Something I'm noticing a lot of lately on Youtube is serious pro-ICE botting activity on any local news videos about Portland - empty YT channels posting right after the fact with misinfo and weirdly high like counts. It's highly directed to paving the road for violence towards protestors.

Over 50,000 cis women have signed the @nionwomen.bsky.social open letter rejecting the narrative that trans women are a danger to women. The real threat to women has never been trans women. The real threat to women is male violence. Add your name today: notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

They're finally starting to get it.

These buzzwords feel meaningless, but the meaning they do have are things I vehemently do not want from an OS.

*quite late* in the bit but #47 is my favorite.

Cuddling at a party with a cute queer person I've met with once or twice before; I mentioned something about HRT and they looked up in surprise and asked me "are you trans?". I think that's the first time that's happened! Mixed feels but mostly euphoria about it, and not just because cute cuddles.

These are up all over my city tonight <3

We must NEVER allow all this to ever be normal - just another day in fascist America. It's as you say, and it's likely prep for coming for us ALL - those who dissent, protest, or just posting on social media subjects they find disagreeable. This Saturday still get out & PROTEST! WHILE WE STILL CAN.

Yes, you should be surprised and horrified by secret federal police running around our city kidnapping immigrants, crashing cars, launching chemical weapons and shooting and killing people. This is a thing you should be *perpetually* shocked by. We lose when we become numb to it.

Of the available options, I liked Tidal the most, it's near identical with a cleaner UI, a dollar cheaper, and the sound quality is noticeably a little better on my relatively low-end speakers. You'll probably want to pay a service a few bucks one time to transfer your playlists.

You know who understands and practices "live and let live" daily? Queer people. We have to live our lives knowing any person we meet may want us dead for the crime of existing and have to have the strength to say, "you just be miserable over there. I'll be over here living my best life."

I generally dug the ending of Season 2 of Peacemaker - a remarkably quiet and contemplative season for its subject matter - but cliffhangers are definitely an odd choice in a world where a genuinely good show has maybe like a 50% chance of getting 8 more episodes announced and then delayed til 2030.

Been cleaning so much I can't tell if I'm regaining lost mental faculties or fully losing them.

Any trans person who begins their transition today is exhibiting more courage than most people will in their entire lives.

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

I have shorts blocked on YouTube but every time I accidentally navigate in from somewhere my extensions don’t work I see something actively upsetting made by AI auto playing. It seems like it is completely taken over by this crap.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Weird days lately. Getting happy. Socializing with good people. Having great experiences. Finally back in the space to write. Putting something out for my friends. Feeling better about how I feel. Sitting with a new document a bit, and watching the anger seep in.

“OK, I really want examples of how good FFTs writing is, so I am going to take a screenshot of every time the writer or translator just goes unnecessarily hard on a piece of dialog” -Gets to the Milleuda fight -takes 12 screenshots in a row

We are not even at the end of MGS2 yet and my friend has largely figured out the arc plot

Want to do all the Tactics things and also keep building out a social life in a new city and also death to Chronos

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach. If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

Going live with some Tactics side by side! I checked my own video and fixed an audio issue where the Tactics side was not playing so Dycedargs dulcet tones will be audible now. twitch.tv/emyriad

A coke is now 3.10 a bottle which is really everything I need to kick caffeine for good.

OK, set up and ready and so excited to gab about Tactics! Live in 2-3 minutes for a tinystream: twitch.tv/emyriad

I don't know if I am gonna be able to wait 10 hours to play Tactics, plan is to do a little mini-stream at 2 PM PST and get started with the little time I have before picking up again at like 10 PM.

Ran a test run of the first mission of Tactics. The new translation is not as far from the WOTL as I would have expected, though noticeably of what are now four possible options they found the least impactful version of Delita's character-and-tone-setting line.

Definitely planning Tactics stream but my week is *packed* (mostly with cool and cute people, yay!). Maybe a late night thing today around 10 PM PST to start?

the democrats need to let the government shut down happen. they cannot let donald trump pass the funding bill that ends federal funding to hospitals that give hormone replacement therapy

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

When I look at what the Republican Party wants to take from trans people there is no line they won't cross--my speech, my privacy, my body. When I look at the Democratic Party I see no line they're willing to draw.

Beat Silksong (for good this time) with a single mask left, simultaneously hitting the boss while the boss hit me, and triggering magnetite dice. A solid finale.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

90% on Silksong at this point. I think the back third is considerably weaker than the rest of it, but overall it's an astonishing achievement. Glad I had something to tide me over through a tough month.

🚨BREAKING NEWS: Congresswoman files articles of impeachment against RFK Jr. We've been sounding the alarm for months, sending 3k+ quack-o-grams, and collecting 25k petition signatures calling on our reps to impeach & remove RFK Jr. We’re closing in on him. Help us WIN the fight. 🦆 zurl.co/vkZQV

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

ICE agents held a man’s five year old autistic daughter and taunted him with “Is that your daughter” in an attempt to get him to come out of the house. They were rebuffed but two days later took him from his car.

I hope he comes out swinging because anything less is still an outrage.

I have zero fucking sense of humor about this rfk shit. besides the obviously gross misreprestation/othering/etc of autistic people it's catastrophic from any sound scientific POV. any doctor who consults governmental guidelines for anything at all under this admin is guilty of malpractice

I know we clown strongly worded statements but every medical professional in the US needs to issue one by tomorrow morning saying "we're not following the bullshit guidance of a lifelong antivax activist & his senile boss"

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna do some streaming around Tactics on the 30th + after the 30th. I want to play and compare both versions (and I love the game enough to run two saves) so it sounds like a fun experiment.

I do not want to see one snide joke about this queen or her friends on this godforsaken free website. Anyone that can set aside the thing they love so much it becomes the center of their identity in defense of the greater good is a comrade i respect

Genuinely, the economy seems poised to tank at any moment, cutting shit like this when they accede to fascism is a remarkably easy way to do the tiniest amount of fighting against the cavalcade of cowardly capitalists.

Back in Portland since May, where the heck is my gloomy grey slate of a skyline? As someone who appears to ignite like a vampire in direct sunlight this has been a long and annoying summer.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

I see this reducing in reposts - this situation never went away. You may have seen a lot of people posting about it and some inroads made and thought " yeah things will turn out alright" Unfortunately no. we actually do have to keep holding their feet to the fire until they deliver.
