Vaccines save lives. And no, they do not cause autism.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

My whole life is this and it’s amazing

I never knew how much I would enjoy having a clicked aperture ring until I got one

dear men: plz find a route to self-actualization that doesn’t run through someone else’s uterus

Aside from all the very obvious problems with the idea that consumers are to blame for not wanting or needing your product, there's a reasonable chance I would buy a new phone if it wasn't stuffed to the gills with un-turnoffable AI bloat

Libraries are free for you to use, serve the public good, are great, support creators financially and, I cannot be clear enough about this-- ARE FREE FOR YOU TO USE-- so pirating books makes you kind of an asshole, not some Marxist revolutionary. If the book you want isn't there *request it.*

Hey uh Don’t care what the writer did to your fictional bestie Death threats are insane and so are you. Because the character is fake, the person is not. Calm the fuck down, and move on. Learn how to offer criticism like a fucking adult.

Happy Saturday everyone! I'm a fused glass artist specializing in jewelry. This winter I'm branching into wreaths that make great decorations for walls, windows & Christmas trees. I sell at nora.jewelry. I'm donating 10% of this weekend's sales to Distribute Aid's harm reduction toolkit program.

[228] Dorothy Waste died by suicide in France on 7 Jun 2025. She was 31, and an electronic, industrial, and witch house-influenced music artist originally from Budapest but who had moved to France to escape persecution. #SayHerName #TransLivesMatter #TDoR tdor.translivesmatter.info/reports/2025...

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

Haven't visited it in a while, but you can find my spicies at frisk.chat/kitkombat

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.

I’ve been a FreeTaxUSA proselytizer for years and years and I strongly encourage everyone to make the switch. same kind of step by step “for dummies” interface, even for my complicated freelancer taxes, and you don’t have to give your money to one of our most evil lobbyists

Writing is magic and co-creation. Stories can change the shape of reality. Be thoughtful with the ones you tell! bsky.app/profile/swil...

I know we like to joke about “the writers on this season of reality” but FR what writers do is reach into the chaos of time & pull out a cohesive story. The fact reality seems like a farcical absurd romp is because WE ARE ALL actively working to weave a story that defeats evil & laughter works best

Friendly reminder that frisk.chat exists. It's the kind of platform everyone imagines OF and MV to be in practice, but is owned and illiterates by sex workers. Also if you're the Fediverse type, check out Pixelfed

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices. If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

It seems to have gotten lost in the MeToo backlash but sexual harassment is in fact illegal

Many of the details in this story are incredibly fucked up, but others are just remarkably stupid.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

When do we get to start going after the parents that allowed or enabled their children to be a part of the pedo ring?

Trump shouldn’t be removed in an electoral vote or through death, he should be removed in handcuffs for the entire world to witness. We need tribunals and justice.

It should be law at every level of government from municipal to federal that no amount of money budgeted for military or law enforcement can be spent until an equal or greater amount is spent on literally every other kind of expenditure, EACH

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.

needs highlighting: this isn't like a preditable but plausibly deniable outcome. non-consensual imagery of real people you encounter, like "that girl at the gym" is the explicitly advertised POINT of the app.

and meanwhile, sex workers keep getting censored, debanked, and criminalized 🙃 idk who I saw say it first, but it continues to be true that conservatives' only problem with porn was that a woman might profit off it

conservatives want a world where the only sex allowed is rape

Watch this. I swear your blood will boil.

I don’t know why he’s surprised. I have been saying this for a while. I knew they would start defending it. Because after 10 years I know they have no low they can’t go to.

Modern leftists of all stripes could learn a lot from the struggle for emancipation & how direct action radicalizes all. Nothing better sums that up than this banger.

all the obvious external factors aside, my biggest problem with generative "AI" is that it's not being used to free up creators, unleash their potential, open up new avenues of expression the way it was advertised. it's being used to skimp on labor costs, cut corners, and maximize efficiency.

my problem is that I want all the terrible people and companies to suffer without the rest of us suffering but I’m not sure that’s how anything works

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

You’re not allowed to do anything about it either, but it’s deeper than that. We have so far to go to actually get accountability and change. For now they don’t even want us to register our discontent with abuse and rape

That’s (part of) why so much energy is invested in who is allowed to be called a victim, what crimes are allowed to be called crimes. Well unless the child is below the age of 15 it doesn’t even matter, and we won’t believe the ones under 15 exist. We know it’s happening but stop being mad about it

Rape and abuse and pedophilia and all these things are bad in the abstract but we’re not allowed to say who’s doing it and we’re not allowed to say who was victimized by it. We can’t come up with ways to stop it from happening, either

Once we get too close to actually holding someone or something accountable there’s an effort to quell the previously righteous anger, and/or redirect it into violence against scapegoats that only ends in more abuse

The AI bubble may be about to bust. Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock. We all need to say this very clearly: NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH! Expropriate their asses instead. They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet. They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3
