Oh nice, just found out I won't be able to do something I've really been looking forward to
Eugene Onager@subtextexplainer.bsky.social · 2w agoIn my personal life, I'm just heading into a week of bullshit followed by a scant few days of crap & then three solid weeks of absolute screaming vileness. Then there's a little reward hanging out there that will likely be cancelled. Wish me luck

DO NOT go yell at this person, they're fine, but: I don't know what this means
One of James Telerico or Ken Paxton will be the next senator from Texas. If you're telling people not to support Telerico, you're saying you want Paxton to win. That's it. You cannot select a different, third bespoke person to be senator like buying a tailored suit.
Audience member to performer at the post-performance Q&A: "I missed what you just said, but I have something I want to share" ok lmao
Lol thinking of someone I know telling me "my therapist is great, he diagnosed my spouse based on my anecdotes about him"
BeijingPalmer@beijingpalmer.bsky.social · 7mo agotherapy is not very effective a lot of the time. it is often the best tool we have but it's not a very good tool, psychiatry as a whole is a deeply uncertain and often ideological field. relying on it as a solution to societal problems is sketchy at best.
He doesn't know what a tamale is. He has heard "hot tamales" as an expression, so he is saying that string of sounds, which he associates w/Mexico. He has never eaten a tamale, doesn't know it's a food item
Bill Grueskin@bgrueskin.bsky.social · last mo.Trump says that one of the only things we import from Mexico are "hot tamales." Not tamales -- but "hot tamales." Because if you go to any crossing on our southern border, you will see 18-wheelers with huge ovens. Those ovens are set to 375 degrees, and they are filled with tamales.

I've started blocking every account that brings Trump/Republicans into a thread about a different topic & I wish I could say it's improving my experience, but there seems to be an infinite supply
We're being told that if we sacrifice the rights of some people, then the rest of us get to keep our rights. We all know that's some BS.
An extremely on-the-nose example of why the fight for women’s rights and the fight for trans rights are the same fight.
ProPublica@propublica.org · 2mo agoMissouri's Amendment 3 would restore an abortion ban with limited exceptions, but its advertising is focused on a different provision: banning gender transition care for minors. The campaign never explicitly states it would repeal the constitutional right to abortion voters approved 2 years ago.
I have a joke, anybody available to explain it to me?
I love knowing that anything could happen. We could wake up tomorrow and learn we've invaded Australia and Monaco simultaneously. Bubonic turbo-plague sweeping through the Coast Guard. Gilded Mount Rushmore. We're racist against Indiana now, for some reason
There’s no contradiction between this kind of pornographic misogyny and puritanical misogyny of the old Christian right. Both use sexuality to enact men’s domination over women. That one sect forces sex and the other prohibits it is largely a matter of taste.

There was an opinion article shared around here recently about how the unspoken rules of Insta/social media are that we can't say we're struggling *currently*, we highlight the narrative of getting through it. Where was that?
What is this word "bitchmade," why are we doing this
Kang@kang.bsky.social · 2mo agoinsecurity? lol idk man its called having a friend and being annoyed that someone you used to have pleasant convos with *(bobby big wheel) is not just talking shit about you and your friends. Feels a little bitchmade or at least rude but you keep screaming and getting mad at me.
please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that
