Bad Bunny’s closing messages during his Super Bowl performance:

“The only thing more powerful than hate is love”
“Together, we are America”

Some people prefer their dandies foppish, some people prefer them rakish. I'm not going to judge.

I think a lot about how 20 million people losing their AIDS medication generated less outrage than college kids being annoying about a poorly made banh mi sandwich.

It seems bad that “bigot” is literally an institutionalized profession.

A mid-century family sitting on the porch steps. The man is wearing a camp collar shirt with a flapped pocket (collar and flap have a distinctive shape). he pairs them with fuller cut pants and leather shoes.

Some people standing around. Photo is from the mid-century. Man has a knitted polo and full legged, pleated pants.

Have you ever noticed that people dressed better in the past? Even in the summer, when it was scorching hot?

Why is this? 🧵

I can't articulate this well at the moment, but it feels like a lot of our problems stem from the concept of organization becoming female coded and therefore considered kinda gay by society at large.

This man is your friend. He fights for freedom. Jovial fat white ethnic goofy dad support is how we go mainstream.

It is the moral obligation of every human to never ever buy women's pants until companies stop making them

My sister is one pants size up from me. She passed off some gently used clothes to me. The shirts fit okay, but I couldn't wear any of the pants cuz no belt loops + none had pockets ofc 🙄

There's some other stuff I have to do first before I can transition anyway, so it'll be a while before I get a single surgery. But. Maybe it's time to start T

I just dunno about my bf. He's straight but even if we aren't dating, I still want to live with him. But I just don't think that just living with him is possible after I've been his "gf" for so long

I dunno. Either way our relationship will change irreparably. And I wish it didn't have to.

My coworker who has been at her job for the longest out of my whole department has quit. I am now the most productive member of my team and am basically the backbone of my dept

I can safely come out as trans now if I wanted and face no repercussions :) if they want to keep me around, anyway

When you're under threat, the first thing that comes to mind is "I've got to scuttle off back to my hole". But hang on - if you do that they're going to find your hole. NOT good!

When things get boring at work I leave the box for a pregnancy test by the sink in the ladies' toilet at work. It never fails to get people talking. Is someone trying? Is someone worried? Who? I'm 51 now, so it obviously can't be me.

I mean, obviously dysphoria and depression and suicide are all real and awful, but frankly, I think “I just felt like it, fuck you” should be reason enough for transition in a free society.

Like, I had moments when I was a kid. But nothing that solidified into an entire alternate identity by itself until I got to adulthood and realized how much I hated everything about myself. And once I eliminated external factors (self esteem, bad fashion sense), there wasn't any other answer

When all your other mental health issues are mostly stable or gone, but you still think about suicide too much, you have to face the mirror.

Then you realize you hate your body. And the only mental image of a body you wouldn't hate for yourself is [opposite sex]. And you can't ignore that forever

I didn't criticize it lol. I just know from experience the vast majority of people Google 'study that agrees with me' and link the first result that pops up without reading any article. I could do that myself. If someone is sending me something, I expect it to be something they've read.

Are video games and TV rotting children's brains too? Stop liking things just because they agree with your opinion especially when you couldn't even answer basic questions about an article/study

Not reading a random article that someone links on the internet isn't anti-intellectualism. Thanks for confirming that the article isn't complete bunk before I spend time on it, though. I'll probably read it tonight. The studies still might be, but that remains to be seen.

Is it peer reviewed? What's the sample size? Has it been replicated? Who did the study?

One study doesn't give us anything. One study is holding up the entire anti-vax movement. Please don't display anti-intellectualism while criticizing others for being dumb

If it wasn't AI now it would be asking Google 10 years ago. No one goes through their life being intelligent and competent then magically forgets how the world works when they see AI. I've worked in customer service for years. The average person just doesn't understand reality.

This is a great example of how conservative grievances are with society overall rather than government. It’s not even like a teacher told her; another student did! The only way around it is to police society so much that no child anywhere could learn about lesbians from anywhere and tell their kid.
