Who among us has not felt similarly?

Also, too:

Preface to a thread:. 1. Voting 4 fascists is bad. 2. If you voted for fascists you should feel bad. 3. If they want to vote against Trump bc they feel hurt, that's not a change in fascism, that's a change in enemy. 4. It's not the job of the ppl the fascists hurt to heal the fascists' wounds.

“We love you! See, you’re gonna be our blood sacrifice that we need to make so that we get to see ✨*~*JEEESUUS AGAAAIIIN*~* ✨😇” really does make one feel like the belle of the ball, doesn’t it

Several months back in my mentions RIGHT HERE ON BLUESKY someone told me that the Christian Old Testament was the same as the Torah. I corrected them. They got mad and called me ignorant. I do not know what is with people.

Sounds like the segregationists in Connecticut are having a grand ole time “While waiting for the police to arrive, the old Karen’s friend said, ‘You’re not the minority anymore.'” www.blackenterprise.com/alex-okeefe-...

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

The problem with the Trans Militant Cult is mainly the derivative lyrics and uninspired guitar solos. But their keyboardist is solid, the bass is funky, the drummer handles the time signature changes smooth as soy milk, and you just can't get a better rock piccolo sound outside of Jethro Tull.

I have been having an e-mail back and forth for the last 20 days with an old friend of mine about who were the biggest dorks, 𝐷𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑜𝑠𝑎𝑢𝑟𝑢𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑥 or 𝐷. 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑏𝑒𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑠. I shared our discussion with my BFF who settled the argument: we were.

This is the best thing I've seen all year.

Host: Let's play Wheel Of Ornithology! Me: Are there any jays? Host: No sorry Me: I'd like to buy an owl

For people who aren't aware? At least in the common law tradition inherited by the USA and other former colonies of the UK, the first ppl to face a public crackdown on the ability to marry were the Quakers, whom the crown held to be anti-god, anti-family, dirty, prone to disease, and drunkards.

I also have a case right now, I am not joking, where another attorney argued - and a judge agreed - that a Muslim litigant should not be able to reschedule a deposition noticed for Eid because it's not a court holiday and none of the attorneys are Muslim. Things are getting BAD.

In case you're wondering how it's going, I was just told that taking off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is discriminating against Christian opposing counsel.

On the positive side, the fact that corporate budgets have a spare quarter billion bucks just for fiscal 3Q bribes tells me that there's a LOT of room to raise the marginal corporate tax rate.

My first library card was w the Hillsboro (Oregon) Public Library. I got it bc on my very first trip to a library I found a book about mesoamerican art & mathematics. The lib didn't bat an eye at a 6yo lugging a book as big as her torso. He checked me out & told me not to drink water while reading.

If you love David Futrelle's work over the years, let's celebrate it: reply to the guy's farewell announcement with your favourite anti-authoritarian music. I'll start:

Missed this at the time, but hot damn this is good.

If I were to sum up my hope for humankind's salvation in one word, it would be this: "Psychoalphadiscobetabioaquadoloop."

Oh, that's my mutual correcting a clown 😭 😭

You might wonder - and I do - if gender dysphoria is being under treated due to an excess of caution. You cannot conclude based on any reasonable reading of the evidence that it is over-treated in the US.

“Drat,” said Toad.

Yeah, holy shit. I just checked, mine and @shaxbert.bsky.social 's comments calling them out- which have 2.6k and 1.6k likes respectively, are just fucking GONE. Can't even find them by scrolling down anymore, they straight up 'hid' them. Fucking cowards. bsky.app/profile/did:...

OMG it's early but the Fever are leading the Aces. I would be so happy for Kelsey Mitchell if the Fever were to make it to the finals. I'm not predicting it, but I would love it.

If they're going to try and retcon Charlie Kirk, then we should try to retcon him too.

This is worth a read, though I warn you if you're not already up on the topic it might inspire you to read another 3000 pages of writing on the desperate attempts to justify allopathic sex medicine.

"Gender poisons everything." --Crip Dyke

While I am not clear on whether Barrett's Privateers was written specifically about the life of Andrew Fleming, I do know that you'll never find a more weatherbeaten, one-legged, Canadian ship's captain writing for Wonkette than Fleming. There's no better to say of Parliament, "God damn them all."

That's so weird. How could you not know which way your shirt buttons? Makes me want to start an entire fashion company just to fuck with cis perceptions of normality. I would randomly swap button sides, create plaid, flannel cocktail dresses, and print "SEXY!" on the ass of men's suit pants.

Relevant:

"The WaPo cannot endorse a presidential candidate because of the recent policy decision by owner Jeff Bezos to restrict the pages to discussing 'personal liberties and free markets.' Oh, excuse me, this just in. They've added, 'and killing ppl we don't like to conquer lands we don't even want.'"

One of the most pernicious cissexual myths is that **trans ppl** are obsessed w gender when the average cis woman would never think of wearing a bow tie and the average cis man gets angry if he has to drink out of a coffee cup w too many dainty flowers glazed on it.

"The real key to dominance in bitcoins trading is being a good trader" I wouldn't mind Tautology Bot if it weren't for the tautologies.

beale *is* an unhinged maniac. depressed, alienated and antisocial. and his rant, critically, is inchoate, apolitical, reactionary rage, packaged in a bow for advertisers. what the movie gets absolutely right is the way that alienation is just another product.

Given the existential threats faced by the trans community, sending extra love to fellow closeted trans folks ❤️ we're all community 🏳️‍⚧️

Great gods of neon nightmares, you'd have to be a NUTCASE to wear those shoelaces.

This summer has been full of knives and dirt and flooding and death, but winter is soon to come and the basil plant will not survive the lack of light, so it looks like it's time to start adding this weed to my food even more aggressively so I can use it up before the leaves go yellow and tasteless.

companies make it difficult or impossible to disable ai in their products because it is an authoritarian project made from a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat they don't give you a checkbox for "i don't want this and will never use it" because they know many people would check that box

i need you to look at these excerpts and tell me you see what’s really going on TELL ME YOU SEE IT

@shelleybwoke.bsky.social Did you see that Honest Trailers finally came out with a Breakfast Club one?

Disappointed I can't comment on Amy Brown's post to say if it had been literally any other comparison, she would be underselling this fantastic, pun-happy, gay-stanning, octopus-mentioning musical number. There are good reasons to close comments, but I'm busting in saying, "This place looks open!"

I am proud of Merkley for doing this, and urge @wyden.senate.gov @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov to do the same. I'm a lifetime PNW'er and have lived in OR, BC and now WA. We can represent the best the world has to offer if we try, and right now that means opposing starvation. Sign it.

Falstaff may be the most famous character of Shakespeare's creation. At the very least up there with Portia, Orlando, Benvolio and Nurse. His NAME is a dick joke. Fall-staff. Get it? Fall. Staff. And he portrayed as frequenting a brothel where women aren't happy to see him. They hate Shakespeare.

"Ronny says, “We have to treat these people. We have to get them off the streets, and we have to get them off the internet, and we can't let them communicate with each other?" Imagine 6 mo after trans ppl are no longer allowed to communicate, the gov't starts the killing. How would you know?

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down. they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.

It's embarrassing that zero Dems in the senate would vote against this.

Look, I'm as anti-military as a left-wing pinko vegan can get, and there's no WAY I could hate the military enough to send them back into Afghanistan. Couldn't hate the Afghanis that much either, while we're on the topic.

I think it would be healthy for me to start a game of Civ, figure out which enemy civs are all-in on pushing their religion to people who don't want it, and then kill them all. Yes, that's right, I said kill ALL the imaginary people who never existed except as artificial groupings of electrons.
