Yes please I can maybe get u 2 wife for the price of one

Femboys are the best 👌

I’m with you.

I was there! And so were a TON of other people. Gives me hope. Either the fascists back down or the people will rise up.

Anger is absolutely a huge turn-off for me. As is all that ‘tough-love’ talk. If it’s not very explicitly explained to me, it comes across as just being an asshole. Even if it is explained, there’s a good chance I’ll be annoyed someone else decides they can 'teach me a lesson’if I’m not already intimately familisr with them. People assuming they know you well enough to redefine you is… Pretty rude, generally.

A government official known for performing a nazi salute just broadcast an ableist slur.

Cool cool cool

As a Washingtonian, I would unironically support this. I’m sick of being forced to fund a fucking genocide.

None of that invalidates anything I said. I don’t give a fuck what a state thinks you’re called.

Your name is far more important than that. It’s personal. It shapes how you think of yourself, and how others see you. It could be free, or it could be illegal. It would be exactly as important.

When you get the chance to choose your name, you choose the one that makes you happy. It’s for you, not others. Your existence shouldn’t have to be convenient. Seek your joy, as long as it isn’t harming others.

This looks cool! Any android apps?

The voter suppression sure didn’t help. Millions of key votes blatantly ignored because of the race of the voter. Only one to report on it is the Guardian.

I literally cheered out loud. I needed this hope. Do not bend to Fascism. Better to die defying dictators than help them rule. Obviously, if you have the option, preserve yourself. But this is the prisoner’s dilemma on a massive scale.

They’re doomed to eventually get what they’re asking for.

God I want to

I’m so glad I can feel safe here. I love this place.

Honestly on board with this. 196 took up more of Blahaj than I liked and always had a weirdly dissonant feel to the rest of the instance. I’m not really a fan of 196 personally, though, so my opinion is colored by that.

That’s awful. I had no idea :(

God, she was one of my favorite artists. This is really crushing to learn. It’s so counter to everything she seemed to stand for.

And fuck, Ampersand no longer feels like an empowering song about marriage.

God that’s hot af

Nothing they said there seems unreasonable. They/them seems like a perfectly normal (and more importantly neutral) default way of referring to people. If I was in person with someone, and they started throwing a fit because I defaulted to they/them for them (which I usually do), I would assume they were a bigot who doesn’t understand pronouns.

Not saying that’s the case with these other people, but I believe there’s a reasonable limitation on how much you can expect strangers to assume/understand on first meeting.
