I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

I wish it were more broadly understood that Trump constantly and explicitly holds up his naked corruption *as a badge of honor* that his supporters are supposed to thrill to (and see benefit for themselves in). He thinks corruption is the highest form of winning.

During COVID, same-sex couples in Japan were denied access to hospitalized partners because they weren't "legal family." They were barred from ICUs, kept off ambulances, and a lesbian couple was turned away from maternity services at two Tokyo-area hospitals.

Oakland libraries are offering free lunch everyday from June 1 - August 7 for kids ages 0-18!! We love how good our libraries care for our community 🖤

Kathryn made me see it, so now I'm sharing

More female protagonists who are not white, plz. Or trans protagonists of any ethnicity/gender! Actually yeah, if you want your White Guy(esp with Brown Hair) protagonist, make him trans. Then it will be fine.

This is like the exact arguments I used to have with conservative "friends" back in the pre-2016 era when I still thought there was any point in having those arguments. Every frikkin time it would come back to some bluster about "personal responsibility" and how the needy hadn't "earned" such aid.

This whole thread. Even if you think that USAID was bad (and there are real and legitimate critiques), withdrawing USAID without an alternative or a plan is just straight-up murder.

No author worth reading uses AI.

Going to be fully transparent that this is critical to me keeping my housing. I feel like asking for mutual aid to the tune of $2,500 is a lot, but I’m in a real emergency and I’ve exhausted a lot of other avenues in my region and city. Things are desperate right now: that’s why I’m asking for help.

An actual, real letter the US government sent a gay couple in the 1970s:

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms. ‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms. But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…

I'll stop getting mad at people asking "why can't men crossdress?" about a fictional or real trans woman when it stops fucking happening. Sincerely, a trans woman whose family asked her "why can't you just be a feminine man?"

Happy Juneteenth! It costs 0$ to repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. I sell pins, compression gloves, artist gloves, back braces, knee braces, wrist braces, compression socks, cute bags & more! Store: Bibipins.com

'Went twice' lol

And it's why the biggest internet safety advice I give parents of teenagers is to make crystal clear that they will never blame their kid for being the victim, because that is the ONLY way they will ever know there's a problem. bsky.app/profile/raha...

I bounced off of Eva pretty hard, so I'm not entirely sure how I should feel about having Kaworu as my closest match? I do feel pretty good about having Gendo as my lowest tho. Fuck that guy.

You'd be surprised the kind of results you can get by just giving an exhausted "Really? You're really gonna just say that?" to another white person. Condescension is one of the best tools to employ against bigots. Hit them right in the pride and make them refocus onto you.

under no circumstances do you have to hand it to mitch mcconnell are you joking?

the only way, the ONLY way, we can become who we truly are is to let go of who we thought we were, or would be, to find the truth that lies inside and if i can do it, you can too 🩷

I've posted it before but dammit it was the trickiest commission of my career and I'm really proud of it

the lesbian population is doomed

"You are allowed to choose yourself. Your needs don't always have to be the least important."

"Read your work out loud" is good advice, but to make it fun, do it in a silly accent! I read all my essay/nonfiction in an outrageous French accent imitating John Cleese saying "Fetchez la vache." Or I imitate Walter Mathau imitating Eleanor Roosevelt. #SpoonieAuthChat

My Debut is in 4 days!!!

So to preface this reskeet: it has already sold. But still, check out this cool cactus wallet!

happy Pride Eve to all the people who are about to paraphrase this tweet from 2022 or repost it with my name removed as if it’s a thought they just had themselves

Okay so the article, by @oyousef.bsky.social, is actually fantastic and is actually about the very phenomenon that I presumed it was ignorant of when I caustically tossed off my irritated comment, that’s on me

I loathe that I understand all three of those people enough to make perfect sense of this. I wish them all a speedy, one-way trip to cultural irrelevancy.

"This isn't me being gay." **Statement book-ended by some of the gayest comments you've ever heard**

Someone said this last night, but if you look in the threads about "vibescession" the main thing people are talking about is the constant precarity. So what would happen if one wage-earner in your house got cancer and couldn't work?

Semiotic anthropologist here w/alt-text! As I tell students & everyone who will listen: One of the great lessons of anthropology is that we built this. All of it. And we choose throughout our days how we will continue or change the world we have built. We can & must build differently.

I don't usually like being Serious on here but. I've said it before and I'll say it again trans women saved my life and I am not gonna put up with transmisogyny. You mess with trans women you mess with all five foot two inches of me

“The project records oral histories, songs, and techniques, centering community voices and asserting the Pilru as a living practice, rather than a passing trend.”

#AwesomeCharacters The fun thing about these dumb PoV characters is that their willingness to throw hands is predicated entirely on threats to THEMSELVES. You threaten someone they love and they all drop to 1. That’s Wielders for you though, magically empowered, armed, and blessed with 0 chill.

#AwesomeCharacters Gabe: 6-7. He’s got a spine but at least at the start he’s slow to escalate. Claire: 3-4. She’s quick to throw hands. Heart: 8-9. Slow to violence but willing when it happens. Agnes: 2-3, but this is only when her charges are threatened. Michael: **SOUND OF CAR-CRASH**

the puritans really were like "Yeah, well, I'm gonna go build a new England, with absolute no blackjack and hookers!"

"someone modded bubsy 4d to make bubsy a goth trans girl and or femboy within 24h of release" is one of those things that makes almost too MUCH sense. no one loves awful 90s platformers more than genderqueer nerds

they’re shooting crowd control munitions at crowds that include multiple members of congress, the governor, and a sitting united states senator. they fired pepper balls at the senator. they cannot and will not be reigned in by democracy, whatever’s left of it.

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.
