A screenshot of an ad from YouTube shows an image of a man and a woman, both white, facing the camera and smiling in front of an American flag. Text under the photo reads "Want to Relocate to America? Looking to live and work in America? Find out if you qualify"

Who is building YouTube's ad algo? I just wanna talk...

"This person watches almost entirely queer & trans creators, lots of content about ASMR, social justice and human rights, I think this ad will resonate with them!"

I will be physically present at work tomorrow but mentally I'm in Cheyenne, Wyoming #p4a

Me at work on Friday VS Me for the past 48 hours

You get a bunch of internet nerds together and we can do what others thought impossible

You mean the family of the people who left kids bound and gagged?
The family who took away their sons bed and made him sleep on a beanbag for 6 months?
Who forced them to stand or not exercise in Utah sun for hours with no water or shade?
Those Mormons?

Darcy is the hero we needed in a post-DinoNASA world

He's had a little taste of "Don't tell me what to do" #p4a2026

My quadball team were invited to The Cursed Child book release by Waterstones (it was still called quidditch then) Joanne's team revoked the invite because we had trans people on the team.
But Jeffrey gets a VIP invite to the Broadway premier, dinner, & after party AFTER his crimes were public.

Nothing says "queer love" quite like the polycule harmonising to Chapel Roan at karaoke

The best possible update, my partner went second to last and the venue liked them so much they've been invited back to close out the show on Thursday night.
So see you all at The Camden Club from 8pm tomorrow - £10

We're four acts in and they've only just turned on the stage lights, they've opted for a wild approach of cycling through all the presets in succession

When doing tech the sound guy asked if anyone had any backing tracks or if they were all guitar & vocals.
Everyone said no backing track.
The perfomer who got up just now has a backing track

It turns out the woman on the phone was meant to be one of the performers and the person on the phone was meant to be her backing track

Update: it's her birthday and she is SMASHED and making it everyone's problem

A woman in the front row has been on her phone the entire time and keeps standing up to go talk to the bar tender then trying to encourage the guy she came with to also talk to whoever is on the phone

One act has rage quit because the sound guy didn't immediately fix the mic balance to his liking (he wasn't performing, he was complaining about the balance on someone else's set)

The sound guy is also the host and is possibly a member of the bar staff?
The other bar tender is also the waiter and forgot several food orders

Tonight might be the most chaotic open mic I've ever witnessed, so far we've got: 🧵

Chronic pain peeps; you ever have a feeling like your hip isn't in the socket properly or like it needs to click? What causes that? How do I fix this?

The ad currently playing is, I swear, about 10 minutes long and it's just the same 2-minute ad on loop

It should be illegal for an ad on a YouTube video to be longer than the actual video itself

Today in things I have said to my romance partners and my binder:

"How long am I gonna be in you?"

One day I'll go to Pride and won't have to sit through a performer saying bisexuals are "just indecisive" or "actually gay but not ready to say so" or "halfway out the closet"
Miss me with that bisexual erasure garbage. Do better.
