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

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.

To all the allies out there who fly a pride flag even though they don't count themselves as a member of the queer community, I love you, and that small act of solidarity does so much more to buoy the mental health of queer people than you will ever know.

Little known dog fact; a wagging tail does NOT mean the dog is friendly. It just means they're alert and willing to engage with you. The absence of fear does not mean the absence of aggression.

Okay, well. Queer & especially trans authors of erotica and other content deemed 'nsfw' by major platforms, please drop links to where people can find your stories in the replies. Everyone else: Repost people's links. Stop worrying about the sanctity of your feed & help the most impacted authors.

breaking my mewing streak isn't enough, I need to yassify my skull

i am literally begging every far-right conservative mad about the Epstein thing right now to realize that this is why the far-right projects onto trans people so much; it's literally just deflection, and you don't understand us, so you fall for it

Would you believe it if I told you that an Indeed application I submitted resulted in a job offer? Crazy, I know.

Strongly resisting the urge to have an insecure crash out today. Instead, I will channel that impulse into telling you to make sure that you speak your mind about those you think positively of today. Compliment that cutie. Tell your best friend their outfit is fire.

A (Had blue sky open in my pocket and this is what it came up with)

If you wait until you are already turning or changing lanes to use your turn signal, I hate you.

Watched most of an episode of a dating show a few days ago and like... you ever cringe so hard that you achieve nirvana? Like, I feel way less shallow now 🤣 Is that the point? To leave me with a sense of moral superiority? Cuz if so, mission accomplished.

I got a monumental 70 PB the other night, just haven't skeeted about it yet. So here it is! This post is also my FYI that I will be taking a short-ish break from the N64. Having some unusual pain and don't want to risk a serious injury. Length of break TBD, totally depends on the pain going away.

You will lose people over the course of your transition. Family, friends, and colleagues. But in the process, you will gain connections with people who see and respect the real you. And all you will have lost are the people who only ever liked their idea of you, not who you actually are.

did my first late-night stream in forever and actually got a PB after getting a huge raid from @belenosbear.bsky.social so that was awesome :3 thanks for trusting me with your community + giving me an opportunity to share this game i love with some fresh eyes!

Literally every Meta user: "Instagram/Facebook suck :(" Me: "You know, you can just... stop using them." EMU: "But I wanna still use messenger :(" Me: "I don't see why, but you can deactivate Facebook and still use Messenger." EMU: "Maybe." *Does nothing*

If you have a 24 hour re-run stream, I've stopped watching you when you're live. Just saying. It's degenerate and it makes your viewers think less of you.

Last Mario post of the day; got the burn boost gold in an offline race. New SOB is 50:22. It's really, really weird to me that I can low-key feel the 49 SOB coming on.

i don't think most cis people know what it's like for every fun or happy or meaningful moment you experience to be overshadowed by some tragedy affecting your fundamental personhood in some way within 48 hours on either side of it

PB'd in 70 again. Was so salty about how much better it could've been that I reset before the outro could finish and ran it back without screenshotting the splits. 53:38 icyww

The more time I spend away from social media, the more I realize that it was placating me, and that was by design. The people who own social media companies want the left confused and bickering while the right goosesteps all over our necks. Put the phone down and get active in your community.

328 day 70 PB drought is over, and just in time for the Summer Spectacular tournament hosted by @zeas.sm64.live I'll be live for LTA runs tomorrow at *1pm eastern* at twitch.tv/zeas44 MAKE SURE YOU DONT MISS IT >:(

The name of the game when it comes to transition is "trust the process." It's a marathon, not a sprint. It will be agonizingly slow at times. Things won't progress as quickly as you want them to. You'll run into walls. But day by day, year by year, you will become unrecognizable from who you were.

Start the process of getting that gender affirming surgery you want. Even if you're not 100% sure that you want it yet, start the process. It will take years for you to have the opportunity to get the procedure, and you'll have all the time you need to decide while you wait that out.

I want to crash out about U.s healthcare in a thread but also I'm not special and millions of us experience the frustration I dealt with today every single day. Why do we continue to allow this system to exist.

My favorite modern capitalist trope is small business owners saying they're going to make/commission their own point of sale system. Like... no you're not, bro.

I should call her

I am once again thinking about the fact that most of the worlds computer infrastructure is being held up by some Midwest trans furry in knee-high socks
