THIS! I left because I didn't want to be on a platform that was run by a Nazi who helped get a fascist elected. I also didn't like how any post would be full of the most horrendous bigotry. Meanwhile, I would get banned for saying being trans isn't a mental illness. I do *not* miss it.

It is ridiculous to pretend X moved to the right because people left and not because it got bought by a neo-nazi who deliberately runs it with the overt goal of promoting his views and suppressing those he dislikes.

As someone who used to pretend to be a dog, horse, and such when I was a kid, I assure you realizing I'm not a boy or girl was very different than when I played pretend. But, then again, bigots think being trans *is* playing pretend. But it doesn't make it so. It's most certainly different.

I like this take. I never got too invested in sports, but I definitely played with boys growing up and it wasn't a big deal. The idea that women are inferior at everything is just a load of BS. Transphobia and sexism are linked. Also, yes. Men and women aren't different species! Good grief!

Name a song with "girl" in the title but replace girl with squirrel: Fighting crime, trying to save the world Here they come just in time.... The Powerpuff Squirrels!

The way they talk about having kids is so gross and weird... as if children are products to be manufactured or something. I'm happily "under-babied" and no amount of their complaining is going to change my mind. They just want more white people to make up for their supposed "white replacement."

Were you only allowed to listen to Christian music growing up? Or were you not evangelical and homeschooled. 😆 My defining childhood music was Christian rock. Switchfoot is still one of my favorites, to be honest. What's funny is my parents were fine with me listening to 50's and 60's rock, though.

Watching David Attenborough get highly deserved praised for his century is reminding me: There is no crisis of masculinity, as such. We have plenty of positive male role models in our society. They just aren’t being pushed into young men’s feeds by nihilistic ad networks and social platforms.

I'm watching a video of a trans woman explaining her story of learning she's trans, and she mentioned the "body horror of puberty as a trans person." I can so relate. Puberty was hell. I lost the body I actually liked.... A body I was actually comfortable in. I never thought to explain it that way.

In all honesty, transphobes are going to think we're insane no matter what. Might as well be honest where we stand. Yes, a woman can have a penis and a man can have a vagina. Because we do not reduce people to their genitals! And in all honesty, I think those who do are the crazy ones.

Marjorie Taylor Green isn’t a known antisemite because she criticizes Israel, she’s a known antisemite because of all the talk about secret cabals, Jewish space lasers, Great Replacement theory, and Jews killing Jesus. Hope this helps some leftists who are mad at AOC for being right about her today

hey hey guys MTG is opposed to Trump now not because she's been convinced of genocide but precisely because she's antisemitic. She doesn't think we should be aligned with Israel *because of her antisemitism*. Please for the love of all that is good, understand that!

If Black votes didn't matter, they wouldn't be working this hard to steal them. You don't spend millions of dollars and pass dozens of restrictive laws to stop something that "doesn't matter."

If Jeremy Boreing sounds familiar, it's because he founded The Daily Wire. It's wild to see transphobes claim the "trans agenda" was taking advantage of Autistic people. And now here they are calling Autism a social contagion, too. 🤦‍♂️ I mean, does this mean RFK Jr. will stop going after us? Doubt it.

I just have to wonder if my sister and mother who both have several chronic health issues know they voted for an administration that's fine with their deaths. Because this regime wants strong, healthy, able-bodied people and don't care what happens to the rest.

This is why I'll never understand how my own family vote the way they do. Do they want people like me to suffer? I have to assume so based on who they voted for and who they continuously defend and think is a good leader despite everything...

When I watched the Barbie movie, it just made me want to be like a Barbie doll and not have any sex organs and the like. That would be great, actually. I'm asexual, non-binary, and don't want kids. I don't need any sex characteristics, thanks. It's something I wished ever since I was a kid.

i post this every year because men soaking in toxic masculinity are all “why can’t we get women” and Tom Holland dances in drag and lands one of the hottest women on the planet, maybe there’s a lesson here guys

I am neither Barbie or Ken. I'm Allan. And there are no multiples of Allan. 💜

People need fun, joy, and art in their lives.   If you spend your time being a miserable killjoy who tries to take that fun, joy, and art away, then you are part of the problem.

It's funny when religious people say things like "without god, everything is permissible. You'd be able to do whatever you want!" Implying going out and harming people. But... as an atheist, I *do* do everything I want. I want to play video games. I want to hang out with friends. ...

This is so true. Every time I hear someone talking about how they can’t possibly do what they do without AI I want to shake them. Do what you did in 2022 or so! It hasn’t been that long!

And they said “AI” would replace artists. Meanwhile in real life, the slopbot can’t even handle the literal first thing taught in art 101.

My most important messages from my recent stream with @jovanbradley.bsky.social.

Everyone deserves gender euphoria and to be comfortable in their own gender, not just trans people. Trans rights are human rights, and this is part of why we say that.

I have learned this lesson by watching my cats. They sleep when they want, play when they want, eat when they want. They take the world day by day and just exist. They don't have anywhere they need to be. They have no goals or ambitions. They can just exist. I want to be like that.

Here’s how the AI Boom, such as it is, has impacted my life: it has been used as an excuse to lay off my friends for bot equivalents that never came. It has made mass culture and art immeasurably worse. I have a stalker with AI psychosis. So, no, I don’t more data centers. I want less of all that.

I got a call from my boss this morning... all the employees in the company will now be freelance instead of salary, which means I lose my health insurance and other benefits as well as won't be paid as much. It also means I'll have to pay for my own Adobe CC so I can even do the job.

I'm watching a discussion with some ex-Christians and a person who recently became a Christian and one thing the Christian said is that he lied "100% of the time" before he became a Christian. And I just have to wonder... how many people lie on a daily basis and I have no idea? I don't tend to lie.

Something that was eye-opening to me was learning there are less Jewish people in the world than there are asexual or trans people. Asexual people make up about 1% of the population. Trans people roughly 1%-2%. Jewish people make up 0.2% of the world population. Puts things into perspective for me.

Why am I not Conservative? The simple answer is that I think everyone, no matter their race, gender, sexuality, religion, migrant status, etc. are all equal and all deserving of basics human rights and dignity. I have not seen Conservatives agree. Their actions scream the opposite.

Part of why I'm so anti-AI/LLM. I prefer using my brain, thanks. It's part of what makes me human. I don't want some rich oligarchs taking that away, convincing me that I can't do the things I'm actually good at. No, thanks.

The right are so obsessed with the idea that leftist agitiators on are secretly being paid is simply because their movement is being secretly financed. They also can't imagine why you would take a position that you weren't being paid to take, since they have no actual principles beyond self-interest

More people like this, please. I've always loved her ever since Princess Diaries. I'm so glad to know we have a fierce ally who will use her voice and platform for love and good. My heart was touched hearing this. 💜

Do... do they seriously think this would help their image. "Gee, you know. Our agents are killing people, kidnapping children to trap their parents, abusing women in custody, are overall bigots and racially targeting people. What can we do to make them seem... nice? Oh, I have an idea!" Good lord.

Am I the only one who gets a bit weirded out when people refer to non-binary people as "they/thems." For example, "my friend is dating a they/them." It's just weird. You can just call us non-binary people. Or enby, if you want something shorter. But a they/them? Really?

I'm old enough to remember smoking/non-smoking sections in restaurants. I never liked smoking. My mom grew up in a family of smokers and hated it. My dad had too many health issues, so he didn't smoke. And anyone I knew who smoked smelled awful and couldn't help but crave smoking.

Conservatives are preying on the insecuties of the most pathetic manchildren in the country. Democrats can offer them their self respect back by telling them, straight up, there's as much place for them in a free and equal society as there is anyone else. No more, no less, buttercup.

Do cis white dudes need to be patted on the head and told what good special boys they are all the time?

I was getting lunch at Subway and stood behind this couple, and the lady said what veggies she wanted on her sandwich and requested banana peppers. Her partner came up next to her and said "I'm going to put my banana in your sandwich tonight." 😖 Why are straight people so weird?

Quote with your vibe if you were a vampire.

I've been thinking about this recently. Because I notice some theists will ask "where did the universe come from" or something similar once they find out someone is an atheist. And I find it fascinating, because it reveals to me at least in part why they themselves are religious.

This reminds me when my mom looked up why she couldn't get her stitches wet after a surgery and the AI overview gave her this. This is why I have Google set to just Web, so I don't get the AI overview anymore unless I click over to "all."

I was recently reminded how my dad reacted to finding out I'm non-binary. He didn't really know what to think but he was concerned because he thought I was contorting myself to fit in a certain box. If anything, being non-binary helped liberate me from the box society thrust on me based on my body.

Not sure if anyone else here follows or watches @forrestvalkai.bsky.social or not, but someone is impersonating him on Facebook and being creepy. Thought I'd help spread the word to my small following here. youtube.com/shorts/taucS...

No, see. He left out a word. They believe only Conservative comedians and professors shouldn't lose their jobs. It's perfectly fine if someone is being bigoted. It's only when they make fun of Conservatives they have an issue. But saying slurs and harassing marginalized people? Totally fine to them.

Thank you! I will never understand why so many people want to force people who don't want kids to have them. What, you want more kids born but you don't care if they are going to grow up in a loving home that wants them? You want children to suffer? Not everyone would make a good parent.

Anytime I hear a Conservative say we shouldn't call Trump a rapist, liar, fascist, pedo, etc. because they think it incites violence, it reminds me they're telling on themselves that they know demonizing LGBTQIA+ people, immigrants, etc. leads to violence. They know and do it anyway.

But apparently it's also a country where the leader can assassinate leaders of other countries, because it's perfectly acceptable to start wars because other countries have leaders you don't like. Do you think they'll ever realize the double standard they have? I don't think they will or even care.
