Gavin Newsom is a fucking bitch currently being courted by the right. If Ben Shapiro, Nick Fuentes and some dweeby riding star named Clavicular are all agreeing with him or liking him on any level, he’s not our guy. Fuck Gavin.

“Trump invaded Venezuela, kidnapped its president, stole a bunch of its oil, sold it, and stashed the money in banks in Qatar” is a stone-cold CLASSIC of this genre
The stuff in the GOP bill is some of the clearest ever examples of "if you explain what Republicans are doing in straightforward factual terms an otherwise under-informed normie will think you have entirely lost your mind and can't be trusted"

People occasionally talk about doing discourse for clout, and, I mean, you could. But it vanishes almost immediately.
If you DO want clout, do a LOT of short, easy reviews of games you like, trying to answer "Who's the best audience for this? What would they like about it?", and tag the creators.

There’s a guy on Facebook who hates the queer romance in Old Skies so much that he’s hopping on every recent thread related to the game to rant about it. Lesson learned. More queer stuff.

Turning off quotes and tapping the no dogpiling/ragebaiting sign. This gets a big gore content warning and a genAI warning and all you need to do to kneecap their reach is share, block, and go about your day. Thanks for being a good Bluesky citizen. 💋
Hey cuties in the NSFW community,heads up that we got a fresh AI scraper/generator following folks in our circles. Go quietly preemptively block and move on with your lives. 🖤💋

Good morning. I read this dispatch from a comrade in Minneapolis this morning and thought that some of you might appreciate it too.

A politician who is not fully supportive of trans people sends the signal that they would abandon any marginalized population to pander to a wider voter base.
If they don't champion everyone, they're not in the game for public service, only self-service.

It is absolutely a never-fail marker of generalised fuckery.
(And even if someone was "only" anti-trans, that's still unacceptable.)

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

Wondering why you should write now with the world the way it is? Have you taken time recently to read a book? Was it a welcome relief? A moment of calm? Of normalcy? Sure it was. That's why you need to write, so your book can be that for someone else. And, of course, you do it for yourself too.

I’ve told this story before, but one of my turning points as a cis person, having originally followed glinner way back for his comedy credentials, was asking his followers for any actual evidence of a problem in public toilets - and I just got deluged with fetish porn.

utterly crucial thread whose tunes will routinely improve your day
🎧 Gonna start a slowly evolving thread for my folk-funk faves
What’s folk-funk?
The foundational tracks were mostly released in the 70s
It’s jazz-adjacent, funk-inflected, & heavy on drum breaks, acoustic guitar, & groove
We start with a “founder” of folk-funk
