bluesky users have the slightest idea what you are calling for before jumping on the hate train challenge: impossible edition

has anybody yet invented a mastodon instance that has lots of trans people and doesn't require trypophobia content warnings or similar bullshit because if not, i'm still not touching that shit, i'll go completely offline before i submit to Mandatory Tumblr Culture

"the owner of the dallas cowboys has threatened to support a player strike" is a sentence never before uttered anyway watch randall cunningham seizes the means of production by jon bois

anyone who tries to start or keep going bullshit like "i as a white trans woman know that white trans woman racism is a problem we must ritually denounce constantly" right now is a collaborator while bourgeois cisoids purge our black brothers and sisters for speaking up against hypocrisy and abuse.

acceptance

bluesky is incorporated as a public benefit corporation, "we care about things other than making money" is built into the legal foundation of the company. why are people *upset* that they don't want to cynically capture their attention for profit? lmao 2nd speech bubble is literally just this

sounds like a great reason for us all to prioritize making/moving to third party clients and appviews, and also pressuring bluesky to un-hardcode the appview consumed by the phone app and webapp so we have choice. i've got recurring donations set up to blacksky and northsky; do you, reader?

even if atproto goes to shit i'm never moving to mastodon. i'd rather a power-hungry mod who has no experience moderating professionally not be able to cut people off of their instance against their will because they have a grudge

question: can i competently fry tofu? answer: i can fry it to look beautiful, be mid according to my tofu-loving husband, and a "permissible substance" according to my tofu-ambivalent self

What’s lost in this conversation is that language must always escape containment, so your playful little “clanker” slur is now being directed at people with bionic limbs. Harmless fun, right? www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8AjSabH/

I'm glad in a year of aggressive anti-Latino racism, deportations, dehumanization, and violence white people are finding the time to defend roleplaying as racist for the lols As if we aren't forced to watch this shit be targeted at us, now we get to watch our trauma be turned into a fucking joke

People are gonna start making jokes about the "AI question" and "final solutions" within a month I guarantee it And anyone who says it's fucking weird is gonna be accused of defending AI because as we all know jokes are more important than not doing right wing agitprop

i didn't take adderall on wednesday and i spent 7 hours on tire enthusiast forums because i idly wondered if there's a difference between "all weather" and "all-season" tires. (i neither care about nor need tires.) (if i did need tires it does not snow here.) (that means get all-season.)

lol

this is sexual harassment.

question for the atproto nerds: is there any work being done on tools for managing scoped access to a repository on a PDS?

i think that the stewards of a space not accepting themselves or their employees being treated the way corporations have conditioned the public to treat customer service reps is actually really important, and a culture spike to establish that is a good thing.

when i follow blacksky PDS users, their posts show up in my feed with zero friction, have accurate metrics when they first appear, and when i click on them i see all the replies in the original UI i was already looking at. mastodon who?

Then what the fuck is the point of you

So, my IMAP Spacecraft has launched, the government is shut down, and I no longer work as a spacecraft flight controller. Those aren't related by the way, those are just things that happened. Anyway you should watch this video simply for it's educational content and for no other reason:

a post: you don't need to talk about "the trans person" at bluesky behind the scenes. you don't need to make assumptions like "she probably hates herself". you don't need to use me in your arguments about anything that happens on this site unless its something i do. stop it pls.

Look in 8th grade my middle school did away with separating gifted kids and regular ed kids and it was a huge culture shock but you know what it fucking forced me to learn how to actually speak human and not be a smug fuck riding an intellectual high horse For that I'm forever grateful

it's honestly amazing how if you wanted to find out about transition you had to read a magazine full of random tgirl lewds and hot takes about reagan. it was exactly like bluesky actually

xbox game pass costs 360 dollars a year because you see that price, turn 360 degrees, and walk away

this actually seems like the important lesson of the *Obama years* and yet some on the strategy side haven't learned it yet

they already shut down all the positive services the government provides, hell they even fired all the civil servants who normally get brought up as vulnerable to furlough. dems shouldn't let them turn the government back on until they agree to immense concessions.

Oh my god the trains is trans let’s gooooo

i don't understand why automod labeling imitation fact check captions as misleading is a problem, I thought it was just a clever way to check which accounts have a flag set in the background to bypass the automod, and the problem is the pattern of transmisogyny that distribution reveals

A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

do you think zohran mamdani has read baru cormorant

me: [after an hour listening to river with an elf] so you're into ambient? elf: this would actually be considered drone river: [plays a second chord] elf: but there's overlap

my birthday in a couple months is going to be both my 30th birthday, and my 3 year HRT anniversary. so it's also the day where i reach the milestone of having spent 10% of my life being true to myself!

many of u

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

as before, "has ever smoked single cigarette or joint, even 20 years ago" remains a qualifying underlying condition btw

This is also why they continually oppose the legalization, or even decriminalization, of sex work. They want access to *low paid* sex workers who are afraid to report assaults. Take away cops' boots on their necks, and sex workers can and will organize to greater effect for fair pay and safety.

i fought this guy on the astral plane while i was under anesthesia for my bottom surgery don't worry, i tricked him into boarding a train that shares tracks with astral CSX, he'll be stuck there for a while

i've thought kurzgesagt videos have been going downhill on information density for a while, but a video on pregnancy that spins such nonsense anthropomorphized narratives as "the mother's genes inside the embryo have more allegiance to her mutual survival than the father's genes" is a new level

so many of my friends are the happiest with themselves theyve ever been and the unhappiest with the world at the same time

finally, we have obtained footage of Your Upstairs Neighbor (also this is impressive)

it's so depressing as a trans person because we know that the wild doses the cranks are advocating, 10x higher than what's used for puberty suppression, are just an obvious sedative and growth suppressant. they're scared of autistics and want us tranquilized and physically small.

finally sitting down to play dream askew was exhausting in a good way, it's an excellent game at drawing out feelings and creative threads to weave something together. i think it's the only game i've ever played where i remember how the players reacted better than i remember the characters.

i've been subbed to the blacksky labeler for like a week and already it's helped me avoid following two accounts, where i see a good post come across my feed that would otherwise make me consider following, but the account is labeled, and a cursory search of their posts reveals EXACTLY why.

Yeah man we should really fight back by staying on X
