NEW: I spent a week in the tiny town the mysterious MAGA influencer Catturd calls home. People in Wewahitchka, Florida were stunned to learn they share a town with someone so famous. And I heard from the man himself, Phillip Buchanan https://www.dailydot.com/news/who-is-catturd/

I'm honestly so sick of this shit. Not only do I have to process more senseless mass death due to guns, I have to deal with disinformation blaming it on trans people.

Friendly reminder that conservative trolls WANT to be bullied on Bluesky. They thrive on the attention. They want to be trolled so they can go back to Twitter or write some dumb “thinkpiece” and say how Bluesky is filled with intolerant liberals. Don’t give them the satisfaction. Just block them.

When I send bomb threats to a department store because it sells rainbow merchandise, it's a boycott. When you refuse to broadcast my anti-transgender movie on your platform, it's a first amendment violation.

Former (longtime) restaurant worker here. Went to work sick many, many times bc I didn’t get paid sick leave, health insurance, and could get written up and possibly fired if I didn’t have a Dr.’s note.

The rapid degradation of discourse on that site is astounding
I just opened up Twitter, and wow, it's gotten so bad over there. I haven't tweeted in more than a month, and it's starting to hit me that the online friendships I made (more like online acquaintances, tbh) on that site are just gone. I'm trying to put this to words, but I can't quite do it.
