To my liberal friends who follow me:

Body shaming is never good. It is never righteous. It is never justifiable. You want to insult someone? Insult their words, their actions, their policies. THOSE are the shameful aspects of them, not their weight, color, or other physical traits.

I am 375/650 on my mutual aid need. I’m so close !!! Thank you so much for sending tips

I don’t mean to be a poor and struggling artist.

I promise I won’t be soon.
My journalism and novels etc are too good for the haters to keep ignoring at levers of power.

Organic growth can’t be stopped

Also presenting scripted drama and hatred as somehow being "real life." That is an aspect of it that I despise so much. This notion that these are real people behaving as real people rather than being manipulated into situations where they get angry at each other.

“The law of evolution is that the strongest survives!"

'Yes, and the strongest, in the existence of any social species, are those who are most social.

In human terms, most ethical... There is no strength to be gained from hurting one another. Only weakness."

My friends: "You've been saving up a lot of money. Looks like you're finally going to get that car you so desperately need."

Me: "Yep. I'm definitely getting my ride here real soon." <_< >_>

I'm getting long loading times and excessive waiting periods when trying to post something. Every other website I'm using is moving at normal speed. So it seems very slow right now.

If you're focusing on someone's weight or their appearance and not on their heinous positions and policies, you're subverting the issue and focusing on eugenicism, which plays right into fascists hands. Be smart! Be smart! Think about what you're going to say before you say it!

I'm not trying to be a dick.

But they picked two fat republicans for a bunch of jokes when the young republicans said the worst shit imaginable.

My fat ass is out there fighting for what's right.

Stop equating fat with bad or less. Stop telling ME I'm one annoyance away from being your target.
Two-fat white men in suits.

I'm 5'2, I was under 5 ft for most of my life. The first time I had a police officer put a flashlight/gun in my face I was 8/9. I was in the backseat of a car, pulled over with my uncle and aunt (white). They were worried about her 'safety, ' and demanded i provide ID. I was a child.

The adultification of Black kids is the criminalization of Black kids, they see Black babies as full grown threats to justify coming down on them hard.

Good god I tore into him on that one. Right after that campaign, I sent him a letter, an actual letter because emails are easily ignored, explaining how it was a dagger in the heart to betray people who are being threatened right now, and that he should be ashamed of himself. I never got a response.

It's still true no matter how tired you get of hearing it.

Well, choosing Jared Leto is probably one of the reasons, may he forever fuck off, but also because the Tron franchise isn't really much of a franchise.

It's like The Last Starfighter. The film kind of started and resolved everything capably enough.

Yes! This was also my experience. It was an open secret that they were racist as fuck, but the trick was to always use euphemisms to replace the bigotry with something more banal.

They're the same as they always were, they're just not using the euphemisms as much anymore.

1 not convinced that what got leaked in those chats is evidence of new radicalization. These are just the grandkids of the ppl who thought of lynchings as a family picnic day

2 annoyed that by pretending it's new, we now have ppl waxing nostalgic for the old gop as if they weren't also bigoted af

This is how I survive, being trans online. Where I live there are a lot of people, with guns, who hate trans people, who hate LGBTQ+ people in general, and would LOVE to commit violence against us. My family would kick me out and I'd likely die.

So here I am, open and out, but only here.

For many trans people, internet anonymity is only a temporary way station between the closet and living full time in their desired gender. What happens when that privacy is gone?

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked
