The way I phrased this in the past is "Some people don't want solutions. They want things to suck so they can not care and bond w/ their friends over how much everything sucks." Solutions take work. Regardless of the result, be willing to put it in. Don't be the people described here.

Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 5mo ago

The entire right wing ecosystem, from politics to media to business, is just for-profit contrarianism. The formula is: they name a real shortcoming of the imperfect status quo and once they got you they sell you horseshit that's much, much worse

i think we need a serious convo on the sheer amount of damage this tweet has done to leftist strategy

he made literally the best possible statement you can make about oct 7 like straight up spitting facts and both zionists and these people alike are accusing him of genocide for it. why even bother with trying to please either of these demographics anymore

Pro-Palestinian protesters gather outside City Hall to call out Mayor Zohran Mamdani for what they see as his betrayal of the movement. "Mayor Mamdani, you can't hide we charge you with genocide" was a chant that just rang out.

Shipoopi! Shipoopi! Shipoopi! The girl's a Super Freak Shipoopi! Shipoopi! Shipoopi! In new-wave magazines

Here's some concept stuff I made for a potential Hanna-Barbera 70th anniversary logo.

And there it is. 🔥

i cant stand the squirrelposter but this made me laugh cause its lowk true

i dont like the way we currently tackle body dysmorphia. its not an attack on people who share the features youre dysmorphic about but so many ppl act like framing it that way helps us. it really doesnt. all it does is make us feel like a shitty person for still experiencing the same symptoms

i think the reason "successful united 93ening happens near tel aviv" is a blip in the news is because we're too used to crazy shit happening on planes in the advent of social media

its october roommate has been job hunting and sending tons of applications since FUCKING. MAY. im starting to think all hiring managers or hr reps are ontologically evil people

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible! Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435). In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed. So Holly moved him.

Meet Backpack, your 2026 Fat Bear Week champion. Backpack is 20 years old, weighs about 1,000 pounds and got his nickname because, as a cub, he loved riding on his mom's back across the Brooks River.

srsly tho this is why i will never tolerate any form of lesbianism that excludes bi women for arbitrary reasons. bi women are queer. bi women can be butch or femme or whatever. we're all fucking oppressed together i genuinely do not care that bi girls think dudes are also hot

I thought this happened awhile ago. Log Cabin Republicans, who do you think is next?

i will never understand how "muslims want to BAN DOGS" ever gains traction because i have heard some hardline fundy muslims on social media say some INSANE shit yet not once have any of them ever advocated for a full on dog ban

Fans sent 50,000 letters of protest to Warner Bros. when Michael Keaton was cast as Batman.

"Fandoms used to be full of nice ppl before covid and then all the bullies and popular kids joined" is literally an "the earth is flat" tier false belief to me

I guess this person has never heard @alyankovic.bsky.social's amazing Powerline parodies "Spam Out" and "Pie 2 Pie."

I don't think it's a GOOD thing that so many Democrats somehow feel the need to be transphobic, in fact I think it's stupid and counterproductive of them if not openly self-sabotaging...but nor do I buy the slippery slope argument that this will turn the Dems into Labour.

not to be all "ackshully this is a right wing psyop" but i fully believe the right making masking during 2020 a partisan issue is the reason we're in this mess where people believe staying masked forever is the only way to care about social justice

"You're making fun of queer people" I think most people are pretty sympathetic to the queer woman living out of her truck, $50k in debt, abandoned by her business partners, who thinks she is obligated to sit through 3.5 hour accountability sessions for the crime of wanting to keep the business open.

discord casually admitting they know that nobody wanted the age verification implemented and trying to be funny about it is seriously something that the pr team should reflect on and really study when they lose a lot of nitro subs in this next week

DVDs aren't low-tech. They're just things you can actually own, that won't disappear overnight, that don't require a monthly subscription, that won't suddenly get reedited, that won't start putting adverts in the middle and that won't sell your data to the worst people in the world.

Perhaps you’ve ditched algorithmically curated playlists for vinyl and enjoy DVDs rather than streaming

I hate doing the "a rollback of trans rights is the gateway for a rollback of women's rights" thing because trans rights are human rights in and of themselves, whatever the impact on cis women. But goddamn I wish more cis women had a sense of history and self preservation.

while im at it i am sick of how sapphic spaces are lately every sapphic bar or event ive been to has been DEAD. everyone is always in some corner to themselves with their friends and are basically completely unapproachable. ive literally gotten weird looks for trying to join in with a group of women

IT WAS FOR ONE NIGHT?????? ONE MASK OPTIONAL NIGHT???? NOT EVEN A FULL END TO THE MANDATE???? IN 20 MOTHERFUCKING 26????? look at my lgbt+ community dawg we're never getting anymore lesbian bars

randall@dollirot.bsky.social · 3w ago

AND ITS OVER A MASK MANDATE like i seriously thought some story from 2020-2021 for some reason was making the rounds again but holy shit its actually from the big 26. this is exactly what i mean when i say lesbian bars are held to impossible standards.

this whole massachusetts lesbian bar thing just made me realize that the reason we have so few lesbian bars now is because the ones that do exist are held to impossible moral purity standards that gay guy bars simply are not held to
