What a great pairing.

I should obey and join the navy.

Yeah there’s so much I could get into about things like this that bug me but I’m worried I’ll veer into old lady yelling at cloud territory

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 19h

Literally why I shifted to more frozen veggies and freeze dried fruits to mix into yogurt and such.

It’s worth noting that the centrist white cis elements of the gay rights movement tried as hard as they could to exclude Sylvia and other trans WOC, to the point where Sylvia had to literally grab the mic and demand space for her voice at pride events.

Sound familiar to present day folks?

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.

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

I just read that James Gunn wanted to do a short Deadpool cameo in Peacemaker season 2.

It would’ve been funny but I’m glad it didn’t happen only so I don’t have to hear repeated insistence that the MCU and DCU are the same multiverse for the rest of my life for a 3 second gag.

This looks fucking great

If any of y’all run into my ex (Agatha) tell her I said sorry

Los Feliz. If people pronounce it correctly then I know they’re new. Or stubborn.

Merriam-Webster @merriam-webster.com · 3d

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Republicans have had 15 years to come up with an Obamacare replacement plan. They still haven’t

Tell that to the rest of the internet, Chris! Cause that’s not how people utilize it!

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 2d

You made the joke and when I told you it was misgendering you argued with me and told me it wasn’t because JJGo said so. Which you just doubled down on here. I’m making it clear here that I want no further interaction with you.

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 2d

As opposed to my NFL example of a fandom famously free of bigotry

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 2d

Unrelated to this topic, but I blocked you on Instagram for misgendering me and arguing with me about it. Why would you decide to follow me and start responding to me here?

I just saw a post get shared like “what would you do if you met someone perfect and then found out they were a Disney Adult” and the replies were so vitriolic. It was crazy.

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t get why there’s this much vitriol about this particular fandom versus like, idk, an NFL team?

Like I just love a theme park and it’s the best one in my area and has fun history elements to it’s evolution.

I’m a Disney Adult but I like to think I’m “one of the good ones.” Still I cringe whenever I see posts about Disney Adults go viral.
