I'm here by declaring war against everyone who says, "25YO IS JUST BABY UWU!! SO IMMATURE! So BABY!"
I have never seen a cohort of adults so interested in being stripped of the title of being adult. Who actively want to avoid being in charge of themselves.

Hey @margaret.bsky.social , I was a hanger on in the NYC goth scene 25 years ago, what band were you in? Because I'm curious if I've seen you? I went to a lot of shows.

I understand the reasons some non-Americans have for using this, but this post is correct — you’ll be immediately ignored here if you use it.
If I wrote a post referring to “UKians” all the people living there would ignore me too, and rightly so.

If your argument involves referring to Americans as “USians” it doesn’t matter how cogent the rest of your point may be tbh

This reminds me of the person on Twitter who insisted that it was ableist for authors to charge for ttrpg books. Because in order for them to be accessible, they had to be affordable. I think they also insinuated that it was racist, But I don't clearly remember.
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

They might not get him for assaulting or obstructing ice. But they'll get him for the other things and do the maximum penalty. The license plate not registered to him that he was using to avoid parking fees? Yeah they're going to get them for that.

You need to rebuild trust in scientists. Because the public has a lot of really good reasons not to trust them.
The entire field looks down upon science communicators. And rewards the kind of asshole cutthroat publish or perish behavior this does not loan itself towards informing the public

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

It's just wild to act like "there are social rules that you will not be told about and you absolutely MUST follow them or someone will act like you put sugar in their gas tank" is unique to neurotypical people. And if you think that way, you might not notice you're doing it!

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

If last week I had made the suggestion that there was a blacklist of actors who did not Support Israel, you would think I was being anti-Semitic.
Yet here we are.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.
Does this sound familiar?
Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

They did this to the author @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social once when he was younger. Stopped him at the border and wouldn't let him in because he didn't have enough money.
Years upon years later when he had already become probably a millionaire, they still stop him at the border for an interview

So— update. We arrived at the Canadian border and were promptly rejected for “showing up too early.”
They also indicated we hadn’t saved enough money but declined to say how much we needed.
And even if I came back in December to get my visa, Clover could only stay for 6 months.

Declaring Palestine Action a terrorist group and declaring "antifa" a terrorist group... It's all connected to how any and all Palestinians (and their supporters) are immediately labeled Hamas, and in many cases that seems to justify their killing. Please make the connection.
