that's crazy. EA is so weird about their games. I'm not paying full price for the game but I'm happy to pay for like a month of EA Pro, but you can't get that through Steam, so all the stuff I unlocked in the beta is just smoke if I don't buy the game lmao

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

WHO SAVED THIS 😭

I would say I am generally very sex positive and pro kink but man the number of fucking diaper people I have to block on this platform because I just don't want to see strangers in diapers is insane. It's insane. I'm talking a few dozen people so far. Who knows how many more there will be.

I just think it's great to imagine a Midtown news team quietly putting together a print paper and then blasting it across the Long Island Sound into Connecticut with a t-shirt cannon

Michael Sarnoski suggests that some team of INCREDIBLY dedicated tabloid writers are still slaving over a print edition of NY Post at the Midtown News Corp. Building and distributing them as far as Connecticut, and if that doesn't ring true to the indomitable human spirit I just don't know what does

in A Quiet Place we see a NY Post article on Lee's workbench that says STAY SILENT STAY ALIVE (a subtle nod to the fact that AQP is set in an alternate universe where NY Post publishes factual info), then in AQP: Day 1 we're shown that Manhattan is a blown up wasteland as soon as apocalypse night 1

"Instead of Columbus, we should celebrate all Italian women for being so hot." this is a genuine thought I had this morning. I'm sharing it as an act of contrition. please do not get mad at me. please do not become passionately enraged with your fiery tempers and strike me with a heavily-ringed hand

i am literally never not tapping the "we need to fund public education and open the schools" sign. there is no moment or topic in which the dearth of basic reading comprehension is not a major force preventing any deeper discussion. a lot of people are functionally meat-based LLMs who parrot tokens.

so one of the things I’ve started to realize with having a notable following On Here is exactly how much of a reading comprehension problem we have in this country

What I'd love people to take from the Portland Frog (and the other inflatable costumes) is both that wearing an inflatable costume to a protest can create cool viral visuals AND that you need to just try shit.
