There’s a reason why no one keeps earthworms as pets: no one likes an invertebrate.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Kirby: THEY ARE STARVING PEOPLE ON PURPOSE. They are using racist tropes to justify it bc many people will find that persuasive. Everyone deserves to eat

I’m one for two with siblings: the cool sister sucked, and the PITA sister eventually dealt with it. Mom, who was a racist alcoholic, was stellar about my transition. Dad? Dead for decades.

23 Oct 2025 - Katelyn Burn's on how cis women are turning to same testosterone to improve their sex drive that trans men have to jump through hoops for. And they get the same estrogen for HRT being taken away from trans kids. Why is affirming care only good for cis ppl? @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

I shall be the Devil Girl, of course.

Luckily, it’s cumulative: it took me fifteen years to fill my smallest C cup.

Cover or remove the Nazi stickers ASAP, and be careful of hidden razor blades.

@susiebright.bsky.social I once heard you say that anonymous sex is impossible for lesbians because everyone near you knows one of your exes. This finally happened to me last night. On the one hand, it's validation. On the other, oy.

I’ve met a cheese smuggler. He’s all right.

Lo de que el 95% de las empresas del estudio no reporten beneficio alguno y que el 50% de los usos enfocados a código (donde se supone que funcionan mejor los LLM) son una chusta es demoledor.
