“private posts are good actually. also that’s not what the term vendor lock-in means.”

xenomorph 🤤

The Alien franchise is not cynical enough because the Weyland-Yutani corporation has yet to host a televised Battle Royale style game show pitting willing human contestants against a Xenomorph

I love that blacksky added a pronouns feature! @hailey.at any plans for implementing this on bluesky? 🏳️‍⚧️💜🏳️‍⚧️

No I’m thinking episodes of Sesame Street with their eyes taped open for like 48 hours straight

“You can’t call poor people lazy in America. Except for me. Cuz I’m brave.” Anyway this guy should be thrown in a reeducation camp

“This will never happen. Except how it’s a completely accepted and deeply held belief for the vast majority of Americans as they’ve been brainwashed by capitalist propaganda their entire lives”

“Another one of my more reactionary positions is the ultimate reactionary position. The kernel of reactionary thought through which all other reactionary positions emerge.

I guess you could say I’m absolutely a reactionary”

My DNA results are in. I'm 60% European and a combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.

debuting my @leaflet.pub blog, pet.heika.dog, with a post about colonialism in the atmosphere:

Page translated Dutch to English Undo NEWS There is more poison in baby food sold than expected. 'Be careful Food pollution Alarm bells rang when the toxic substance cereulide turned out to be in baby food. Recalls followed worldwide, France began investigating the deaths of two babies. Although the contamination generally seemed limited, a passing-on shows that the safe limit has been widely exceeded. Steven Frölke 9 February 2026 at 16:44 Reading time 4 minutes

h... how much poison is supposed to be in baby food?

[friends explaining the concept of a Valentine to me]

Them: So, if you like someone you give them a heart...

Me: *pulls out blade*

Them: ... shaped card.

Me: *puts blade away*

it’s not SNIK??!!?? wtf

Also addendum: trans folks can sometimes not recognise their own biases & toxic traits because they're too busy dealing with transness; unlearning things is a tonne of work

Just because you're part of one marginalized group, doesn't mean you don't have learning to do about other marginalized groups

I say this not to brag and, again, I fully acknowledge my privilege. I say this because, growing up, the best case scenario for trans women I saw was simply “survive”. Never thrive. And I was young trans girls to know they CAN be who they are AND live their dreams beyond that.

It’s funny to me how our haters treat us like a monolith and yet my experience as a trans woman is so wildly different from others.

wild to see a *non-clearable* AI upgrade banner in @slack.com that covers half the reading area

this is design gore

So a not too well known thing about me: I'm the co-author of the Client ID Metadata Documents internet draft that Bluesky / AT Proto uses for OAuth.

This document came about due to my work on Mastodon's OAuth implementation.

White folks: If you catch yourself defensively saying "I'm not racist," try adjusting that statement to "I had no intentions to be racist" and then try to figure out why your intentions and the outcome of your actions didn't match. Racist speech and actions don't require conscious intention.

ooh okay whoops

pantyfa goes crazy

i am aware, they’re still wrong lmao

One more thought about Bad Bunny.

If a performance is in Spanish and you don’t speak Spanish, there are two responses you can have.

A. Huh. I wish I spoke Spanish. That’d be cool. Maybe I should learn.

B. My lack of knowledge should dictate the decisions of others.

A is a more interesting life.

one of the (few) good takeaways from the failed indoctrination of an American political science degree is that rational just means somebody’s got desired outcomes in a preferential order and regardless of reasonableness that guide decision making

rational =\= not bugfuck nuts
