I really like ominous positivity. It’s the other side of optimistic nihilism.

Trans girls only want two things…

1. To be gainfully employed and capable of having economic security

2. To be an enchantress so alluring that her cries of loneliness are capable of arousing slumbering ancient evils.

We cannot go on like this
Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

There's an update to this story that's very funny, but a bit too involved to fit into a single post. So, short thread.
Major drama in the Austin climbing scene unfolding tonight with the news that the local Austin climbing gym just got tossed out of its flagship location by a landlord eager to jack up the prices, who turned out to have been secretly negotiating with the national climbing gym to lease them the space

This is how our government has been corrupted: 

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 
3) Donors make a huge profit. 
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Any British out there want to confirm or deny that being miserable, vitriolic, pseudosentient bundles of hate is a uniform trait of your people?

When I first came to Bluesky, I was about a week away from having to turn on the screen reader and I was so happy to see how many people were using #AltText.

Now I'm about a day away, and the use of #AltText has dropped horribly. I'm afraid I won't be able to participate for the next weeks.

I want a witchunter hat, but slutty so witches know I'm hunting them but, like, so they can rail me on a bed, or wherever they want really.

Is that too much to ask the universe for? 🥺
