You know you shouldn't, so continuing to go means you don't care about me, or at least that you care about me less than a sandwich. I don't know why this'd drive you to seek absolution rather than just going "oh shit my bad" and changing your habits.
honestly I'm hiding from the sandwich owner pretty well, I've gotten used to wearing a bullet proof vest and only leaving the house when absolutely necessary, so the real pain is just knowing that all my friends are prioritizing a tasty sandwich over if I live or die
like I'm not saying you should go to jail for eating a sandwich, or you should give up cuban's forever, just... get them somewhere else? somewhere that isn't invested in killing me? "but nowhere else has that imported spicy mayo!"
I wish I could convince my friends to stop eating there. but they all just say that nowhere does a cuban sandwich like they do.
there's plenty of restaurants in this town, but the owner of the sandwich shop downtown hates me, says he's gonna kill me, and has a sign up on the wall saying that 5 cents out of every sandwich order will go towards buying bullets to shoot me with.

GREG DAVIES: seems like a kind of a shit task. Everyone just seems like they're going home normally. ALEX HORNE: well before you say that let's have a look at how Odysseus did. cut to panel of AJAX, MENELAUS, AGAMEMNON, and DIOMEDES who are all staring at ODYSSEUS with his head in his hands
That's not to say climate change is over and we can declare victory but the path to zero carbon is now extremely obvious and achievable and its mostly a matter of time (and how much damage we inflict along the way) rather than an existential danger we might not solve.

The D&D paladin is the funniest class because at first it seems like an artefact of a bygone era of fantasy fiction with few contemporary inspirations, but then you dig into it and realise there ARE modern media characters who fit the mould, but like 80% of them are deeply unwell teenage lesbians.
You want to know what Platner actually was? He was someone for male leftists to uphold as a symbol of moving past women's concerns in politics, representing a desire to leave behind even the pretense of caring about misogyny, and they're fucking apoplectic it blew up in their worthless faces.
It would literally be unpatriotic not to become a member of Assigned Media on America's 250th birthday, unless ofc you want to be unpatriotic, in which case it's also a great way to thumb your nose at the oppressive US government!
Assigned Media@assignedmedia.org · last mo.This fourth of July, what better way to celebrate the FREEDOMS of our GREAT NATION than by supporting an independent trans news site? Support the American ideals of diversity of thought and opinion today, because by next year, who knows if we'll still have them. assignedmedia.org/support/
100 RTs and I'll start up the Northeastern Conference League of Speed Self-checkouting in order to raise public awareness of how we can be better, faster, stronger at the self checkout and inspire a grassroots movement to learn how to goose these barcode readers
Norm@bloatytoe.bsky.social · last mo.Grocery stores really need to start implementing tiers for the self checkout. One set of registers for first timers. One set of registers for people who know what they're fucking doing.
While everyone's "all the love to trans folks" posts are nice and it is good to see support We have been getting them for a decade now. If you want to support trans folks, hire us. Support GFMs and asks for mutual aid. Put yourself between trans folks in public if you see harassment.
I hope today is a stark reminder why "I will follow the law" was an absolutely horrible way to respond to a question about trans rights.
Squares of the world unite! We have nothing to lose but our chains, corner-less links and all.
PMC Vanguardist@tylerboschert.bsky.social · last mo.It somehow never occurs to these people that Pete Buttigieg might appear to be kinda square not because he is performing squareness to appeal to conservatives but because his authentic personality is kinda square.
Jax telling her past of escaping an emotionally abusive mom and becoming homeless to Ribbit brought tears to my eyes. She grew up in a transphobic house and knew she had to run and escape that toxicity. #theamazingdigitalcircus #TADC
People who don't think Jax is trans in TADC should consider watching TADC.
No joke, after I finished The Pitt I started watching the first couple seasons of ER. I was a little shocked to be reminded of how much was different back in the 90s, as well as how much hasn't changed.

Do you walk faster than your partner, or do they walk faster than you? One weird trick to match pace - hold hands! (If your partner won't do this then it's a bigger red flag than just walking ahead)
cait (and adonis)@cait.bsky.social · 2mo agothis type shit never happens to me because I'm insane. if a man ever intentionally walked off and left me 10 steps behind I would take off my shoe and throw it at his head
Huh. I suppose nothing screams Pride Month more than coming back from queer times with your amazing girlfriend to find you've been CENSURED FOR HERESY for criticizing the papacy. I mean, c'mon, I enjoy a little medieval re-enactment too, but this is ridiculous.
David Forbes@davidforbes.bsky.social · 2mo agoIf you give a damn about trans lives, STOP PRAISING THE POPE AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HIERARCHY. They're literally a key part of trans genocide. Right now. Today. Actively and aggressively. You do not, under any circumstances, have to hand it to them.
