Pro tip: If the people who make their money by preying on the working class are happy, then you should be worried.
@hazelcakes.bsky.social second this wholeheartedly. i think if you give over to the ride and just know you’re gonna be on it for a few hours, it’s a love letter to cinema history and excess and v worth it. and if that doesn’t sound like your vibe, skip
it meeeee 😇

oh hello again, folks. guess we’re doing this for real this time
so we went to bestia and the bathrooms say “whomever” and “whoever” and i obviously chose the “whomever” and i feel like i just came out as grammatically correct
the neurodivergent impulse to freeze when you’ve got a lot to do 😐
Honestly I never want to see the word "disrupt" used in the context of any specific industry because it inevitably means "destroy that sector's middle-class to more efficiently funnel money to the already-rich"
Yesterday, it took me approximately 5 seconds of searching to find an inflammatory anti-Rohingya video from extremist Burmese monk Ashin Wirathu on a publicly-available (IE, no log-in required) Facebook page.
Facebook has not fixed their genocide-enabling hate speech problem.
We had a good ten years where a bunch of nobodies like us could report on power centers and structural inequality and abuses of power and citizens from government, employers and their surrogates. The end of Twitter as that vehicle really was the end of that, which was obviously the point.
i feel like with this whole X thing we’ve just witnessed the first full on major country takeover where, like, the king of england has decided to to take france and he’s got it now and renamed it but is destroying the country. and we’ve had the black plague. so: it’s officially the middle ages.
not content with the world, he must also ruin the alphabet
that asshole co-opting the letter X sucks, b/c until now i had a really positive identification with it - it’s the gender marker on my non-binary driver’s license - but now…i just want to avoid it like the plague
As for Kahlo, she said, “You deserve a lover who listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn’t afraid to fall. You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry.”

Let it all out
These are the skeets I can do without
Come on
I'm skeeting some words
Come on
i’m sorry you felt hurt. but, like, think about it from outside of yourself for a moment. can you see how dramatic you’re being? i went quiet cause you were attacking me. i learned it’s better not to engage when you are in that mood. those are my boundaries.
Seriously, we're not talking shit to be dicks. We like the app. It's a nice app. It's got cool stuff. And cool people. It's all pretty looking and shit. I like it.
But we ALSO like not-racism. This app could be perfect if you could just focus on the not-racism.
That's all we're saying, man. 😭
It would be really nice to have a place to post that wasn't owned by oligarchs or overrun by racists.
yellow stars and text on a light blue background saying fuck the vibes if my black friends can’t vibe too
(looking forward to continuing but waking up to news here of a posting strike re: racial slurs in usernames and not sure if it’s off yet so going to wait a moment)
why was i born to be the sort of person who would totally enjoy this joke?
wow….basically a blatant admission of guilt 🤯
in case you don’t know what the last repost was about
AMPTP: A lot of great stuff in this new draft! Our main note is that we’re concerned audiences won’t root for your protagonists, a cabal of sadistic billionaires threatening to make the people who are the backbone of their business homeless. Happy to hop on a call to discuss!
beautiful and i am now fantasizing about involving you in a project 😇
