The Spanish version is “the left liberates, the right oppresses” and once I learned that, both screws and politics made more sense
the single line that has saved me the most hassle in my life is "lefty loosey righty tighty"

The 12th annual international Gender Census 2025 is now open until at least 30th August 2025!

survey.gendercensus.com

It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy.

Something occurred more recently that's brought this phrase to mind: "A lesson is learned, but the damage is irreversible".

Damage to a one-sided friendship, that is.

... well, it's also the title of a sadly now-defunct webcomic, but I think it's a useful saying, regardless.

Been a while since I checked this, huh? I discovered a cool trans-friendly fediverse instance, and kinda neglected this place... 😅

Time was, I'd post through my issues. Then I discovered Obsidian, and stopped doing so publicly.

Having a journal sure is useful...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

it’s so weird when men go on the internet and say they’re against women. Why don’t you take your vows and move to a monastery

"It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.
It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination."

For me, that's Mindustry. Don't have much trouble with Stardew Valley, though that's probably due to all the mods...
I keep trying to play Stardew Valley to relax only to get stressed out by planning the days for maximum farm efficiency and worrying about getting all the chores packed into the days. It's a more stressful game to me than Elden Ring or any survival horror game

If you need a break from what will no doubt be a LOT of bleak political discussion today, may I suggest a pair of spectacularly gorgeous images of colliding galaxies taken using Hubble and JWST?

You read the signs and then try and use the door. Another pop-up that you can't click away from for a few seconds appears, reminding you of this. Afterwards, you're given 3 attempts to try it before being allowed to do it for real. 😂😭

Discomfort is not harm. Internalize that.

Discomfort is not harm, and if you're made uncomfortable by the work of a total stranger who does not know you exist, you can just process on your own and move on. You do not need to make it anyone's "fault" and no one needs to be "held accountable" for it.
If you dislike something or it makes you uncomfortable, that’s okay! But you don’t need to let the creator know. You don’t need to let anyone know, honestly. You can just ignore it and move on with your life. Fandom is about enjoying the things you like, not bashing the things you hate.
I woke up in the night thinking about this & will forget if I don't wing it into the universe right now, so...

what are some etiquette tips you'd give to someone new to fandom spaces?

So I think I'll stay here and see how things play out... but I'll also recommend that people make a mastodon account and find a space, just in case this goes the way of the bird app.

So fucking typically, you rely on certain groups of people to grow your platform, then as soon, literally the second, you get some mainstream popularity you abandon them, and let people who hate them and want them dead on your platform because it makes number go up.

Do better.
