I was told if I married a woman it would go away. Newsflash: it didn’t. It doesn’t work. It will never work. Full stop. Anyone peddling it deserves to have their licensure revoked and shamed.

As someone who was subjected to conversion therapy, it doesn’t work. It won’t work. It’s torture. I was hooked up to an IV and made to vomit watching gay porn for two hours per week. I was prayed over. Bibles and the Book of Mormon were shoved in my face.

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

This is exactly what we need. This is it.

"New York City Council member Chi Ossé, a close ally of Zohran Mamdani, is privately discussing a run against House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)"

Scoop: Mamdani ally weighs challenging Hakeem Jeffries

Just talking about a potential campaign could drive a further wedge between Mamdani — the democratic socialist in line to be New York's next mayor — and Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.)

I honestly think Stephen Miller being such a shrill little bitch is a major obstacle to wearing down the people’s morale, people dont get intimidated into shutting up when Big Brother is furiously screeching that he’s not three apples tall

“At a recent trans rights conference in TX her assistant scheduled 30-min one-on-one chats w/any attendee who wanted, a process that brings her joy. She shows younger ppl what’s possible, that you can be a Black trans person who has no desire to conform to gender norms & can survive to be an elder.”

@samtlevin.bsky.social did a really lovely profile and interview with Miss Major in June of 2023:

"Her doormats say “Welcome bitches”, “Fuck off”, “Come back with a warrant” and “Home, where the ho & me come together”."

I think it's noteworthy that the people who say things like "we have to sacrifice some groups to save others" or whatever are never talking about themselves. They never suggest that they should take the bullet for others.

If you are willing to throw away entire groups of people to protect your insular strategy that will only protect you instead of protecting everyone then I don’t want your leaders and I sure as hell don’t want to be associated with you.

the tallest stone @talleststone.bsky.social · 21h

I hate to say it but the majority of the country is not going to die on the hill of trans rights. We can’t protect ANY groups if we can’t win a national election, so purity tests only serve to make specific groups feel triumphant. That’s not “erasing” them; it’s long-horizon strategy.

Sometimes I like to imagine a world in which game developers can just make cool shit without a bunch of suits sucking in air through their teeth and interfering because it might reduce shareholder returns by .03% or cause the smelliest men in the world to post a tweet

like i just think it’s important to consider Tenna & Ramb in the context of Kris’ life and who they are as a person, and likewise for Queen & Spamton because they also wouldn’t be who they are if Noelle was a different person with a different life

sawyer 🌲🎃 @kagoutis.bsky.social · 11h

Kris & Noelle each have 2 darkners whose personalities are heavily informed by different aspects of their own personalities, and/or other ppl in their real lives right. and one of each 2 darkners is an oppressive ruler, and the other is a reviled outcast who encourages their path on the weird route

sawyer 🌲🎃 @kagoutis.bsky.social · 11h

my stance is that Queen is to Noelle as Tenna is to Kris. and Spamton is to Noelle as Ramb is to Kris do u get me
