I'd argue it's worse than a blank page, in the same way that garment pieces cut slightly off the grain are worse than not having cut yet. When a thing is wrong, it will suck your energy into making it Less Wrong, which is often not the same as making it right.

A person who seriously, with a straight face, claims that this editing process is not effortful, is absolutely 100% a piece of shit who is trying to cram their dogshit into your life by using disabled people as a justification.

favourite pic of myself in 2025 "oh no!" i love this picture because it's a layered joke about just how out of control my life was this year, and also i looked and felt so much better that day than i had in months

*clanging bells and pots and pans and cymbals* NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE NEW RELEASE

watching my cat and my girlfriend's cat stare each other down over who gets to lie on the bed and who gets to lie in the laundry basket while the first movement of mahler's second symphony plays is ~the~ most overdramatic thing i've seen in ages it's a king size bed, cats there's room for you both

A wise person once said, “If you’re *really* fuckin’, get tested every month. If you’re *kinda* fuckin’, get tested every three months.” I make a point of listening to wise people.

Hot take, but it’s both important and good to have friends who are making less than six figures

I just saw someone yell “they’re just using it to generate ideas!” And I hate to say it But if you work in the ART DEPARTMENT and you need a death machine stuffed with your colleagues’ work to give you ideas Quit.

all my dreams last night were about jeffery epstein, a man i never met, but nonetheless reminds me of many men i did meet you know just in case you wondered what kind of psychological toal this is taking on the vulnerable

“The guy with dozens of public photos with the child rapist is never once mentioned in these files, that he ordered redacted” is a confession, not an exoneration.

am i good at magic? occasionally. can i read a board and hand and tell you the optimal moves? i'm a former white dude yea i can mansplain this shit for years

2026 is the year bugs changes the gosh darn game i will become versed enough in every format to become a commentator/broadcaster. i just wanna yap about cardboard

Thinking it might be a good night to get some eggnog and read Stone Butch Blues

it just blows my fucking mind that this pandemic and its massive, widespread, and still ongoing effects is just sort of waved off in how it might impact people's feelings and relation to the economy and everyone just keeps going 'but why THESE numbers now and not THESE numbers then????'

my solidarity is with all survivors of childhood abuse tonight. what an incredibly fucking rough news cycle this has been, with no end in sight.

american evangelical authoritarianism is just domestic abuse at scale

America is a culture of child abuse. Ask any survivor - we find one another, we form networks and communities. The true scale of it would stagger and sicken you, and so it is buried, it is swept under the rug, it is denied and the survivors are silenced by whatever means are necessary.

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous. Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively. The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.

The reason they're so focused on trans teens is that people who transition younger typically blend into society better. To the extent that they're willing to tolerate our existence in society at all, they'd rather we be easily identified by our appearance/voices/etc.

This is why you rarely see the anti trans side going after Hunter Schafer or Kim Petras. They went on puberty blockers and transitioned as teens. They're massively successful and living happy lives. They don't want to highlight that.

tenderqueer santa who adds people to a bluesky nice list or bluesky naughty list based on whether or not you call yourself transsexual

if all of your political policies are completely indistinguishable from the political policies of people who want to preserve their own sexual access to children i don't think you get to throw a little pissbaby tantrum every time someone assumes you're a pedophile

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

I have no idea where this is originally from or if my friend made it but they sent it to me once; and I love it

What's the small hill you will die on? Not your big ethical or political opinions, but a niche thing you firmly believe. I'll go first: Fanfic is a legitimate art form and genre with its own subgenres, and it's only seen as "lesser" because it's associated with women and queer people.

my biggest kink is women being nice to me. my second biggest kink is women being less nice to me

More drawing. First a clear ink sketch of Emma Stone fetching coffee and then the same image with a few more hand drawn layers to make it look like she got caught in the rain.

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat

you can all go "well this is the logical conclusion of american fascism" as much as you want but that doesnt make it true. this is way, way dumber than it needed to be. most authoritarian dictatorships take decades to accumulate as much dumb bullshit as we just had in 10 months

"you're a man" ad hominem "you were born a boy" sunk cost fallacy "you're amab" false dichotomy "you have xy chromosomes" false equivalence "trans people are mentally ill" non sequitur "changing your sex isn't possible" skill issue

going to rewatch this soon, make the family watch it with me

I vaguely remember a Michael Caine interview that he owes his film career to the fact that an American director had no real understanding of British social class and cast him in a lead role as an officer which an English director would never have considered for someone with his accent/background

anyway who wants to savor the slow merging of our bodies together until we're an unearthly mix of both of our best features except we retain the parallel consciousness needed for erotic interplay. we can fight for control if you're into that. can you drive stick

been singing all day (well, for a few hours) and now my stomach hurts goddamn, i hate how out of shape i've let my body become

I keep seeing more articles about how they regret it now that the damage is done & I truly believe that if you have any genuine interest in salvaging what’s left of this country then whether you want to or not, you can never forgive these people. You can never let them live what they did down.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

for the first time in my thirty-eight years, i find myself having to arrange my own christmas and new years plans and i have no fucking idea what i am doing

Almost 40 and definitely a bimbo, but my only advice is that being happy is just being en route to something you think will make you happy. Don't wait. Just find meaning in the chaos, little joys on the way. Okay back to fart jokes now.

remember, friends, just say no to cortisol ghouls!

apparently i have a temperature of 100.0°f, which is not my preferred temperature for my internals

i wrote this poem several years ago many of you have seen it before but i've been praying it again, lately

Frog and Toad were caught in the rain. They ran to Frog’s house. “I am all wet,” said Toad. “The day is spoiled.” “Have some tea and cake,” said Frog. “The rain will stop. If you stand near the stove, your clothes will soon be dry.”

old twitter was like a place in interwar berlin, paris, or shanghai people have romantic memories about in spite of witnessing knife fights between prostitutes daily and heroin junkies overdosing
