If he doesn't do this shit now he'll just do it on a whim later. There is no reason to bargain with someone negotiating in bad faith

Darmok, his years long.

Californians: do it

My ask for any dem platform is to repeal the Hague Invasion Act and sign on to the ICC so that people who discuss their love of war crimes ON CAMERA can be prosecuted in the appropriate forum.

Let’s watch Superman again

We need a bigger tent, that’s why we must betray and expel the following types of people:

absolutely insane a social media app would be asking for users to upload their IDs to see 'adult content'. If that shit ever manages to reach where I am, i will no longer be using this app. If you're in affected areas that demand this, leave @bsky.app a bad review- this is a total breach of privacy

why not opt-in? just ask permission first if this is truly a positive feature then surely copyright holders will be happy to participate and have their work included if asked just ask permission first

Says a lot about the state of popular science reporting that some techbro doofus can pretend he's going to be immortal and that will grab more headlines than "Hey we have a gene therapy that slows the advance of Huntington's by 75%," or "We gengineered a pothos into a living air purifier."

We found (or rather, conclusively identified via a wonderfully strange new method) some Denisovan skulls, recently. We did that. Did you know that? Did popular news even tell you? Or were they too busy with some other balloon juice techbro horseshit designed to give shareholders boners?

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Me be like

The way this ghoul can just casually talk about spending hundreds of billions of dollars like that couldn't solve so many world problems. Even fixing World Hunger is estimated to cost 30-50 billion a year. For THE ENTIRE GLOBE.

the entire world should be openly hostile to benjamin netanyahu at this moment

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Them: So what have y'all been up to? Me: Haha, you know. The usual. The Usual:

I've done thirteen hundred wordles as of today. If you asked me when it was introduced I'd instinctively say a couple years ago but that math doesn't add up does it… Wordle 1,559 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜🟨🟩 ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩 🟩🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Elon and the feral crypto children who implemented his agenda should be held personally liable for this to the tune of tens of billions of dollars appropriate his fortune and give it back to all the people he aggressively fucked over

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

Tired of sending your money to studios, networks, and streaming giants who cave to fascists? Watch and support TTRPG actual plays, especially those creating stories that move, comfort, and inspire us

Finally. Never again will I find myself unarmed, trapped in my vehicle as a deranged killer in a skin mask tears at my passenger door, because I can just deliberately overheat my car and destroy that fucker’s shins.

Just sent bluesky a strongly worded note on their upcoming censorship policy. Easy to do! There’s a “Feedback” button at the bottom of your sidebar.

Have you left a review on your app store? Because you should! #bskycensorship

I tell you, for the longest time I was like “what does NDN stand for in the context of Native Americans?” and I literally just figured out that it’s “Indian” if you say the letters.

The greatest minds of the right wing intellectual dark web think tank cannot -- or won't -- distinguish between "comic gets yelled at in comedy club for telling shitty joke about trans people" and "federal government forces corporation to pull comedian off the air for mocking President"

Thanks, @silvaniart.bsky.social! My copy of Pirates arriving is a delightful surprise in this SWELTERING GODDAMN HEAT

Somewhere out there there’s gotta be a Friendly Local Game Store called “The Jungle” with the tagline “We’ve Got Fun & Games,” right?

Everyone could use a reminder that the idea behind our system of government is that we cede some of our power to it in exchange for it working on our behalf. When it stops doing that it becomes illegitimate and must be changed. The idea that the people can "betray" a government organ is perverse

The ice cream truck haunts me like a phantom on the wind…

I’m getting to the point where I actually have to start sending out my novel which is…terrifying. Like, I want to have some short stories or something under me first, but that’s going nowhere fast.

This is one of the best pilots I've ever seen, can't eloquently put into words how much I loved it.

The debate around what is or isn’t “cancel culture” really just obscures a simple truth that it’s BAD to be massively racist/sexist/homophobic/transphobic and it’s GOOD to speak out against injustice. Some things are good and some things are bad and it’s okay to say which you think are which.

It is fucked up what they did to the headphone jack

Are people really still arguing about RSVPing to protests?? What’s even the point? The protest is not going to provide you with a fish dinner!

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

I like how in speculations on the new #CriticalRole campaign, people are noticing that Liam’s character has the same name as the NPC about to be executed, and they’re noticing that on the whiteboard he’s labeled “Brother”… But everyone’s assuming he’s *Aabria’s* sibling. #CriticalRoleSpoilers #CR4

you can't excise trans people from society because transness is an emergent property of free will. if you divide the world up into men and women and say men do this and women do that, some people are going to say that sucks, fuck you, i do what i want. it doesn't get more complicated than that

A big problem with US conservatives is that they view people disagreeing with them as an attack — but they view them actually attacking people as “a disagreement.”

“His father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate was trans!”

Claiming that routine immunization requirements for school are an issue of parental rights dehumanizes children. Kids have intrinsic rights just as anyone, and parents are obligated to provide the best care possible for them. That includes providing them with indicated medical interventions.

shoutout to tumblr user kleinergeist for this post which is going straight into my powerpoint for Grendel day in my monster class this week

Imagine if they do the “Superman and Batman look enough alike to pass for each other” thing and Bruce is just ALSO played by David Corenswet…

Ruin a song by adding "literally" to the title: Stop Literally Draggin’ My Heart Around

Just don't post. Don't feel the need to weigh in on every issue all the time. Sometimes other people have said it better. Don't force yourself to chase trends, news, events, drama, and definitely don't feel like you have to be involved in everything that happens.

new addition to my favorite tumblr posts as of this week
