The world is brighter for your having been here, my little boys, and poorer for your passing.

(fwiw, I am not "back" exactly, but since I had an errand here I figured I might as well cry into the void a bit)

He's gone.

bye

if you cannot win an election over 3 years away against the most loathsome people in the US while they are doing things like *kidnapping the fucking ice cream man off the street in broad daylight* without a ritual sacrifice of at-risk people, you are not the future of humanity. dream bigger, better.

Oh did some popular fave say something fucking terrible again, must be a day ending in pain

“Perfect is the enemy of good” is not a phrase that can be applied to *human rights* and it’s really disturbing how many people don’t understand that

Folks, you really do not have to

It's anti-human on a fundamental level to say any one of us MIRACLES of creatures & our children cannot freely walk about this ONE SOLE ONLY little tiny MIRACLE of a planet it is spiritually wicked to keep us from each other all across our ONE HOME, the only PLANET in the UNIVERSE known to have LIFE

Yeah just saw someone on here calling this the golden age of South Park and istg it was like they approved

Might double up on this and take the opportunity to get suspended, any suggestions

Having a lot of trouble finding joy right now but I am pretty certain that I'm not finding any here so yeah think I'm gonna deactivate for a while Not timeboxing this either, maybe a day, maybe forever

i think we have under-theorized and under-prepared for this moment, because people think fascism is still RISING fascism is HERE. it is ASCENDANT. and now it is wondering how much you, personally, would cost to get onboard

as an artist your political intervention, the way you mark the world, is the WORK. so if your art is any good at all, a few times in your life the devil is gonna come knock on your door, and he's going to be holding a big bag of money so as an artist you have to be ready

I think the core problem with trans rights and democratic electability politics discourse is that a lot of cis people are fundamentally incapable of understanding that our rights are as vital, fundamental, and important as theirs.

Y'all I literally just did a "And this is why I stopped playing Skyrim" skeet come ON

Capitalism is just agriculture and we're the livestock

capitalism is a utopia of perverse incentives, one thing it does superlatively is reward executives for destroying a business

Folks maybe it is not reasonable somehow I dunno but if you head up your skeet train with "my favorite novel is Ender's Game but" then that train is never gonna get past "but" with me, I've already pried up the rails

"I'm committed to trans allyship. It's important to me to listen and correct when I do harm. That's why I'm gonna keep the bigot lady role and try to buy you trannies off with a carbon credit."—Michelle Gomez

PSA: STOP USING SUBSTACK It's a Nazi bar. theracket.news/p/substack-s...

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Wearyingly frequently necessary reminder that "social darwinism" or anything else that equates notions of intelligence with "fitness to live" is just ableist eugenicist bullshit derived from a fascist-minded misapplication of darwinism, no matter how clever and snarky and cool you think you're being

Istg the best way to make sure I never ever ever watch or read or play your creation for even a moment is to market it with plagiarism goo I dnf'd Secret Invasion after like one episode, and it wasn't because it sucked (and it did suck, so very, very much)

Brb, inventing folks etymologies for vintage mech anime titles ("No, really, the original spelling was "Ma×+")

Still holding out for replacing this busted COVID-riddled pos body with a shiny metal one call it rapid onset bender dysphoria

There are words to be reclaimed and there are words to be embraced and then there is the r-slur which is to be seared from the brains of every human on Earth

…But if you haven't already, we gotta start now.

…& to keep fighting back against it as hard & w/ as many other people as we can, to deny this technosocial regime purchase… in all the ways that can mean. We fight against this deeply harmful vision of "AI" in the classrooms, living rooms, the streets, & then in the legislatures & the boardrooms.

(Person new to the Internet reads entire Wikipedia article on NAFO) I say, these chaps are alright, no problems detected (Same person creates a Bluesky account and reads replies from accounts with NAFO in profile) i think Wikipedia might be broken

hey @bsky.app fix this

Ok, the other thing I've learned is that when we win, we have to avoid the temptation towards half-measures to find normalcy. We have to have the willpower to stomp out the vile cancer that has lurked in the United States since its conception. It's time to stop fighting the Civil War.

"How dare you say that you'll stop watching my stream if you get served an ICE ad?" I mean, I really don't know what to tell you, friend. That is simply what I will do. This is how things are. What other people do is up to them, but this is what I will be doing, going forward.

Please understand that if you air even a single ICE ad on your program, on your podcast, on your stream, you will never, for the rest of your mortal life, receive another dollar or another second of attention from me, or from millions of others. I promise you, it is financial suicide.

I mean, asking @aaron.bsky.team to lift a finger to help a trans person caught by Bluesky's dogshit autosuspend algorithm presumes that Aaron didn't just do suspend her himself

Oh is @aaron.bsky.team, head ot @safety.bsky.app doing his shitty transphobic bit in between defending pedophilia advocates again Fuckin joke

hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner

Everyone paying attention as ChatGPT gains traction

Swallowed back from the inside

This is incredible news. I can’t wait to wave this paper at every doctor who told me to “try harder” and to “want to get better.”

DECODE ME has published its results. Massive congratulations to @cgatist.bsky.social and team in Edinburgh. Let’s hope this is the start of a paradigm shift in how we view, research and treat this dreadful illness. www.decodeme.org.uk/initial-dna-...

Trying to imagine what a culture of consent would look like

Hmmmmmm is that a whiff of Bluesky admin fuckery in the air

Estrogen Communism Survive

My writer's block is nearly always "I have no idea what I'm doing and am not sufficiently hyperfocused and overstimmed to fail to realize that and just vomit words anyway"

My friend's dad died in France in the same farm house where he was born. In Germany.

Hey @tayatranscends.bsky.social I have a great idea, how many folks you think we could get to crowdfund an alpha BL

Yes, with zero irony and only a modicum of nuance
