I'm sure my followers know this, but I'll say it just in case it breaks containment.
When the topic is disability; listen to disabled people.
Trans rights? Listen to trans people.
Racism/ xenophobia? Listen to BIPOC.
Women's issue? Listen to women.
Marginalised people KNOW what's best for US.

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

Anytime the 'creatives are the petite bourgeoisie' thing pops up in arguments for AI or theft I want to scream and start biting.
I will eat your fingers. Stop typing like someone who uses college degrees as rolling paper.

Hi, I lost a keychain and I'm wondering if anyone can help me replace it. It was an Alastor keyring where he's eating ribs. It's transparent acrylic and has his name in it in red letters. It came from Etsy, but I don't know who the vendor is.

A solid article but can we please, again, address the fact that ChatGPT uses em dashes because they ARE used a lot? Lotta hate on them lately because of AI but they show up there because of the materials it was trained on so just be aware that personal stylistic choices are just that - personal.
To “my students and to anyone who might listen, I say: Don’t surrender to AI your ability to read, write and think when others once risked their lives and died for the freedom to do so.”

It's 1925. I'm leanin' against this lamppost on the lookout for dames who are lookin for trouble. I start flipping a quarter. I catch her eye. I fumble the quarter and it rolls into a sewer grate. I have lost the equivalent of thirty thousand dollars.
