i'm sorry but this is extremely reddit. the concentration of reddit in her article far exceeds almost all of the actual examples from reddit itself that she complains about

hulk and chainsaw man novels in the manga section at the used book store

ⓘ consensus reality is dying. like and repost to kill it faster.

i kinda realllly want this outfit... i would have to bleach my hair though

i thought you might mike that here’s some more

SLS, NASA's Moon rocket 🌙🚀

to celebrate trans day of visibility i sat in my room playing heroes of might and magic iii and didn't talk to anyone. i don't really want to be visible in general

wait is it seriously controversial to say "i hope iran wins the war?" haven't we all been talking for weeks about how this is an evil and unprovoked war of aggression? you might as well support russia in ukraine and rwanda in the congo if you're gonna root for a US victory in iran

Purrs.

skill issue tbh. super mario 64 ds feels like when i was 9 if i allow it to

really delightful whenever i'm watching a french movie and someone answers the phone and goes "allo?"

need a girl to do this to me

That's crazy. Get lost.

every ~month i get obsessed with a different ada rook song and the song of the month is NOT COMING BACK rookandnomie.bandcamp.com/track/not-co...

oww. (every sentence, another line from superego royal jelly plays in my head. it's cause i'm obsessed with that album, but this story feels like it cuts the same place in my head so much sharper)

I would *love* for the people advocating this sort of thing to explain where new transgender people who don't have any trans friends or access to "private forums" will get information from.

i disagree with the conclusion here. we should follow the model of piracy websites which rely on open source mass proliferation and mirroring to combat censorship. restricting access just creates a fixed target. hrtcaf already does this and being "shut down" just means using a mirror

earlier i quoted OP disagreeing and deleted cause i didn't want a fight but actually yeah i want to say on the timeline: DO NOT stop sharing DIY resources! if you speak only in whispers the people who need HRT won't be able to hear you, but the fascists who are already listening still will

i want to move to a cabin in the woods, in a different country, that no one knows the location of, and also i don't want to be around corporeally i just want to haunt it as a ghost

i wake up and i look at the news and i feel sick and i stop looking at it and focus on my own life and i feel sick and i stop that and focus on what i can do and i feel sick and i stop that and i focus on surviving and i feel sick

guy circling around the grocery store parking lot at 10PM in a fancy convertible blasting an Iranian monarchist podcast (in English) extremely loud

Do you ever get hit with the feeling you might be fake as fuck? I try and cultivate the expectation that I'm not anything more but then people still think I'm a person, it's weird. I'm just a virus on your computer tbh.

you know obviously destroying social media entirely would not fix all of the problems it's caused and it'd probably have some downsides too but at least it would mean "the like button wasn't pressed on this post so this relationship must have been abandoned" wasn't a thing

btw i've had to do this before cause it keeps happening but if i stopped talking to you in the past ~year that's cause i had a bad depressive episode and got scared of and stopped talking to everyone i know. i think it's over but this is also the most common period for relapse so im taking it easy

this is also why, if you talk about CSA in any serious way as a political subject and structural pillar of patriarchy, people who believe CSA is an overblown hysteria will accuse you of promoting "elite pedophile cabal conspiracies," and conspiracy theorists will call you a pedophile.

washington union station has been full of armed national guard every time i've travelled lately. not heavily armed, and they are basically just pacing around the same loud boring stations all day, but it just makes me nervous and not want to travel

You claim to fulfill the false prophecies of the 'Incarnate' and the 'Nerevarine,' but you are really an agent in the pay of the Imperial Intelligence Service. You are an outlaw and a fraud. Yet you have the nerve to ask to join the Temple. Go away.

the worst part of having both anhedonia and autism is when people think you've either got weirdly discerning taste when really its just that most things don't feel like anything worse is when they think you're a performative hipster because your hyperfixations *do* punch thru the gap

a lot of people feel on a kind of instinctive level that its kind of gauche & unsophisticated, perhaps even inherently reactionary, to talk about CSA & its apologists openly & seriously, to have a political analysis of it as a specific form of structural violence intertwined with gender/race/class

just sneezed the tiniest sneeze of my life

i continue to believe that politicians should be given a generous pension from the day they are sworn in, at the same value as their salary, which should be very high and inflation adjusted if they take any other money until they are dead they should go to prison and lose their pension

one note for the "optics" amateur consultant crowd: "abolish ice" is actually the calibrated negotiating stalking horse because we actually cannot tolerate a "department of homeland security" in a multicultural secular democracy

the real reason i don't like using this app is the "only posts" feed only updates every 30 mins, often longer. what is up with that

always kinda confused when someone follows me back cause like .. why? i dont post good and usually i don't post

This isn't capitulation they just believe this shit. Beneath the grand pronouncements liberalism and social democracy both are based on the violence of the state; the maintenance of border and race and class and gender by men with guns Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

yaay my brain works again i think. not all the way yet but i'm capable of feeling will to live again occasionally which is really neat

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

this was the worst year of my life and for most of the year i wasn't really intending to make it to the next one. idk what to think of the new year, i have no plans

PASSENGER x PRINCESS was made out of resentment for stories about suicide ending with the characters miraculously backing down, or a moral lesson about why you shouldn't. I felt lonely not seeing stories able to bring themselves to explore sincerely what makes a person wanna die.

wow this osamu tezuka manga i'm reading has yuri in it

Lilith Zone redefined gaming with CRYPT WORLDS, perhaps the most influential art game of the 2010s. In this Rare Interview, she talks process, liminal spaces, and the kernel of beauty in our earliest memories. Watch Now: youtu.be/cVnD6IYSgJA #AltGames #ArtGames #IndieGames #GameDeveloper

it's worth noting 1) that there's a longstanding tradition of trying to play solidarity against basic self-respect and 2) that the Combahee River Collective's coining of the term "identity politics" was directly in response to this
