the most intelligent people i know will instantly and often gleefully admit they don’t know something (maybe if you push they’ll give a hypothesis loaded with caveats)

in stark contrast we have “artificial intelligence”

drag performances can be appropriative and offensive

personally, drag shows always put me on edge. because cis folks, including queers, do not know the difference. nor are they particularly good at checking in with minorities about what they’re up to

but beyond that, even shows done with consideration have a negative impact on a marginalized community

of course that’s not fair but my good bitch step into my office and let me explain a little bit about being a trans woman (I charge $200/hour)

someone weird was complaining at me about her friend group chat being too noisy, but she ignored my clarifying question (how much of it's meowing?)

if you’re curious what a movie night is like with me:

we are cuddled up together on my ugly blue couch, under a weighted lap pad and a fuzzy blanket big enough for the both of us

you ask me to pass the candy bowl, but don’t see anything you like so i lovingly hand you the candy cube (wider selection)

i lean over to grab my monster energy paradise punch and realize our faces are so close we’re almost kissing

i slowly move my head to the right and whisper into your ear

“if donnie darko was paying $200 an hour for therapy in 1988, that’s, like, over $500 after inflation. that seems expensive”

you’re flustered and unsure how to respond, i can tell. I stand up, grab your hand, and i teach you the proper way to make popcorn

gonna make my own damn search engine and if your website plays a fucking video in the lower right corner you can’t be in it

assaulting transphobic parents as a service

testosterone was useful in repressing both my gender identity and my demisexuality

“if you’re mad at everyone, eat”

I DON’T SEE HOW THAT WILL FIX A BROKEN WORLD

but i’ll make some fish and maybe eat a potato ig :neko_fish:

protonmail has put an advertisement in their fucking email client

why does everyone need a fierce kick in the dick lately

I talk to like one cis dude and even he wears skirts

gonna insert ads into conversations I have with customer support

then at some point I'll stop talking mid-sentence and request they take a survey rating their experience on a Likert scale

....idk, something about cookie preferences too?

is it irony that my "transgender week of visibility" post gets hidden by big social media sites

angry people hate having their feelings called interesting and never engage with my follow-up questions

what’s up with that?

what some bitches don’t realize is,, telling me my feelings are wrong and don’t matter just gives me wild gender euphoria

i am a real girl!

explaining updog to a kid who's never heard of it before is fucking glorious

I will smite all your territory with frogs
the frogs will be all over you and your servants

:blobfrog: :frog_blush: :frog_cozy: :frog_gay: :frog_love: :frog_think:

the worst - nay, the shittiest - part of enshittification is it doesn’t matter if it works. there is no negative cost to making a product worse in an attempt to make more money, and “opportunity cost” to spend time on re-unshittification will keep things shitty even when it doesn’t drive XX% YoY growth

companies also don’t want to let customers “win” in pushing back against shitification, because that could make us think our opinion matter

pirate everything
become unshittable

youtube video: have you ever wondered what it is ilke to be a chair?
