see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

Thank you, Europe. As a very very scared American trans woman, thank you.

as a kid I was like I DONT CARE ABOUT SPORTS LET ME WATCH THE FUNNY COMMERCIALS YAAAY now as an adult I'm like, please bring the game back if I watch another ai commercial I'm gonna fucking shoot my tv

okay it's not just me, right? Cris Collinsworth's commentary is so homoerotic he has to be doing it on purpose

the binary opposite of "manic pixie dream girl" is "manic pixie intoxicated tradesman"

"To point the finger at others is to point it away from oneself." It is partially a defensive action. Anyway it's hilarious how utterly typical it is that JK Rowling is in the Epstein files after all her grandstanding about trans people being sex pests 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is why I don't run ads lol

Ugh God why is this so true. Thank God I've always admired my mother's beauty, I guess? 😅

bro the longer I live in the Midwest the more I realize how much this entire country is hard carried by this region like every single person out here is unbelievably hard-working, resourceful, and individually capable. and so many are collectivists that value community over all other things.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

"so i asked chatGPT..." [remove from watch history] [don't recommend channel]

you ever just sit in a dark room and listen to an album for the first time cuz my partner and I did that with good kid, m.A.A.d city holy shit what an experience

If it helps, people are mad at Democrats because many of their social media presences produce comms which address what's happening as though we're simply dealing with the consequences of going along with a bad restaurant recommendation. The food isn't just bad, we want to shut down the restaurant.

Why yes, I haven't posted any new not-at-GDQ fits because I am an autistic woman and I wear the same outfit every day til I get sick of it, thanks for asking

your feed has been blessed by the 3rd rail anti-icing work train. RT if you too are anti-ice

ADQG fit day 1 (I'm not at AGDQ)

Partner's surgery went extremely well. Without exposing details that aren't mine to share, they got the best possible RNG and were able to have a simpler procedure than we expected. Their recovery and pain will be significantly less intense than expected. I could cry I'm so happy.

My Beehive discord homies will already know this, but just an FYI, I will be extremely scarce re: streaming/speedrunning during January. My partner is having a major surgery and I'm having 1-2 minor ones, which will mean little time/energy to be on camera or gaming. Will still be in chats tho :3

To err is human. To ope is Midwestern.

A must-read for my genderqueer fellows. If you're not already following Erin Reed, you should be. And if you're already familiar with her, you know how huge it is for her to have such a hopeful message for us with all the time she spends staring into the transphobic abyss of American politics.

Who up Xoofing they Pleiades rn (In all seriousness this is super cool and I thought it deserved to be seen by more people :) )

@mozilla.org I am a new Mozilla user, and I specifically swapped basically everything I use a browser for from Chrome to Firefox because of your software being light on AI. If I don't see some sort of retraction on the recent statement from your CEO in 2-3 days, I'll take my attention elsewhere.

why the FRICK do I think Midwest accents are so CUTE?! like I'm genuinely asking. someone tag a linguist or something.

For those of you in the path of this Midwest blizzard, make sure you're taking care of each other. If you see that your neighbor hasn't shoveled, assume they can't or are having a hard time and dig them out too. Give way on the roads. Be kind and helpful to one another.

I've declined to speak publicly about this before now, but given the increasingly messed up state of things, screw it. If you haven't seen me in your stream or community in the SM64 community recently, it's probably because you've got transphobes in your chat, discord, or other community. 🧵

is anyone else unable to open youtube without being absolutely bombarded by right wing propaganda in the form of community posts you can't dismiss from channels you can't block

liberals and leftists really need to stop doing the "but conservatives are hypocrites!" thing. like of course they are. no one cares lmao, the more important thing is that they stand for nothing except more corruption, hatred, and inequality. every policy indicates this.

every time I go on any website or app with social media functions, without fail, I see two things: 1. someone saying something so stupid it feels fake, usually because of reading comprehension 2. transphobia

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

the wsj coverage of the shooter might be one of the worst and most irresponsible handlings of a story i’ve witnessed in the last 10 years

I spend a decent amount of time around queer and questioning youth and the thought that maybe one of them looks to me like this keeps me closer to the best version of myself. Especially in these trying times, us thriving and being thrilled to be alive is a shining beacon of hope for our fellows.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man. Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent. We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate. My latest piece.

The same people saying "why didn't they take the eagles to Mount Doom" would definitely say "just use ChatGPT" It's about the journey, not getting to the destination as soon as possible.

🚨 SURPRISE DEMO UPDATE!!!🚨 CloverPit was meant to launch today (before Silksong delay). As a thank-you for waiting, we’ve just updated the demo! new: - Steam achievements - 4 new charm modifiers - charms rebalanced - red button & energy rework - Twitch integration - QoL fixes

I doubt anyone it matters to will read this, but if you are a company or brand and I go to your website and I see anything AI generated of any kind, it immediately tanks my perception of your brand and makes it 100% likely that I'm going to one of your competitors.

lol cool so @bsky.app is turning into another cooked ass social media site that's cool with hate speech unless it's the target punching back

Sometimes you have to first girlfail to eventually girlsucceed You have to girlpersevere

It's weird seeing so many people praising Gavin Newsom a few weeks after he invited Charlie Kirk onto his podcast and fully capitulated on every trans rights issue. Like, he didn't even try to argue with him, he just said he was behind him all the way on this. Guess I'm screwed no matter what.

is it actually yearning or am i just lonely?

Some of you might be old enough to remember the nearly 1 billion dollars our government spent trying to remediate an invasion of Japanese vines called kudzu. Well, come on a journey with me, because something far far worse is brewing in North America right now and it's already too late.

bar none, my favorite thing to come out of 2025 so far is clanker

“We need to have a debate about—” No. No more debates. You lot have shown you can’t face up to the truth even when it is set out clearly in front of you. Trans rights now. In all levels of society. Or you are my enemy.

Take it from someone that knows crabs, carcinization is the true endgame. One day all of us will wake up, eggs cracked, realizing we have been crabs all along. Don't make it weird when it happens.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm starting to get the feeling that even if we beat KOSA again this time, it's not gonna make much of a difference. The UK, EU, and AU are all doing it. In the same way that Apple had to give up Lightning for USB-C, this might be the de facto new standard.
