By age 30, you should have at least (2) original characters, (3) pieces of media you love apologetically despite obvious flaws, and (1) kink that takes at least thirty seconds to explain

people getting wise to this is the reason big tech companies with chat clients are now auto-converting links into previews as a "feature" so you don't think about how much source data is being harvested

Camp @campfireharve.st · Jul 11

I saw an infographic a couple years ago about how to remove source identifiers from links and why it's important, but I can't find it again and too many people I know are sending me links with them so here's an infographic straight from the oven

Header text: "HEY YOU! YES YOU! TAKE THIS SHIT OUT OF LINKS!"

This is followed by a couple example urls, with a red square highlighting the sections with source identifiers. The rest of the text is as follows:

Source identifiers are used to track your activity on a site. Where you came from, what device you use, and even who you talk to. Whether it's written clearly in the url or tied to a random string of characters, it's assigned to your activity.

When you send a link containing a source identifier to somebody and they click it, it signals to the website that you two are connected. And that data goes right back to the website operators, and thus their advertisers.

Whenever you select "share" or "copy link" on a social app or website, it creates a link like this. If you give even the smallest shit about online privacy, it's important to remove them. Everything after the "?" symbol can be removed without issue, especially sections starting with "si=" or "utm_source="

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

genderfluid was another possibility, but that didn't feel accurate to me
if i had to describe my particular flavor of bigender, it's like
my transfemm and bustyboy parts are two textures z-fighting in a source engine game, overlapping and flickering between each other in the same spot

reposting this old meme i made for twitter. for no particular reason

head with the thought "I think you're cool and I'd love to chat and be friends with you" and an arrow pointing to the mouth, which is producing a speech bubble saying *silently interacts with dozens and dozens of your posts*

even if this joke hypothetical phobe tried the more subtle Suspiciously Refers To You Exclusively By They/Them When You Don't Identify As They/Them trick or pull a neopronoun out of their ass they end up validating they/them and neopronouns as pronouns and once again look dumb

stick win every time

Mâché @machetheferret.bsky.social · Sep 15

benefits to possessing both she & he pronouns
1. if someone tries to misgender me in the future they’ll look like a fool no matter what angle they try to go about it. she? yep that’s correct. he? yep that’s also correct. it? even if they try to use it derogatorily, I still rock it
2. gigantic melons
