@ghalidrim oh god, are you supposed to report when pets die? these fucking monsters

If you get a call from your bank reporting fraud, and they ask you for your current card CVV and PIN: DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM. Thread about a convincing new scam. twitter.com/cabel/status/1…

A quick primer on where to put bins on streets with curbside protected lanes...

@jephjacques it’s different from “men are trash” because people cannot choose whether they are men (same for trans men, they don’t have a choice), but some people choose to become cops because something about being a cop appeals to something in their personalities

@jephjacques I think some cops want to do good & are good people but mostly the type of person who wants to become a cop is not a good person to begin with and wants to be able to bully others, and putting a bunch of those people together in a group exacerbates those tendencies in all of them

I don't read Hebrew but I really appreciate how this propaganda poster from year ???? has the trans flag as a rainbow instagram.com/p/Bn7T9VYBk1y/…

@ghalidrim I never tried that but roll up even straight leg pants when biking

@ghalidrim hard disagree!

@jhelwig oh, you used gender neutral pronouns, and my hopes went up

💯🔥 twitter.com/mollywoodstock…

@jhelwig are they really a they though? gender neutral representation in something besides billions? is it so???

UNDERTALE is out on Nintendo Switch!!!

And with that, my work here is done...

it’s really happening

today I biked past some college girls wearing 90s jnco style big ass legged skater/raver pants

omg

@_buupy oh no what does it really stand for

I used to work on an open source project called Project Steve Gutenberg (PSG)

(it was a blogging platform and the name was a pun on the actor [imdb.com/name/nm0000430/] and also Project Gutenberg [gutenberg.org])

REPUBLICANS: who can be sure about what happened 36 years ago

ALSO REPUBLICANS: when the founding fathers put a comma in this sentence they meant we can have assault rifles

‘Hire a sex worker’ is not the solution for entitled men. Sex workers are not ‘guaranteed’ either and can revoke consent and choose to not provide services. You all need to stop treating sex workers like waste management.

My @nest doorbell automatically locks the front door when it sees a face it doesn't recognize. Today it didn't recognize me, so I went into the app to investigate and...

Meritocrats: We should judge contributions on their own merit, regardless of who wrote them.

Also meritocrats: The Contributor Covenant is poisonous because I disagree with the politics of its author.

Make up your mind?

Non-binary isn’t skinny white androgyny

Non-binary is diversity, freedom, comfortability, individuality etc

Using they/them pronouns isn’t exclusive to those who look androgynous, and it’s not a pronoun to be used only when you remember

so apparently if you don’t want to see rando’s tweets on ur TL bc a person you’re following liked said tweet, if you put in “suggest_activity_tweet” in muted keywords it won’t show those anymore twitter.com/_rightofleft/s…

Cop stumbles into the wrong apartment, kills the guy who lives there. Cops THEN search the guy's apartment, discovering some weed. Is the reaction to that supposed to be an accepting head-nod and maybe awe at the reveal of Minority Report: Precog Cop edition?

Retweet this if your retirement plan is basically “Civilization will probably crumble before I’m 65 and money will be meaningless anyway.”

everything to remain bad, get worse

First time leaning close to an other white person in a red ball cap on the street to say 'Get a different color of hat.'

everything might be awful and I might be barely holding on sometimes, but at least the weather’s getting better (/rainier) and the best month is coming up (october)

@jasonhobson feel better soon! also, you’ve just removed a big stress point so stop that (I know this doesn’t help in the slightest)

@jasonhobson oh no did you get the pax pox from me? I’m sorry!

why are there so many motorists out on a sunday

I understand that if I’m lucky I will live long enough to die in the upcoming climate change apocalypse

I just hope I live long enough to see the demise of privately owned vehicles first

whatever earthbound fan is doing the background music for @AllusionistShow: I hear you

@stephbarnhart are you getting more men’s small in?

got my #xoxo badge and a very nice pronoun pin but couldn’t get a t-shirt because some jerks took all the ones of the size I requested

back on the bike after four days in Seattle for #pax and then two days home with #PaxPox

@Gwobs @SuperSoulBros absolutely

Someone who works at a charity shop put Jeff Goldblum in every single photo frame 😂

(the lore runs deep: m.youtube.com/watch?v=MvXAbk… )

recorded during the @SuperSoulBros show in the expo hall yesterday, which was definitely a highlight of the four #PAX I’ve attended!

they will be playing there again today and you should go see them!

also, when I told someone the blooky is as big as my torso, I wasn’t using hyperbole

good morning, y’all.

I’m real glad I got the blooky. they are super cuddly and when I went back to the expo hall yesterday there were no others left.

the @SuperSoulBros are doing a concert right now in the expo hall and if you miss it then you’re missing the coolest thing at #pax twitter.com/SuperSoulBros/…

You know what happens when someone speaks up about accusations about someone else? If you don't say what they want to hear, the mob then goes after you. Silence isn't necessarily being complicit, it's avoiding the swarm that's just waiting to eat the next person alive.

What happens with social media is not only do people think accusations are true without evidence or an investigation, but there becomes a mob mentality of demanding those close to the accused person speak up about accusations.

@_lbaillie they are clearly a magician

programming has things called "threads" and things called "strings" and they somehow have fuck all to do with each other

@trekonomics feel like it’s not a coincidence that every woman i know in her mid 30s or above is self-possessed, hypercompetent, confident, knowledgeable, knows exactly what she wants and society is like “begone, crone”

Speaker emphasises that this isn't intended to undermine the contributions to science made by Feynman, but that doesn't mean we can talk about his achievements without including the whole person and the effect he had on women in science

@gains_tweets the best innovations out of mastodon are CWs and the inability to search on non-hashtagged words

I get sad when people generalize 80s graphic design and art as just "pink neon lights and grid patterns" when there was a lot of cool crazy shit everyones missing out on...

I love when former presidents give each other hard candy or whatever. I have a huge iron rod embedded in my skull. When I think too hard, blood spurts out.

(update: I got the blooky)

on the one hand, I feel like it’s too on brand for me to not get this napstablook friend, on the other it is expensive and just a thing I’ll shove in the corner and resent for taking up space (which is also fitting)

*deep voice* celebrities are often less rich than you think twitter.com/LupeEdge45/sta…

FUCK YEAH instagram.com/p/BnK_QvZBpZ6/…

I hate all the tiny ways trans people are made to feel invalid

“Her *preferred* pronouns are she/her”
“She *identifies* as a girl”

I just *am* a girl. My pronouns just *are* she/her

Cis people are never said to identify as their gender and they just get to have their pronouns

@TheGodOfLions mission accomplished

a bunch of dudes wearing “Make Azeroth Great Again” hats is the most tone deaf thing I’ve seen so far at this #PAX in the year 2018

“sorry if it offends you” from one of them, once confronted, is the most infuriating thing I’ve heard

I work out to get swole to help with dysphoria.

I debate going on T because any body hair changes would make me extremely more dysphoric. you can’t choose what order you get T changes in.

💜💜💜

same. my dysphoria was mostly related to my chest which is why I got top surgery.

I love my scars, but not through any strength of will- just as a fuck you to my meat and a reminder of my capacity to heal.

I’m still dysphoric about my voice, hips, height… twitter.com/AshHardell/sta…
