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.

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

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 tweet that says: Right-wingers literally straight-up admitting "it's harder to discredit the left because the left is almost always telling the truth"

It's quote-tweeting someone that says: The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality rightwing content.

That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well.

In essence people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side.

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.
