exactly what i was thinking

quick, does anyone have free so we can save him

i certainly didn't expect the second panel, but i love it. happy halloween!

i think normalizing calling out unapologetic fascists is a good thing, actually. hot take i know

i hate it when people do the "but people use the word a lot so it has no meaning". i'll be generous and assume you're saying this in good faith.

okay, so i can define what a nazi is for you. if a person shares ideological beliefs with the (historical) nazis, they're a nazi.

i love those silly scenarios in games where there's a dissonance between "how scary the enemy looks" and "how scary the enemy is"

when you're not a good cook but luckily you can full combo through the fire and flames

not that i'm asking you (or anyone) to fill in those blanks, i guess i'm just lamenting the fact that it feels at times very difficult to understand this experience, being completely on the outside

this is something i feel like i barely have the language for. i'll never fully understand that experience, for better or worse, because it isn't one i share. it feels like the best i can do sometimes is listen to those that can share their own experiences, but it's sadly not common...

i couldn't ask her to do it again, knowing what she would endure along the way. i couldn't ask anyone to do that. i'm very grateful that she did survive, and gave me the chance to find myself.

my younger self, on top of gender dysphoria that would last her entire childhood, also had to deal with parental abuse and not having many healthy relationships. i don't like to think about it, but sometimes i think it's a minor miracle that i ever got this far.

that's so girlboss of you

i agree. i just don't agree that *that* is what an effective resistance to fascism actually looks like.

maybe that's just my optimism not liking this best of a very bad situation solution. maybe i am right, and there is a less dangerous way. i don't know. i will admit i'm not smart enough for that.

do you believe it can get worse? trump is not a smart person. he would absolutely hurt everyone a lot to hurt his enemies a little. and, i'm not convinced whoever he orders to execute us would decide not to follow those orders, with the risk it poses to their own safety.

but states already have the right to be invaded by fascists! and on top of that, this right may also be invoked involuntarily for their convenience!

this would instantly spark a civil war basically. i don't honestly think that's a great idea.

it's a bit weird imo to suggest that someone might actually be wrong about their assertion that they don't have autism based on vibes you get from social media. and anyway, i would imagine that it's rare for someone to wrongly conclude that they aren't autistic, versus not being sure either way

this post aged like milk and it's only ten hours old. that's pretty impressive, honestly

jimmy kimmel should have the right to be unfunny and a bit spineless in general. if his show wasn't canned before, nothing should have been able to cause it to be now.

thinking about this makes me feel lots of emotions and all of them are negative. i think you're onto something though, unfortunately

the pessimist in me says that it would be very nice for a lot of people if we believed words were all it took to shake trump's resolve.

it might be impossible to prove, but remember that democrats and the media are, even if they disagree with it, still devoted to the system, and will protect it.

don't mistake this for support. they're likely fine with imposing practical limitations on our ability to own guns, just not so blatantly. if you've ever seen laws against guns made out of certain metals, for example, those are designed to prevent people with low income from opening a gun.

coolest person named lily that lives at your address

bitlocker is enabled on new installs of windows 11 iirc. i definitely have some capital O Opinions on it. it *can* be helpful if you know what it is and how to use it, but it can also be equally harmful if you don't.

i am mad that i laughed at this lol

i have seen a lot of signs in the US that say "smile, you're on camera!" and i am very upset that i correctly guessed that this is what that sign says.

there's something that feels really wrong to me about dressing up what is effectively a threat.

currently strongly considering moving here, since my mastodon instance probably won't be coming back any time soon and it's frankly easier lol

this is *definitely* where trans people come from.

self... l-oOh... l-Ohh... l-oOhv-ee?

oh! you mean self-loathe! don't worry about me, i mastered that one already.

this is so sweet!
