neck guards are mandatory in olympic ice hockey but I'm getting the sense that a lot of these players are doing the "surgical mask only covering the mouth" version of the rule. not to sound vampiric but I can see a lot of you guyses throats.

Oh imagine that! Don’t give discord your face and certainly not your ID

Oh NOOOOOOOO. Did someone scrape their work without permission, credit, nor recompense to create and sell a cheaper knock off of your work and replace and/or devalue your work with that theft? That must SUCK SO MUCH.

Thank you it makes me insane when people include how someone looks in their critique of their politics. "And they look just like how I'd expect someone with ~those views~ to look" hi yeah that's actually a fucked up thing to say even if it's about a basic white dude.

i don't wanna brag but i can get insecure about ANYTHING

Baffled by transphobes insisting that the name on your birth certificate is Your True Name Forever when it was common in my grandparents' generation to just...pick a name you like and use that, nbd. I literally found out both of my grandma's birth certificate first names FROM THEIR OBITUARIES.

abolish “A.i.” from your lives snd institutions. this crap makes things worse.

Discord isn't walking back anything yet, but this shows they are feeling the pressure and you should keep bullying and contacting them until they relent.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

To repeat. -- And to repeat: The political faction saying we must all have to log legal ID before speaking or accessing speech on the Internet, and the political faction who believe transgenderism is a dangerous mental contagion that spreads by speech about transgenderism, are the same faction.

never felt so at risk of actually losing my job due to brain bullshit caused incompetence, very at risk of having to find a new place to live within the year (impossible without a job), headaches & back problems intensifying and on top of all that, enshittification is ruining the internet. save me

please give us more personal data please please please please c’mon you’re being so mean dude. we only got breached like three times. we’re NOT going to sell it man please please please plus its for like safety? so you’re the one who looks stupid right now come on pleaaaaaase just one data point bro

I think the other reason the ID push pisses me off is I also want children to be safe, and I am simply not at all convinced making the internet a panopticon achieves that goal particularly when I look at who stands to profit from the panopticon implementation and why else they're in the news...

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)

The idea that everybody on the planet must forever be beholden to the default of babysitter of other people’s children except for their actual fucking parents, and as a result any attempt to opt of non-consensual babysitting must include getting my identity stolen, is an idea that must fucking die.

Kinda Fucked Up that in our lifetimes we've gone from "never share personal info on the internet" to "hand over your identity to the most incompetent corporations imaginable".

WEARING A MASK IS NOT FUCKING EXTREME YOU FUCKING ABLEIST DISEASE LOVING PIECES OF SHIT

always so funny to me when people are like “how am I supposed to explain Gay to my kids?” my kid asks me way harder shit all the time. “why did they build the road this way? why are some people bad?” I don’t know. please ask me about Gay

Oh my god, so many people are canceling Nitro that it's having issues processing it, cook 'em hard bois.

My favourite thing about how journalists cover Canada’s men’s hockey team is how they make such a big deal about how young Macklin Celebrini is and how old Sidney Crosby is. It’s like, “Here’s this young, fresh out of the womb baby boy, and this extremely old man!” (They’re 19 and 38)

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

People collectively crashing out about mundane-to-everyone-else details is such an rpf mood and it's funny every single time (especially when I'm among the folks caught between "yeah so rationally speaking…" and "!!!!!!!!! MY SHIP")

I hate having emotions about reality; I’d much rather have them about Sanctuary Moon.

The strangest thing about wearing a mask indoors is trying to explain to people that...indoors, I will be wearing a mask. Like, I just pointed out I wouldn't be eating at this event b/c I'll be masking and the coordinators responded "that's okay, there will be drinks too!"

I need your help you handsome and gorgeous lot. A friend of mine is an autistic adult & PhD student in Public Health at Georgia State University. She has developed a new adult autism screening tool with another autistic adult, Dorothy Ackland.

Them: "I hope someday we get more gay content like Heated Rivalry. It's probably gonna take a while though." Me: <plays the slide whistle> <lays down on the floor in the shape of a star> <kicks feet tantrum style> THE SUBTITLES WON'T KILL YOU I PROMISE <howls like a beagle>

Spent 4.5hrs tidying yesterday. 1hr moving things around (only vaguely in the realm of tidying) and hoovering/running the robot vacuum (yes, both) today (so far). Still need to get so much more done AND change the sheets … and this is just my (14m²) room. Really feeling the A(u)DHD here.

genuinely stunning image

I miss the granular filters and lock groups from LJ/DW times SO MUCH. Instead I'm contemplating opening a new account for following and interacting with hockey news, and can't really imagine doing any associated fandom stuff here until we get locked accs, and then I'd make ANOTHER one for that.

Hey friends! You are now into hockey so maybe you want to watch this new netflix show, but please don't. This is based off of a real bus crash in 2018 that occurred about an hour from where I was living, and to use the immeasurable suffering of those families and that community is horrific. Thanks!

Thinking about how bsky has the most horrible setting turned on by default that says "i don't want to see any other languages except English" and if no one tells you to put it on "no selection" you straight up won't see posts from people set to different languages on your TL.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

🚨HOLY CRAP. An ICE whistleblower just revealed a secret memo authorizing ICE officers to break into homes without a judicial warrant, which DHS's own legal training materials say is unconstitutional! ICE then hid the memo from the public, passing it along by word of mouth and private conversation.

If you spend money on anything Harry Potter, you are funding this. If you think it's okay to continue being a fan and talking about it and putting your Hogwarts House in your profile since you already bought the books/movies, Rowling had stated the continued fandom shows you support her bigotry.

i can't believe ao3 is actually down after they warned us for multiple days that ao3 would be down

friendly neighborhood barred attorney telling you to never put your ID on your phone

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.

lrp not hijacked, but I HAVE been on a train that got misdirected before. Way back from Leipzig book fair in uhhh 2018? late night train, already about an hour delayed from a medical emergency in Eisenach. Everyone's tired. About 20 minutes after we depart Fulda, the train suddenly comes to a halt.

Me pitching a train ad campaign

"An unjust law is a code that a numerical or power majority group compels a minority group to obey but does not make binding on itself. This is difference made legal." It is a good day to read Dr. King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail. It is a good day to do something.

no one should be working we should all be getting paid to stay home and stare at blorbo

carried too many things at once and spilled off-the-boil water over my hand and wrist, gave myself second degree burns. #injury
