we put the 'fashion' in 'lesbian fashion disaster'

eventually we're going to find out about every single person on fedi because they start dating someone else we know.

really just going for "oh no they're hot" vibes in my day to day

Immigrant families are still being detained and separated and mistreated. Don't let this make you complacent. There's still a shit ton of work to be done

Things haven't gotten much better. I've heard Nazi chants walk through my apartment complex. In my hometown I saw 2 white men with the red hats at a 1776 themed bar. I'm legit scared of cars or houses that wave the American flag.

Honestly, you don't even know what it was like to be a poc after the election. The day after, I was legit scared to leave the apartment. I was scared to be on campus and know that fuckin any of these people could've been the ones who voted him in. A friend from Taiwan said she got shouted at on the street that now he's in office and she needs to go back to where she came from.

You can never trust white people

Normalize being worse at stuff over time

Like, fuck, sometimes that's just how it happens esp for disabled folks but really for everyone

if you think that you can’t be nonbinary because you think you don’t look androgynous this is your reminder that you don’t owe anyone androgyny. if you feel enby, you are, and i love you.

lesbians can have little a sword

we're not genetically related, we're just memetically related

I wish everybody knew about https://outline.com

when "hey you should read article! [link]" leads you to some hideous monstrosity of popups, autoplaying videos, and begging for/demanding money to read the damn text, you can instead:

1. copy the URL
2. paste it into the outline.com box
3. enjoy reading the actual text
4. (optional) say "not today, Satan"

sometimes it doesn't work, for some mysterious, unexplained reason. outline.com sometimes chokes on NYT articles, for example, but other times if I close the tab it's in, open an new tab, and try pasting the url again, it works, so.

anyway yeah! spread the news!

hot take

"nerd" is my favorite playful insult, because i am one and i'm reclaiming it and tbh y'all are such nerds too 💖

idk if i could love someone who doesn't have at least one off-the-wall special interest or weird way of looking at the world

Hey rad town i have a request : can you send to me the best enby memes you have on ur phone or whatever ? It's for a friend haha. Boosts more than welcome

oh one more resource

lets you block websites you keep opening that you don't want to

useful if there's a request to boycott a website for a set time period, or if you just keep having mental health breakdowns checking on harassment sites when you really don't need to!

it's fucking useless to argue on the internet and tell people in need not to use something without giving them any alternative and then call them scabs for it

it's not useless to give ppl what they need, to say "hey you can just venmo me directly and i'll give you a ride, let's skip the whole uber system", to say "here's videos and podcasts that aren't on youtube", to tell people "here's how to get your shit delivered without amazon"
and those can stick outside the strike and that's *important*
