Shit is fucking bad rn, but remember that stuff happens regardless of if you see it or not, and taking time away from the depressing news cycle is self-care. It's not our job to care so much about everything all the time, and trying to do so will kill you. Take time for yourself, the news can wait.

none of this is legal. none of this is normal. feel free to tell anyone who says otherwise to fuck off.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Expect to see a lot of this classic Onion headline, from 23 years ago, over the coming weeks.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Well, that was a fast season for me. Cut from ATO for preseason cuts sake, which is not at all a fault of ATO. I definitely didn't play well and frankly I haven't for a while. I'm gonna abstain from being picked up for the main season, and either gonna finish out the EPE season or (1/2)

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Fuck that punchline is really sharp and good

Go make close friendships with more cis people, and give them a reason to be more dedicated allies. Let them truly get to know you, and get to know them. Be empathetic, and compassionate and patient, and understanding, and show these people how sweet a transgender mf can be. We have to show up in-

On Sept. 15, Israeli forces fired on a clearly marked MSF water truck delivering 10,000 litres in #Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan. Destroying infrastructure while making humanitarian aid nearly impossible is not just cruel, it’s illegal.

Times are scary right now, but please remember we’re not alone in this. Organize and try to educate those around you who are willing to listen. Get outside and spend time with other trans/queer people. I struggle to keep myself grounded and out of my head, if you’re like me, please don’t isolate 💜

Quick state of cs update for me: CSC is gonna be rough this season, I won't lie. I'm not confident in myself after being passed for promotion to prospect, and a good majority of the people I've come to know aren't in recruit in one capacity or another. On top of that, family events may limit (1/?)

For just a second I forgot politics existed and thought someone was shit talking former Brazilian superteam player TACO 😭

THIS IS THE PERSON THAT DID MY PFP LIKE MOST PLACES LOVE THEM PAY THEM COMMISSION THEM YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO

Smol vent: why tf can I be charged 9.5 grand for something I was promised a scholarship for, but was failed to be fully informed on the clauses that got me unfairly removed from the program. Tell me how tf that's fair to do to someone fresh out of high school with zero life experience.

Unfortunately, those who watched the last match may have an idea of what's coming. We're out of the S17 Recruit playoffs. I'm just so disappointed. I feel like I'm so much more capable than making it to playoffs top seed and losing out, and yet it happened twice. I'm taking a big step back.

Just found out this is getting streamed! twitch.tv/csconfederation in t-minus 2 hours(?)

GIVE ME YOUR ENERGY!!!! Tonight starts our playoffs run against one of the only 3 teams to beat us in the main season, FRG! They're a very scary, puggy team, but hopefully our strats and aim can outduel them tonight! Pictured is the full bracket, and if we lose tonight we're not totally out!

We're off to a beautiful start with the filename chosen by the community for our Majora's Mask run. Let's go grab some masks with thesausage! #SGDQ2025

Sorry for no update last MD, we took a hard loss to ATO, but we're locked into playoffs as the #2 seed with our win over dB! Strong way to close the main season, and I'm gonna do my best in the playoffs :3

unfortunately me

With our 13-5 win over TEE, we're locked into a playoffs spot!!! I had a rough game, but when the rest of the team gets over 1.5 k/d, there's not many left for me to get. Still, goes to show that when you can do research on your opponents, it's worth it. My focus is now on the trophy 🏆

We won tonight's match 13-7 against the #1 team in the standings!!! The antistrat worked out well and it felt like everyone had a big moment, especially a nice dude named Endrz dropping 24 on half and 30 in fulltime I mean damn. Bringing this energy to the rest of the season. I highkey want #1 seed.

Tonight's match was against Gone Fishin's Guppies and we take the win 13-6!!! Feeling much better with all the practice I've put in recently, now I just gotta keep up the momentum! Thursday has no matches due to the Major, but I'm back at it next Tuesday vs All Good!

We lost to NAN tonight 13-4, I have no words, just I'm sorry. I gotta be better.

Tonights match vs ACA's The Dropouts is gonna be one to review, we lost 11 rounds straight on T side, only taking the last round for the half. We mounted an impressive comeback to win 13-11, but still it shouldn't have gotten that close for us. Regardless, that puts us at 2-1 and in 5th overall.

We lose vs FRG 16-12, I can't be having games like that. At least it's early in the season so things can be fixed in time for playoffs. I just can't be missing the shots I am. There were a few rounds that depended on me hitting and I couldn't. Still, going to try and get better. We play ACA on Tue.

Md1 in the books and a 13-10 win for our first game!! GGs to GRN for the tight game, and we take on the Tadpole Titans (FRG) for MD2 on Thursday!!!

This is still happening, but I was mistaken on the time for pacific time, the correct time is 7pm tonight.

Great thread. Learn how to more accurately identify undercover threats at protests and anti-arrest actions. Be wary, but don't be scared.

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈❤️

MATCHDAY 1!!! LETS FUCKING GOOOOO LIVE ON twitch.tv/gr1ff1n775 (pre-matchtime (10est/6pst) by like 15 minutes.) We, The Tofu Ticklers (COW) take on The Flytraps (GRN) tonight, looking to prove that we belong at the top like last season. I'll be live to show the bans and I hope to see y'all in chat.

Guys it's my gf's birthday please go tell her she's pretty thanks :3

ok so an important thing i really think people on bluesky need to hear about the anti-trans megabill the tl;dr is that you could actually turn the tide of trans rights in america right now but if you don’t act now, then we’re all cooked indefinitely please read on 🧵

sigh. you might want this

For those who don't follow CSC or just watch for my updates, S17 starts on June 3rd, with the preseason days starting on the 22nd. I've been resigned to COW for the season, and I'm hoping for a trophy this season. I'll be streaming the in-season games as usual at 6pm pst.
