No other word has done more damage to the craft of writing in recent years than “content”. Even if you’re using the word “content” ironically, or as a cute little joke, don’t. When someone calls writing “content” they’re pissing on someone’s hard work & passion. “Content” is Technosatan’s henchword.

Republicans are for “state’s rights” when that means promoting segregation and tormenting LGBTQ folks.
When state’s rights means feeding your state’s residents, they are all in for the federal government ensuring starvation.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

Babes, that’s not inclusion, and you know it. And I guarantee you those femme nonbinary people don’t like it either.

Every time you get the urge to buy a new Microsoft product, first ask yourself "Will this be as good as Jet Set Radio Future"? And if the answer is no, as it inevitably will be, you should leave it on the shelf and go play Jet Set Radio Future instead.

Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

you are not an incubator. you’re a person first and foremost. you get to decide what you do or don’t do with your body. it’s okay if you never want to have kids. you can be happy without them. you can be fulfilled without them. don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Since time immemorial, man has feared that women would choose the bear.
![Moral panic
In 1907, a Catholic priest in Michigan declared teddy bears to be "horrible monstrosities", which by supplanting the "good old dolls" would cause girls to lose the urge to nurture babies, leading to declining birth rates among the white population and race suicide. The suggestion attracted widespread but short-lived attention.[18]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreifxrmmgxo3bc6lb62jd2zfsutjx7pltattsfddg6lud26nx3ac6x4@jpeg)
