Stick with me and I'll have you in a gown so big Megan and Rachel could hide underneath, and no one would know...

now if it was me... what I'm picturing is large, black gown skirt, with departmental ribbon bunting about knee height held on by crystal deltas, and maybe a departmental stripe around the hem.

Now what we need is to make that dress uniform an actual dress.

I kept getting those for my “Agents of Shield” fan novel, people supposedly wanting to turn it into a comic. At this point I have half a mind to tell them “sure…” and watch Marvel sue them clear to kingdom come…

#OtD 14 Oct 1977 anti-gay crusader Anita Bryant was "pied" by Thom Higgins, a gay rights activist. She then began praying and burst into tears. Following a boycott, she lost her job as brand ambassador for Florida orange juice. More LGBT+ history here: workingclasshistory.com/tag/lgbtq/

Like, they will call you a transphobe if you point out I made a misspelling… And in the same breath chew me out for not being a super ultra leftist….

It feels like often times the problem is people hate those who have what they don’t… even if they don’t actually want it. You have a platform. You have a following. They don’t, so they view you as the enemy because of simply that. It doesn’t matter what you’ve done.

I’m not as big or popular as Ant, but I do have a stalker who spreads lies, uses alts, posts doctored screenshots, and attempts to frame me as a genocide supporting sexual harasser. He’s blocked and it’s clearly all fake, but imagine over SIX YEARS of dangerous slander. @/danster20 is his username.

No one said thanks. No one said “we should have listened to you”. No one apologized for telling me to shut up. I spent all my childhood with them telling me how smart I am… then when my built in GPS says “hey something is wrong”, I get told off for it…

The bus ends up taking a wrong turn. I point this out. I get repeatedly told to be quiet… then told to shut up. When the bus got to downtown Washington, everyone is lost and confused save for me. I tell the driver what to do and get everyone back on track.

In DC is a large Catholic basilica church. When it was built, my great grandparents donated money so their name is on the wall. My grandparents wanted me to come to take my picture next to the name. I said “fine, I’ll come, but I get to go ride the DC Metro while you do your church things…”

My grandparents never, EVER, took me serious as an adult. They still saw that little tike sitting on the carpet playing with my diecast Thomas the Tank Engine collection. One time, after I’d reached adulthood, I got roped in to a bus trip to Washington DC with their parish church.

He keeps reposting screenshots of his supposed “victories”, yet they never get any attention… It’s almost as if he’s screaming into the ether for attention and not getting it because being a genocide apologist is a one way ticket pariahville…

the “apology” was empty platitudes. She was in international waters at the time, and obviously not an Arab military ship. All they needed to do was come up close and see everyone on the deck was white…

During the Six Day War, a US Navy SIGINT ship, USS Liberty, was attacked by the Israeli military twice, once by fighter jets, and once by torpedo boats. 34 crew members were killed, 171 were wounded, and the ship was a write off as uneconomical to repair, sold for scrap six years later
USS Liberty, former WWII “Victory Ship” SS Simmons Victory, converted by the navy into a Signals Intelligence spy ship.USS Liberty damaged by the attack from Israel.

You have let the loud voices of a few in a group cloud your judgement of all the others. Leading you to assign the blame for the actions of some to be actions of all. I mean… by your own logic, the US should have given Israel a big old slap after it murdered 34 Americans in cold blood in 1967.

But they do not represent everyone. The people… the average person… is good. Is kind. Just wants to live their life in peace. They want to be treated the same as everyone else… That is the most basic way to prevent violence “we are different, and that is good. You’re good. I’m good. We are good”

Dude… my own government wants me dead, I really don’t care what other people think of me. That being said… I am able to see the difference between a government and a people. Hamas is evil… so is Bibi. So is Trump for that matter…

They view Israel as an invader because day to day, it shows them no respect and takes from them without a thought. You want stuff like October 7th to never happen again? Stop treating them as pests and start treating them as human beings.

How would you feel if a bunch of guys with guns showed up at your doorstep and dragged you family out into the street, knocked down you home, and started building a new house for someone else to buy, while you’re now homeless… That’s what happens to Palestinian families all the time.

Would you turn a blind eye if someone leveled a Jewish cemetery to build “Praiseland” or something…? That is only one thing in a laundry list of actions Israel has taken that has pushed its neighbors buttons to the point of lashing out.

You want suggestions… don’t give them political ammunition that makes them feel justified. Let’s start with “How about not demolishing a Muslim cemetery to build a theme park.” www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-...

No, it isn’t. We don’t do dog whistles in this neck of the woods. If she says something like that, she means it literally. “End genocide” = “end genocide”. End them all. Stop them from ever happening again.

My point is you are tying the idea of “having a national identity” with “being a country”, when the two are not actually one and the same. Just because they don’t have their own seat over at 42nd street and 1st Avenue, does not mean any of them do not have an identity.

Ashley Hynes @ashleyhynes.bsky.social · 13/10/2026
They would disagree they’re welsh or Scottish because they’re not independent countries? How about the Catalonians… the Romani… the Irish pre-1922… Lots of national identities exist within non-independent communities.

One does not need to be an independent, sovereign state to have a “national identy”… Just ask the Welsh and Scottish.

That’s how you climb the maga ladder, break commandments you try to impose on everyone else. To my knowledge the only one Trump hasn’t broken is “thou shalt not kill”… and only in the sense he’s never taken another life (that we know of) with his own hands.

It wouldn’t even be worth betting on because it is inevitable. That & him ordering the military to watch. You know… In the past, one or more rifles would have a blank, for the sake of the squad members conscience. They wouldn’t know who fired live vs blanks. I feel like they’re all gonna be live…

You know… there was a time when being a pro athlete in the majors was a part time job. You had to have a normal job in the off season to cover the bills. Jackie Robinson sold people TVs. Half the Yankees starting lineup sold suits. And these weren’t endorsements, this was thier legit jobs.

I went to catholic school till I was 18. I had no concept of what being trans even was, but I still had the feelings, the sense something was different about me. If anything my very existence goes to show there is much more to a person than their environment.

Pick just about any episode of “Law & Order: SVU” and you have the defense going “My client has mental health issues that stem from a life of physical and mental trauma…” or something similar. And they think that should excuse punishment…

A large part of society, all too often, have no concept of separating understanding from support. They think the two are interconnected and that to have one, you must have the other. They think that if you know why something was done, you will come to support it. They’re idiots, but they think it.

This is exactly what the right, the actual fascists, want us doing, fighting with each other instead of them. It’s how we fucking got into this mess in the first place. We couldn’t reach a compromise and that orange son of abitch played us like a fiddle.

Why do so many people who try to paint themselves as the good guys immediately launch into defamatory accusations and body shaming… and then accuse those they’re arguing with of being cowards and “not having an argument”… when your entire argument is “you’re fat, bald and stupid”…

In this context, scarcity does not mean hard to get, it means there is a physically limited supply that has to be regulated by some method.

Ashley Hynes @ashleyhynes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Except we didn’t, because there are resources that are “scarce” by definition. For example: Petroleum Habitable living space Precious metals We cannot make more. What we have is all we will ever get, so we have to manage their allocation.

In the USSR, even though they had the ruble, poltical standing, and who you knew and were on good terms with, was the real currency. If you had been a lifelong BFF to Gorbachev, you were always going to get more than some random dope driving a delivery truck.

Ashley Hynes @ashleyhynes.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
The problem with her idealism on the subject is that there must always be a “currency”. We live in a scarcity economy. Something must be used to control the allocation of resources. Even in a moneyless society, so long as scarcity is a thing, we need a “currency”.
