Anyone who's spent time in smaller online forums has met a mod like Musk. You can tell it's gonna be a disaster from the moment they take over. Using their mod powers to settle personal scores, making up new rules to justify them, apologizing and reversing course, taking polls, offering to step down and then not doing it...

idk with my already massive love/obsession with mecha and assorted giant robots, seeing the latest gundam series, produced by the actual original series creator give broad support of homosexuality is important to me, especially considering how massive the market for this show is internationally, and in japan.

Show thread

like, the entire line basically implies that the main character being surprised lesbians are legal/normal is a massive outlier because she's from a tiny backwater planet, and that gay relationships are normal to the point of this being a surprising thing in the entire rest of the solar system

Show thread

i cannot believe that this was the year i got into the gundams, and purely because the new one wafted the vague promise of lesbians in front of me (and, you know, in the same line implied a broad support of gay relationships in said universe without any condemnation)

i think the thing with social media is that when you're new anywhere people will (generally, unless they're assholes) give you a modicum of attention for being new stimulus to their feeds, and unless you manage to court a following after a while you will no longer have that attention. that's what drove me to mastodon in 2017 and that's what drove me back to twitter in 2021, and each time i noticed i got more attention on my work no matter how hard i posted about it.

i've been getting on a Justice kick lately especially Newlands for the hard-hitting beats, but Gaspard Augé's solo stuff is good too, that's what's mostly been on rotation lately unless i'm listening to something from Soma FM because i can't be bothered to curate my own listening

i just realised, another bonus to being here (not to mastodon as a whole mind you) is that unlike twitter, i can...boost...on desktop. i genuinely seriously cannot retweet on desktop twitter anymore, if i see something i like, i have to get my phone out of my pocket...just amazing

or, you know, boosting this to reach a larger audience would also be appreciated....just saying

Show thread

anyway, god, i need this year coming to be better for me and mavica, we could really use good news, and lots of it, i'm trying to hold onto our new years kiss being a good luck charm for next year, we have to make it through this

anyway, terfs are fascist recruiters to defang feminism and intersectionality, jk rowling is a rich white woman whose greatest problem now is caviar or veal, and elon musk can die in a fire :D

Show thread

you ever seen a man who is so terminally divorced that his own userbase is constantly trying to run away with the kids? amazing

Show thread

anyway, sucks that elmo banned my girlfriend from twitter for being straight up cooler and hotter than him, chump

Show thread

currently have a hilarious mental image in my head of melon husk climbing into one of his auto-incendiary automobiles, closing the door, and it detonating instantly, and his charred corpse is sitting in the drivers seat as his toupe is carried off by the flaming wind

it's funny to me how some people here say they don't want twitter users coming here because they're toxic while during my original tenure in the fediverse 2017-2021 the fediverse was more toxic to me than 10 years of twitter and tumblr combined so like maybe it's not where you post maybe some people just shouldn't have the internet at all

Obviously there's a lot to be said for modern medicine, but I cannot help but feel that "sending a lady to the seaside for six weeks of rest to treat her depression/chronic condition/terminal illness" is something we should bring back.
