Sorry I’m gonna be cringe, but I don’t find appropriating language describing actual horrible things practiced on animals as a joke to be funny. Our abuse of them has seeped into their very genetics, and playing off that fact without actually addressing that exploitation isn’t cool.

Purity politics implies that the standard we judge Musk by is rigid. But it’s not like we disagree with him on minutiae. He is a categorically reactionary person whose politics disrespect my very existence. There’s no need to judge by a “pure” standard when what you’re judging is sewage water.

I worry when liberals pull out the “Trump won because voters are dumb and don’t know about tariffs etc” argument, because they’ll be quick to point out issues endemic to the system we’re in (like mass disinformation) but be completely uninterested in actually confronting that system.

So far this platform seems more invested in *not* exposing the worst of humanity, which is, ya know, nice. And the culture forming around dealing with bigots is reassuring enough for me to put the trans flag in my name. So, cheers to y’all for making this my preferred method of doomscrolling!

Joy is resistance!

It’s a little sad watching my fellow trans folks, themselves victims of reduction down to our body parts, turn that sentiment around on turkeys, pigs, etc. as a means of celebration. Conforming to an oppressive system/holiday is not going to liberate us. Radical solidarity with the oppressed will.

As H5N1 Bird Flu (with a mortality rate of around 60%) becomes more rampant, an intelligent planetary society would come together & try & stop the spread & deal with the causes! Tomorrow, people will eat over 46 MILLION Turkeys in America for "Thanksgiving".

Some well-meaning person: look! I’ve curated a list of people who would say horrible things about you so you can block them! My self-harming ass:

If social media is so bad, then why do I have an incessant want to be perceived as smart and pretty by strangers on the internet, a want which I feel can only be satisfied by posting on platforms that are designed to never satiate that desire? Checkmate, liberals.
