Yo! I'm babelglyph. I wear ridiculous things, mainly #LolitaFashion but sometimes cosplay, steampunk, vintage, or whatever else floats my boat. My two core fashion philosophies are "pay your bills then buy frills" and "shitpost hard, coord harder". Here are a few of my recent outfits!

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

Just how morally, ethically, intellectually bankrupt do you have to be to argue that 15-year-olds can sell sex but can’t affirm gender

this is why Barbie (2023) is a meaningful movie to me. It's not just the pink, it's not just that one famous monologue, it's the whole thing. Da Pope has it right. I can and will defend slowness when it serves a purpose.

Yes, THAT Pope.

Can confirm! I switched to left numpad for playing my favorite MMORPG (Guild Wars 2) in January. It's fantastic. I'm never going back :D
아까 MMORPG 용 키보드라고 한 거... 비슷한 게 키크론에서 나온 왼쪽에 넘패드가 있는 96% 레이아웃 키보드가 있는데 진짜 딱 왼쪽 넘패드에다가 스킬 단축키 다 넣고 하면 좋긴할 거 같더라

Fun (terrifying) fact: Moose are so gigantic, they don’t have any predators…except for orcas. In winter/scare months, moose will dive for vegetation and orcas will eat them!

A lot of people think of moderators as eldritch entities that are bound to the exact words of the spell and if you don't speak the exact words, you cannot be moderated! Whereas in reality it's a bunch of very tired and overworked people going "are you fucking kidding me with this shit"

ah, well, this answers for me whether I want to create a new Gmail account for a side project. (I do not.) I may not be able to untangle everything else from Google immediately, but I can certainly opt not to add anything new into the mix.
New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

the point of camo for a soldier is to obscure their position from the enemy. camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless.
police only dress this way to project an image of power they should not have.

What sick dogshit place are we living in where "child sex trafficking and pedophilia" is an "issue" and not a "put everyone in jail and throw away the whole jail" situation
Enten: "Trump is 39 below water on the Epstein case. 39 points in the negative! My goodness gracious. What Trump has been selling on the Epstein files, the Epstein case, the American people have not been buying at all ... less than half of Republicans are buying it. This is his worst issue by far"

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.
