Reintroduction thread 🧵

Hi 👋 people call me Bill

I know that might be confusing, since this is nominally a cat account

To be clear, I'm a human from Western New York; cats can't type

Obligatory Cat Picture

Two cats, one grey one black and white tuxedo, laying on a blue and white carpet. The grey cat is on the left, laying on his back. The tuxedo is on the right, laying on her stomach . Their feet are touching each others

Just a heads up: my gen-z coworkers had this discussion a month ago

Kinda telling that it's only now getting to this site

AI slurs discourse:

No one is concerned you are hurting AIs feelings

The concern is with your eagerness to use and defend a word which is analogous to (and rhymes with) a slur which we all agree is extremely harmful

Just something to think about

Allies: Of course I listen, consider, and respect the views of those to whom I pledge my allyship

Same allies: I will fight to the death for the right to use my pretend slur

Sorry for asking everything is a struggle with me being sick too. If anyone has a few bucks they can spare so we can make it until the next paycheck and get what we need it would be more than appreciated, especially now. Thanks anyways

Link is a huge part of the reason I managed to hang on to my housing, my electricity, and feed myself, in the months after I lost both my partner and my father. At the darkest moment of my life, he pointed me toward the light.

Fuck you, Jay, you fragile piece of shit. May you receive what you give.

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday
