me talking about a forced-orgasm scene I did with my nonbinary partner:

First they came for me (Jews) then they came for me (leftists) then they came for me again (trans people) then they continued to come for me (public health researchers) then they came for me once more (trans leftists) then they came for me but oh my god it's even dumber this time (autistic people)

I loved talking to Signal's @meredithmeredith.bsky.social, who is such a consistent, clear voice of sanity (and always a great interview). We talked about (of course) SignalGate, what AI means for Signal, why tech bros continue to be such a disappointment, and much more. Read, listen, etc!

Gay friend I have plans with in ten minutes: I’m running late Me, also gay, on the couch in my pjs: ok no prob

coates is genuinely a generational writer

never underestimate the sinus-clearing power of a hitachi to the face

there is truly no greater joy than making my loved ones laugh uncontrollably at stupid jokes that aren't even very funny and that's what's funny about them

Lia Thomas met the NCAA requirements for transition when she started competing as a woman. Did the right accept those standards? Or, if they disagreed, argue that they could be more stringent? No. They said she was a man who was unfairly competing and pretended that there were no standards at all.

HIRE TRANS WOMEN YOU FUCKERS

it's a good day to be kind to trans people

Any amount helps a lot. I have some big bills to pay this month and i'm scared i won't have enough in time.

what the fuck is a fork horse meal?

the revolution will not be dance danced

I want to open a restaurant called "food near me" where everything about the food and ordering process is carefully tailored to the needs of someone who procrastinated on figuring out dinner and is now on the verge of a meltdown

Bruh

seeing how my treatment-resistant existential dread holds up against bush era anti-flag

First or second or third they came for Jimmy Kimmel. I haven’t been paying attention so I don’t know what number we’re on. Probably one of the early ones

girlfriend, in the most disappointed voice possible: I saw you were posting today

Windmill is a type of girl

Pittsburgh City Paper's "Best of PGH" narrowly beats out Pittsburgh Magazine's "Best of the Burgh" for "Best 'Best Of' Series"

Oh hey, Pittsburgh folks or anyone with funds to spare, here’s a list of fundraisers for people displaced by the Squirrel Hill apartment fire earlier this week.

An air of sadness hangs over 9/11 this year

Lot's of new or suddenly active accounts being weird, turning up the temperature, provoking folks. Hit that block button and walk away gang.

girlfriend soup… ur telling me my girlfriend made this soup

I hate when there is another universe or dimension in a show. That’s none of my business! Don’t show me that!

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

Me: Can I have one of those blue milkshakes that symbolizes Grimace’s blood? McDonalds Cashier: (offended) We believe every beverage symbolizes Grimace’s blood

but nevertheless she/hersisted

every night i like to regulate my nervous system by staring at my phone and switching between 5 different apps that are all highly tuned to monetize my attention

Can I kick it? And by "kick it" I mean infodump about a hyperspecific topic until everyone besides me is bored and slightly uncomfortable

There's no countervailing systemic force on Bluesky, it just shows you posts in the order that they're made. But understanding Twitter as a machine that explcitly hides certain opinions and promotes others, and that one of the hobbyhorses of the guy who runs the machine is anti-trans, is important.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

Another morning to say that I will not vote for Gavin Newsom when he inevitably runs for president. If you want my vote, you should make sure to nominate someone who isn't a transphobe.

ffmpeg? is that an omegaverse thing?

i think people are going to have vastly different opinions of AI if their main exposure to it is shitty images and annoying prose vs using it to automate computer tedium

Training an AI to constantly check my texts and social media to make sure no one is mad at me

mortgage payment is due next week. if you got paid today, and you can spare a few bucks, it can help keep my family's housing secure

most horrifying sentence a coworker has ever said to me: "what's the name of your podcast?"

it'll be easy. like giving poppers to a baby

I keep forgetting to breathe... maybe a pneumonic device would help

i need a yinzer version of that Malatesta voting pamphlet

reminding yall again that the democratic party decided all this was worth risking if it meant they could possibly still keep funding israels health care, police force, & weaponry

noooo babe dont put faith in electoral politics as a viable route out of capitalistic oppression your so sexy aha

I wake up with a ~random song stuck in my head almost every day. there seems to be no rhyme or reason to what the song is each day and often it's just kind of annoying. anyway today it's Mean by Taylor Swift and I'm listening to it on repeat now and it rips

i showed a zoomer a capital letter once and it started writhing on the ground and saying slurs i didn't know existed

we should replace tech interviews with do dogs like you or not

I'm so good at having a girlfriend, I wanna try out having a girlenemy

sleeping with a flipper zero next to my pillow. for hacking.
