@RayEau @georgetakei And what are queer minors or people who are too poor to move supposed to do? The problem with "let them have their fascist haven" is that there will always, always be people who can't get out. Their lives are at risk. We have to fight back.

@misty My spouse works for Splunk and really likes it there. Not sure what they have open right now, but it's probably worth a look.

Take care of the GenXers in your life. Most of us had to grow up way too fast and reacted to that by reclaiming our childhoods at 30. Now we're about to be thrust into senior-generation responsibility, cleaning up after the previous generations' fuckery once again, when we'd rather just keep playing video games and collecting action figures. We might be just a tad bitter about this.

@mk@mastodon.satoshishop.de @repeattofade For me, it means "genders both like and unlike my own."

@DemocracyMattersALot Pretty sure the repeated trauma of "faith" throughout my childhood is part of why my brain doesn't do dopamine right.

@Aviva_Gary @StillIRise1963 What do you mean by "the system?" Be specific.

@Aviva_Gary Not specific enough. Who do you think is running this nefarious show? Who's behind it all? Or could the answer maybe--just maybe--be that 40% of Americans vote for monsters and the rest of us need to get off our asses to combat that?

@mikemathia Honestly, the Hemingway story isn't automatically a tragedy anyway. I have a bunch of unworn baby clothes because my enormous kids grew out of them before they could wear them.

@StillIRise1963 I have to wonder where this fervor was during Trump's previous term, when Bibi was ALSO being a murderous shitbag. Why is it only cropping up in an election year, when it can be used by propagandists to suppress voters in the service of getting Trump back in office? And where is the fervor for all the other violent oppression in the world? Why are these same people silent about Putin and Modi, for instance?People are getting suckered into letting Trump win. It's ridiculous.

@ericthegrim @StillIRise1963 Not saying there isn't a genuine crisis. I'm saying that the anti-Biden/anti-voting rhetoric coming along with it is propaganda being pushed by people *who are on Bibi's side.*

@charliejane The only "real" reading is a writer doing revisions. Everything else is just fluff.

@nicholas @dgar This reminds me of the time my then 8 y/o told me that maybe Japan wasn't the only place that had ninjas, and other places just had better ones.

@ErikUden Queer is a good umbrella term for the community as a whole, to avoid the alphabet soup. It's also the best thing to describe a lot of us, because it doesn't get into nor imply specifics, and doesn't require a lengthy explanation.I could say, "I'm enby and attracted to multiple genders and physical configurations, but I neither identify with nor am I attracted to stereotypical gender presentations or heterosexuality." Or I could say, "I'm queer." Easy peasy.

Seeing far too many people clinging to the belief that there's some sort of magical legal loophole Democrats in Congress can use to keep Trump out of office. 1. There isn't.2. This is the same sort of bullshit logic his own crew used to try to fuck with the previous certification. Knock it tf off.

@TonyStark Especially because it's effectively a copy of the other GOP m.o.: Break government, then claim government doesn't work and it should be shut down. Keep Democrats from having enough seats to do anything, then claim that Democrats don't do anything, and they get even fewer votes next time! Magically, the GOP keeps winning. Huh. Gods, I wish we didn't have so many gullible dipshits on the left.

And the worst part is that the perpetuation of this myth is going to lead to people lying YET FUCKING AGAIN that Democrats have failed to do anything and therefore we should never vote for them.
