FACT: openly expressing love and joy and compassion and affection are meaningful virtues in the fight against fascism.

I think "financialize everything and create a tradable asset out of any difference in opinion" might be the worst thing I've ever read

the competition is strong but it's a real contender

yuri between a robot girl and a trans girl who protect each other

nearly got tboned by a guy running a red light 👍

anyways ban all cars. put all of them into a crushing cube. imprison every driver.

I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice

i don't get the love for waymo in certain urbanist circles. it's safer cars, at least it seems that way from available data, but it's more cars. more cars are bad! we should want less cars!

if all the people who thought this way disappeared the world would be unequivocally better in every way

is this good

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

I am well aware that they are and will continue to do massive damage to this country

but does it feel like they’re on a glide path to successful authoritarian consolidation anymore? I submit that it does not

i think its quite eye opening. in a sense trans women & trans people in general are by no means exceptional and many are of course complex and flawed people but there is something about moving beyond cisness that gives someone access to a self-consciousness and subjectivity that is enlightening.

its different. its a bigger world. its harder, but the reward is a more full life. a life that wasnt prescribed to you by the circumstance of your body or birth. its true freedom and i wouldnt have it any other way

in retrospect the metoo movement did not go too far and in fact should have been given spanish inquisition levels of power and authority

not the main point of those emails at all but good lord are they all dreadful writers. spaces before and after commas? criminal

Seen a few of the epstein emails now, all with different people and it's not the main issue here but is everyone illiterate

an image of a purple triangle that is an edit of maslov's hierarchy of needs which says "full body contact hugs" however the image i grabbed is not actually legible as the meme so i made the triangle purple and also added the title in the top corner because otherwise this is basically just a triangle which i think maybe actually could be legible abstractly if you just present someone with a labeled triangle but the color purple might be essential. anyway, hugs are nice

i want a Chicago 1950 map for subway simulator just for the sake of not having highways and mostly being pre urban renewal

the feminine urge to emotionally develop more over 3 years as a sapphic woman than over multiple decades as a dysphoric husk of a man

We Have Enough Dead Friends By Lena Oleanderson Come over. The doors are open, my flat's a mess and so is my heart but the doors are always open. Come over. I will make soup, probably from frozen but the important thing is we will both eat. You don't have to be dying, but if you are, or you feel like you are, or if living's been hard, call me, and I will show up. It doesn't have to be that bad, it doesn't have to be bad at all, but if it is, please call. Do you want me to do the groceries? Do you want me to mop the floors? Do you need to be held; you don't have to be dying to be held. If you want me to be there, I want to. I'm on the bathroom floor again, and breathing is hard, and eating's been hard, and sleeping, the world is a laden thing rolling around on my chest lately. Just being alive is heavy tonight, but we have enough dead friends. Come over.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.

I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

this has been my general policy throughout life and it’s sometimes felt wildly personally embarrassing especially when other people don’t click with that vibe, but having seen people disappear in the least likely, most unexpected, most unfixable ways, i’ve never hedged my bets here & never will.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

i owe so many video game designers an apology

A white on black typewritten note that reads: if you are reading this, you survived this week. that's a huge win. we're proud of you. stay safe, sleep well, be kind.

like here's the thing: all buses are literally net negative emissions, literally you would be hard pressed to find a mode of transportation that's worse than personal vehicles emissions-wise

a steam locomotive literally has fewer ghg emissions than a Prius per capita

i love being a slutty poly t4t tranny

"trans social spaces are filled with the expectation of sex" oh you mean unlike straight social spaces ? as a completely different thing from the cishet social spaces that have no expectation of sex whatsoever, particularly from the women

transsexuality's strongest soldier

Y’all remember that scene in Andor when they recruited two former stormtroopers into their little group, and one of them tried to betray the cause for a little improvement in material comfort? That’s the idea.

The merit of being prior service doesn’t entitle them to trust; the opposite, infact.

first of all no. second of all fuck you
