I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

i think also kyriarchy just demonizes groups that are able to look at society from different angles because of neurotype or marginalization or whatever as a structural self preservation technique

In seriousness, I know of one who got it done because of his partner's recurring yeast infections. Good hygiene generally does the trick, but not for them I guess.

Same. I also took 0 Tylenol while pregnant until labor.

Fascists use gender as a cage and they use accusations of degeneracy and mental illness in a system of supremacy.
The cage is made by using the idea that gender is innate to enforce their own ideology.

Women are "protected" within the cage, only if they remain obediently within its confines.🧵

Neo from The Matrix Revolutions, stopping a hail of bullets. He is wearing the "Portland frog" head. I'm deeply sorry to Lana and Lily for doing this, but not really very sorry.

This is Toronto and it doesn’t matter because when “we” do misinformation it’s funny .

And because the person who did this is a white man

They will not be harangued for days

The right has AI slop, the reactionary center has “Ordinary,” and the rest of us are listening to tons of new and weird stuff that has about as much success breaking through the mainstream as left ideas have of getting covered in mainstream media

“I didn’t mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious … She’s been a little under the weather and I simply asked for prayers bc I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up.”

It’s really hard to describe to people who are not artists how survival mode does *not* inspire creativity, as the myth would have us believe. It suppresses creativity as you try to limit every possible risk – and the opportunities that come with them.

Aliette de Bodard @aliettedebodard.com · 3d

It turns out building habits and stuff actually requires not being in survival mode, who knew?!
(Yeah yeah I did)

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

I appreciate all the people showing love and support to me. I’m so grateful honestly. It means a lot. The ban isn’t that big of a deal for me. I think it was wrong and the explanation was bullshit. But that’s ok and I accept. Social media comes and goes. I’m grateful for all the connections I was able to make and all the people I get to be connected with off Bluesky. More importantly, the world needs more people to give a fuck. More people to give a fuck about Palestinians, more people to give a fuck about disabled folks, more people to give a fuck about our queer and trans siblings, more people to give a fuck about Black liberation. The world, and Bluesky, is full of bootlickers who will do anything to avoid doing anything to upset the status quo. These people are cowards groveling to those in power in hopes of protection. I just hope people continue to show love and care and kindness. Mutual aid is so important. Give when you can, boost when you can. We only survive this together.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

I read the piece and didn't disagree (haven't listened to the album yet) but I think a big part of it too is how when someone is as phenomenally successful as Swift, they stop hearing "no" from people close to them.

I watched Buckaroo Banzai alone, about 20 years after my friends recommended it, and it was definitely the wrong move
