Dear Follower,

I hope this Skeet finds you well.

I am afraid

Worm regards,

In 20 or so years there will be a presidential candidate that gets laughed off the stage for calling the audience "chat" because the language was too old-school and cringe

In the absence of a teacher, children will ask the gods.

The gods of 2025 are ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Grok, and a slew of others.

We need to train more teachers and we need to train our teachers how to understand and respect the new generations.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

I just remembered that it's the month of Trans Visibility 🏳️‍⚧️

Good timing!

Also, One Piece says #transrights
After putting on her famous Oni mask, a samurai is recognized by the prisoners, who refer to her with masculine pronouns. The prisoner speaking says, "Isn't he the warrior thought to have died at Oden Castle," The legendary samurai is known as Kikunojo of the Lingering Snow. Up until this point, she is referred to by friends as Kiku. Her friends, confused, ask if she's a man, after the prisoners refer to her as such. She responds, "I am a woman at heart."

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig
A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying: a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away she started following when i had 100 viewers she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project ty to anyone who tunes in or donates rip kanabana

A screenshot from the anime One Piece. The character Luffy, infected by a painful green plague spread by touch, is speaking to a crowd of spirit-broken imprisoned rebels from the closed nation of Wano. He asks them, "what's wrong with me coming from another country?" The camera is now facing Luffy. He asks the prisoners, "what's wrong with a stranger defending this land?" As the smoke clears, his allies appear behind him. Luffy and his friends have all been fighting to protect the nation that the rebels were also fighting to protect before they were imprisoned for their rebellion against the coup dictatorship.

It’s not our job to toughen our children up to face a cruel and heartless world.

It’s our job to raise children who will make the world a little less cruel and heartless.

Texas Universities are now banning many professors from even acknowledging that transgender people even exist.

A massive censorship battle is snowballing its way through Texas higher ed.

S. Baum writes about it in their latest piece for Erin In The Morning.

Texas Universities Are Now Banning Professors From Even Acknowledging Trans People Exist
Campus officials claim to have no choice but to censor the mere mention of trans people. But that’s not actually the law.

“There is a cult of ignorance in the US & there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political & cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that Democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.”

Google blatantly ignoring boundaries.

I've had location services disabled for months because I never go anywhere anyway since I'm wheelchair-bound and can't get outside without help.

Switching to a phone not made by Apple, Google, Samsung, or Microsoft as soon as I can afford it.

stevehofstetter I'm all for banning athletes born with an unfair competitive advantage over their field. That's why we should immediately ban rich children from all sports. Top-notch equipment? Private coaches? Travel leagues? I'm sorry if this offends you but that's just not natural. That's just not how sports were when I was growing up. Won't someone think of the children?

Sometimes, when I try to have conversations on the internet, I find myself baffled because someone like this completely misinterpreted something I said in the wost possible way

I can't help but wonder if it's done intentionally or if people in general really are just horrible at interpreting words
A four-panel comic. The first panel depicts a person in a pink shirt leaving an office, with an unseen person stating "And remember, if you need any more help, my door is ALWAYS open!" In the second panel, the door to the office shuts. In the third panel, the person in the pink shirt states, "Wait... the door is closed... therefore I DON'T need any more help!" In the fourth panel, the person in the pink shirt walks away from the office, now revealing a plaque that reads "Logic Tutoring."

You know, I think participating in the #YouTubeBoycott has been a much-needed detox.

Maybe I'll take a look at Nebula or Newgrounds or something instead...
