Leistung streichen hört sich so abstrakt an finde man kann auch sagen existenzen zerstören oder in die Obdachlosigkeit treiben oder kranksein bestrafen

This post speaks to me in a way I can't even begin to describe.

I am into cross dressing, if that means irately putting on pants to leave the house for the first time in three days.

I remember watching this a couple of years ago and barely making it through it. That frog was darksided.

Just saw some owls with bony crests above their eyes where their feather tufts would be and it nearly gave me an aneurysm.
That's almost as bad as those cat skeletons with bone ears.

Halloween season is as fun for me as for the next gay, but seeing all these horribly inaccurate animal skeletons stresses me out as someone who almost became a biologist, and is also a huge pedant 😱

Nobody could have imagined the future world that would find this funny and why

A boy running alongside a train with a bindle on a stick. A word balloon reads “I’m through with school- it’s only for sissies anyway. I’ll run away and- and make money with my FEET”

is it not weird that every day there’s a new video of anonymous masked men having the time of their lives beating/shooting/disappearing people and the dem response from the top down is “republicans want to double your health insurance premiums”

"lefty Zionist lib Jew" sounds like a random list of keywords that are added to a webpage for SEO purposes.

LLM AI exists to crush labour. That's not even my surmise, the people paying billions of dollars to fund this stuff are extremely open and explicit that this is their goal.

There are no ethical use cases for LLMs at this point in time. Maybe when the bubble has popped thoroughly. Not before.

I need to find a local queer bar and just go some time. I need to be among my people.

This takes a bit of extra effort, but I work my way around the ads by playing a podcast that doesn't have them enabled and then manually adding the songs I want to listen to to the queue.

I'm actually wearing Stay Matte But Not Flat in my profile pic and look at how flawless my skin looks in it! Actual miracle work, considering the canvas is such a mess.

Miriam/Markus (she/her, he/him, ze/hir) @magerightsactivist.bsky.social · 17h

They really need to bring back Stay Matte But Not Flat (the very foundation I fell in love with back in the day). I still have a tube, and I live in constant fear of it either running out or going bad because Can't Stop Won't Stop just isn't as good.

I don't normally do brand loyalty, but NYX saved my pasty ass back when the lightest shades of the only foundations I could afford were called things like "porcelain" or "ivory", but were the approximate color of pumpkin pie filling.
The 2000s were a dark time for the pale, kids.

I have very textured, extremely oily skin with a cool, yellow undertone and Ms. NYX understands me. Ms. NYX treats me right.

I probably shouldn't have gone for eyeliner ... I love looks with graphic liner and I am technically pretty good at them, but I have very hooded, oily lids, so even waterproof liners transfer for me, if they're visible at all. But I trust NYX. Too much, if we're being honest.
