wore this to No Kings and I honestly feel like it was the best thing I did that day, because a couple of trans teenagers saw it and were pleased.

Alternatively you can do what I do and say “sorry if I’m overexplaining or explaining what you already know, I hereby utilize my free autistic overexplanation/info dump card for the week”

Unless you don’t want to infodump just because you are generally tired, in which case GO REST

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors

Remember:

- they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals

- they DO NOT CARE about your dunks

- the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to

This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

really should get around to writing my take that "AI uprising/robot uprising" fiction is just barely sublimated fear of domestic slave revolt

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

Hello! My gay funny static is looking for a regen healer for on-content savage, but we're definitely flexible if you play something other than tank. Currently on the tail end of m7s.

Please take note of the vibe descriptions at the top of this application form. Thanks!

forms.gle/woih2Kk7GBbA...

An image created in ms paint with a flat black background with text that reads:
"the WEAPONIZED BOTTOMS FFXIV Static is recruiting! (hence the low-effort recruitment image
-we run on-content savage (sometimes ultimates)
-wednesdays 6-8pst and sundays 4-6 pst
-looking for regen healer ideally (non-tank flexible!)
-we're on ~crystal~
-we're gay
wig

pictures of our dancer's cats to seduce you"

The text is all in comic sans and is in white, except for "WEAPONIZED BOTTOMS" which is in alternating rainbow colors, and "~crystal~" which is teal.

Around the text "pictures of our dancer's cats to seduce you" are pictures of two cats: one is a black and white cat pawing at a mousepad, standing between a monitor with FFXIV open and a keyboard with green backlighting, and the other is a grey cat with a curled tail and an owl-ish face, sitting perched atop a white guy in an orange sweater wearing headphones.

Hey, Autism is not a disease. While not all Autistics have food aversion, it is found in a lot of Autistic and neurodivergent folk. If you want to stick it to the people sharing and celebrating the spreading of misinformation about Autism, share stuff made by Autistic folk. Like my book:

Mattslew Batberg-Mothfit (any/all) @mbrobergmoffitt.bsky.social · Aug 1

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Color Taste Texture by Matthew Broberg-Moffitt: 9780593538593 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books

An accessible family cookbook that offers solutions rather than tricks to empower the food-averse, autistic, and picky eater, with 46 recipes. This much-needed cookbook combines tips and techniques.....

The thing is, if you don't want to see sex in movies and TV shows, you can actually pay attention to the accompanying content warnings, or perhaps even go the extra mile by checking doesthedogdie dot com

it is unreal how much can actually be accomplished by clearing *literally the lowest bar of engagement* instead of just going full deer in headlights.

there’s power in that and it’s a muscle you flex. and once you’re bored of clearing the lowest bar, clear the next, then the next, then the next.

regardless of the details I think it’s important to spin the Kimmel thing as a win

Trump is weak, he’s unpopular, he massively overreached and inspired enough of a revolt that Disney had to backtrack immediately

he wants to paint himself as an all-powerful dictator, paint him as a loser who sucks

I lived in the days of the fucking "Mary Sue Litmus Test" and let me tell you it was not a fun time and now whenever I worry Peryn's lore is too out there I always tell myself "Yoshi-P made a tragic orphan Black Mage whose eyes glow in Enochian, I'm fine."

ff14 was truly a godsend for millennials who grew up in a climate where making mary sue ocs was the greatest sin and can now make the sexy perfect goddesses that they wanted to make when they were teenagers

I really need you guys to internalize this.

Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air.

Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*
