every year I have ran a playstation 2 uno game as part of my New Year's stream and every year the universe blesses me with a PB on that exact day despite the absurd luck requirement of this game
this year in particular felt like the universe conspired to make it unnecessarily dramatic

played one of the ps2 games from the wheel offline: a surprisingly fun rpg that doesn't really do anything too innovative, but the game is just fun and has funny dialogue a lot of the time. Tsuganai Atonement. never heard anyone talk about it, but it was worth the playthrough 👍

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

Convo I had with a coworker's little kid when I was pre-HRT.
Her: "Are you a boy or a girl?"
Me: "a girl"
Her: "why do you look like a boy?
Me: "just happens sometimes"
Her: "oh 🤔 ok! Oooh a doggy"
Chid runs off the play with the dog, who is way more interesting than me.

the reason you can't say "sexual assault" or "rape" on so many major platforms is because the christofascists demanding this censorship from tech companies want to keep wielding sexual violence in the dark as a tool of power
the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

"Transsexuality is bourgeois" reflects the common belief that medicine, technology, and any improvements to quality of life are owed to capitalism. The reality is that capitalism holds these improvements hostage for the sake of wealth.

liberalism has no solutions, only empty rhetoric and a policy of adopting the ways and means of their nominal opponents until they themselves are an ineffective shadow of the monsters currently stripping the american carcass. it will not save you. it will not save us.

Transness is not bourgeois. This is a wedge idea dreamed up by some gleefully amoral think tank lobotomite to split trans people and make us fight each other. That we relay on modern medicine doesn't make us any more bourgeois than someone who needs antidepressants or cleft palate repair.

Similar to my post about "liberation means even for that annoying guy you hate" - weird art includes art you personally don't get, don't like, wouldn't spend money on, find unsettling. Games you wouldn't play. Books you wouldn't read. Decommercialise your preconceptions of what art deserves to exist
Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

Fun fact about the Salvation Army: they use a form of substance use treatment called work therapy. Oh, and by treatment, I mean they have people who have been convicted of drug charges work for their stores & warehouses in exchange for room, board, around a $1 a week, and minimal actual therapy.
