“You have to return to working in an office that’ll kill your productivity and mental health so we can also continuously infect you with a virus that destroys your body a little more every time. Why? Because ✨water cooler conversations✨ and ✨culture✨”

I got covid 2 years ago and a long covid symptom I’ve been suffering from since then is that I break out in full body hives any time my body temperature rises too much and it fucking SUCKS

Their feelings are very delicate

My friends and loved ones don’t need to be cured of being themselves.

trans people aren't terrorists we're disenfranchised shitposters, artists, and the backbone of every community you're in

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

You are not Making a Difference there. You are not Fighting the Good Fight. You are not even Maintaining a Community you couldn't easily replicate elsewhere. You are propping up a right-wing site and, worse, you are being warped by your constant exposure to it and you don't even realize it. Leave.

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

Man, sometimes I just want to reach back in time and tell lil baby Xib “don’t worry, someday you’re going to have a rock solid support network of friends, family and colleagues who love and support you”. Feeling lots of gratitude and love lately 💖

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered. And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me. His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

Black trauma is the US norm and after today it’s more than obvious that no one but us sees it, hears it, or cares about it or us regardless of how far and how regularly we fight against it. The US has effectively told us that they’re done and we do not matter. But they’ve always told us that, tbh.

THERE'S TWENTY ONE THIS TIME!?!?!?

Oregon governor Tina Kotek, a gay woman, is ordering flags to be flown at half-staff to honor a podcaster who said gay people should be stoned to death.

you should buy your trans friends coffee or something today

Nice 😎🤘 I think this is the first “kys fag” I’ve gotten since my overwatch days lmao

Seattle City Council voted 7–2 to expand police surveillance cameras to Capitol Hill, SoDo, and Garfield High School. Civil rights groups and 17 state legislators warned this hands Trump’s feds a tool to track immigrants, queer people, abortion seekers, and activists.

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Without comment:

“So what if he disagreed with you, he didn’t deserve to die” But he thought I did. This isn’t disagreement. It’s someone who was not only opposed to my existence but was called a good and faithful servant by the church for doing it. I don’t have to mourn that. And asking me to is violence too.

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

I would like to take this opportunity to remember Melissa Hortman, a serving Democratic politician assasinated by a right-winger.

Three people were critically wounded in a shooting at a suburban Denver high school, authorities say.

sorry, it's just like, he was such a heartless proponent of gun violence and harassing victims, he would laugh openly at people who were victims or who tried to enact change, he's just a misogynist, virulently racist far right christo-fascist white supremacist. I have no compassion left

This is the line that Dems need to push. It can't be simply. "Political violence is bad" it MUST be "Political violence is bad and Trump and his ilk are responsible for creating conditions ripe for political violence"

You are under no obligation to mourn the death of people who would’ve celebrated yours.

Hey, a fun thing to do today is support some awesome trans and non-binary creators! 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

No one *expects* anything he says to be true. This is one of fascism's objectives—to make the truth irrelevant. His lies spin up a violent storyline that people either willingly inhabit or are trapped by. It's fiction with real-world consequences.

Are there any like, remote game jams for people who are tired and working that last a few weeks and are meant to be done over several weekends. I wanna jam and make some fun lil games but I also am Le Tired and I don’t leave my house

Me, a grizzled Hollywood screenwriter, taking a long drag of my cigarette what the fuck is a Jira and why do these assholes want me to write “barks”

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

Maaaan I LOVE graffiti. I really wish it were less stigmatized in society. I feel like the human instinct to look at a blank, empty wall and go “there should be art there” should be embraced and encouraged!

Guess who spent all of yesterday thinking it was Sunday and just went to work this morning thinking it was Monday. Being sick really fucked up my brain 😭😭😭

It frankly boggles my mind that we have invented a computer that cannot do math.

like the overwatch and world of warcraft teams before them, over 450 diablo devs have voted to unionize. last year's mass microsoft layoffs convinced them to start organizing, but this year's kicked things into high gear

"I am not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, because people have already done that. I am here to be rude, because this is a rude technology, and it deserves a rude response." anthonymoser.github.io/writing/ai/h...

"By contrast, in 2025 thus far, Bluesky has driven "a hundred times as many page views" to Southern Fried Science as Twitter." arstechnica.com/science/2025...

Huge, HUGE trigger warning. This is one of the many reasons why shoving chatGPT into everything is so fucking harmful, can we PLEASE stop and get some damn regulation already

Seattle Gamedevs! Let's do a COVID-safe (outdoors, masks encouraged) meetup next Tuesday, Aug 26th at 6pm at Tailwind Cafe in Capitol Hill! Tailwind closes at 7 but there are nearby places to grab food\drinks and bring to the courtyard. Public transit encouraged!

I used to be camp “this meeting could have been an email” except that 90% of the time the people who complain about meetings are the same people who DON’T READ THEIR FUCKING EMAILS.

Every professional I know agrees: “I wish shared office environments sucked even worse. I wish I had to yell at my computer to get it to do anything, and all my coworkers had to hear me do it”
