You're stronger than you think. (1/2) #Mothman

An easy way to explain luddites: Textile manufacturers brought in machines that could do in an hour what would have taken 12 hours by hand. And then, tried to keep paying the now 12x more productive workers the same wages as before. That's it, that was the problem luddites had. Not complex.

"The playbook here is familiar," @parkermolloy.com writes for HW. "Find a trans person in a position of minor institutional authority. Manufacture or amplify a confrontation. Blast it through the conservative media ecosystem until it becomes national news. Watch as institutions capitulate."

A relevant gift for all your holiday needs~

If I have blocked you, you do not get access to me. It does not matter how many messages or emails you send. At PAXU, someone who did all of that decided to violate my personal space and get uncomfortably close to me for 15 minutes. Just because I am at a public event does not give you the right.

Oh you're saying I can use a riddle to confound the inscrutable creature who wants to drain my life force?

Rebecca was one of the founders of Interplay and programmed & designed for some of the most influential games of my youth, notably Bard's Tale I & III and Wasteland. She will be missed.

Y’all have got to stop trying to teach people magic with edh

JD Vance owns a company that buys American real estate and sells it to foreign investors. They specifically target Americans in crisis to buy their property for less than it is worth.

NYT: the transes are a menace. gender is hunting your children. they’re not enbies they’re fearthembies. Also NYT: how can we help cover up crimes mister epstein call us anytime

So me and @lotushomage.bsky.social saw my ex at the gas station the other day.

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.

you loaf to see it

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011. It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat. “Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

Solidarity always. Solidarity forever. We get through this together. We need an incredibly broad tent. That tent should include everyone who is willing to fight fascists and isn't willing to sacrifice anyone in the tent to fascists. Newsom fails that test. We cannot let him be our leader.

HEY I'M WORKING ON THIS AS WELL WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THE INTERNET A BETTER, QUEERER PLACE THE INTERNET *ITSELF* IS GONNA START PAYING BACK TO THE QUEER COMMUNITY FOLLOW BOOST THINGS ARE 𝘏𝘈𝘗𝘗𝘌𝘕𝘐𝘕𝘎

"i think you know it's a little more complicated than that" no it isn't.

The new Taylor Swift album is so flat you'd think she had bop surgery

I have a bunch of medical bills coming up and I could really use a bit of a boost

stayed up til 7am on this one hope u enjoy s/o aaron copland. we're gonna win a city we can all afford my friends

In her life, Marilyn Monroe was exploited and abused by so many men. Studio executives, so many people. After she died, men continued to exploit her for their pleasure: trying to get themselves buried near/above her. What your writer did here is obscene, nonconsensual and makes me feel slightly ill

if the Mariners take the world series they should pour a cooler full of cold brew on Dan Wilson

how does this man keep getting employed like sure he's a secret and a creep, but he's also a bad actor and box office poison. which executive does he have blackmail on????

I already loved Chaos in the first game, but their design in Hades 2 is genuinely gorgeous, oh my god. I love them so much...

action/platformer speedruns: yea we have to do 100 frame perfect tricks to clip through all these sections and it's all skill based and precise practice and speed old jrpg speedruns: WE HAVE TO TORTURE THE GAME BY RIPPING ITS SOUL OUT AND REPLACING IT WITH DR MARIO TO FORCE IT TO DO OUR BIDDING

it would be cool if more people would just treat all AI slop as garbage and not retweet/interact/engage with it. if you repost AI bullshit, (like the walmart nostalgia) even to dunk on it, I'm just muting you. it's soulless zero effort garbage and every breath spent on it is breath wasted.

On Friday 18 blue state attorneys general BLASTED the Federal Trade Commission, telling it to back off trans youth healthcare and warning of an insidious attempt to reshape the regulation of medicine in the US. And nobody covered it. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

this should be a huge red flag for HBO re: the reboot. if she's involved she will continue to behave like a tyrant and freak

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

this is the woman who uses the t-slur in the house floor 4 times a week btw.

In observance of Silksong release, we have made the difficult decision to delay the internet.

yea this dude 100% just wants to be in charge of the fascism

the “be warned, we are taking names” part is what has been missing from most major politicians’ responses

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

Zoom... enhance... ...oh...

I need Democratic online types to understand that because of this, Newsom is dead to me. Dead. I'd sooner vote for an actual corpse. There is no hope, none, that he'll win me over, *because he has established he is a bad person*. There's no coming back from this. Take my advice and move the fuck on.

A moment from pathfinder last night.

remember kids, if you see fascism, fucking say something and squash it like a bug. even if people hate you for it. even if people leave you alone to fend for yourself. because those people like fascism and in the end, they'll be the most alone of all.

Hot take but Batman

If someone clicked on you in an RTS, what would your voice lines be? "Yeah?" "What do you need?" "What's up?" "I'm hungry." "And tired." "Alright, jeez." "I'm working on it." "You get the next chapter when it's done." "Do I have to?" *Unhinged cackling* "Sorry about that."

This tweet pisses me off so bad the dudes animating the crazy detailed machinery were ALSO the perverts dipshit

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

this is where i'm at mentally these days

It appears the right candidate for Dems to run in Lincoln Nebraska is somewhere just to the left of AOC

Do not ask how much time I actually spent on this, I hope this is satisfactory

i agree with the sentiment here but blaming /tttt/ memes feels silly, especially considering both of these terms predate the online queer community. Brick and Fish both were popularized by ballroom culture. there's a whole conversation in Paris is Burning!
