Los Feliz. If people pronounce it correctly then I know they’re new. Or stubborn.

What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

Tell that to the rest of the internet, Chris! Cause that’s not how people utilize it!

You made the joke and when I told you it was misgendering you argued with me and told me it wasn’t because JJGo said so. Which you just doubled down on here. I’m making it clear here that I want no further interaction with you.

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 1d

As opposed to my NFL example of a fandom famously free of bigotry

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 1d

Unrelated to this topic, but I blocked you on Instagram for misgendering me and arguing with me about it. Why would you decide to follow me and start responding to me here?

I just saw a post get shared like “what would you do if you met someone perfect and then found out they were a Disney Adult” and the replies were so vitriolic. It was crazy.

I don’t get why there’s this much vitriol about this particular fandom versus like, idk, an NFL team?

Like I just love a theme park and it’s the best one in my area and has fun history elements to it’s evolution.

I’m a Disney Adult but I like to think I’m “one of the good ones.” Still I cringe whenever I see posts about Disney Adults go viral.

Yeah, like she literally was comfortable doing it while she knew she was being recorded. Imagine how she is when she’s not?

I love how in OG Tron the macguffin is proof that Flynn’s ideas were stolen and then when he gets the proof it’s like a three line note that just basically says “yeah totes”

Revisiting Agatha All Along this year for spooky season and I just realized that the lyrics for the first episode True Crime version of the Ballad of the Witches' Road song are "winding road" instead of witches' road, which is Nicky's original version that wasn't revealed till the end. Genius.

I get that everyone thinks it's a funny little joke when Trump says nonsense about "trangender for everybody" (because really, wtf does that even mean?), but I gotta say that as a trans person, I find it absolutely fucking insane that he's constantly obsessing over trans people existing. It sucks.

Trump: "If we didn't win this election. If we had these people that were running that were ruining our country, destroying our country with their open borders and men playing in women's sports and transgender from everybody and windmills all over the place ... I'm not sure we'd even have a country."

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

And they’d be factually inaccurate since the south seceded because of his election and the war began when the Confederacy attacked Fort Sumter.
