They/them Fascinated w/ how people prioritize what to put in their bios. Lurker, queer, trans, AuDHD, dog person, millennial, disabled/chronically ill, progressive leftist, USian, PDXer, white & striving to be an ally to PoC. Born at 356 ppm.
We call this a Bad Take Jubilee. For the next 21 hours you can post whatever you want and it's almost certain to not be the worst take of the day.
Caesar salad is better with ketchup. Turn signals are cringe. Wedding DJs should play The Macarena more often. Keyboards don't need function keys.
Yes to noticing this pattern (I’m also an exclusively they/them person), and yes also to noticing that this they/them overflow seems to be limited to other she/hers.
Most people do. But posts from larger accounts are often featured in the Discovery tab, which notoriously brings a lot of obnoxious replies from people who aren’t actually engaged with the conversations.
If you run like we're under mortal threat, you need to lose like we're under mortal threat, too. Throw your body on the gears. Cosplay the GOP rejecting everything just to make those in power look bad.
If you don't, do not come back to us in 2 years & tell us democracy is on the line.
I've been resisting replying to a lot of posts today, because I wanted to think. And I think that we are at a unique crisis point right now on the left.
You can not spend a year running on telling us that democracy will end if this guy wins, and then just turn around and say, "well norms, you know"
Goddamn, I can see why. I just read it and nearly cried in public.
One thing I wish ao3 made easier to express is "I want to see what people are doing with this tag in every fandom I'm personally interested in". Because you can't save search filters and the filter has no way to express disjunctions it's really painful to do this!
worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.
Know Your Birds:
Pigeon - Default bird
Seagull - Noisy bird
Dog - This one isn't a bird
Kangaroo - Neither is this one
Octopus - Also not a bird
Every day, a new thing radicalizes me further. Anyone who looks at an entire category of human beings trying to survive in this city and thinks “we need to make them so miserable they don’t come around here anymore” should be dropped and left to rot in the middle of the desert
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
Just remember, when It Finally Happens, Donald Trump won't be able to hear your wild celebration but all his lickspittles and failsons will.
Is there a better face for capital in America other than a private billion dollar prison corporation that will bankrupt your city if you refuse to accept a fraction of the blood money it extracts from the rape, assault, suicides, and murders of refugees and immigrants? I genuinely don’t think so.
Like if you said “the life of an elementary schooler in Iran is worth the same amount as that of an American soldier” you’d get kicked off the news
I am not advocating for this. But that is effectively what happened except the only people who had access to this lack of copyright were AI companies.
this guy loves making down payments on future 9/11s with other people's money
He didn’t kill anyone. Anyone know how many people the government has killed for being present when someone else killed somebody? And the demographics?
Me: there are no new takes online we are all just repeating ourselv—
I don’t think we can even begin to comprehend what’s gonna happen if this turns into a water war. Those facilities are extremely vulnerable and have an immediate impact on the population. You think you’ve seen a refugee crisis? Just wait for the next one.
If it was any country other than the US we’d be talking sanctions right about now.
So it is *social pressure* compelling you to accept some bottom-shelf afterthought of an excuse that the latest halfhanded jerk dug out of his navel as if to use it as a force multiplier for all the contempt his actions themselves were already showing.

We will greet them as liberators.
Be the change you want to see in the world.
Thank you to all the people who are good at talking about random things for hours.
a lot of discussion about how "cosmopolitan" urban dwellers are, but a really underdiscussed trend is the homogenization of culture across *rural* areas of the USA - replacement of once-distinct regional cultures with generic "redneck" accent and culture, regional religions with evanglicalism etc
RETVRN Kansas to Zoroastrianism, maybe?
The gap between black and red points is filled with careers that are ending and most likely won't resume. It represents collectively thousands of years of training that those scientists received but won't be able to use or pass on. Unless this trend reverses, this is the beginning of a dark age.
this made me cackle all the way through
