I understand the sentiment of "we need to find some way to not all see each other mortal enemies" but it REALLY REALLY needs to be made expressly clear that one side wants to live and be happy and the other side is "that's a line too far and you must suffer and die" and you can't Kumbaya that.

oh no. no. absolutely the fuck not. fuck off.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

yeah I blocked someone on signal the other day because the combination of only messaging me "hello", not being in any group chats with them, and their profile pic which looked like maybe a celebrity made me guess it was probably a scammer

Saw Moth Slut at the Star & Garter last Friday and it was phenomenal, like being transported back to 2002. I hadn't been to that venue for 22 years & it was EXACTLY the same, and the band are a billion times better live than recorded (and they are damn good recorded!) youtu.be/ZmUUdqH47Ks?... #goth

I'm usually good at separating fiction from reality, but when I'm in the middle of a horror movie about nazis, and I pause go to walk my dogs, and then a white woman pulls up in a huge truck with camo print seat covers and a yorkie wearing a camo vest?

Yeah, I hurried back inside.

imagine you said something ableist. then imagine that the hottest woman you've ever seen glares down at you with disdain and says, "I thought we all agreed disability is punk?" imagine how the embarrassment of that moment would haunt you for life.

then imagine not being ableist in the first place.

if I had a chance to do it all over again, I would make the same choices up until I met my wife, and then I could start making changes. although "we could've transitioned 5-10 years earlier" seems like kind of a big risk to take considering we did it eventually and still have decades ahead of us

has anyone compiled a list of features that aren't accessible without age verification?

I'm wondering if it prevents your posts from showing up in hashtags (and also testing)
