All right, people. Let's start from the beginning, one last time. A thread about a direction I've been meaning to shift for a few years now, but which - like a lot of things I've wanted to change in my life - had to wait until I was coming at it from the right angle and for the right reasons. 1/

Dammit. So much for a fresh start. Does anyone know if appealing these works? It looks like it's purely for trying to re-follow so many people.

I'm not seeing stuff about contacting payment processors on my timeline. If we stop now they will take the lesson that they can do all the censorship they want and within a month people will just calm down and accept it. We have to keep going. Make them backtrack!

it’s a classic for a reason.

Noodling on politics. Consider yourselves warned. I've been thinking about the sudden lurch towards throwing trans rights under the bus by dem presidential hopefuls and the total non-response by Congressional dems to defend us. And I think it's this. (1/?) www.vox.com/politics/397...

Why Big Tech turned right

Democrats have paid a political price for taking on Silicon Valley — but not a very expensive one.

I honestly think the majority of cis people are upset by trans existence, especially nonbinary existence, because as children we were all told there were things we weren't allowed to do or be or feel or say because we were a girl, or because we were a boy. I honestly think that's unhealed trauma. 🧵

She made it home okay

The world is bad but at least there is lesbians

The feeling i have is that for as important as female friendship is I, and I shall say this rather bluntly, care more about telling the little lesbian out there who doesnt know what she is that she isnt a monster. That there's a community waiting for her. That she'll have a rich life full of love.

when i was child i didn’t think so much of adulthood would be spent unlearning all the messed up things i was taught as a kid

the new Helldivers 2 launch trailer for Xbox Series S / X teases a Halo 3 ODST crossover at the end 🤯

decades of ableist cyberpunk warning us that prosthetics that assist mobility and perception would drive people to cyberpsychosis but instead it's just people with smartphones going insane because they were affirmed by robot texts a little too much into fully detaching from reality

Years of sitcoms taught me that the straights don't even -like- marriage

We are pleased to announce our spinoff title, "Regret Dating Everything," where, instead of everything in your home turning into entertaining waifus, lesbians, twinks, and bears, they turn into seventy evil exes.

In the game #DateEverything you can turn your nice coffee maker into Kopi, a friendly barista who's passionate about coffee and loves to share fun facts and history about it. But that's a NICE coffee maker. So I thought to myself, what if the main character owned a Keurig instead?

New mantra. Also, sums up the reason I enjoy wearing platform heels as an already tall gal 😈

At first I didn’t act, because I feared them. Then I realized I must act, because I never should have been made to fear at all.

"Get it all on record now. Get the films. Get the witnesses. Because somewhere down the track of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened." – Dwight D. Eisenhower, Germany, 1945

The defense of Rowling accidentally reveals that trans women are used as scapegoats for the violence of cis men. And like, I haven't read Whipping Girl, but I think a lot of us have had the realization that trannies are the sin-eaters of contemporary society.

The argument has always been "this is too valuable a technology to follow the law or any safeguards", and this is not anywhere near the first time it's been argued for emerging tech; it just happens to be the time that involves the largest intellectual property misappropriation in world history.

I believe they call this "finding out" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

A millennial reboot of back to the future would never work because Marty would learn that he’s undoing his very existence and he would be like “hell yeah, peace at last.” #backtothefuture #darkhumor

Working in the games industry right now is like working in the Banana Stand, knowing that the walls of the stand are lined with $250k, and having an executive show up and burn the Banana Stand down, with you inside it, because somebody said they *might* pay them to do it.

SEE YOU 15th AUGUST AT THE BIGGEST SHOWDOWN IN DIGITAL CIRCUS HISTORY!!!!!!!

Four years ago today, I told the world who I was, and officially stopped trying to be the other person I'd been told to be my whole life. It was the start of unpacking shame over my nonconformity. The person on the left doesn't think she deserves this. The person on the right knows she always did.

“Magica Riot: Full Bloom” has more and bigger action, more feelings, and is even gayer than the first book. I was cooking for this one.
