operandi, so if you hear corporate media say something and the story is too good to be true, then assume it’s simply no true, especially during war.

French here, I think the information is confirmed. A weird campain is led against this woman, and at that point I’d call it harrassment, especially after the far right ambush set-up that led to the even weirder death of a young neo-nazi militant (the local intelligence had been following them, the police was present and they let the fight happen…), which was blamed on her conference being held nearby.

The Nemesis collective was linked to it as a planner of said ambush that went haywire. That femonationalist collective was endorsed by a former right-wing minister of national security.

I really think it’s a sordid campain to undermine any french voice that would talk about the genocide in Gaza.

Merci! Je reviendrai à de la fantasy tout public après avoir fini la trilogie actuelle.

Fuck, are they trying to make me fall in love with them or what?!

Mon travail actuel est destiné à un public gay ou féminin, donc même s’il a été nominé au prix du roman gay 2025 (Capax Infinity, Belgique), je ne vais en faire ouvertement la promotion en raison de sa nature explicite (et je ne vais pas te demander de me prouver que tu es majeur•e en partageant des données sensibles sur internet).

Actuellement, Bolloré contrôle Hachette édition, le plus gros distributeur de livres FR (y compris de manuels scolaires!!!) et les éditions Delcourt (bandes dessinées). Bolloré contrôle aussi les points Relay, lui permettant de faire la promo et distribuer ses petits fachos dans toutes les gares du pays. C’est comme ça qu’ils ont réussi à nous faire bouffer la merde de Bardella comme étant un best-seller, par exemple, avec la complicité des plateaux télé (évidemment). Bref, ils nous font de l’astroturfing à échelle industrielle.

En effet, l’auto-édition et l’indépendance sont maintenant les seuls moyens d’exister sans tomber sous la coupe d’éditeurs collabos ou impotents.

Then why TF are you talking to me?

… How can anybody fuck up an immutable distro?

Yes you do, you’re even answering to a thread dedicated to my business.

I am not a native english speaker too, it’s okay. I understand how it can be triggering for people who make a living out of it (book stores, librarians), but when that same interest becomes a gatekeeping fetish or a reason to take a shit on other medias (which rely on writers too! And a fucking lot of other art forms!) or other ways to come to reading, then I loose my shit. Especially when the focus is the medium and not the content. So many books are just printed shit. So many books are just outrageous propaganda, or a manifesto of their author’s utter mediocrity. It’s outrageous to put books on a pedestal just for the sake of it.

And english speakers are lucky, because they have a somewhat sane approach to reading. In France, it’s a clusterfuck. Books are only a fetish that is seized and gatekept by the collaborationist bourgoisie, and now the biggest publishers have been bought by a fascist billionaire, who’s using that very same bourgeois book fetishism to push his nazi agenda to the mass, by giving much more visibility to little nazi fucks. And because books are respected just for the sake of it, then the nazi propaganda is accepted as is! What a fucking scandal!

I am extremely belligerent against people who gatekeep joy and self-cultivation by confining it to text on paper only, because by doing so they spit on a lot more of artists and engineers’ faces.

Books are valid, audiobooks are valid, comics are valid, movies are valid, TV shows are valid, TTRPGs are valid, video games are valid, etc etc.

Especially video games, since they are at the crossroad of all art and engineering forms (drawing, 3d modelling, music, programming, writing, acting, voice acting, animation, etc etc).

Well, let them read on paper, then.
