Meta literally created a LGBTQ exception for calling someone mentally ill as an insult. You can't do it for any other group except LGBTQ people.

The fun thing about having cPTSD from being perceived as Not Normal™️ (read: #ActuallyAutistic) is being triggered by someone and completely losing the ability to mask, then being repeatedly re-traumatised as a result! /s

I know it comes from a place of ignorance rather than intentional ableism, but autism doesn’t have a gradient of intensity, it is a matrix of traits that present in varying ways across different people. Please, STOP using terms like ‘mild’ or ‘severe’ - they’re harmful & misleading

I would like to say a word or two about lab coats. I have frequently heard that chemists should "always" choose 100% cotton lab coats. It's true, cotton lab coats are the best choice if you're going to work around open flame. HOWEVER.

It has snowed in Chicago and YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS! Time to remind everyone that we light our train tracks on fire to prevent the switches from freezing.

Companies will waste 84 minutes and 45 seconds of generated footage to get 15 seconds of uncanny valley and STILL get humans to noticeably edit it instead of just hiring animators.

Script for my half of the species to memorize in case of encountering a transphobe actively transphobing in a public restroom: "It's a bathroom. She's here to pee, same as us, and you're the one being weird. Just let her get about it and on her way."

Hey you, buy the precut fruit and veggies, no, I know it’s not cheaper, I can read, but you’re not going to go home and cut them and put them away like you said. You’re actually going to NOT eat them if they’re not pre-cut so you’re actually wasting money. You are welcome, I love you too.

He got ratio'd”

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

ok one more "how we do it on bluesky" re: "block, don't engage." it's not that anybody wants to tell you what to do -- it's that we collectively realized that this is what works. it works really great! zero, zero response needed. just block! don't argue at all with dickheads! try it! you'll see.
