You know, some days I sit and think about how absolutely wild it is that we've built a society where we don't provide a place for people to even sleep at night without having to pay for it, and that we've somehow made it seem like that's normal.

I've been a furry for 20 years now, a real greymuzzle. And if you talk to furries we almost all have at least 1 "awakening" character that made us realize we love anthropomorphic animal media. (Robin Hood is a classic, hence all the foxes) I remember 1 person begrudgingly cite 30/30 from"Bravestarr"

I still don't have any takers here - it's a complex use case, so I didn't expect one right away, but if you know anyone who uses or could benefit from switch access hit me up
Posting this just made me remember something and I’m angry with myself bc I should have said this sooner

I have a lot used for testing that ends up not being used, and I have this Xbox adaptive controller and the full kit. Happy to ship it to any gamer who HAS THE NEED for the full controller

This also happened during Trump’s first term. That 2024 dip? That’s when Democrats went on the defensive, and let Trump and MAGA dictate the immigration narrative.

Why, it’s almost as if political leadership (good and bad) can actually drive public opinion, instead of always following it.
This is extremely important

This is very true, but also worth noting, TERFs are enablers of fascism, and just as worth standing up to.
Seeing TERFs claiming that you never see TRAs infiltrating and confronting Nazis but instead they harass TERFs.

Which is wild because I know several trans women within a 5 mile area who've been physically injured standing in the way of Nazis (in the last year alone, thanks to the uptick in fascism)

YouTube, by the by, earns money from gambling, as it runs fucking ads for gambling sites!

As I said in a previous video, you can communicate any fucked up thing you like on YT so long as you don’t use the no-no words.

This honestly might be the most pathetic thing YT’s done to me.

This is a perfect example of how YouTube is forcing people to inhibit language, disarm words, and kill context.

Gambling games DO NOT LIKE the word gambling. They do not use it. That is WHY their critics use the fucking word. To take the word away only *helps* those who profit from gambling

Fuck YouTube. I would rather my videos stay removed than edit them to cut out the word gambling. For years, my work was about how loot boxes were gambling, and I used the word because companies didn’t want the word used.

I’d sooner lose every video than destroy the point of them.

Fuck. YouTube.

It's amazing how comfortable YouTube is allowing people who have hundreds of videos harassing people, but they draw a line with discussing gambling mechanics in gaming (often in games aimed at children)

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.
