I followed people who I followed on Twitter to start with, but for someone starting out without that I'd probably just search topics I'm interested in and go from there.

If you follow people whose posts actually interest you, I've found that checking out accounts they repost has been a good curation method.

That is to say that it's not just assholes using the word. My reply was not a defense of Blaire White.

Sounds about right, I didn't have the language for these kinds of ideas in the 2010's but that's about when I came of age. Then I didn't hear about it much until I discovered Blaire White and learned what problems people have with her, followed by the discovery that the lack of nuance is EVERYWHERE.

I do feel like I've seen "transsexual" come more into use a little bit more lately from within the community for this reason, at least among people I know.

I'm a fan of "the people's work."

Wait until they hear about the cocaine in our safe.

Maybe we have different ideas of what accountability means. I understand it to mean taking ownership of one's wrongs and making efforts to right them. Death and injury are neither of those things.
Wishing suffering on people as "deserved punishment" isn't justice, it's revenge fantasy.

And how did the people who were injured and killed vote?

Not everyone in that area is a Trump voter.

"The people served by that service" is more than just Trump voters.

Kentuckians are also finding out WITHOUT having fucked around. What is your point?

This attitude is so tired. Harris voters are also suffering the effects of Trump. Gloating over tragedy is not the way forward.

Once they round up the white "fake" Christians, maybe.

Is this what they mean by "color of law"?

It's okay, we've all done strange things as children.

I've heard of putting them in the freezer but this seems a bit excessive.

The actual statistic is that the average human swallows about eight credit cards in their sleep per year.

I suspect that most people don't have a passport.

You are not responsible for trying to educate every dumb asshole on the Internet. But you are responsible for having a little more empathy for other human beings who are no more inherently flawed than you. Being publicly gleeful about tragedy so you can say you told them so is vile behavior.

So you created a cron job for it at the top of every hour, right?

Sorry, I meant the original post not your reply.

The quote here is from the Tehran Times, not an official Iranian response.

That was a quote by the Tehran Times, not Iran.

I think you're vastly overestimating how much Tik Tok posts represent the majority of a group.

I think the point is that it is yet another sign of what's to come.

Maybe to underscore the exact point you're making, which is that political disagreement is not, and should not be, a crime.

It builds character.

Are you perhaps seeing the reactions of two different groups of people and conflating them with being the same exact people? I'd also like to float the idea that just because someone does something poorly doesn't mean they can't do better and be encouraged to do so.

I also read it that way.

Sooooo anyone who doesn't have the means to pursue higher education shouldn't be allowed to vote?

I wish people would think before they post.

My mother and brother live in SC and they certainly didn't vote for Trump either. Very disheartening to see people acting like this when we should be well beyond it.

I took issue with "one nation under God," at the time.

I got talked down to by a teacher in the classroom for doing the same thing in my senior year. She said I was disrespecting soldiers, as if that had anything to do with anything. 🙄

I'm glad people at least seem reasonably aware that block lists need to be taken with a grain of salt. Sometimes the whole damn shaker.

I work in a hospital and my supervising clinician noted to me that the Flu A vaccine doesn't seem to be covering it as well this year. They're sending positive results off for further evaluation.

Also, not all skin folk is kin folk. Not sure if the metaphor was intentional but that's how I saw it.

As someone who works in pharmacy, please, please, PLEASE do not fall for this. CVS treats their store-level employees like absolute dogshit.
