The idea that trans women are men or that trans men are women falls apart pretty quickly when they're your actual close friends. When you know them.

Fascinating that these party movements meant to keep people dumb and pliable continue to use slogans that assert their support of being dumb and pliable. amazing that they declare themselves against being woke. That their followers hear this and say, "yes! Being woke is bad!" Dumb. Pliable. Asleep.

When Musk was going to be forced to buy twitter I immediately deleted my account. The pure freaking stupid smug joy this gives me years later when it has become what I knew it would, and people have now mass exited it, is really incalculable, and points to me being a pretty terrible person.

Almost always people with privilege experience challenge to that privilege or loss of that privilege as abuse. This is true in interpersonal dynamics and larger societal ones. If you find yourself uncomfortable, sit with it. Ask yourself where you feel threatened. I'm not kidding.

I know that a lot of people are feeling lost and unsure what to do. I also know most of us exist in the hellscape of end stage capitalism where we don't have the ability to do much Might I suggest following @darlenacunha.bsky.social on her mission to do one small thing a day to give yourself ideas?

About to lose my entire shit at Healthcare workers who exclusively focus on extension of life over quality of life. Especially and specifically without discussion of both with the patient.

Looking at these cabinet picks, it's clear that chaos isn't a ladder, it's a fucking escalator.

I can't follow the people who post a hundred or more times a day. Y'all eat my feed. New rule: if you post more than @pattonoswalt.bsky.social , I'm not reading all that, but I'm happy and or sad for you.
