"aha ... our trap card ... showing off this fully transitioned trans guy! checkmate conservatives" you people are so utterly useless it's no wonder that fascism is ascendant everywhere i'm sorry what else can i say

can you guys retire "the right wing / chuds don't know what to do with trans men and forget they exist and will be So Confused by them!!!!" already. they are fully aware trans men exist and the thing they do to trans men is violently abuse and murder them

sometimes i see people's reviews of gfm's "manhunt" like "oh it's too gory and angry and dismal. i want to support Trans Writers(tm) but this is too much" in 2026 like buddy of all things to say about that book did you not see the part about it being a splatterpunk horrorfest

(3/3) 7. thing where revisiting it prompts a profound sense of alienation as you realise it's no longer relatable to you 8. thing where revisiting it prompts a jarring revelation that this is probably why you have that one specific kink 9. thing that you swear "gets good" if you give it a chance

(2/3) 4. thing that's an inferior knock-off of a different thing 5. thing that's actually an unwitting conflation of poorly remembered fragments of several other things 6. thing that moves anyone you show it to to remark that it explains some things about you

feels dishonest to talk about the EA sale relative to the Future Of BioWare as though we did not just get the "bioware has been so thoroughly gutted that they can't even do a cash grab dragon age rerelease because no one can even work with the source code anymore" article

Everywhere should be a hostile place for Republicans. They should not be able to find a friend anywhere. They should lose all their professional and familial relationships. They should be blocked from signing up to social media platforms, clubs, and yard sales. They should be ejected from fairs.

there are definitely downsides to the nuclear block but the reason I keep coming back to it as necessary and good is that it completely ruined the whole MAGA engagement model to the point that they prefer to mock us from the nazi bar rather than come here to troll us directly

Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

frankly the most annoying part of my day every day is encountering someone who is on here “for liberal politics” so I am actually in favor of expanding our reach. we gotta bring over like, those guys who get horny for old elevators
