Photo of an orange cat laying on a carpet. His front paws are tucked up by his face. He has a slightly derpy expression. There's a piece of cardboard on his head. Someone has drawn the golden ratio spiral over him and it fits really, really well

For what it’s worth, I find your threads to be really interesting and helpful and that you bring a perspective I don’t see elsewhere

I’m not surprised you get hate for it, unfortunately, but I always learn something from your discussions and hope (selfishly) you keep doing them

i think the correct way to think about the lonely boy question is not "how do we reach out to incels?" but "how do we make sure that a teenage boy looking for romantic advice isn't flooded with right-wing propaganda?"

It’s frustrating that someone who i think is absolutely the wrong person to lead is one of the few people in power who actually understand what we’re up against

A four panel comic titled Bird Sounds. In panel 1, labeled thrush, a wood thrush sings its beautiful eeohlay song against a forest background. In panel 2, labeled wren, a winter wren delicately sings tweedly tweedly tweedly. In panel 3, labeled warbler, a yellow warbler delicately sings sweet sweet. In panel 4, labeled heron in a death metal font, a heron screams KRAAGH against a background of fire.

β€œbanning pornography” is bad on its own but it is imperative that everyone understand that these people consider the very existence of queer people to be pornographic

they consider the most chaste depiction of a queer relationship, or an openly trans person, to be porn and they want it banned

Something I noticed in Bernie’s message about Epstein is that he mentioned Bill Clinton, and not only should Democrats not be afraid of the that link, they should be rushing to make it themselves bc it’s real hard to defend Trump if everyone else is going β€œwhy would I cover up for a guy on my side?”

Starting to learn some Terraform basics through managing my personal GitHub account with it

Setting up a private test repo was pretty easy and has me excited to dig in deeper

Daniel Lawson @DanielLaw1998: Disabled parking should only be valid during business hours 9 to 5, Monday to Friday. 

I cannot see any reason why people with genuine disabilities would be out beyond these times.

We’re disabled, Daniel, we’re not werewolves

7 years later and I still whisper, β€œWe’re disabled, Daniel, not werewolves” to myself like a sacred mantra whenever I see a non-disabled person discover ableism like it’s the latest hipster indie band.
