Who is actually under the latex mask?

When I was at uni, a guy in a pirate costume doing a stupid pirate voice ran for student union president. At all the debates, he ran rings around the other candidates. All his daft jokes were clearly based on an intricate knowledge of the real issues on campus. He won with a massive landslide.

It is undeniably funny that Chris Rufo - whose whole career is based on the idea that identity politics is so bad that its fine to ruin people's lives over it - is unhappy that Mamdani is not adequately appreciative of his identity

another example of how fascists blame individuals for systemic issues.

it turns out there are dozens if not thousands of games out there that will present information to you via the screen and ask you to process said information in order to make an informed decision on which button to press

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

One of my super random society ideas that this sort of reminded me of is it'd be cool if we had like community self hosting services, like a library that just like runs nextcloud instances so you don't have to use Google Drive. That'd be neat. In the meantime I guess find a local linuxy trans girl

good morning

early on in my transition before there were any noticable changes from HRT, i explained to one of my gamer friends that being on estrogen felt like getting the right drivers installed on a gaming PC. it actually made him understand super well and he said it was a good metaphor

Also, a lot of regular recipes can be adapted to be vegan without issues. Below I will attach some images of vegan food I have made over the past year, from sushi to pizza.

Wow cool it seems like when we said “humans are among the least sexually dimorphic of any animals and the differences we have can be altered by hormones and surgery” it was FUCKING CORRECT.

My friend is dead. A driver, through neglect, recklessness or malice, has killed Louisa. I’m beside myself with grief and filled with righteous anger at a city that has stalled and slow-walked safety improvements for all road users. Louisa should be here with us.

Seita Inoue, the art director of the Splatoon series, tells players that they'll not only need to have played the first 3 titles to fully enjoy Splatoon Raiders, but also to have 100% completed Open Season on Gamecube to understand all of the references in the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 game.

It's long past time to make the point that "tough on crime" is horseshit; what we need is *strong on safety*.

When I say "safety" and "holistic treatment" I mean the whole damn kitchen sink. Violence interrupters and social workers as first responders. Housing-first approaches to homelessness. Free education. Universal healthcare with accessible and effective mental health services and physiatry.

Rape apologist freak behavior. I do not give a fuck about whether this rapist's eternal soul is redeemable or whatever obfuscative blather these propagandists are on about. They wanted to elect an avatar for their misogynistic politics and will contort themselves endlessly to dodge accountability.
