Everyone you know will disappoint you in brutal ways but you until society collapses you can always rely on a library to be doing its level best and punching above its weight
Can I be honest and say that if they found a way to make it like, even more encrypted and locked away on a self destructing drive that requires two turns of a key to activate every few days, Microsoft’s Windows Recall thing sound awesome and cool and I want to be able to do that sorry sorry sorry don’t report me to The Verge police
@c8cc6c28 By why give her and her ideas that time and space in your mind? Why not use that time and space to fill with the work of better sources? I promise it will bring you more and feed you better!
They’re children. And their government is keeping them from doctors who practice a type of medicine that cures suicidal ideation at near miracle rates. If those kids do find relief, it'll be via their parents paying exorbitant out of pocket costs or by covertly ordering those drugs online with cryptocurrencies from sketchy overseas labs.
Please don't play the Harry Potter video games and it defend it by saying they brought *you* childhood joy.

There's a not insignificant portion of the male population that finds themselves attracted to women with tentacles before they find themselves attracted to women with external genitalia. Seems like normal things happening there
We should all get a push notification about what happened to Kate Middleton so we know when to stop making jokes that will inevitably be in poor taste whenever it’s revealed which horrifying fate befell her
Personally I think she’s away on a mission to protect her home planet from the evil overlord Galactar the Interspace Conquerer. On the taxpayer’s dime!
Every time I express fear about the future for queer people someone who isn’t queer says to me “at least you live in New York” as if that is comforting and not the most bone chilling thing you could possibly say.
Don’t say stuff like that. You actually don’t have to say anything! Just listen. (Then, maybe, I don’t know, do something?)
I don’t plug or endorse a lot of stuff but my friend wrote the score of Dicks: The Musical and I have never been this proud of anything anyone I’ve ever known has ever made. You absolutely *need* to see it immediately. I wish Judy Garland and Stephen Sondheim and Aleister Crowley could have seen it.
The candles said they had scents – and if you smelled them there was a hint of lemon or berry but – upon actual contact with fire, alas, they were unscented.
One year for our Christmas bonus, Bustle gave us gift cards for telehealth therapy. Which was still better than the year they acquired us and we made record profits and they gave us an unscented candle.

I’m 34 and still working on my life and everyone keeps telling me over and over not to worry that I’m too old to make it happen. But I wasn’t? I’m not old? Do you guys think you’re “old” at 34? What the fuck???
Omfg don’t say that to anyone who tells you they are any age, you absolute loons.
“Okay but you’re not in your 20s anymore…” Okay? And?? What now??? What does that mean???? What is functionally different????? Go enjoy your life, I am begging you. 🙏 I am fine 🙏
I always think I’m going to want to take guacamole out of a tub in my fridge, but I don’t. I want it brought to me with ceremony or I find I don’t want it.
One day this will read as extreme luxury and decadence to all of your starving great grandchildren – but luckily they won’t have the electricity necessary to judge me. 😌
Remember when Boomers accused us of being spoiled monsters for wanting baby food and chips??? Hahahahahaha. My husband and I will never know retirement.
I was just thinking “that joke won’t land because there’s no way British people like Suits” and then I remembered that British people *really* don’t like Suits 🫢
Earnest posting on main but I really do appreciate this tiny safe haven. I do believe things like the Fediverse will save us. One day far away and very soon.
I’m going to be honest with you, I’ve lived through a lot of shit in 34 years. I came out at 12 years old in 2002. I have seen terrorism, economic collapse, pandemics, fires, hurricanes, I’ve been exploited and assaulted and hate crimed. I’ve had near death experiences and horrible accidents.
I have never been so scared in my life as I am at the next five years, let alone after that. I finally have something to say and a way to say it and people who want to hear it and it’s never been harder. 😩

I think a lot of people believe they project strength or intelligence or professionalism or maturity when they adopt a condescending tone but it’s just the opposite.
I love being condescending, don’t get me wrong, but never when I’m trying to be any of those things.
People who don’t know what kerning is will tell you they don’t need a graphic designer to make an ad that says “Get more clicks!” – and honestly, darling, knock yourself out.
There is something about the way her 90s frosted makeup and tanned skin shows up on whatever film stock they shot the show on. It’s unreal and should never be recreated for health reasons.
If strangers at a party are talking about football and I go up to them and, before I join the conversation, they say “we’re talking about last night’s game,” I do not into a speech about CTE and the NFL and corporate media and how they should be spending their time.
I, as someone who hates football with every speck of my stardust, go to the other side of the room and start my own conversation about that or *anything I decide to talk about.*
As proof of the platform’s vibrance, here is a TikTok that encapsulates this whole phenomena way better than my rambling, frustrated thread https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8MWGdhk/
