the basket of disgruntlement

@cockremover.bsky.social i was gonna post and ask about something I stumbled on today and it occured to me you may have already covered this before

i really need you people to stop saying "but some autistics are actually ok" and start saying "throw all eugenecists in a deep hole and fill it with cement"

No one is making you be a writer if you can’t do it and also don’t enjoy doing it. If you’re larping a job for clout I’d probably pick surgeon or Nobel prize winning diplomat, stealing valor for from isolated weirdos at their laptops is like shoplifting from the landfill.

Reminder that anything Potter-related identifies you as a transphobe. Bought it from an independent artist? Thrifted it? Pirated it? Doesn't fucking matter. I don't care if the Nazi flag you're flying was bought secondhand, the fact that you still want to fly it speaks volumes about you.

We already have a draft it's called the poverty draft bitch

these are my politics in a nutshell. words by Kwame Ture.

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

They've always been like that. Do not, my friends, allow yourselves to be strongarmed into thinking the Democrats are your friends. I'm seeing a renewed Bluemaga push on here, with the Khivers leading the charge by telling us not to make fun of their pantsuit queen. Repel them.

Today for Trans Day of Visibility, I would like to show my RPG work. The Sundered Marches is a steampunk setting that details the rise of revolution against an empire in decline, and encourages players to explore their characters' bodily identity. Also: cowgirl witches and boys with jetpacks.

Private Capital should never decide the technologies we pursue or the uses for them. What's best for the public and what's profitable are not aligning interests. We end up with AI slop, robot dogs with guns, driverless hit and runs, and mass surveillance with facial recognition.

sensational

It’s a great time to buy prints in the sense that inprnt won’t let me transfer my earnings until I earn another $47 dollars in print sales

The idea of vampires being compelled to use their real names or their anagrams comes from "Carmilla" (1872) by J. Sheridan Le Fanu about the titular and archetypal lesbian vampire who was born as Countess Mircalla, then went by Millarca and finally Carmilla. The novella predates Dracula by 25 years.

doctor: I am shocked at how much change their is in your values this is incredible me: Do you remember telling me you didnt think it was possible Doctor: yes me: Do you have any other patients who are writers Doc: Don't think so me*takes drag of cigarette*: Today's lesson will be on pettiness

It's genuinely disgraceful, like deep and real shame level, that the only 'major' media guy willing to look a senator in the eye and do this is the dumbfuck white nationalist who mainly objects to war because he thinks those troops should be in America murdering minorities

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

While we’re rallying around Lander, who’s been a lock for my top 2 as long as he’s been in the race, I love this video he did about disability access on NYC transit
