I saw terrain at the first 40k function I attended that was the destroyed remains of plantation houses with a little sign that said something like 'the only heresy is a desire to return' and I cannot tell you how much I wish I'd taken a photo
It’s only been an hour since launch and @flushes.app has already raised $250 out of my $1,000 goal for trans youth via The Trevor Project! 🏳️⚧️🧻 Thanks so much to everyone who has reshared, flushed, and donated so far! Would love to be able to hit the goal in the first 24 hours: flushes.app
dame@dame.is · yesterdayA year ago I created a silly app called @flushes.app. It was one of my first Atmosphere projects and had lots of rough edges. Today I'm excited to share a total redesign/overhaul of the app along with a fundraiser for @trevorproject.bsky.social! Please share and consider donating! 🤍 flushes.app
forced to decide right now it's probably The Silmarillion but it could be The Wasp Factory or The Forever War or Catch-22 or Slaughterhouse Five or (roll twice on the Random Heinlein Table and flip a coin) or There Is No Antimemetics Division or

once again too busy drinking on the balcony to make dinner huh I guess it could wait
i think it’s good to scan books for any reason and if you’re mad that copyright law encourages the book to be destroyed afterwards you should be mad at copyright law
authentic only to my taste memory of 2000s-ish instant rice vermicelli packs. no reason for gochujang, lao gan ma, and fish sauce to actually taste coherent together but they kinda do here, and with protein ready this takes about ten minutes 🍽️🍜
co-sign with the addition of (c) much of the trans panic enables a misogynistic urge to police how women are allowed to look and behave, defining us as child-bearers above all else. I think that’s bad!
Max Dubler 🏳️🌈@maxdubler.com · 7d agoSquishiness on trans rights is a dealbreaker for me because (a) it’s a straightforward issue of personal freedom and bodily autonomy much like abortion, and (b) the right is obviously coming after us cis gays next.
