Why is it assumed that opposition is kneejerk and not seriously considered? This is the same shit as when we were mocked for exaggerating about the threat of fascism (we were right, just too soon). We’ve seen who is pushing it, how it’s pushed, toyed with its capabilities, it’s been found wanting.

actually on bluesky we don’t call them drafts we call them precum

This is both true, and not. Discord actually did some phenomenal things that other voice chat apps don't do. It's absolutely wild to me that I can't adjust the volume of another user on my end in Zoom or Teams. Other apps' noise suppression's way worse. I'm still looking at alternatives though.

My dogs aren't the smartest, but they're pretty good at pattern recognition, and probably have learned what some of my behaviors mean. So like, in the same way my dogs might lick my face affectionately (ew, gross, but ok), they probably tolerate a bit of hug along with all the pets and skritches.

99% of modern security products are just some company going "would you like this app that gamifies paranoia" and you going "yeag" like just don't do it. just turn it off

Cancel Nitro. Literally just cancel Nitro in protest of this shit. Discord has gone back on desitions because they were bullied, so just make them lose money, and they'll go back on this.

I didn’t have “the Atlantic running cover for a bunch of pedophiles” on my bingo card except what’s this oh noooo see I did have it on my bingo card ohhhhhh sorry….

I’m a catch and gorgeous and don’t take this for self-pity so much as annoyance at how the world is: I hate that I have to ask this. Even though my profile does say “trans.” Just to be sure they didn’t skim. I’m open to him coming back with a very smooth response though!

This right here is why people hate WS. It's not *just* that he's a milquetoast liberal. It's not *just* that he thinks he knows better than other leftists. It's that he quote-tweets minority women to dunk on them. Could have been a reply, but he needs the thrill of visibly correcting a woman.

Made plans to go dancing tonight, so of course it’s snowing hard. Snowed in, so of course that’s when the horny comes in. Just utterly inconvenient that I don’t have a slightly foolhardy booty call on tap.

An egg cracker post just in case any cutie needs it on this website. 😘

question for the Newsom libs: do you think you need our votes or not? if you don't need our votes, there's no reason to crash out every time we say we won't vote for him. if you do need our votes, i recommend taking a different tone.

Top that tall chick, dom that scary girl, she's probably sick of being in control all the time.

“corruption” is just “self-actualization” wearing black lipstick.

One more tool is the “button” test: If you could press a magic button to instantly and irreversibly swap your sex, would you? If yes, you’ve got your answer about whether you’re trans. It won’t be as easy as instant magic, but the tools are there, get to work. This is what finally got me going.

It's interesting that in 2021 Bill and Melinda Gates got divorced because of his appearance in the Epstein files, but you'd barely know this was the reason why given how the media just glosses past it. Odds are, you didn't know that Melinda had started the divorce process in 2019, citing Epstein.

cis folks: you may be under the impression that our doctors know a lot HRT. you may see trans folks saying we know more than their doctors and think we must be wrong. to support us you need to know that we CONSTANTLY deal with doctors who suck. even endocrinologists will tell you they don't know:

"We don't stop deportations" in bold lettering, and they somehow think they're on the side of good? Being a force that comes in and soothes the community after the gestapo terrorizes them might as well be a part of the ICE machine, not a part of the resistance.

Btw, the longer your hair, the more friction there is between strands, so it’s less likely to fall out throughout the day. Therefore, more comes out when you brush or shampoo. You’re not balding, it’s just physics.

[upbeat zohran voice] I'm here at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany, where 80 years ago some important progressive work started [smash cut] but hasn't ended. So here's what we're doing:

apoplectically sick to my stomach the people running the world spend all their might and megaphones calling trans people groomers and every single fucking one of them were in epstein's orbit fuck you. burn in hell. when you're done burning, burn more.

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

Take me down to the Parallax city where the far moves slow and the near moves quickly

alright so the choice is communism or pedophile billionaires and there's nothing else. you don't have to lock in your choice right now but maybe by end of day

Since I transitioned, I need to find the equivalent Derek Girl. It’s not enough to tell me about women’s clothes, I need her to grind trolls to dust. Anyone know who to follow for this?

I think it’s kinda shitty to call a bunch of people being actively attacked by the state “humiliatingly stupid” because Will Stancil is taking members of the press that they feel are complicit in their current oppression on Safari Rides through their pain but im just some guy

I’ve been on Al Gore’s Own Internet to remember when there was a simple standard of etiquette: “don’t be a dick.” It was called “Wheaton’s Law,” which hardly seems believable these days.

I'm sorry I can't stop thinking "all democrats know how to do is fund police, do means test and lie" on repeat now

All the anti-war and anti-occupation protestors were right. All the far leftists were right. All the “woke scolds” and your friend who’s “too woke” were right. They were somehow even more right than they may have realized at the time. But really, it was always obvious they were right.

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

I've got a consultation appointment for FFS today. Actual surgery will be sometime between April and June. I had another consultation last March, only for my insurance to say, "no actually you have to go here instead" where "here" had a 7 month wait for the consultation. Waiting. Waiting.

[ROB ZOMBIE, ABOUT TO WRITE ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE] you ever think about the car grandpa munster drives

Nothing in the article says she was a non-voter. Only that she voted Republican for the first time ever.

there's a journalist, Anand Giridharadas, who coined the term "dispronunciation" for when people deliberately screw up non-anglo names, or pretend like they're impossible (as opposed to accidental *mis*pronunciation) now i'm thinking about the potential utility of "disgendering" as a term/concept

Post at my dykiest? I’m gonna have to do this look again, it was years ago.

Sometimes you’ve got wraps, sandwiches and Game Boys all on the menu. Then they’re “handhelds”.

I just wish my tits could learn to compromise, you know, meet in the middle

Picking and choosing the very best aspects of each culture and part of the world just seems much better than bettering yourself to only the options from a single culture. Like, I get a certain amount of decision fatigue, but come on.

Indianapolis Star, November 22, 1918

Democrats would do well to remember the words of JFK as the violence escalates.

Monster girl who bottoms “for her partner’s safety,” because she is afraid to just ask for it.

i actually think the most common kind of dysphoric experience is just feeling kind of numb which is where the trans euphoria thing even comes from in the first place. and it's easy to see that as not dysphoria bc a lot of ppl are not very happy to begin with but it is actually dysphoria

my counter to this always is that i think ppl actually extremely underestimate their own dysphoria. very similar to like growing up in an abusive environment and not realizing how fucked up it is until you go somewhere else and talk about it and everyone's like wow what the fuck that's so fucked up
