The ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center are both in the fray and in need of our support. It’s really important right now to support our pro-Democracy institutions.

As long as no one learns anything from this, I think we'll be A-Okay

"this young man, who once chopped through a wall in his own house with a fire ax as a bit, is now saving trans lives by subjecting himself to 24 unbroken hours of Donkey Kong 64 on livestream"

While also successfully ending the career of a notorious plagurist with a thermonuclear bomb drop of an expose that lasts about as long as a lord of the rings extended cut

If someone has spent their life trying to elevate themselves above people, you cannot trust that person.
If someone labels themselves Cum Goblin, they know exactly what ground they stand on, and are likely to help their fellow goblins.

Power corrupts. Cum doesnt.

fopling.bsky.social•104 days ago

"power corrupts, cum doesn't" are words to live by.
A pretty good anti purity culture statement too

yeah, there's a good reason why I adapted to the existence of covid pretty well.

After reading about history, it dawned on me just how crazy this world can really get.

wooster182.bsky.social•113 days ago

Do you have any reading recommendations?

afoxoffiction.bsky.social•113 days ago

Huh, well not just any one source.

When I cut my teeth on reading history, I started a bit with https://Cracked.com articles.

I found a bunch of weird and fascinating bits about history there.
As for books, the latest thing I've been reading is Yakuza: Japan's Criminal Underworld by David E. Kaplan.

The New York Times and Washington Post are toothless apologists while Teen Vogue stands bold and unafraid

1,200 IT people in their late 30s making Waluigi noises in chat so people can get life saving reproductive care (positive)

The kind of charity that I can get behind since it's centered around an idea of community instead of turning the charity itself into a spectacle to prop up one specific guy as the "charitable king"

Jacob Geller did a live stream this year that raise 64.9K for the Palestinian children’s relief fund. It was so cool.

detritohumano.bsky.social•104 days ago

Jacob Geller is such a great guy. I loved his Golem video

That's right

i love da cum goblinz

ilmariwalker.bsky.social•116 days ago

but how can Da Cum Goblinz effectively help people without spending an 80% overhead for a C-suite of failed politician consultants that call for another round of annoying donation messages?

I think about what AOC was asking about the other day on here, I think very earnestly, like "what do we do? how do we go forward?" and the Democrats are essentially not doing anything while a bunch of weirdos and internet goblins are like "well, we can at least raise money" and are lapping them.

magicrectangle.bsky.social•104 days ago

Should’ve been raising money to run decent people for office all over the country starting years ago

nullconvention.bsky.social•104 days ago

Not at all, raising money to run for office is largely wasted money.

magicrectangle.bsky.social•104 days ago

A lot of people exist who otherwise might not exist thanks to tax-funded advances, every time those get pulled away people die. Why does this fundraiser need to happen to begin with? Political shit

nullconvention.bsky.social•104 days ago

You're missing the point and talking about something entirely different than what I'm talking about.

feels like making the rat-shit suits eat shit for forcing money on us :P

anwyn.bsky.social•116 days ago

Honestly, I'm here for it!

well well look who needs cum goblins after all

You absolutely do not have to hand it to gamers but playing Desert Bus and Donkey Kong 64 has done more good in the world than every US politician living or dead combined.

... A gay hedonist bear taught me about community networking and activist resources earlier today soooo.

Yup, the skeet rings true. No lies detected.
