@_lbaillie oh, part of what I love about blue apron is the cooking! I love to cook, and am pretty good at it, but hate deciding what to cook and then buying ingredients for the cooking

@_lbaillie yes! blue apron has both saved me and destroyed my ability to buy things to make meals from scratch on my own- it’s blue apron or boxed mac and cheese, only, forever.

move forward, not backward,

upward, not forward,

tbh, my biggest problem with the episode was the message to “grow up” and that “queer is just a column”

live as loud as you can, to make up for the times when you couldn’t

“acting your age” is just a societal construct that tries to preserve the past

the show is for educated queer folk, sure, but it’s ALSO for people who are completely new to all this stuff, to raise awareness and acceptance

it’s doing that work in educating, so maybe the rest of us have to to a bit less

it’s 101/not universally applicable stuff, as entry

I guess some people’s “inspiration porn” is other people’s camaraderie, or means to educate the average person who has never even thought about what some trans man have to go through before

apparently some people found the Skyler episode of Queer Eye really problematic 😫

I saw this episode, wherein Skyler was 6 weeks post top surgery, when I was 6 weeks post my own top surgery.

I loved it so much, and still feel it did more good than harm

People say you shouldn't lose friends over politics, but hear me out: it is very okay, and in fact good, to lose friends who approve of keeping children captive in order to negotiate the building of large walls.

@_birdmachine does something happen at thirty?

does proper mean anything useful at all?

Ok easily the best political ad I’ve very seen. And yes I know the bar is pretty low but this is just objectively excellent. twitter.com/prchovanec/sta…

@jhelwig you could choose not to play with others, but they’d still be around, potentially griefing you

@jhelwig my impression was that you could play on the same server as your friends seamlessly, but you’d also be playing with other people on the same server

I pre-ordered Fallout 76 so I guess it’s time to have renewed anxiety over how much I don’t want other humans in my fallout games

Please share.

@rstevens you sir, are the best 💜

please stop using the term "concentration camp" it devalues my 8th grade history education where we were taught the rise of fascism was a unique one-time event that will never happen again because we now live in a perfectly stable world where people arent becoming fascist anymore

the WHO has finally updated their ICD to say that being trans is not a mental disorder 🎉🙌

a long overdue change, tbh. being trans is not and never has been a mental illness. twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/s…

adding some "cybernetic implants" onto your characters to make your story cyberpunk is exactly like gluing some gears to a hat to make it steampunk.

Something that’s important to remember is that there are many people who are *thrilled* by what this administration is doing. Not a small number of people, a lot of people. The people in your life may be outraged but there are lots of folks feeling even more excited & emboldened.

Hey idiots. They told you not to call it a cage and now you’re all debating THAT.

STOP TAKING THE FUCKING BAIT.

They do something terrible. Then they say something stupid. And you chase the latter. Every. Fucking. Time.

@ahninjas I actually bet those rules WILL go away. we just need to raise awareness of how much they suck.

@maggiekarp but we don’t need those either? just drop the fluff and get to the point? I might be too east coast.

@ahninjas nah, but you can just drop it entirely- “excuse me” works better than people seem to think when getting attention, and “thank you”, etc when you are already talking to people doesn’t need extra words

biggest change I can think of is to never use “miss”, “ma’am”, “sir”, etc.

I know y’all think it’s polite but your two second “politeness” might make someone feel like garbage for the rest of the day/week twitter.com/mxacdumlao/sta…

@gains_tweets my dad loves suicide squad. dads!

“dress up like a them” DRESS UP LIKE A THEM, HOW DO YOU DRESS UP LIKE A THEM

And you cannot -- I can't believe we are still going over this -- you cannot convert a fascist to a nonfascist by appealing to their empathy.

No atrocity ever was stopped by a victim standing up and saying "please, understand, I'm just a human like you"

@jhelwig cereal, chocolate chips, marshmallows. smores pizza.

the pride parade started five minutes ago and the protesters are already here, with megaphones 🙄

🤢🤮 instagram.com/p/BkIeApQhXyg/…

Bigots with power are counting on you to “not make a scene.” They are counting on us to overly emphasize civility. Because once you approach their willingness to violate the rights of minorities and immigrants as a mere difference of opinion, they know they’ve won.

omg, the episode with the adorable guy who is six weeks post top surgery and SO HAPPY 😍💜😍💜😍

@ahninjas yes! it’s a great movie!

many of these are great movies- I just wish I could trade in the physical copies for some remotely hosted streamable copies, and get rid of all this… stuff

my closet

my outdated media, taking up space

for instance… my fridge.

watching the new queer eye and imagining all the ways the fab five would judge me if they saw the way I live

What a beautiful ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet. I wonder what ageless wisdom it conveys?

Just found out that the reason WWDC has a Code of Conduct is because someone from Apple read ours, and asked management that they have one too. So that’s cool!

@ghalidrim I 100% thought you did that on purpose 😂

when considering how the agents of fascism should be engaged, try to see them through the eyes of tomorrow looking back at today: as kidnappers and murderers, deserving neither your collaboration nor your respect but rather your active resistance and unbridled contempt

Not seeing race is worse than hating because of race. Same goes with gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.
