cut lines on a concrete floor suggest a vulva peeking out above a pair of legs, or are maybe just diagonal

I would still like to staff on a television show btw. A live action half hour comedy would be very good. Or a WGA covered adult animated half hour. Just saying!!!!! thanks

I also have advice. Everybody loves reading advice on the computer, so I'll share it: the best thing you can do right now is log off as hard as you can. Go outside, talk to people in real life where it's actually kind of rude to talk about the news, try to actually see the friends you usually just text message. Go for a long drive and turn the phone off while you do it. Get back into your hobbies or pick one and learn it for a while. Watch one of those studio movies that reviews called "wildly miscalculated" and you haven't seen since high school. Play an album you like but find embarrassing. Go to free community events even if they sound stupid. If you take the freeway, try the surface streets. Go to a bad diner and just order some bad coffee because even bad coffee is good coffee.
You can't help anybody when you're exhausted and keep posting one million college-educated rewordings of "I would love to be dead right now" on the computer. Walk away from the thing and try out some of those normal things you hear about and if you get bored that's wonderful because we're not supposed to get bored anymore. It turns out boredom is the Cadillac of feelings.

Remember that boycotts aren't just about getting changes. They are also about your own conscience. If a boycott doesn't change anything at the company, you can still not support them. I'm quite sure that Coca-cola doesn't care that I don't buy their products, but I care, so I don't support them.

To be clear: action packed, crass, hilarious hang out with weirdos is the highest compliment from me, but I’m trying to get across to the highbrows that this show about a jacked douchebag loser in a superhero costume is one of the most emotionally resonant and overtly political shows of our moment.

i think this picture, from a public promo stream for a video games starring one of the most popular comic book characters of all time owned by the disney corporation, should be used on every single story about storefronts taking down lgbt content

I tend not to eulogize most folks On Here, because it’d be a full time feed. People die, that’s the ticket. But it’s breaking my brain to imagine we live in a post-Redford art form as of today.

BlueSky Moderation has absolutely failed us as a community.
💀
You've allowed this target hit piece to remain up, it is blatantly lies, slander and puts the trans community at higher risk.
💀
Your moderation team has again and again demonstrated that they are not fit for the job before them.

If you're as angry as I am about how our trans brothers & sisters were treated this week, remember that not all of them got the loving parents we did & end up on the streets. Maybe today is a great day to donate to a local shelter & give trans kids a roof over their heads and the love they deserve.

“Many of the facile defenses of Kirk and his legacy are predicated on the idea that it’s acceptable to spread hateful ideas advocating for the persecution of perceived enemies as long you dress them up in a posture of debate. This is just class privilege.”

Charlie Kirk’s Legacy Deserves No Mourning

The white Christian nationalist provocateur wasn't a promoter of civil discourse. He preached hate, bigotry, and division
