This whole idea that "You aren't fully embracing the MAGA agenda and becoming MAGA yourself" is the reason democrats lose is getting very tiresome.

GOP: THE DEMS WANT TO GIVE YOUR MONEY TO TRANSGENDERS SO THEY CAN CHEAT IN WOMEN'S SPORTS AND SHOW PENISES TO GIRLS IN THE BATHROOM!!!!!

DEM: say nothing about trans people, and just don't vote "yes" on republicans anti-trans bills, usually.

Moderate: TRANS ISSUES ARE WHY THE DEMOCRATS LOST!!!!

I mean that's what they call us, "transgenders"

Turning a verb into a noun so they can dehumanize us, and reduce us to that one aspect.

Just like racists almost always say "blacks" instead of black people.

Patricia 🌙🐉👧🏼 @growflet.astral.net · 4d

This has that same "blacks rule" image energy.

"Transgenders at war" is braindead. They can't even get the title right.

I remember when changing my name was an exciting time.

Now that i'm fixing my last name, it's stressful and worrisome because of the policies of this administration.

How much shit am I going to get from them when they look at my records.

Likely none, but who the heck knows.

Even suggesting that there is a gun to our heads gets us labeled as irrational and lacking self awareness.

cis people don’t understand trans people have been living with a gun to our head for nine months and every so often the guy holding it yells BANG and we’re expected to go on as normal

You know how conservatives were saying that the left was doing all this terrible stuff that wasn't actually happening/

They said it for a long time.

And now, they are doing it. I suppose that's to make their base think that this is normal from all sides, and they aren't the bad guys.

If the rapture was real and was happening today, and:

If The only requirement is belief in the sacrifice of Jesus: The monsters are in paradise, while we suffer with the world they left behind.

If It's based in good deeds, adherence to teachings - they are still going to be here causing suffering.

What the fuck is this timeline

It's a legitimate criticism of what MAGA actually did.

It's not celebrating charlie kirk's death in any way.

It's not supporting his killer in any way.

It's criticizing the president and his party for trying to use Kirk's death for political gain.

Kimmel said this:

> We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it.

I'm struggling to see how that is offensive.

"Killing people is bad."

True. Killing *is* bad.

"You shouldn't rejoice in the killing of another human being."

Okay that's probably good for the soul.

"& you're not allowed to find it hilarious."

You're really asking a lot here.

"& you gotta pretend he wasn't a terrible person."

Wait what?

I understand that someone who is not part of that online culture saw the word "bulge" and thought it had something to do with trans people.

They were mistaken.

Patricia 🌙🐉👧🏼 @growflet.astral.net · 29d

The bullet casing was not engraved with anything related to transgender people.

It says "notices bulge, owo what's this" - that's meme mocking online furries and has nothing to do with trans people.

You are being irresponsible keeping the headline as-is.

Notices Bulge / OwO What's This? | Know Your Meme

Notices Bulge / OwO What's This? is a copypasta parodying both furries and online roleplay subcultures, which is typically used online as a method of troll

A dude who says people like me: "hurt people and abuse kids" "corrupt children" "are prone to violent crime" and more.

Advocates for my oppression at every turn, and platforms people who do the same.

But if we don't completely respect him after he died, people like me are unreasonable monsters.

I would love for @teamcherry.bsky.social to add a no-progress loss option. You don't drop rosaries when you die.

That's it, no difficulty changes, just don't reset progress and force people to grind.

Sitting on a bench kills me? Funny.

Sitting on a bench makes me grind for an hour. Fuck that

It seems like @teamcherry.bsky.social accidentally brought two groups together with this game.

soulslike fans who enjoy the punishing brutality of a game

metroidvania fans who enjoy difficult games, but the punishment drives them away.

punishing game mechanics add FRUSTRATION not DIFFICULTY.
