bluesky's list, labeler, and starter pack features are underbaked. they are currently missing vital features and mostly constitute a privacy, safety, and harassement risk.
do not add me to any lists, labelers, or starter packs, even positive ones. i will block you.

My 'The Democrat's Big Tent Contains You And Also The People Who Want To Kill You' t-shirt has a lot of people asking questions that the t-shirt has already answered.
A "blue fascist"? The democrats are NOT the lock-step monolith e.g. GOP. And they will never be because the Dem tent covers EVERYONE. Even you. If you don't like picking between the lesser-of-two-evils then don't vote. Go find that rare bird who can model perfection for every situation. Good luck.

Fuck vote blue no matter who. If all this madness isn't enough to get the Democrats to field a candidate who can support trans rights and be against genocide they're telling me they don't want my vote and I'm happy to oblige.

I'm not voting for a more polite Trump. Full stop.

the latter thing drives me especially crazy cuz like. the other players buying Harry Potter skins aren't the ones you need to get through to, it's the people who OWN the store!! you can't convince Epic their decisions are unacceptable by STILL SUPPORTING THEIR GAME AND KEEPING THEIR LOBBIES ACTIVE

y'all are the only ones who can judge your choices in private but if I see anyone posting their reviews of that movie or still playing that game we're gonna have a problem. little is solved by piracy if you still add to FNAF 2's buzz, and similarly you cannot "protest" HP by bullying ppl in Fortnite

damn, Fortnite confirming they really are adding Harry Potter shit AND the FNAF 2 movie hitting theatres on the same day... today's sorta just one big targeted test for the kind of people who hesitate to boycott products that fund bigots as soon as it interferes with their own personal interests huh

'you can generate a different ending every time you view a movie!'

'you can have endless text conversations with NPCs in games!'

'you can summarize a novel, you don't have to read it!'

the pitches for genAI really reveal how much the people behind it just... hate art.

like. *hate* art. deeply.

77 BILLION DOLLARS and all they achieved was a particularly bad Second Life knockoff. The waste is literally incomprehensible.

Meanwhile, VRChat continues to chug along on an infinitesimally small fraction of the budget and look ten times as polished and professional.

Sometimes, the very concept of big-business money makes my head hurt. So, Facebook's Metaverse fell through, wasting 77 billion.

You could hire 10,000 of the smartest people in the games industry, paying them each $100k a year, for an entire decade, and only spend $10bn.

for me, the mask became a 'cant leave the house without it' item on level with keys, wallet, & phone in early 2020, & ive never broken the habit

ive not been seriously sick since 2019

ive had like 5 'felt crummy for 1-3 days' colds tops in SIX YEARS, all tested negative

its GREAT

WEAR MASKS
Though I really only leave the house for groceries, meds, or medical appointments, I always wear a mask. My respirator has kept me from catching Covid, flu, etc. 😷
Almost everyone I know is sick right now.

They’ve got a “bad flu” or a “nasty stomach bug”.

Almost no one will utter the word Covid.

It’s not too late to start wearing a mask.

It’s a great way to practice community care while keeping yourself healthy.

Ideally an N95 or better!

what's worse is public health experts have said there's ALSO multiple new terrible variants of flu going around. and idk if people realize you can also develop long term complications from a bad flu. people here don't take illness seriously.

Every trans person you know is exhausted. Beaten down. We've been going through a parade of constant state sanctioned and private corporation enabled stripping of our rights and safety for a decade now.

We are still here, we are still standing, but we are so god damn tired. It's your turn now.

The time to actually stand up and fight to try and stop this mess was years ago. Now we are here.

So you now have to fight harder. You have to protect trans folks in your area. In your lives. Financial support, housing support, Healthcare support. That's the bare minimum these days.

I'm so tired man.

I need you cis people to understand this. Rachel Levine did everything right. Legal name change. Legal sex update. So professional and accomplished she got SENATE APPROVAL as an open trans woman.

There's nothing we can do that they won't ignore to hurt us. So don't let them.

I wrote about CNN partnering with a gambling app that lets you wager on famine in Gaza, what this shift portends in our media, the obvious moral hazards of this arrangement, and “news” as politically impotent, disempowering spectator sport
The network will integrate betting odds for life-and-death issues into its coverage. What could possibly go wrong?

And this is after an Admiral LEFT because of it
The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.
