Kinda frustrating still seeing people spout "it's Twitter not X!!!!" because like.... no, it really isn't anymore It's a site run by a Nazi and you're still hanging around there with the pathetic excuse of "it's still Twitter to me!!!!"

I miss the feeling of having a cat hanging out with me

"m/f is only good when it's t4t" "I like this ship but only when it's bi4bi" "she has to be pegging him" gently holds your hand. you do not need to qualify the things you like to justify liking them

by all means be critical of heteronormativity in media. examine what you like and why. I just don't think fandom spaces should operate within a framework that necessitates "proving" the validity of one's opinion based on arbitrary rules

Reform's former Leader in Wales, Nathan Gill, a 10.5 year jail term for taking bribes from the Kremlin. Cosied up to authoritarian powers & traded principles for payoffs. Reform's leadership laughably claimed they barely knew Gill. Will all this be on tomorrow's front pages?

me: i don’t feel safe with other people. like, any praise in general my brain dismisses it Therapist Who is a Caveman: me see. you am deserve love. we all am. yes. need love survive me: i guess. it’s just hard trying to function when you still got your training wheels on Caveman Therapist: wheel?

Elon Musk is very explicitly altering the X algorithm to show people content that aligns with his far-right worldview. If you're still posting there and think you can win hearts and minds or something, this is what you're up against. You're never going to win a rigged game.

It's starting to feel like a "fuck it" and he's just getting paid a lot by lobbyists to force more anti-refugee, anti-trans rhetoric before his political career goes down the toilet lol

Being ill sucks but at least it wakes me up for sunrise hours

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

ppl are way too obsessed with individualism and then become overly nihilistic when they find out just how insignificant they are in the grand scheme of things like yeah man maybe that should encourage you to be more cooperative and empathetic in solving problems

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

🔴 BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike has killed 11 people and injured 4 in the Palestinian refugee camp of Ain al-Helweh in Saida. Lebanon’s Ministry of Health, which reported the death toll, called it “the bloodiest massacre since the announcement of the ceasefire." The Israeli army's Arabic...

The "Frieren angle" thing, apart from just being delightful, also completely demolishes the pathetic "AI is democratising art" argument. Someone struggling with a difficult drawing received advice from hundreds of strangers who just wanted to help them improve their art.

"A quick Nier analysis!" *video is 7 hours long* "There's a Drakenguard analysis you can watch beforehand too!" *4 hour long video* Nier fans are insane...... (the good kind)

Worst part of being ill: the giant, stubborn chunk of phlegm that woN'T FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE

My bf just sent me this..... (He's Turkish)

The worst thing AI has done to culture in just a couple years is not that people think AI generated things are real, but that they now think real things are AI generated

I'm too ill to do anything but rot in bed So does anyone have any watch recommendations to distract me......

Important reporting from Sky News on how Israel is deliberately exposing displaced Palestinian families to freezing conditions by blocking a warehouse full of shelter materials — and on how Israeli authorities are obstructing medical equipment, including prosthetics and wheelchairs, from reaching...

every author in the class action, please file the claim.

America's first ever esports champion was Rebecca Heineman, a trans woman. She went on to found some of your favorite video game studios and worked on your favorite video games. Next time you see somebody rail about 'woke' and 'DEI' Remember that. Remember her.

What's up with this trend in millenial youtubers shit talking gen Z like baby boomers and gen X did to them.....

-quick shiemi in my au #BlueExorcist #AoNoExorcist #AOEX #ShiemiMoriyama

lrp unfortunately that's why I had to stop playing the aoex game 😔 I'll find out secondhand about any cool Shiemi and rinshi lore... I just reaaallllyyy hate gatcha game mechanics and it feels like a chore once the initial rose tint falls off

Being ill makes me sooooo huunnNNGGRRRRRYYYYY

Average Bluesky art community experience

A good reminder that danmei might be really cool in the surface, but it's absolute hell for the authors.

It's just sad and gut-wrenching.

At least being ill gives me an excuse to crack out my nice teapot and tea cozy to make lemon and ginger tea

Anyway hi I can't sleep so I'm lying in bed overthinking things again :^)

I do think some people would feel better if they just admitted they didn't like their favourite piece of fiction anymore

"one day, when it's safe, when there's no personal downside to calling a thing what it is, when it's too late to hold anyone accountable, everyone will have always been against this"

loooolll in my first interview getting the job *wasn't* reliant on working christmas but *now* suddenly it is an important factor in his decision alrighty cool the manager is a liar for no reason I guess

in case anyone else feels bad for blocking/unfollowing people, this is a reminder that these are tools meant to help filter feeds so users can avoid certain topics/people/themes etc. someone can still be cool with you and have you unfollowed/blocked on social media. it’s not always a personal attack

It's kinda like if you were born intuitively feeling like the A button should be on the right, X should be up, B down, etc. but life hands you an Xbox controller and everyone gets super weird the moment you ask about button remapping.

I think I am subconciously very nervous about this job and its causing me to not sleep aaaaaaaaaa

I think so much kindness isn’t just intentional acts of kindness, but also the unintentional kind. The ‘I remembered you’ kind. The ‘you can come back when you’re ready, you’ll still have a place with us here’ kind. The ‘we expect nothing of you but just your presence, thank you for being here’ kind

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Reading these new Epstein emails and god Andrew is so pathetic....

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

They always go "[insert group of people] should create their own thing" and then when those people /do/ make their own thing, they get mad. I can't imagine how annoying and exhausting that must be for a lot of creators.

I love Kato but god am I kinda glad the fandom is small The emotional subtleties she's packed into this story is already too much for some of the people we have hanging around now
