Nevertheless, she persisted, bitching the entire way. Queer, neurodivergent, frequently hyperbolic, kind of odd. Doesn't owe you an argument. She/her. @Jezi_Belle at the old place.

This Tumblr user summarizes something I've been feeling/doing lately. Against everything going on, it somehow feels helpful.

User homoquartz writes: as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now."
Small talk isn't to get to know a person. It's just a greeting to affirm you're buddies in the universe. I am motivated by wanting the other person to know I am friendly, so I have gotten pretty decent at small tall when I used to hate it.

Hi hello did you know that Elon Musk's third Neuralink patient (previously nonverbal) is "getting help from Grok" to communicate

and I hope -- I REALLY HOPE -- he's not stuck in his own brain listening as a robot talks for him without his input because this, to me, would be worse than death

This patient’s Neuralink brain implant gets a boost from generative AI

A patient who types with his brain thanks to a Neuralink implant is using AI chatbots to speed things up.

His health is the sword hanging over my entire life right now and I hate it. And I know he hates it too and hates being so sick.

I just hope whenever he does pass that it's gentle and peaceful.

To quote a great poet of our times, some people are only happy when it rains.

I left this thread at "this person is too depressed to believe trans people can be happy, that's sad" and come back to whatever THAT was.

guards ignore—but are trained—that withdrawal is a life threatening condition, and ignoring someone in withdrawal is both deliberate and indifferent

the fact that they were *wrong* about this person’s emergency doesn’t make their conduct any less deliberate or indifferent

A lawsuit alleges a Black postal worker died after officers ignored clear signs he was suffering from a massive stroke, believing his medical emergency was drugs

The suit says guards left him helpless on a jail cell floor in his own urine for hours

This is a good question: will Mamdani be the first NYC mayor who likes NYC?

dr. hazel 🐝 @hazelmonforton.com · 22h

I think the main refreshing thing about Mamdani, for me, is that he actually likes New York City and wants to see it thrive for everyone.

"throne" should be "rhymed" I have no idea what my phone did there

Jezi Helle 👹 @jezibelle.bsky.social · 22h

A favorite song of my youth throne "ill," "give," "will," "feel" and "him" and it was truly impressive

Also "broke up" and "shoulder"

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I accidentally blew up my ElvUI install and I can't decide whether to try and fix it or just drop it since it's dying in Midnight anyway.

The belief that working class white conservatives will unite with the left over class issues is pervasive even among liberals. They aren't angry at elites for the same reasons we are. Theyre mad at them because they blame them for creating and enabling the left.

RPGs are one of the most satisfying types of video games to finish in general - that's right, my ragtag band of heroes DID save the world - but it's astounding how much more satisfaction an epilogue adds

give me slides! letters! cute little cutscenes! let me see how I affected people!
