I know I absolutely did - it's frikkin Batnip 🖤🦇🖤

My partner feels similarly: "I'm not always able to Identify my own husband on sight if he’s just had a hair cut, and you think humans have successfully Identified every flying object ever seen?" 😂

Did to me! I love the two-world concept and I feel like I know which world I (and you, and Aiden) prefer 😂🦇

I can think of a few from just the music world, but Morrissey and Ye feel like two particularly obvious ones

Pistorius is a GREAT shout

Love it! My wedding was... Well the service was in a smol government office because spouse's social anxiety goes brrr, but the reception was a cabaret in a nightclub because that was a venue type that wouldn't lock us into their own catering of expensive Noms I Can Not Has!

*their, FWIW :) (Aiden, meanwhile, takes they/them or he/him)

Hope you enjoy! Am very happy to know both and to have collaborated with Aiden in the past <3

It absolutely sucks when songs that you'd otherwise extremely like send you into the Valley of Misophonia whenever you listen to them 😭

(This is me with "Strange Fruit" but it's the brass rather than the voice that gets me with that 🦇)

Absolutely, and the time is now

Oof size: overflow error

That is truly "impressive" (derogatory)

I know plenty of people who've changed first names but every single one that springs to mind is some form of cisn't

They're arguably governing closer to Reform than the Greens, so...

And if the question was "is there a retained advantage from unwanted male puberty that survives post-HRT?" then the very fact she was competing post-transition in an Oops! All Times sport made her an ideal n=1 sample for exactly that!

I thought I was (almost, at least) the only one who's had that happen to me!!

I love seeing this! Funnily enough as I was thinking about trans voices in general and recalled you telling me about the affirmation you found in how "Patrick (Stump) is totally my range" 😂

Since everyone is rightly shitting all over FIFA + Infantino for the awful Trump spectacle, it’s time to also highlight their depravity in partnering w/Saudi Aramco (world’s #1 oil firm) and giving 2034 World Cup to 🇸🇦 (absolute monarchy that harshly oppresses women + LGBTQ+, abuses/kills opponents).

Beyond offering simple services to estimate your age, Persona's exposed code compares your selfie to watchlist photos using facial recognition, screens you against 14 categories of adverse media from mentions of terrorism to espionage, and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships to combat online child exploitative material, cannabis trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, romance fraud, money laundering, and illegal wildlife trade. Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches, such as by matching your face to politically exposed persons (PEPs), and generating risk and similarity scores for each individual. IP addresses, browser fingerprints, device fingerprints, government ID numbers, phone numbers, names, faces, and even selfie backgrounds are analyzed and retained for up to three years.

Like whatever the average normie Discord user THINKS age verification looks like behind the curtain, I promise you this is not it.

A visual from WPRI that says "TRAVEL CONDITIONS: TONIGHT AND MONDAY." Below is a schedule showing three-hour intervals from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. The first is labeled "FAIR." The second is labeled "POOR." The following five are labeled "TERRIBLE."

This feels like a meme template.

Jesus, really?

Come on, Substack people, get off that fetid pile of trash, now.

If you see this post a monster

This is lovely!

Here's a British... Not exactly equivalent but it has something of the same energy and just the "has a huge basement ready to renovate" makes me dream of it because I would turn that into the Shiny Bat Cave www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...

a man wearing sunglasses and a black shirt is dancing in front of a black background and says you . Alt: Soulja Boy dancing, pointing fingers down denoting "YOUUUUUUUUUU"

Fascists shitting on body autonomy: "why is nobody having sex?"
People recognising the actual consequences of these actions:

That is quite a Stimmy pattern whatever else it is!
(Responding in autistic ace-spectrum 😂)

Arguably there's now a three-way split on the court:
The fascist judges (Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh)
The anti-fascist judges (Jackson, Sotomayor, Kagan)
The stonks judges (Roberts, Gorsuch, Barrett)

a man with his arms crossed stands in front of a stock chart with the word stonks on it Alt: A man in shirt and tie with his arms crossed stands in front of a mess of numbers representing stock prices, over which is superimposed an upward-pointing arrow and "stonks," and sticks his thumb up.

Three-way split on the court: the actual justices, the ones who vote for whatever Orange Fascist wants, and the ones who vote for whatever they think helps line go up

(But learning to belt was definitely a gamechanger in that regard, it was just tricky because between my anxiety over hurting my voice and the Bat Problems with being as loud as I needed to be...)

I don't have an answer but it feels wild to me as an elder Millennial that this answer isn't "basically everyone?" because it certainly felt like absolutely everyone in the 2000s! To the point that I think it distorted my own perception of my voice...

I know it's beating a dead horse, but this is why they like AI so much, and why generative AI is a tool of fascism. It takes the aesthetics of culture developed by actual creatives and bastardizes it to suit their own depraved worldview. They can never create because they hate the act of creation

I feel like whatever winter sport you tried your hand at your biggest sticking point might be the problem of having to deal with the entire competition area being bright white #BatuallyAutistic

Are you a school or university that is having budget shortages? Guess what: You can stop paying for AI.

Really.

Tighten that belt.
