Okay, I am going to tell a little story. It's one I have saved for the last couple years, almost nobody knows about it. But it lives in my heart. I don't know how others will feel about it, maybe something, maybe nothing. It's about the Uncanny X-Men. 1/

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

The new bluesky account wide adult content label thing is horrendous, indiscriminately hiding all posts from a person just bc they've posted adult content - they need to reverse this so badly

Hey, I heard all ICE agents masturbate by sticking their dicks into cold banana peels while watching paused morgue scenes from old CSI shows. Is that true? Can anyone confirm this? I don't want to spread any unsubstantiated rumors.

Text SIGN PADRRG to 50409 to urge Congress to bring the Trust Through Transparency Act to a vote. This bill would require all federal immigration enforcement officers to wear body-worn cameras during all public-facing enforcement actions, create clear rules for footage retention and @resist.bot

That part. They don't actually care about men's mental health they just use it as a talking point to shut women up. In any other context they'd be mocking men who are suffering.

When I worked on The Office, Greg Daniels had a list of questions he asked of every story. Some were show-specific (eg “Are we saying something truthful if exaggerated about office life?”), but many are applicable to any script. Here’s a little thread on them… 🧵1/X #Scriptsky #Screenwriting

It is no comfort to tell someone who is struggling that others have it worse. At best, you add guilt to their worries. At worst, you invoke wider despair. A true warrior knows not to borrow trouble, and to help your comrades, not add to their burdens.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Fundamentally Trump is trying to convert America into a dictatorship, where he issues orders, and then they become law, either because everyone ignores the other laws, or because they are affirmed and validated by a completely compliant Supreme Court and Congress.

OH JESUS HENRY CHRIST. Apparently it's only the adult zebras who make the weird "orgasming geese" sound. Baby zebras on the other hand are something different and vaguely Satanic. Listen at your own risk.

All of a sudden, I got curious about what kind of noises do zebras make and, my friends, I wasn't ready. By God, I was NOT ready.

If you think you wrote something with AI — no you didn’t. Other people wrote it, and you just used a plagiarism machine to keep yourself from knowing their names.

Seeing a minor spike in very obviously "AI" generated submissions so far this year. One didn't even hide and tried to claim in a cover letter that it was "there right" to do so. When certain (like this one), bans were issued.

Ohio has basically defacto banned trans healthcare for adults using a similar strategy to why there was only a handful of abortion clinics in the entire Midwest before the Dobbs decision (TRAP laws) cis people please repost this so this info doesn't get stuck in the queer social bubble

Breaking: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine (R) bans, by executive order, gender-affirming surgery for minors, effective immediately. The move followed last week's veto of a broader bill. He also announced two proposed rules that will apply to all care, including adults. substack.com/profile/2269...

Literally just witnessed a 20ish-year-old man sit down next to a woman reading a book in a coffee shop, get her attention, ask her what she was reading, and then react blankly to the reply before telling her how much he liked 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson

If we really jumped timelines, awesome shit should be happening too. By now Kristi Yamaguchi would be married to Anthony Scaramucci, they would’ve hyphenated their names and had a baby name Poochi.
