Photographer. Storyteller. Musician. Gamer. I post about games, grief, non-monogamy, politics, Detroit, food, and other goofiness 🏳️‍🌈 Sometimes NSFW because sex work is real work. Let me edit your photos for free! https://ko-fi.com/briandetroit/gallery

I think a shocking number of our major societal problems would vanish overnight if you could magically pull the plug on the X platform and Meta, both of which are carefully designed to turn people into the worst version of themselves.

Whatever you think of Hasan Piker, at the end of the day, dude is a streamer. The coverage a streamer has gotten while we've seen a full-blown push towards white supremacy from the government, complete with dramatic pre-dawn raids and masked men shooting people across the country, is obscene.

It's not even the ethics of it. My career, my hobbies, my free time, hell, my whole life took off once I fully left Twitter. It is a place to go if you want to be stuck in a neverending race war feedback loop. Like not using ChatGPT, not using Twitter is a superpower. Remain employable; stay off it.

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.

My little mean gremlin cat let me pick her up tonight! For the first time ever (willingly)! And she purred and let me pet her even! I am the ultimate brat tamer I swear

I generally don't find movies that are hyped up to be worth the hype, but Project Hail Mary was honestly just a good movie. It was sweet, funny, fascinating, believable, and very human.

It's that time of the year again. Don't donate to the Salvation Army. Donate to your local queer-supportive organizations instead. We need to make sure EVERYONE can eat every day of the week, not just people that can fit a certain societal mold.

First glance, I would perhaps do some deeper research on Salvation Army since they're an evangelical org and at a minimum will force you to sit through a service before food and many have a history of abuse and kicking out queer people, I would provide a warning at least

Just got my flu and COVID shots, reminder to get yours if you want to/can etc. Protect yourself and the people you care about!!!

Replies are shut down for obvious reasons but my recent experience is that an acquaintance (friend of a friend deal) used to be much fatter, and sort of glommed onto me in social situations as a fellow fat person to talk to. I don't really make "being fat" my whole personality, but he kind of did.

Fellow fat people/people who wear plus sizes: how is the skinnypocalypse showing up in your own life, outside of media? What kinds of changes have you noticed in body politics in your own friends/family/coworkers/neighbors/self?

I actually love that Gen Z is sort of collectively going "you know what, fuck all this app shit" and buying paper books, VHS movies, cassette tapes, shit with knobs and levers. Tactile shit. As an elder, I bow in gratitude to your wisdom and joy in fighting for these things.

Me, on the toilet for the 8th time today: "WHY THE HELL CAN'T I STOP SHITTING" Also me, 17 hours prior, blasted off an edible: "Yes, I should definitely eat an entire pound of red table grapes"

Can't help but think the "live execution" is a distraction from the last thing that was a distraction from the last thing that is a distraction from the Epstein files. *Failed Iran war *Gas prices *Reflecting pool *AI suddenly "killing us" *Kennedy center *Qatar jet Every week it's something new
