@michaelhobbes.bsky.social @yrfatfriend.bsky.social you're on the door of the bathroom in the bar im drunk at . congrats ! 👏

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity.

"What service is Microsoft providing?"

Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

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?"

If you can afford to put people in jail for being homeless, you can afford to just give homes to people who need them.

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

Cartoon monster lady, Sue, in a "Don't Stop Calling T-shirt, pointing at a personification of "puritan activist groups" looming over a personification of "payment processor" Sue's Dialogue: YOOHOO! These motherfuckers think they can pick and choose what you do with your own money. You wouldn't let them do that, would you?

Hey if you hate censorship and want to do more than just doompost online, you can actually do something: Being annoying!

Hoards of people have been blowing up the phones of payment processing companies to pressure them not to bend to the whims of puritan groups.

Can I just say how fucking ridiculous it is that queer and nsfw art is more heavily regulated than the fucking plagiarism machine destroying our planet that is genAI

if you're like, HUNDREDS tho? please image search "oleander aphids milkweed" and observe how they assemble to conduct their ravaging.

to be clear, i did the murdering with gloves on. but then a huge mosquito landed on my bare leg and i reflexively smacked it very hard... with the hand wearing a murder glove, freshly imbued with dead bugs.

since i can't use any type of soap or blasts of water to get them off, due to potential risk to other pollinators, i have to....... manually squish them.

which is why yesterday, i accidentally painted my bare skin with the blood and guts of hundreds of oleander aphids. hope i don't die.

An excerpt from the web comic, Hyperbole and a Half: An illustrated person, in a slightly elevated stick-figure style, stands alone against a white background. They're wearing a grey, dirty hoodie, a pink skirt, and olive green boots. By their side, a forest green backpack hangs limply from their weak grasp. The person's facial expressions is blank; we are meant to understand they're having a nervous breakdown.

me vs. the oleander aphids destroying all the swamp milkweed i planted for the monarch butterflies

and this doesn't even touch on how floods are not all we have to fear!!! if you live in chicago i don't know how you can deny the record breaking tornado season we just went through!

you keep talking as if a perfect utopia exists that everyone should migrate to, but it doesn't!

I am also disabled and have moved many times, albeit not internationally. I am not fucking concern trolling, I am trying to tell you that your solution to this issue is not a one-size-fits-all, and if that's your ONLY solution, it will leave many behind.

like let us not forget, this is how you OPENED the conversation. slinging ableist slurs and blaming people for their own suffering. how is that not offensive?!

I'm not suggesting that. You continue to put words in my mouth. I *am* suggesting that calling people, who you now seem to have so much ~compassion for, DUMMIES for becoming climate crisis victims while refusing to offer any nuance is rude, offensive (your fav word!), and ultimately useless.

I am still waiting for you to say what I have lied about, using my exact actual words and not your own weird assumptions. 🤷‍♂️

Especially the disabled, sick, and poor among us. Mass, continual migration would only not leave anyone behind if TPTB enabled and assisted with that, and we know they won't.

Sure, it won't affect everywhere equally. True. But over time, it will affect everywhere. A place you deign safe to live may not be in 10 years. If we follow your logic, everyone in the world should migrate continuously. Can you really not see the logistical challenges with that?

I have lived in the midwest my entire 30+ years (Missouri and Illinois) and Cid is correct. Please explain what about their comment is so "off."

you keep switching up your attack because you cannot engage me seriously on any one thing. you haven't answered allie's question about where to move because you can't admit your first take was reductive at best. i would have a nuanced convo with you but you are refusing to have it.

you also seem to be of some extreme privilege or sheltering if you think that—even if people didn't waste time selling their homes and left them—people could move across the country for uhhh free apparently? you don't talk like someone with any basis in reality. so that's where i will leave you! ❤️

i don't believe you even care about the climate crisis. you just wanted to feel smug so you dunked on people in some gross attempt to establish yourself as someone on a moral high ground. you have not said one intelligent thing. you are not serious about this.

3) pointing that out doesn't mean we are denying the climate crisis. i'm trying to make you aware that it's cruel to blame individuals for their own suffering & death when it is corporations and governments who created this crisis. 4) so better to redirect our resources at fighting THEM than moving.

okay dude. i will cut the chase here for you. 1) we understand the climate crisis acutely. we get its severity and that it is a GLOBAL issue. 2) since it is a GLOBAL issue, telling people to "jUsT mOvE!" is fairly useless advice bc, per allie's example, nowhere is exempt from the horrors.

allie don't you see, you're a "dummy" for not being able to time travel back to ancient rome! 😂

Lol you really think you owned me here. Fascinating.

Also where did I say it's not dangerous? You are fully putting words in my mouth.
