I have been telling myself that because I am not becoming a doomer, this place is not cooking my brain Being around the relentless, impotent misery here is obviously doing me no favors and I'm going to log out for...a time

If you're going to argue for the normalization of fascism in the US, its not going to be in my feed or in my mentions

People saying this simply don't act like this is true! If you think it's over, there's no point criticizing the exact phraseology Obama uses

If Juneteenth is ‘fraught,’ it’s because black freedom has always been ‘fraught.’

"Proof, please, stop. It's not all psychosexual, you can't just say all bad politics posting is psychosexual, you sound insane"

Guy who interprets, "The union's role is to make sure HR/management follows its own policies" as a threat is a very real genre in representation and I never feel sad seeing them get a plan

Happy Juneteenth! In my opinion the best holiday for celebrating America, remembering the day when we finally started to make good on the promise that all people are created equal. Still a long way to go but we'll get there together.

It brings me no pleasure to say arguing about metal sub-genres was a load-bearing institution

I've mostly stayed out of "bsky is dying" discourse, but one group of people who think its here to stay are racist Tweeters who come here to nutpick

I'm going to also highlight that she self-identifies as "neurospicy" Now, I don't mean to sanction blanket ableism here, but there is countervailing trend where people will be like, "My catastrophizing is an integral part of my personality" and that is absolutely what is happening here

Reverse chronological is an algorithm the way water is a chemical

Every trans person I've ever met is worth more alive than a martyr to "the cause", and if you are reading this I am certain you are no exception
