Look, I appreciate this. TV needs more of this. Let’s have fun again. Seriously things are so bad in the industry and everywhere. Let’s all turn on stuff at night together and go “that was insane” and then surprise there are 20 more episodes and the characters don’t remember being in orbit.

Trans polycules are bringing back the nuclear family in a big way. They even have the dog.

normal person: i just want a place to hang out with my friends tech weirdo: and shitheads np: no just my friends tw: but what about hearing alternative views on race and gender? np: we just want to hang out and goof around tw: so where do the shitheads fit in then np: no shitheads tw: not following

According to Pete Walker, one of the key elements that distinguishes CPTSD from PTSD is the locus of control and blame. PTSD tends to be more externally-focused: there are threats outside. CPTSD tends to be internally-focused: I am in danger because *I am being/doing things wrong*.

I genuinely am shocked to think that there may be autistic people out in the world who *don't* have CPTSD because existing in our current society as autistic is so fundamentally traumatic

I have reinvented myself and my career multiple times since I turned 30, and I expect to do so again. Do not believe you can't radically revamp your life as you age. You can, and you will, and you must!

When I first learned about AI, I was sympathetic to the idea that if a being that plausibly could be sentient said it was sentient, you should believe it. Then I learned how LLMs worked. Gang, these things aren't conscious. "AI" is just a name chosen to make a faulty product seem important.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Life of a Showgirl: it's totally fine! Not great, but fine. I liked it more (at least at first listen) than Tortured Poets Department. Both records suffer from the same problem: she cannot live a normal life, and hasn't for many years. Being incredibly rich is the worst thing for an artist.

Like I've said, we have more support than they want us to believe.

This week: - 18 state attorneys general openly declared support for trans people, including a stunning rebuff for anti-trans talking points. - Kansas(!) is now letting trans people change gender markers. - The Dems DID NOT ( at least for now) cave on trans healthcare in the budget. WE CAN WIN

He's fine with censorship. He's happy to stay within the lines. He just thinks that he, a rich man, should be above any critique or criticism; Dave Chappelle will tolerate any amount of tyranny to avoid criticism.

Trump: we will do project 2025 Harris: he will do project 2025 Public: oh that’s bad Trump: I’m not gonna do it have never heard of it Harris: he’s still gonna do it Media: no one can predict the future 77 pinocchios

Our top story tonight: someone overheard two Oberlin freshmen saying Halloween is cultural appropriation. Has wokeness run amok on our college campuses? But first, on the lighter side, President Trump has once again threatened to "nuke the everloving shit" out of Portland. bsky.app/profile/nhan...

I say it all the time, but imma say it again: a lot of very book smart people lack the emotional education and communication skills that would allow them to generate the courage they want to embody in their work. They are incurious about their own emotional lives, and consequently, those of others.

MA'AM

If Jigsaw wanted to be fairer he should use a Crystal Maze system where you get to choose Physical, Mental, Skill or Mystery before he puts you in the trap

Does anyone in my circles have any expertise on Native American artifacts? I found this child-sized chair at an estate sale and I have no doubt that it's early 1800s at least but I'd be curious if anyone knows more!

After today's stunt, I hope everyone can see that fatphobia is part of the fascist project. If you are still out there giving "tough love" when it's none of your business or making fat jokes, you're part of the problem.

Trans joy is inherently linked to bodily autonomy and freedom of expression, intertwined with the idea that you can choose authenticity over being a good drone for neofeudalism. That's why fascists are so hell bent on silencing our joy, muting our voices, and stripping our access to public spaces.

This administration is like a campfire that's all kindling - it will burn hot and bright and then it will burn out for good. They haven't built a lasting fire here. They can't. And when the fire does burn out, it will expose all the collaborator dems and tech oligarchs, too.

if i were a would-be dictator whose only civilian check on power had been consumed by total-complete partisan loyalty, something i would definitely do is call an unprecedented in-person meeting of the only people who could stop me and then proceed to illustrate why they should stop me

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/ www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

I come across cool 90s and 00s stuff all the time at garage sales for a few bucks each. It's a fun treasure hunt, too! If you feel that ache, find a corner of your apartment and make a lil' nostalgia nook with things that give you joy. bsky.app/profile/cepm...

One of the things I take great pleasure in is that JK published her detective series under a false name because she was insecure about the idea that her literary work would stand on its own merits. And it didn't. They leaked her name to recoup their losses. I hope that haunts her every day.

I would like the centrists to find me ONE Republican voter who is eager to become a staunch supporter of the Democrats but only if they become slightly more racist and transphobic. It's INSANE that this is what the "smart thinkers" are all saying. These voters do not exist!! This is not a thing!!!

Capitalists are like "the free market operates rationally!!!" and then fire all the trans people who are doing twice the work for half the pay of everyone else because ::vibes::

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

If I were Wizards of the Coast and I had one of the very few brands to show robust success for 30+ years running, I'm not sure why I'd want to adopt the same exact business model as these guys. Guess that's why they make the big bucks and I never get called back for consulting work!

see how settled science suddenly gets turned into something unclear as soon as conservatives make it a political issue? this has happened on dozens of issues.

We're currently in an internet-wide moral panic around sex and particularly around kink. I am begging people to internalize that CNC stuff is most often just two consenting adults playing pretend together in healthy ways that can honestly help heal trauma! bsky.app/profile/sage...

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

OH SO THEY KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND DISINFORMATION WHEN IT DOESN'T INVOLVE TRANS PEOPLE bsky.app/profile/djla...

The rapture happens. God only takes people who are actually morally good. All the Evangelicals are stuck down here by themselves.

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

We're going to have to expel every single fascist from the entire government when this is over, even if some of them have lifetime appointments or whatever. Any Democrat who won't have the guts to do this isn't going to be a serious part of the solution, and will likely cause harm by dissenting.

Bro you can’t give up. You were born in a world that has onions AND garlic. You gotta hang in there it's worth it

Religion isn't the problem. Believing in something greater than yourself - whatever that is - is an essential part of life on this planet. The problem is when people outsource their morality to corrupt ideologies like evangelical Christianity. Religion isn't an excuse to be a piece of shit!

Autism is good, actually
