There's no croc like horse crocs

A pair of crocs that are designed to look like horses, with brown fur and a white nose, with a lock of blond hair. They are hideous to behold.

"People are just being nice instead of correcting you" is wild to say to someone about SOCIAL MEDIA of all things??

God honestly what a concise critique of the way even some trans/trans-friendly spaces will just find and replace stereotypes for "men" and "women" with "AFAB" and "AMAB".

Just read the article. The prosecution’s argument was “this man was obsessed with white supremacists and he targeted this man, who may have been a white supremacist but that’s not the point, for being a white supremacist.” Fucking insane.

Does anyone remember Pom Gets Wi-fi?? I feel like it was everywhere right before Undertale came out and then I never heard it mentioned again.

yeah only an idiot would care about 70,000 civilian casualties, clearly anyone upset at that number of deaths is just pretending.

an edited version of a tweet that originally said “people on here will tweet anything. “charlie brown had hoes.” no he didn’t. that isn’t true.”

it has been edited to read:

people on here will tweet anything. "johnny cash is considered uncool." No he isn't. That isn't true.

They get soooo mad that we can point to Israeli politicians saying blatantly prejudiced anti-Palestinian/anti-Arab things and they struggle to think of an example of a prominent pro-Palestine supporter being as hateful as them. It's projection!

My stupid useless brain tried to Google it and all i could find was that Mamdani keeps saying that Israel *does* have a right to exist. Maybe a genius like you can find an example!

Lmao the article cant even come up with an antisemitic statement from him to quote, it relies solely on speculation that a statement about all nations needing to be equitable is specifically antisemitic somehow.

The travel poster looked like so many others. A lush forest behind a serene beach. The text said "Be something exotic!"

"Sorry, there's a typo on your poster. I think you mean 'somewhere'?"

"No. We can make you to be, say, a bear, tiger, or hippo, for up to a week."

"A hippo? Tell me more!"

SCOTUS' defenders are making arguments for them since those justices can't even bother to explain what those distinctions are. They're deciding everything in their shadow- sorry, "emergency" docket and acting like it's disrespectful when other justices act like those decision are unclear or opaque.

These people aren't liberals. They're tech libertarians. It's important to understand that, it contextualizes everything they do

They do not have good morals, their ideology is about finding ways to exempt themselves from the concept of morality in favor of "no one is responsible to anyone else".

She is the COO en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chief_o... of bsky. This is worrying because after the 'we are turning waffles into an anti-trans thing' by the CEO the CEO started to follow a transphobe. Shows a pattern.

Wonder when we find out one of them follows the discovery institute.

Passing, but at what cost 😔

Me and a course mate sit and have lunch together. During conversation, he finds out that Im trans

I blush and ask him if he didn't notice anything before, hoping to receive compliments

He replies that all the details he noticed before, he chalked it up to me being italian

An overwhelmingly common reason people give for enjoying this type of work IS ITS SEPARATION FROM REALITY. People are ENJOYING A FANTASY, not planning their weekend. This deserves protection.
