Unwanted DMs get you blocked. So does hatred and people who double down unapologetically on unwarrented rudeness. And just general assholery. I don't got time for that.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

Obviously this is who we have always been, that is a given... but the fact that people who did not know that are out here, protesting for the first time, in actual tears?

If you want to fight fascism, you must practice disability justice.
If you’re claiming to be on the left but believe disabled people are “expendable”, you’re aligning with fascists.
If you are against tyranny but refer to people like me as “a drain”, you’re carrying water for the Nazis.

Okay, I am on the side of "migrating from Discord is a no-go" but I am having to make my case to other people. Main question rn: Can someone please explain the flaws of IRC to me? I did not like it but I also didn't use it much and people will want actual drawbacks. (Feel free to boost.)

Also, idk who needs to hear this but you can buy yourself flowers just because you deserve something bright and pretty and you're worth having nice things
Do this especially if you’re buying flowers for you Grandma who’s been living in the same town for 50 years. The florist probably knows her and (hopefully) likes her.
Tell your friends. Even if the only florist you can find nearby is in the Kroger produce section. There is a person putting those arrangements together and they WILL work with you and you WILL get better results with a pro who’s given a free hand

A reminder: there is not a single housing market in America—not one city, state, or county—where someone relying on SSI can afford a one-bedroom apartment.
Deaths like these are always preceded by engineered abandonment. Disproportionate homelessness among people with disabilities is no accident.

High rents outpace federal disability payments, leaving many homeless
Supplemental Security Income, a federal program meant to be a financial floor for people unable to work, hasn't kept pace with inflation. Many recipients are homeless, unable to save for an apartment.

I'm waving an OT3 flag 'cause the girls are bi and the boy is cute and possible able to learn if you clonk him with a clue-by-four enough.
SIDE QUESTED is definitely a commitment, in the "you won't want to stop reading" sense. An epic fantasy with a sly sense of humor, an innovative magic system, and a believably teenage love triangle of sorts at its center, this is witty, wise, and complex in all the best of ways.

I remember saying "well, one good thing out of the Alex Pretti shooting is he very well my be our Viola Liuzzo" and not one person on my entire block had any idea wtf I was talking about
Columbia cancelled my 2024 class on Race and Media, so I decided to teach it independently anyway.
I made a conscious decision to include whiteness in discussions about race.
What we learned is how much white people have been kept in the dark about white martyrs for civil rights.

A lot of the blank "bot" accounts people get followed by are one of these networks! This thread explains what they are and how they operate; a lot of them follow starter packs to make the accounts look more real.
As Bluesky grows, providers of illicit social media services known as "SMM panels" (social media marketing panels) have used the platform to advertise their offerings with increasing frequency. Over the last year, dozens of accounts promoting SMM panels and their services have popped up on Bluesky.
