There are people in the world who say that there are only two genders: male and female. But the heart and soul have much more personality. It's very sad that people who can't accept this sometimes utter very harsh words. You were born to live freely. Chiitan is an ally of transgender people🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Starting to think that ludicrously rich guys have moved on from paying stupid amounts of money to hunt a lion and have instead made a status symbol out of buying and murdering prestigious brands (i.e. HBO, Twitter).

I keep coming back to this

Twitter post that reads:

1940s: the detonation of nuclear bombs contaminates nearly all steel on Earth, resulting in the need to scavenge low-radiation pre-war steel from sunken shipwrecks

2020s: ChatGPT contaminates content with synthetic text, resulting in the need to segregate pre-LLM sources

A screenshot of the Wikipedia article for “low background steel” is below

It's funny that if Bluesky ever does take off, Jack Dorsey will go down as the undisputed king of microblogging platforms and he will have absolutely no idea what makes any of this good or why anyone uses this. It'd be like if the inventor of the dishwasher was a dalmatian.

My parents recently moved to NC and they call every kind of lizard a “skank.” (I think they are mostly anoles, not skinks, which they probably mean to say).

I visited the Gay Dolphin Gift Cove in Myrtle Beach and something changed within me. The floor plan is labyrinthine. Here, a maelstrom of chaotic kitsch manifested from a strange convergence of beach vacation nostalgia, Americana, and capitalism. It consumes itself endlessly, like an ouroboros.

A statue of Bigfoot in a ripped t-shirt. A relic from an old mini golf course?

Various kitsch cobbled together from taxidermied blowfish and alligators.

“Trans people exist. We don’t need to be allegories or symbols, we can just be... people. At such a precarious time for our rights, it's more important than ever to see ourselves in all our flawed complexity, rather than just catching glimpses through a veil of symbolism.” - @charliejane.bsky.social

new genders just dropped, it's soupative and oosative time everybody link.springer.com/article/10.3758/s…

native English speakers were taught “Gumbuzi,” an artificial language with two artificial grammatical “gender” groups, labeled “soupative” and “oosative” (Phillips & Boroditsky, 2003). Participants were taught ten items in each group, six of which were inanimate objects, and the remaining four were humans who were either all female or all male. After learning which items were assigned to which category, participants rated the similarity of human–object pairs both within and across the two groups.

The old rule used to be "if you're not paying, you're the product" but I think at this point we should all just assume that we're always the product no matter what, and paying just demonstrates that we're products that will pay for things.

Calling art “content” is like calling your pets “meat.” It’s technically correct, I guess, but it’s real reductive and kinda gross.
