Fair, they/them. 35. Mostly horror movies and pictures of cats.

Yeah, I mean, don't yet me wrong - what I'm feeling isn't sympathy, it's exhaustion. He's a reprehensible worm and he's getting everything he deserves.
I just find this so sad. Like, I can't even be mad at him because at this point it's just pitiful. He lost his family, his work, his health, literally everything, and for what? How does this shit happen to people?
The bank app is telling me to "tap & pay like a bossđ" and "rally my crew". I am 37 years old and you are the bank. Don't talk to me this way.
I love how tortoises always look like they're about to delicately and demurely accept a treat and then they give the chompiest monster chomp
I was buying my son a pair of shoes and they had Kool-Aid man boxers at point of purchase, which I of course bought. Putting them on this morning I tried to remember the jingle that followed the âOh yeah!â but could only come up with âKool-Aidâs great and itâs got ice in it,â which is wrong. 1/5
hi, cis folks! this is present day reality for UK trans folks. itâs outrageous someone should have to have taken this journey to live as themselves, participate in society, & be with who they love. hi, cis americans! this is a future trans americans see that starts with âwe need to compromise.â
Has anyone asked the person who wrote this why? Like, I know what the reason is, but I want to know what they would say the reason is. If one of these weirdos would just say, "I have the emotional maturity of a table lamp and also I'm a control freak," I would respect them a lot more.
so, like... if he scapegoats minority groups like Trump, hangs out with right-wing influencers like Trump, tweets like Trump, and mobilizes cops in the name of a moral panic about crime like Trump...
The reason this is so perfect is that even if this happened exactly as stated, he still looks pathetic and gross, which makes the fact that he's lying and/or bragging about it even funnier. There's layers to it, man
Cannot be emphasized enough that anti-housing NIMBYs in places like California and New York are objectively working to support a durable MAGA hold on Congress and the presidency.
I donât really think that thereâs any difference between calling human beings âNPCsâ or calling them cockroaches or âhuman animalsâ or any other classic rhetoric of dehumanization and I find it pretty worrying that people who are otherwise concerned with respectability have adopted its use
âI donât owe anybody anything!â Actually we are perhaps nothing but dizzyingly intricate webs of obligations to other beings and ourselves. The sheer weight of our obligations is all that keeps us from floating away into space. We can never do enough but we must try.
The other day, I was going to tell someone they looked like Meg Foster, but like, in the 2000s. But I didn't know how to say it without potentially causing offense or at least confusion. So I didn't say anything. A technique which is easy and free to employ.
Someone did this to me last year and I'm still not over it. She even said "And they'd me mad at me for showing someone their picture because they think they're not good-looking." Yeah, fucking imagine that
You only need to let it go or forgive her if that's what's good for you. If you don't feel you need to do that in order to be healthy, then don't. She didn't even apologize; you don't owe her anything.
Have you seen these people? If he says he's not finishing the series, they'll burn his house down. I agree with you in theory, but between the publishers and the fans, I legitimately don't think he can safely do that.
when the AI bubble finally collapses and everyone who spent a year smugly hyping it suddenly has to come crawling back with their tail between their legs, i just want to say i am not going to be the bigger person about it. i am going to be meaner than you can even believe
listen the world is a mess but a judge ordered the Florida migrant prison closed, California passed their "fuck around, find out" redistricting, and James Dobson is dead this is the best net good news day in awhile, I really do think
The answer is that Millenials are the first generation to fully grow up under Reaganomics and it's killing us.
"But the fact that death rates have remained high across so many kinds of deaths, from car collisions to fatalities from circulatory diseases and diabetes, hints at more encompassing and systemic problems."
Today I met the smallest dog I've ever seen, a deer-head chihuahua named (of course) Tinkerbell. Her owner claimed she only weighs about four pounds. She looked like a tiny fairy princess and was soft like a puppy in spite of being a little old lady. I would die on a battlefield for Tinkerbell.
I updated my phone and now it keeps giving me push notifications about tennis, a sport I have never watched even once in my life, unless Battle of The Sexes counts
I want to congratulate leading Democratsâ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a âstuntâ or a âdistraction.â Itâs a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.
Hey, thank you! My advice, if you want it, would be to just try it. You can always stop if you don't like it, but you'll never know if it will help you if you don't try!
If anything, my hair looks better now because I have the motivation to take care of it. My pcp says my normal heart rate and blood pressure look great.
The only negative effects I've noticed are that I can't take cetirizine (zyrtec) for allergies without getting dizziness and dry mouth - I switched to loratadine (claritin) and have had no more issues. Also, too much caffeine raises my blood pressure now where it didn't before.
I wouldn't have a problem with requiring the medication for the rest of my life if it didn't mean I had to obtain it from people and systems determined to treat me like a criminal.
I wish I could have done this 15 years ago. I feel like a real person for the first time in my life. I refuse to hide that I take vyvanse and will answer any questions anyone has. I've seen skeptics visibly change their minds after talking to me.
I started my meds a little over a year ago and my life has been completely transformed. I'm not only holding down a job but enjoying it and getting promoted, I have hobbies, I can socialize and clean my house, I don't sleep every other day anymore, and I don't dread getting out of bed. Total 180.
I was a fan way back in the day. The idea of an alternate reality where victims are taken seriously, zealously fought for, and always treated with respect was too appealing, regardless of how diametrically opposed to reality. But somewhere along the way, the fantasy became inexcusable.
Showing the world Iâm a tough hypermasculine man by being WAY more scared than everyone else
Ah, crap. We already named the farm DeLorean - what are we supposed to call the horse??
Brooks got into my protein powder. Google says he should be okay, but I'm worried he's going to get yoked and usurp me as head of the household.
One of the reasons Biden was the last candidate on my list of nominees was that we clearly needed serious change to prevent Trump 2 and I didnât think he would do it, and I hate that I was right.
It's hard to pick the best line delivery of all time, but I'm pretty sure all the top contenders are from Jeffery Combs
trans women even annoying ones please you gotta eat food
Hey, thanks! It is an interesting field, it's just a shame everyone in charge of it sucks so much
Can you elaborate, or is there a good article I can read about this? I'd be fascinated to know HOW they all ended up with such a distinctive and repellent style
I finally figured it out. It's Bob from Mad Men. LLMs talk like a guy using his skills in advertising to pass himself off as the perfect employee and therefore the perfect all-American man. Obsequious, polished, faux-sincere, and extremely convincing to people who already think highly of themselves.
It was worth it, but like...damn.
Went out for dinner last night, stayed for five hours, had delicious non-alcoholic beer and stimulating conversation. Got home, realized I'd left my phone on the counter and never even noticed. It ruled. Then, I slept in five hours longer than I meant to this morning because of Equivalent Exchange.
given how many people languished in jail on the most minor weed charges even after their state legalized it and gourmet edibles became the new Chardonnay, I have to say Iâm skeptical
The Portland Timbers stadium is Providence Park now, which is a way better name than Jeld-Wen Field, but I do miss that it being named after a window company meant you could call it the House of Pane.
Rowling could've lived in her castle and tweeted "Hagrid wants you to brush your teeth and have a happy St. Swithin's Day!" a few times a year and HP would've had the same legacy as Pooh or Middle-earth, but she consciously chose Evil For Evil's Sake like a badly written children's fantasy villain
It only took EIGHT GODDAMN DAYS. Also, I don't know what's up with the sushi gif. It just captured my feelings of triumph and rage.
I HAVE MY MEDS
Welcome back. As much as I'd love to have hardass militant dykes running everything, I vow to always speak out against trans woman dogpiling, even and maybe especially if I don't even like the target. It's the very least we can all do.
whenever I wind up as the target of transmisogynistic harassment online, a not-infrequent part of my professional life, I think about the trans women who aren't spiteful cockroach queers like I am, who crumple when attacked, who flee creative scenes, who never make anything again.
None of my friends were happy about it either. Female puberty is a body horror nightmare and there's nothing sweet or delicate about it. Sebastian has never spoken to a woman and I don't think he should start now.
I didn't even tell my mom about my first period. I finally told her months later and she was all touched that I was growing up while I was thinking about how this was the worst thing that had ever happened to me. It was alienating, not intimate. First bra shopping was just awkward.
I meant it to be ironic. But that being said, more weird art in the White House would be pretty dope.
The one part of the universe that has me going âWait a minute⌠am I in a computer simulation?â is phonograph records. You drag a needle through some wax and you play it back and it sounds the same? Bullshit.
I'm sorry, they're claiming their dangerous act of heinous sexual harassment has *symbolism*?
At least Epstein had the decency to put up some weird art. As far as I'm aware, the only "art" Trump has added are pictures of himself.
Dealing with my first round of bureaucratic hamster wheel torture about being on a "controlled substance," which is my adhd medication legally prescribed to me by a qualified physician. I'm ready to raze everything to the fucking ground and start over, just let me know when the rest of you are free
Gretchen got suspended, so we have to extra spread the word about Black Flame's release. I had the chance to read it a few months back and it's such a brutal hard look at cultural trauma, assimilation, self hatred, revenge, and the messiness of history. It will knock your socks off
hey @bsky.app why was @scumbelievable.bsky.social suspended? considering the timing (she just put a new book out) it feels like someone is weaponizing your safety features in a targeted manner
On the bright side, I'm sure it could have been worse

How was the cookie dough egg
I think this is what's getting to me most: You are digging up someone's memory and doing a Weekend at Bernie's impression with it for no constructive purpose. The dead are violated for words they've never spoken or thought so that you can try and tug on heart strings. That is intensely disgusting.
Trans people are now banned from UPenn, Harvard, Brown, Cornell, Columbia, intntnl track & field, the Olympics, chess, darts, most federal jobs, the US military & intelligence services, federal facilities, public bathrooms in most states, & many local sports. Seems bad! Let me know what I missed!
I've definitely told the story before, but I'm sure there's also a theaters' worth of other people who also remember it
I'm willing to bet Zak was the only person watching that movie correctly
I wasn't present, but my parents won tickets to a midnight screening, and at one point, my mom, fed up by hours of what she calls "elf crap," loudly announced, "Throw the ring into the damn volcano so we can go home." I'm told many people tutted in disapproval, but many also laughed in agreement.
We named ourselves Doc and Marty, proprietors of DeLorean Farm. I expect us to have conquered the Skull Mines by the weekend.
I introduced a coworker to Stardew after learning he loves to farm in Minecraft. We started a co-op. At day six, he's put a sizeable dent in the fish collection, cleared out a third of the debris on our farm, and devised a way to maximize daily play time through micronaps. In short, he's thriving.
I don't know you and you don't know me, but purely in terms of Opinions on Horror, I think we might be soulmates
I think some people are just naturally like this, but most people aren't. You just have to learn not to compare yourself. And the good news is, he's using his productivity to help you and your family, which gives you more time to get stuff done!
So now we gotta re-fight the American Revolution, American Civil War, *and* WW2 because none of the losing ideologies of those wars ever went away and instead were just waiting for the winners to get lazy.
Well, I'll be damned. It's royalty free and there's already six, generic manufacturers lined up. newatlas.com/infectious-d...
Tom Lehrer died today. He was one of the great comedians our culture ever produced. Without Tom, there's no Weird Al, probably no that entire branch of comedy. He went alone and beat the odds. youtu.be/frAEmhqdLFs?...
I pet an extremely fat donkey and browsed many overpriced trinkets. Seriously considering having the balloon animal guy make me a flamingo hat
There's a street fair downtown so I got a lemonade the size of a cinderblock and now I'm monopolizing a bench swing by the water to listen to the boomer tunes cover band
WU-TANG FOREVER đđ˝
i really truly wish any of the epstein furore was caused by a genuine concern for cruelty for teenage girls, for exploited kids. it would be a different country if it was, of course, but the discourse is sometimes jarring
not to wade into the discourse but [proceeds to wade into discourse] I don't think that a broad definition of trans people is why we lost Skrmetti, I think we lost because we live in a state whose main lawmaking body is a reactionary unelected council of nine people who decided that fascism is good
And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.
âporn is dangerousâ is fascist propaganda
Standing perfectly still so I don't accidentally spend money
PACKERS WIN THE SUPER BOWL!!!
Ah, good old cognitive dissonance
Yes, but do those people think they're persecuted, or are they pretty aware they routinely break the law?
If you think this, I absolutely guarantee you the cops don't know who you are. They're arresting you for doing stuff that's illegal. Like, you're not Scarface. Just stop getting in fights.
I have known people who have been in trouble with the law a lot despite not really doing much wrong, usually for being the kind of person who always jumps in to help in a tough situation without thinking. But anyone who claims to be a "trophy" for the police is full of shit. 1/2
Oh, I remember that lady! I follow Gail Simone and I remember she seemed nice enough because she had some pleasant interactions with Gail, but I remembered thinking how odd it seemed to me to dedicate a whole account to like...speaking on behalf of a fictional character. Guess I was right
Young refuseniks burn their IOF draft papers in the middle of Tel Aviv They refuse to serve in the Israeli Occupation Forces, and are willing to go to military jail for their position. The new generation of refuseniks is supported by the older, many of them spent months in jail already
Damn. That is an extremely good haul
I don't even think you're a coward. If I read about someone whose dog died while they escaped from a bear, I wouldn't judge them. But I do think *you* think you're a coward, and I don't think stirring up shit to get all your ugly feelings out is gonna help you. Maybe go for a walk next time instead.
You're also a misogynist, so the idea that a pretty woman has better moral character than you is absolutely unbearable, and you have to invent a narrative where her courage is actually degenerate and weak. SHE'S what's wrong with America! Only detached, rational men like ME should be in the news!
