the air quality in Seattle rn is legit this guy who looks so sad I feel it though I feel it

annoying my girlfriend by coming up with elaborate lore for "American Touhou" like: Grace Remington is a flying cowgirl who guards the Roanoke Barrier that separates america from Fantasy. On the other side are impossible cryptids of myth like bigfoots, clowns, johnny appleseeds, and moderates.

“they have a kind of guy who’s self image depends on never wiping his ass” sounds like a bit an alien came up with to make fun of us that the other aliens find “a bit much” and “potentially problematic” and yet

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.

learning that the voices saying 'Connected' when I use my bluetooth headset belong to dorky women that love 2 get a lil silly with it has been so good for my mental health

my gf deleted had her bluesky and wasn't following other states' primaries outside of here so when she asked "what's going on with michigan?" she wouldn't believe me when I said that it involved a racist lady with an accidental chris farley impression until I showed her and now she's delighted.

I don't know how to tell you this but "aggressively misunderstanding terry pratchett on purpose" is what you do when you are intentionally trying to get bluesky, and specifically bluesky, to yell at you because that is all your career is now. its sad, like when a baby sucks.

the nice thing about being in the sensitive group during wild fire season is that I can't have the AC on because it brings in the particles that I'm sensitive to into the apartment, so I get to pick between "sweaty" or "coughing." wait a minute this doesn't sound like a very nice thing at all.

turns out its easy to be a trans ally, you just need to block all those pesky trans women

“bluesky has a liberal bubble! we need to attract other, more diverse kinds of thought!” I agree, you need give anarchists and communists both prizes and rewards for posting here.

80 dollars for a fire emblem? for that kind of money I could just buy some real over-glazed, poorly-written lesbians!

it would be so cool to make funny jokes and posts without the stupidest, most tedious scolds imaginable being fucking weirdos about it. that is killing social media way more than “bubbles” are.

social media is a public space and a social commons, like a city park. this is why when you go to the city park you are allowed to scream at strangers. this is also, interestingly enough, why they are NOT allowed to scream back. I don't know why I'm explaining this to you, we've all been to parks.

again, once trans people are involved you start seeing people struggle with very basic concepts. "wait so you're trying to tell me that if I buy goods or services from someone, with money, then that money of mine goes to them?? this is in-SANE of you! peak woke bluesky gobbledygook!"

"air quality only dangerous to sensitive groups"? but... I'm sensitive groups!

we should go back to anime having 52 episodes a season because what do you mean goodbye lara is almost half over? like all modern anime it needs time for a beach episode, a christmas episode, a polarizing middle arc, an episode for the VAs to stealth-plug their pop group, and 4-6 “Nanami episodes”

the longer Goodbye, Lara goes without introducing the prince lookalike everyone was scared of the funnier it gets. he is just NOT a narrative priority. at this rate he's gonna show up in the second cour before getting immediately eaten by the fish zohar.

what the omelas children need is to know is how valid they are.

Lockdown people are so funny. They pull out their hair at the fact that schools were closed for five minutes, and then you ask them if they actually want to educate poor and minority children and they’re like of course not

"I care about trans rights more than anyone's ever cared about anything, but that's no reason for me to do something or stop doing something" is considered a brave ally position for the same reason "please care about trans people" is considered a vile histrionic attack: cis people have no standards.

this is my new favorite diagram

The diarrhea lettuce company, Taylor Farms, uses slave labor contracted from the Arizona Dept. of Corrections. The backbreaking labor is often performed by imprisoned Mexican nationals who would be otherwise ineligble to work in the US. They are paid $1.50 an hour.

The Diarrhea Lettuce Company Has Been Linked to Forced Labor

The lettuce-producing Taylor Farms was linked to the widespread use of prison labor before its involvement in a cyclospora outbreak.

To all the lgbt folks out there who say age verification doesn’t matter. Surprise surprise they intended to use it against us. Like this doesn’t take a rocket scientist to see. When they get to change the rules all of us are targets.

The Missouri Attorney General is threatening librarians with arrest over an LGBTQ+ story hour for kids, suggesting that a picture book about gay dinosaur dads is "pornography." The Secretary of State says he'll pull funding if the event happens, citing the state's new age verification law.

this guy gets it

I have a pitch for a movie that’s basically a remake of Free Willy only the captive whale is a human, the humans are all some smaller animal like mice, but the little friendless mouse boy is still all “this gentle giant DOES have feelings, almost like we do, and he deserves to live free!”

in roughly ten years there's going to be an amazing breakout indie horror movie about dvd menus that kill people

people are really like “wow! this account with 3 followers, no posts but replies defending transphobia, and a random profile pic off google is someone I should argue with, over dozens of replies, because they are a real person NOT explicitly trying to waste my time and energy!”

As much as radicals get criticized for being "unrealistic," demanding entire demographics facing literal genocide always maintain mild rhetoric and actions is an absolutely delusional level of conformity to expect. I don't think that gets said enough.

there’s a lot of “women and girls, you’re supposed to be the product *we* sell, you’re not allowed to benefit yourselves” going around
