bluesky devs wanting to make twitter-reddit linkedin but getting mad about getting e621 and deviantart instead will never stop being funny to me shoutout unmarketable queers and kink artists keep doing good work

LB im so terrified all the time but history shows us it is absolutely possible to survive this. its a cold comfort but it is comfort all the same

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

Happy 3-year anniversary to Don't Play Defense #Art #Pride

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

Do I condemn the Charlie Kirk shooting? I condemn Charlie for his structurally violent, anti-social politics. I condemn Charlie Kirk for his efforts to bring about an oppressive, fascist political system. If you want to condemn the shooting, that's fine, but you must condemn Kirk 100 times over.

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!" just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement it's 95% now you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

Shoutouts to those of us working service, retail, call center, warehouse, etc. We exist too. You just might not see us as much because we can’t afford shit as the bottom falls out

The way the violence/non-violence, armed/unarmed questions are often framed is irrelevant and misses the point. Every movement that has ever gotten anywhere has to grapple seriously with the use of force and figure out ways to face it AND any push for liberation collapses if relying on force alone

ME: *writing in my journal with the sole aim of pissing off future historians and archaeologists* I returned to my home - which is built in the usual style - by the normal way, and prepared and ate dinner in the way I often but not always do

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

was at the @clppng.bsky.social show last night and brought my nintendo 2ds which led to probably the worst concert footage out there

Gonna do a little thread of how good this @clppng.bsky.social concert was

If @clppng.bsky.social is playing near you on this tour, you should go solely to watch Counterfeit Madison just fucking vibe the entire second half of their set.

Stripe says it’s accepting payments for LGBTQ content JVA site starts working with Visa again Mastercard reportedly panicking and making Riot moderate messages The tide is turning We are going to win this Keep calling Keep writing Keep fighting You can do this

"homestuck cartoon adaptation pilot announced from the vivziepop studio and john is being played by toby fox" is the most insane possible news to wake up to. what the fuck is going on. what year is it

As expected seeing ppl backpedaling on the itch thing now that there's a list of the unacceptable content and it includes stuff that's "too gross" It's all of us or none of us. Our enemies have made that clear. I would rather work side by side with a freak than with a fascist.

oh no oops i dropped this

I support incest games. I support non-con and violent games. I support the right for games with fictionalized abuse of -any- form to exist. the fundamental line in the sand is, "was another, real human being, harmed/abused/had their consent violated"? if that box isnt checked, then i dont care.

I can't believe this is relevant now

LB not to say there are no valid criticisms of how itch has handled this but like. come on

if you're looking at what's going on and concluding that the enemy is the <10 employee marketplace and not the $1.2t payment processors then you are, at best, extremely credulous and should rethink your priorities

Maybe we could find out. Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372 Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

this stuff is concerning on its own merits, but i think it's also pretty alarming how direct of an analogue this almost reflexively-anti-male stuff has in historical radical feminism, and particularly the type of radical feminism that became virulently anti-trans

a lot of trans spaces are, honestly, just very fucking weird about being male in both directions—that is, they seem to treat either being "socialized" as a male or transitioning into a male as The Worst Thing That Can Ever Happen To You

Queer people, immigrants, Palestinians deserve to live free, safe, happy lives.

hi please don't share images or videos of identifiable protestors thank you

I think we need to de-Chris-Chan-ize the internet. No I don’t give a fuck what this random person y’all have decided to stalk is up to, and it’s really weird that you do. “New Chris Chan lore dropped!” Who the hell cares? Their life isn’t for your entertainment you pathetic waste of cum.

the hong kong protestors used the phrase "do not split" to mean that the radical protest and peaceful protest arms of the movement should refuse to criticize each other.

coming back from my little break for a sec because ITS PRIDE MONTH BABY 👑🎷🐇💯🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️👬🌼🌈

happy pride remember that Ace people are part of the squad too

It's Pride month. As a trans woman I would like to ask that people who want to support us in some way or another also use that energy to give direct financial support to the people of Gaza who are surviving a genocide. Food & aide are being withheld and are exorbitantly expensive. Please help them.

"bluesky is dying" Good.

You can find a handy, gender-agnostic alternative to "my brother in Christ" by swapping it out for "my comrade in arms."

I am just going to repeat my call to do what we did at Failbetter: if you have a game with a community that heavily relies on a wiki, find a way to self-host that wiki or get them on wiki.gg It'll be a better experience for your players and you'll get to take money out of the pocket of Fandom

On this day 80 years ago, Benito Mussolini was executed by an Italian partisan in Giulino di Mezzegra, then hung from the Piazzale Loreto in Milan the following day. Happy Mussolini Execution Day to all who celebrate.

"I just love all of the old cobbled streets in European cities."

participating in an organized boycott – not a haphazard, individual one – of a company as large as microsoft will always pose complex questions on a long enough timescale. but skipping the oblivion remaster weeks after bds declared microsoft a priority target? easy. a complete no brainer

SEPTA's proposed service cuts “would effectively kill public transit in our region, and the ensuing damage to our riders, our economy, our healthcare system, our road congestion, and air quality is incalculable,” the Transit for All PA! coalition said.

"You have to throw trans people under the bus to win elections as a Democrat, trans political ads work, the public is reacting to trans people poorly" Meanwhile in Wisconsin after tens of millions in anti-trans ads against WI-SC candidate who did not flinch:

We need every branded account to start developing crass strategies for bullying Elon Musk for easy clout. Chum the water. I don’t approve of brands but if the Charmin account tells him to put a gun in his mouth and that’s the thing that does it I’m exclusively buying that toilet paper for life.
