When you really think about it, couples sending TikToks to each other is the digital equivalent of cloud watching together.
That is, if you had to sift through racist and fascist clouds to find the ones you like.
“Honey, look at that cute cloud! Right next to the eugenics one.”

@noahgervais.bsky.social I am working on my first video as part of a personal resolution and I'd love insight on your workflow. I'm certainly not going as grand scale as your work but could definitely use guidance. Do you write while gaming or after? How often do you rewrite? when is a script ready?

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.
That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

1. Media sources are widely reporting Trump's military ban has "a waiver" for trans people.
It does not: It only applies to closeted trans people who have never transitioned and feel no dysphoria.
The ban also forces people to resign or pay back benefits.

No, Trump's Trans Military Ban Does Not Have A "Waiver" For Openly Trans People Serving
The "waiver" being reported at many outlets for Trump's transgender ban is actually a "waiver" for people who have never transitioned, and are willing to stay closeted.

everyone seeing how when you takeaway the DEI the planes start falling out of the sky
💥 BREAKING: At John Deere's annual shareholders meeting today, shareholders overwhelmingly rejected an anti-DEI proposal brought by the same group that targeted Costco and Apple. An anti-DEI proposal from the NCPPR received less than 1 percent of votes.

Trans kids are not a bargaining chip. Being trans isn’t a culture war. Not giving an inch in my support for trans and nonbinary people of all ages to live freely and openly, and neither should you. Gender is what we make of it, and that’s what they’re afraid of.
