Bad pain day, so bad I can’t be bothered to meme about it I just hit repost.
I say "y'all" because I say y'all. It's not performative, it's communicative.
Jack Tindale@jacktindale.bsky.social · 3d agoMinor point but I really hate this performative “y’all” people do to try and appear more folksy. I don’t type in a Yorkshire accent and I did people would rightly tell me to shut up.
This is that ultimate reminder to queer folks that it doesn't matter how right wing you are. The Nazis will always see you as a faggot. The Nazis will always treat you like a faggot. Ernst Röhm was a good little gay Nazi and served Hitler till Hitler had him shot.

Should probably make a gfm for all the medical bullshit happening lately (got a surprise $178 bill from something months ago, to name one ) but just the thought writing it all up is too much right now everything really happens so much
HEY: MY BIRTHDAY IS TOMORROW AND IF YOU WANT ME TO SHARE LINKS TO YOUR GOFUNDMES, OR GOFUNDMES THAT OTHER PEOPLE NEED SHARED, PLEASE REPLY TO THIS WITH THEM AND I'LL SPREAD THEM AROUND.
What horseshit. She embraced gay people at the height of the AIDS crisis, embraced trans people at the height of the war against them, supported Black communities and artists, and wrote the most pro-worker's rights feminist pop song of all time. Neutral my ass

David Dayen@ddayen.bsky.social · 5d agoMeta is in the midst of a trial for addicting children to its websites. It could cost them $200 billion (or even $1.4 *trillion* by some accounts). It could be the end of social media as we know it, and @ryanlcooper.com feels fine: "Social media... is a gravely toxic institution."
Dear artists, You NEED to keep in contact with your commissioners. That's right, all of them. If they paid you money, you MUST communicate with them and tell them what's going on. You cannot just ghost someone for months and months after promising a quick turnaround and expect them to be happy!
Company that union busts and fires its employees and then justifies it by spreading rumors they were leaking stuff are now insisting you have to sympathize with them because it’s heartbreaking what these leakers are doing to their employees.

Why was Dolly able to do all these things? Because BMI (and ASCAP) protect songwriter’s rights and songwriters are paid royalties for everything. Dolly never sold her immense catalog of songs and it made her a 9-figure fortune.
It's ME(Jaime)@exceedhergrasp1.bsky.social · 5d agoDolly Parton was an uncredited producer on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. When she learned the only female producer was making less than her male counterparts, Dolly cut her a check for the difference, on the spot.

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
"Earlier this month, the National Park Service fired SJ over a pride celebration they conducted in May, scaling the park’s famous El Capitan wall and unfurling a large trans pride flag." This caused the rangers there to unionize behind them.
