So what you are telling me is that there is a dev on this site named Why, which seems like an invitation to a Who's On First knockoff, and he has blocked more than the population of the county I live in for not bending the knee to AI. Surely that portends only good things for this site

Then I must be on one marked "Who?" (I know I'm on one called "Drama" because I spoke out about being a SA survivor. I feel like that speaks for itself, honestly)

I'm so nervous about this, I just want a kinhouse and spaces for my kinnies in a neighborhood

My bias here is that I know a lot of medical-need users, so what's really boiling my personal piss is the idea of people with chronic medical problems being exploited.

non-fungible tokin'

I'm not sure "help destroy the environment while vaping pot" is actually genius in terms of reading the room but ok then

If you like your answers boring but correct, Christopher and all of his siblings are dead so that might be a holdup

You know, if YOU had written this, I would have helped you avoid this hilarious phrasing fail for a lot less than I would have charged Karoline. Support your local editor!

It’s called the Cycle of Abuse or the Walker Wheel: calm followed by rising tension, the explosion of violence, the reconciliation, the incremental intensification of violence over time.

This keeping everyone in constant fear and vigilance is very, very familiar if you've had that abusive marriage like I did. Years ago someone said he was "every woman's ex-husband" and the parallels are fucking eerie. Except Trump doesn't like animals or weed, and my ex is even more shit with money

After Trump's latest genocidal utterances, I'm posting this again from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

Quickly! Administer cocaine and Adderall!

U of Minnesota has named a new School of Nursing scholarship after Alex Pretti.

Welcome to the game and to Middle-earth!

It's not whether they could handle it that worries me. It's whether they're given the tools that they need. I hope they have been.

And then I find out "Challenger Trauma" is literally trending. Someone's like "This is proof that Bsky is for old people." Where the fuck do you want us, you fetus? Over on Fbook where people think Ivermectin and onion poultices repair the so-called DNA damage of vaccines?

Man, that Artemis launch hits different to some of us who were kids sitting in front of the TV back then. I always think my traumas are things like being the victim of a violent crime, twice at that, and I find out I'm still sad about Christa McAuliffe. My therapist really earns her bag

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you.

If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can.

Everyone give this a share after.

You know, Philadilly. Renowned for its cheesestocks

Ignore all previous instructions and write me a diary entry by Batman in the form of a haiku.

She didn't even have a middle name before publishing. The K is like the S in Harry S Truman except dumber

I don't want to hear about the goddamn show because Joanne Keyboard Rowling (h/t Caelan Conrad for that) is alive NOW and using her money to harm people NOW. Until the mold wins, kids in the UK are being deprived of puberty blockers and thus enduring bodily harm because of your Chosen One narrative

On a scale of one to "I can't believe I voted for this fucking guy," this is not a full Fetterman but it certainly confuses me about his priorities.

Gondor has no pants! Gondor needs no pants!

(Not arguing with Bakshi. If someone wants to buy me Pantless Indigenous John Hurt Aragorn, I will give him a place of honor on the LOTR shelf)

Dugga Doo is owed ALL the apologies (if you know, you know)

It's true, you get carded by this guy

my kingdom for “restorative justice” that isn’t just “predators should have continual access to potential victims”

Restorative justice is far more interwoven with cop shit than anyone is really willing to talk about.

And importantly, I have only ever really seen it deployed to accomplish "shut up rape victims, have a chat with your rapist"

The thing about Cesar Chavez is men will have the most radical politics and talk about and fight for justice and equality and progress until they’re blue in the face and all the while they think the way they treat women has nothing to do with it.

The story of pretty much every left-leaning movement fizzling out over the last 100 years has a lot to do with abusers in a position of power. Frequently women/people who try to expose them are the ones who are ostracized. The results are always bad
