Kiwifarms musings, recovering from hate 

Reading the KiwiFarms forums is incredibly emotionally exhausting these days, and it's not like I can just ignore them anymore when they occasionally target folks close to me, and are known to produce mass shooters.

It's hard to believe that this sort of toxicity is what I used to surround myself with, and that it is so normalized in that sort of discourse. In a lot of ways, they hurt themselves and those close to them by getting involved in this, almost as much as they hurt their victims.

There are some people who I know from a past life in there who genuinely depress me, because they're heading straight towards a total life burnout stage and I can't help but wonder how much happier they'd be if they could just leave the fear and resentment of the other behind. I can tell that they are hiding a lot of things about themselves for fear of being torn apart by their own too.

So basically we have exactly two weeks to get a lawyer and it's gonna cost us $4000 up front, so anything anyone can spare and/or any boosts will help

Bernie people, your guy just wants to rename and/or redistribute ICE

Sorry, it's true

The whole entire federal-level Democratic party, Bernie included, needs a reckoning with their role in facilitating the border policies that Trump took advantage of and escalated

Beauty, elegance, grace, wisdom, a winning smile... she popped into your head before you even had to open the picture, didn't she? 😊

TN, homophobia, adoption 

#Tennessee gov will sign the bill which protects the taxpayer funding of "faith-based" (in this context, bigoted) organizations that deny adoption to #LGBTQ prospective parents nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/te

All joking and shitposting aside, gender is such a relative and arbitrary notion that He or She as pronouns make as much sense as saying you're a Republican or a Democrat.

Real life's more Complicated than that.

Strange how the same right wingers who say "come and take them!" with such bravado when discussing basic gun control are the same ones who say "but they're ILLEGAL!" when talking about undocumented immigration.

It's almost like they have no consistent moral compass or something.

Apparently it's even got to the point where US news outlets are telling their UK divisions to calm down with the transphobia, how is it that the press is still able to be extremely transphobic?

A selfie not entirely bad for an old trans woman, I hope

Example: just because I am accessing a Google site from an IP geolocated in Japan does not mean I want content localized in Japanese. Especially if my browser is already telling the web server I want it in English. Which it is.

Google is causing incalculable damage to the global web with its search indexer not respecting Accept-Language and Content-Language and encouraging webmasters to detect language preferences by IP geolocation instead of respecting the user agent's explicitly provided preference.

tonight i explained to my 3 year old why "the police arrest Bad People" (a sentence uttered in one episode of a toddler show she watches) is incorrect in an age-appropriate way.

i feel immense relief about this because i can't maintain my integrity if i allow my kid to develop the idea that cops and rules are inherently good.

Social media is distorting our sense of mainstream opinion. Twitter has become journalists’ easiest and most reliable source of OMG stories. This gives the social network—and its most active users—outsize power to shape the political conversation. theatlantic.com/international/

Yes, I received this free, but damn, it's good stuff. If your tastes include the feistier side of synthwave, you might want to give this a listen.

Lewd dream 

So I had a dream where my boobs were a lot bigger, and I made the executive decision to walk around topless with just a flannel shirt pulled up over my tits.

Yanno, they DO feel bigger and softer, so it's not too far off.

Anyways, boobs. <3

Holy shit my spouse got an arm tattoo today that says "QUEER." with big bold letters and a period *and* THEY THEM knuckle tats as well and I am even more in love with them than ever

Chuds love to talk about "the original intent" of the constitution while wearing a blue live matter hat like the 2nd amendment wasnt to make sure they could shoot cops
