Is Threads the worst social media ever

There is most definitely a war on Christmas’ start date

And suddenly three of my good friends are deciding to hear out queerphobes in the media they’re choosing to consume and I’m gonna have to confront them. Here we fucking go again

FOUR HOUR DEFUNCTLAND LETS GOOO

A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against “crime.”

Power imbalances inherently dehumanize people

Looking into this

I feel like when I tell this to progressive cishet people they don’t really take it seriously. But I would not have been able to come into myself and be who I am today without having uncensored internet access as a young teen. I wouldn’t have found safety or self-acceptance nearly as quickly

In the cases of queer and trans kids and teens, social media is actually frequently cited as a lifeline to being able to survive in oppressive transphobic and queerphobic communities and cultures. It’s an essential tool of connection, socialization, education, and yes, safety

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

What does a black hole taste like? You may think, surely, my tongue has long since perished in the sun, and even if not, if I’m anywhere close to a black hole, my tongue will surely be obliterated! But in fact, because of spaghettification, if you extend your tongue out to lick the black hole, it will be stretched out miles long, providing you a thorough taste of what’s going on!

My notes app. What the hell

This is why I follow this account. Fuck the nyt

Side-B stands for celiBussy

Cute as hell ✨

So important to not forget both what happened + what the prevailing feelings were while it was happening: OP was hardly alone, but this kind of reflection/memory and accountability is absolutely crucial. This, much more than being right, is the sign of a trustworthy comrade and friend

i spiraled over the fascists trying to pin the kirk shooting on us fearing it could even lead to pogroms but his death is already totally out of the news cycle. important to note when things don’t turn out as bad as they could, they’re not omnipotent

Scott: Jean, I want us all to be telepathically linked for this mission. Jean: Done. Scott: Bobby, I would prefer that this mission not be scored with the theme song from The Muppet Show. Bobby: Well you better get used to it because it’s been stuck in my head all week and I don’t think it’s going anywhere anytime soon.

If there hadn't been so many attacks on trans people existing, I probably would have had more time and energy to write academic articles and advocate around this issue that is squarely within my wheelhouse. Just a thought!

Not just a good point but a good explanation too 😭

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

basically i think that both “free speech absolutism” and appeals to the apparent paradox of tolerance’s “intolerance of intolerance” are bad faith attempts to trick progressives into accepting incoherent, absolutized substitutes for the values they actually hold.

I know I’m way too harsh on kid-me, but dang, I’ve been a lot more harsh than I thought 😵

Not only has this made me once again optimistic about writing, but it puts my past into a new perpspective.

Sure, I was stuck in a cycle of choosing my world over myself. But that’s because the cycle was a washing machine. The journey was so varied and turbulent I never knew which way was up!

I’m trying to write a memoir and I’ve been down about it bc it felt like every chapter was the same chapter - boy tries to be authentic but chooses the world over himself again.

Last night I did a one sentence summary for each of the first seven chapters and found they are actually quite varied! 🙌

Oh, really David? Okay well you try being adopted by cannibals in Paraguay and having to NEGOTIATE (in CANTONESE, David) your way out of that guy you dated (who was obsessed with me)‘s METH LAB with only fourteen pesetas and the timer nearly at zero, David. UGH

If you know the point that Harris is making and that she isn’t blameless, then why is Mehdi “point-scoring” and not underlying a real issue of dems ignoring Gaza and its advocates?

Y’all always defensively bring up “voters bad” whenever someone calls out democrat leadership. It’s not relevant here

Believing voters made a mistake is one thing but do y’all actually believe a prez candidate has 0 responsibility for failing, and nothing to learn? This thread is about democrat failures, not electorate failures. Juvenile point scoring is y’all missing the point (that Harris is making!) on purpose

Even Harris can say it and y’all still miss the point
