Abuse 

I once had an abusive relative contact me on LinkedIn, while I was in the middle of a massive job search. They decided to message me to apologize (in an insulting way, ofc). I flipped the fuck out. I blocked them and got really paranoid about using the site for weeks.

Any odd or painful social media interaction is made 10x more cursed if it's on LinkedIn.

Help finding depictions of positive masculinity in media, Please boost 

Hey, so it's not too difficult to find games, movies, comics, etc that specifically depict powerful female protagonists and/or trans women because these works tend to specifically be labeled as such.

I have a friend, who is a trans man, that's trying to find works that depict inspiring male role models. He's trying to find works to better help him understand positive masculinity. Does anyone have any ideas?

still confused how a company named "trans union" became capitalism hell

Amazon is encouraging me to become That Guy With The Anime Avatar

Meta 

Trust me, I've yelled about cws plenty. Some accounts never use cws. That's their prerogative. You are allowed to mute or block those ppl. That onus is on you.
Asking strangers to cw is gonna get you backlash. No one wants to be told to cw by a stranger. Sometimes, if it's your friend and they do it nicely, it works. But no one is going to assume fair play from a stranger on the internet.

TERFs 

Hey, if you're coming to fedi from Twitter because you're upset about Wings over Scotland getting banned:

Fuck off back to Twitter.

You're not welcome here and nor is that fascist prune.

Every once in a while, I try to listen to Zen Arcade, and I can never get through it. It just doesn't speak to me at all.

Meme meta, corporate manipulation 

If you meme a brand or commercial, you are not, as you might think, sticking it to them for their bad advertising. You are doing exactly what they intended for you to do, and giving them free advertising. Please be meme-aware.

If your leftism talks over other minority voices, it's trash.

If it talks over BIPOC, it's trash.

If it talks over queer issues, it's trash.

If it talks over disabled people, it's trash.

It's all inclusive, or it's the same bullshit that we have now with a new paintjob.

country music gets a bad wrap but mostly because it was co-opted by white ppl and what they turned it into sucks as most music white ppl make sucks. real country music - that is, written and sung by black artists, fucking SLAPS.

@avi look at thos cute hoomans speaking in their quiet voices, I wonder how they call other hoomans far away when they need tho...

If elephants think humans are cute, what aspects do you think they would be posting about if there was an elephant internet?

Are they amused by how we go about on two legs, or have tiny little noses, or use our hands for things the way they use their trunks?

@avi I'd call 'em Scooby Doo generations. (Pretty much like how we do that with the Pokémon anime)
