Ice Cream Man both reminded me of why I started to enjoy horror, watching splatter flicks with friends in someone's basement or dorm room, but why even in those days it didn't sit 100% well with me. It's made for an edgelord teenage boy in the late 90s, and that point of view hasn't aged well.

Everyone keeps trying to appease the nazis by being more like the nazis and all that happens is you get more nazis if only there were some sort of historical precedent for understanding this process

Not only did I get to incorporate some roller derby skills into longsword today and show how Durchlaffen is basically a blocker move, I also sweated through my gear. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Using lists of three is not an "AI tell." It's a common trait in human writing because our brains biologically want to make sure there's always one thing to marry, one thing to fuck, and one thing to murder.

If your definition of masculinity does not allow for this level of swag, I don't want it.

Unique Vintage just decided potential bigot dollars are more important than my human rights welcome to being trans in 2026 please let them know this is unacceptable to you, ESPECIALLY if you’re cis: service@uniquevintage.com

Do not let the innocent face fool you, this is indeed the fluff gremlin who tries to start a wrestling match with my foot at zero-fuckoff-thirty in the morning if I leave it sticking out from under the covers.

Honestly very rude of my brain to have a bad day on a gorgeous summer Friday.

My work situation is frustratingly unstable and it makes me want to crawl under the nearest piece of furniture. Everyone has work but nobody knows when yet. I know that once busy season hits, it's gonna hit like a truck, but I would love to have a middle ground between over- and under-employed.

every time you write overly defensively you should remember that you are pursuing a strategy of writing careful sentences specifically for people who demonstrably either won't or can't read them

BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 2w ago

there is literally no amount of caveats or careful wording that will protect you from stupidity or bad faith, so you might as well say things straightforwardly and strongly to begin with.

Don't tell me what to do.

Sometimes bumper stickers are good, actually.

I hate that this is how I found out Stephen Miller is Jewish.

One day I will figure out how to stay calm when I see antisemitic “Stephen miller is a vampire” jokes but today is not the day.

I take it back, give me the pictures of crosswalks and motorcycles. the captchas are evolving and I can't solve this one.

A lot of leftist men were — and seemingly still are — willing to accept Graham Platner's many many faults because they have a sneering, condescending belief that working people in this country are white townie oafs who will only listen to other white townie oafs. www.garbageday.email/p/the-curdli...

there are men on the left who will see right wing men as their allies above left wing women because in their eyes the former confirms masculinity and the latter conveys weakness

If your understanding of yourself as a man is rooted in power and dominance over others, that's shitty masculinity, wherever you claim to be on the political spectrum. Shitty masculinity is antithetical to civic virtue and a functioning democratic society.

I'm fucking cackling out loud on the bus.

If roughing up a girlfriend and locking her in a room was a virile, authentic a rejection of “smoothgroined” “HR lady” politics, but a rape is too far, then what’s at stake is not a principled rejection of violence against women but a cynical assessment of how much violence a man can get away with.

Oh its OVER OVER

I really picked the right weekend to watch this movie, huh. Only they have to keep the charade up for a month. We live in the dumbest timeline.

They want to avoid a special election so it’s weekend at Bernie’s all up in the White House.

This is how they behave when the world is watching. The mask is off and the international backlash is well deserved.

In front of fans and kids taking photos, a Dallas police officer starts shoving staff members of the Egyptian national team here for the World Cup. At one point, he even reaches for his handcuffs. The video is already being shared internationally by news outlets.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

Listen. I spent more than a decade as a theatrical technician, rigging stages, hanging lights, flying scenery, etc. The number of times I have dropped anything on a stage with performers on it is zero. The number of times I’ve dropped something that might’ve killed someone is zero. This is major.

“Why is no one talking about…” They are, sweetheart, you just lack the basic research skills needed to find the conversations, which is why we make you take this class in the first place.

Seems to me the real insanity comes from the people whose first response to seeing someone who presents differently than they expect is mouth-frothing fury, when most trans folks are just trying to go to work or school, pay bills, care for their loved ones, and live.

YOUR REGULAR REMINDER THAT THE UN DEFINES GENOCIDE AS "intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a group... [including] Causing serious bodily or mental harm.. .. Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part..." Yes.

hey is the word “eliminate” good when they’re talking about You. just wondering

It's probably a good sign when you sign up for a 20ish minute first interview and end up talking for 45 minutes. The logistics of this job would be messy, but I'm hopeful.
