So just to be clear, it's a nonbinding resolution?

The problem is that they're also kinda right. They /can/ hurt us more than we can hurt them. We're the first ones on the chopping block. So they have more leverage.

The privileged white moderates of the Democratic Party believe that they own you. It's as simple as that. They get to dictate to you, you do not get to dictate to them. Because they can hurt you more than you can hurt them.

Newsome has literally told people who want to roll back trans rights that he agrees with them! Don't play stupid!

You've already acknowledged that you'd vote for a reactionary. Now you're just negotiating over how gauche a reactionary you're willing to vote for.

Wow, someone affiliated with *checks notes* Liberal Currents is willing to preemptively offer his vote to a transphobe who would gladly throw unhoused people into a meat grinder?

What a /shocking/ revelation.

I regularly reread the stuff in my archive that wasn't good enough to write more than ten-thousand words on if I can't find something else to read. I really don't think you have anything to worry about.

Or I'm a narcissist. That's always an option.

Nah, there's also festering resentment of the self and the perceived personal failures that supposedly led to the bullying leading to years of struggling with substances and depression. This country has so many other ways to destroy a person.

Though an N=1 study suggests estradiol treats the above.

The image features a gradient background transitioning from pink to blue. Text reads "Introducing the Trans Bill of Rights" with an icon of a paper and pen.

A colorful infographic titled "What is the Trans Bill of Rights?" outlines four points with icons: protections from employment and housing discrimination, equal access to medical treatment without discrimination, legal recognition of gender identity, and the right to use restrooms aligning with a person's gender identity.

ICYMI: I introduced my Trans Bill of Rights with @markey.senate.gov — legislation to defend trans people across this country as Republicans continue to push anti-trans rhetoric and bills.

To our beloved trans community: We see you, we love you, and we will always stand with you.

"The fact that it is the Burger King and not the Burger Queen implies that the role of domesticity - indeed, the ruler of the burger, a central element of American domesticity - is not constrained by binary gender roles within the American social context."

When we said "read another book" we didn't really mean "read the bible and then still keep citing the same mediocre children's novels", but I guess that's on us for insufficient specificity.

"Oops, I didn't actually write the code that does that because lmao" *bonks head and sticks tongue out* is just an overwhelmed junior developer with bad coping mechanisms, not revolutionary.

A roasted mirepoix demiglace? So, like an inferior veg stock reduction?

Why?

Hextech chests were Riot's implementation. Tencent had their own lootboxes prior to that.

I'm fairly certain the Tencent League of Legends client had lootboxes in 2013, when the conversation occurred.

Fwiw, he wasn't the first domino for microtransactions. That conversation happened well after a number of games had moved to microtransaction models and the largest computer game in the world at the time was making its money on microtransaction.

Resign, you out of touch hack.

Turning society over to VS2013 intellisense and auto-refactor because the manic rush of my code actually working on the first try has me convinced I am God.

While at Gawker, Hamilton Nolan wrote a disgusting article about Ava Cordero, a teenage trans girl who was an Epstein victim and one of the earliest whistleblowers on his proclivities.

And now that it’s irrefutable how their transmisogynist smear campaigns are part and parcel of how the American empire’s most important sex trafficking ring operates, we desperately need the world to look us in the eye, owe us a great, big apology and never forget that WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO!

Two for three - unconscionably orange snacks and corn syrup everything are a given. Bullets are a hypermarket thing. Never seen them in a supermarket.

They're going to keep grinding you down to nothing and replacing you with a college student in five years if you don't stand up for yourselves. Then they'll do the same thing to that kid. They've been doing it for decades now.

Disrupt the game industry. It needs to be disrupted.

Critically, I do not know what the penguin is.

I do not want to know what the penguin is.

My life is perfect without understanding the penguin.

Getting gender euphoria out of being absolutely baffled by this weird shit.

The... Bird is smoking? Okay? Sure. Have fun, dude.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”

That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

This makes me feel like my writing process doesn't include nearly enough getting rid of things. Though I wonder how much that has to do with the medium. Dyspraxia makes handwriting a painful experience for me, so I never use a notebook. Maybe I'd get rid of more if I did?

To the contrary, those people were warned about what this would mean, they chose to accept it, and if they do not feel shame over that fact then, quite frankly, they remain a threat to other people.

We're going to need to pursue denazification.

It shouldn't take an inspiring victim to arouse universal outrage at state violence. It shouldn't take a white victim. It shouldn't take a male victim. It shouldn't take a straight victim.

Once you're in that position, you've changed the dynamic of things into one where your only option as a state is hoping that you can induce the people who commit violence on your behalf to do enough violence to scare the streets into quiescence. And the option where you fail is very, very messy.

Well, that and the social contract of mutual nonviolence doesn't only protect the citizenry. Even with that contract strained by the violence of the general police state, murdering protesters in cold blood tends to be clarifying to citizens that reciprocity of norms is out the window.
