if you're cis and you are asked by your management to police bathrooms, "can you confirm in writing that you are ordering me to approach customers to discuss their sex?" is an email no manager wants to reply to

somebody on reddit found this on a beach and I love a haunted trinket

There is a growing cohort of adults who think any art or media that doesn't cater to their specific preferences has failed in its purpose, and we should be meaner to them.

we need to bring back “web-surfing.” people don’t surf the web anymore in any meaningful sense, because the internet has been colonized into captive platforms and endless scroll algo-slop. refuse the “safety” of the feed! bring back the joy of information anarchy, unexpected encounters & discovery

They gave him an award and called him an environmental activist lmaooo

Praying for Rudy Giuliani. Complicated man, but he taught me that marriage and family don't mean anything. You can just do whatever you want. Humiliate and lie to everyone you're supposed to love whenever you want, or are bored. Honestly fuck them. Also he taught me everything else is like that too.

White train travelers and railway workers clamored for the cooking of these Black women, made them breadwinners, and then racism and stupidity inevitably twisted that into “lol those Negroes sure do love their fried chicken.” No, my dude, YOU love it. And you still do.

Also: the stereotype about Black people and fried chicken came about because, post-slavery, so many Black women successfully supported themselves and their families by selling homemade fried chicken to white people at train stations. It was one of the few lucrative jobs open to the newly free.

"A spectre is haunting Europe—the spectre of toxic people and fake friends.”

I'm uncomfortable with the data harvesting implied by BlueSky's recommendation that I follow the Pinoy Foods feed, but also it was absolutely the right recommendation, so.

A win is a win.

Developers want to build 51 data warehouses, each the size of a Walmart Supercenter, in a Pennsylvania town of just 7,000. And they are refusing to tell the community what technology firms will occupy the buildings. Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?

You LOVE to see it, good work everyone, keep up the relentless dunks on AI, all these bros deserve a wedgie/swirlie combo and they are not allowed to sit at our table ever again.

Every politically tuned in person I know is just kind of tired and cynical about what's going on, and every not-terminally online person I run into is somewhere in the ballpark of 25 to 75% Robespierre in their rhetoric.

Kind of a perfect metaphor for the media and the role they've played over the last ten years

I think we could do with a little less "Don't worry, I'm allowed to make this art because I'm traumatized in these ways." and a lot more "Don't worry, I'm allowed to make this art because I'm allowed to make any art. And also, it's none of your fucking business whether or not I am traumatized."

be more like uncle david

This has been a test of the emergency It Happened alert system and mine failed terribly. If It had actually Happened I expect immediate texts if not actual phone calls.

driving is a goddamn privilege and it’s one that id like to see taken from a decent 20% of the people currently on the road

The social media pivot from chronological timelines to popular-first was done at least partly to throttle real time organizing

Twenty years ago, Neil banged out the tunes. Who was he? Come on a brief and fruitful quest to find out: defector.com/a-brief-and-...

Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

I'm uncomfortable with how much I find myself agreeing with the Pope lately.

This that meat that you get out of the wall in Castlevania.

the fact that he’s using it for propaganda makes me regret ever painting this

Orban, Bolsonaro, Trump, and all the rest of these goons want you to believe they are inevitable and, once in power, invincible. They are not.

based based based based

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

Very funny to backpedal like this when there are weekly videos of you repeating your exact political beliefs tracing back like a decade

Less than a week ago, there were several prominent voices on here saying that they were sure Orbán was going to cancel Hungary's election. And casting that as a preview of coming horrors here in the States. Well, Hungary had its vote, Orbán lost in a landslide, and he's conceded.

This is fucking insane.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Cigarette smoke. Everywhere. Always.

Maybe as a child an evil fairy cursed me to each day read the dumbest fucking thing I've ever read in my life.

every other website in existence: DON'T FEED THE TROLLS average bsky user: this weird lil fella looks hungry

Something that's been jarring to witness in the last couple of years has been the real-time rebranding of the fat acceptance/fat positivity movements of the 2010s as "cringe" by self-proclaimed progressives who lived through it as adults.

What's going on in Israel re: propaganda, so ppl know: Was talking to family there this AM & they had TV on. It was reported to me (w/eyeroll) that there was a segment on "what a tough masculine hottie" Hegseth is, "with the tattoos and everything." "Did they mention the Nazi tattoo?" "What?!?"

As this was happening you were told shoplifting and home invasions were grave threats you needed to abandon any pretense of sympathy to address.

Yep. You’re going to say “fuck tha police” one day and a month later you won’t be able to get through TSA.

For this #InternationalWomensDay I’m sharing a symptomatology #embroidery, body map (2016), in which I stitched my #MECFS symptoms freehand over a few months. ME/CFS affects mostly women, and the symptoms are often ignored or not taken seriously because of medical misogyny. #SciArt

Lobbing the take “you dont truly know how to please a woman unless youve bottomed” into manosphere spaces to see what happens

Okay but what do we say when the Democrats tell me we can't afford healthcare? How about the ones you endorsed and campaigned for?

Sen. Markwayne Mullin has died of taking a standardized third grade reading level test. He is expected to be replaced at the Department of Homeland Security by two stray dogs humping.

AI is not accessibility for disabled people, and is actively taking work away from us. If you're making this claim this late in the game, you're either a gullible idiot or someone actively trying to remove us from society. Either way, you will be blocked.

This is not a productive thought but I would like to build hell and put all these fucking freaks inside it.

Uh no...we definitely realize it.
