hey panera can we have the lemonade that kills us again

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

It's easy to forget now but we had decades of steady advancement on trans rights. The 2016 bathroom bills invited huge backlash! It was only after the media constructed sports and youth medications as 'debates' that opposition moved from the far right to the polite center.

I joined Bluesky exactly two years ago and I wrote a piece about my thoughts on the platform - how it's been coming along so far and where it seems fated to go. Thanks for reading.

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

Happy pride to u pimps

Dread it. Run from it. Meltdown May arrives all the same

Men are not constantly being told “you’re bad,” they are constantly being told “LEFT WING SJWS THINK YOU’RE BAD” by conservative propaganda. There’s a huge difference.

youre laughing??? de poopst ass dout and you're laughing??????

Revealed preferences theory suggests that Wall Street executives value their ability to call their subordinates gay at approximately 8 trillion dollars

Between water racing in Mario Kart World and the Harry Potter game, we have full surf and terf representation.

Adam Conover did a video recently asking why so many movies are still built around people who were celebrities in the 90s. The reasons is because that's the last time we had celebrities because the film industry decided it was more profitable to have movies driven by IP rather than actors.

Capcom, please add bazelgeuse to monhun wilds with zero announcements in an innocuous bugfix patch it would be so funny. The only monster I genuinely do not want spoilers for, his entire purpose is announcing his existence by melting you and the monster like steel beams halfway through a hunt.

the democratic party strategy of offering zero counter narratives to anything happening in the country will work out and tank donald trumps agenda any day now

I've been waiting for this day to finally come

well this made me cry over breakfast. to any democrats holding even a shred of power right now: look at what’s possible from people far more endangered and vulnerable than you and grow a spine, you fucking cowards www.erininthemorning.com/p/powerful-s...

This is what they've taken from us.

Literally late to the game on this, but The Outer Wilds is so incredible. I can't recommend it enough. What an experience.

As an alternate timeline of Elden Ring, something I'd love to see out of Nightreign would be new takes on existing characters. Imagine a boss fight against Empyrean Ranni and Blaidd. Rot Avatar Malenia and her Valkyries. Godrick with no grafting. He's just a little guy and it's also his birthday.

The phenomenon of “leftist language policing” is 99% a product of centrists whining about it constantly. I almost never encounter it in real life and requests for vocabulary updates are typically non-binding guidelines for formal written documents.

The thing is that once problems/disasters start piling up the answer we're going to hear will not be "we need to hire back all those controllers", it will be an excuse to privatize/switch to AI/whatever. "Look! The government sucks and can't run things!"

I think a lot, especially now, about that bit in Shaunvids Harry Potter essay where he points out that in the world of JK's writing (and by extension the neoliberal mindset) there are no good or bad actions, only good or bad teams. Cruelty is always justified as long as it's at "the bad guys"

I’d like to spread some love, so maybe I could help share some artists webshops? Mind sharing your favourite gift in your art webshop or that of a fellow artist? Please share it! I’ll try and repost as many as possible. Get some valentines gift from independent creators!

Passing on this amazing message from one of my pole teachers.

This probably isn’t the developers’ top priority (although it should be), but I’d love to see the Bluesky app have an option to switch to the Julian calendar for those of us who reject the lies of Pope Gregory XIII

grind the government to a halt stop voting for any nominees, object to every unanimous consent, do a rotating talking filibuster on the senate floor going over the transformation of the United States into Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s personal fiefdom act like what’s happening is happening

men, listen the fuck up. one of the most loving things you can do for your partners and families is take care of yourself. Make that doctor's appointment you've been putting off NOW. Start therapy NOW. Get your shit sorted out.
