A pattern here is anti trans changes made under a labour government are assumed to be "reasonable and moderate" by people who would oppose them if a right wing government was doing them. This is worse for trans people because cis people just don't believe us when we talk about what is happening.

Having social media access made growing up gay 1 million times easier (I don’t think I would even know I was gay as a teen if it weren’t for social media), but it also made growing up progressive and informed possible. Social media was where I learned about abortion rights, for starters

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

12 years of watching Groundhog Day on Groundhog Day

A photo of the movie Groundhog Day on a computer screen in a dark room. The screen is showing Phil’s inspiring Groundhog report from near the end of the film.

Found a guy who earnestly wants to restore the Qing.

A screenshot of a Wikipedia user's user page.
"My work on Wikipedia is currently focused on reverting vandalism, fixing up articles created by new users, adding hyperlinks, and fixing typos. "

Their About Me section states that they have experience in web development and photography, and are strongly pro-copyright.

In their info box on the right, they say that they are from Canada, in the Pacific time zone, and that their IQ is "Mensa-eligible".

They have a list of userboxes below their About Me:
"Beware! This user is a known talk page stalker."
"This user supports the Canadian Crown."
"This user supports the Conservative Party of Canada."
"This user supports the British Columbia Liberal Party."
"This user believes that evolution doesn't have to conflict with Christianity."
"This user believes in restoring the monarchy of China."
And a couple more boxes that are not interesting.

What the fuck is up with meme pages? Despite having "Reject Apartheid" in their description, like half of their posts are pro-Rhodesia. I'd be offended that this had been suggested if like half of Facebook's suggestions weren't already random boomer and/or bigoted shit.

"Your voice is represented in government by your MP!" Is it? 65% of the riding voted for him. My disagreements (eg: whether I should be sent to a concentration camp to make me cis) have no weight. Every time I have spoken with an MP or MPP, they have brushed me off *because they don't need me*.

History repeats itself. I just saw someone who was *two* when this happened suggest people do this sort of thing ("make up our own sayings among the community") for chess.

A screenshot of a Reddit post from January 4th, 2013. It is heavily downvoted.
Title: "I came up with this quote just a few minutes ago. I thought /r/atheism would appreciate"
"Just to be clear, I'm not a professional 'quote maker'. I'm just an atheist teenager who greatly values his intelligence and scientific fact over any silly fiction book written 3,500 years ago. This being said, I am open to any and all criticism.

Got a new passport photo taken. They wrote some info on the envelope to identify it. It’s a CANadian PASSport, so they wrote an affirming message:

Odd interaction on the other site. Someone opposed nuclear power on the grounds that it requires mining. I pointed out that most renewable energy requires mining. I am apparently a mining shill because of this, and they blocked me when I asked how they intend to transition from fossil fuels.

A quote tweet of a reply, as well as a reply to the quote tweet.
I initially said: "What energy source with no mining required do you propose? Per unit of energy, nuclear power actually requires less mined material than wind or solar. This can be lowered even further by reusing spent fuel."

YQR Action! quote-tweeted: "Uh oh we've kicked the mining lobbyist hornets nest"

I replied: "Should we just keep on using fossil fuels, then? 80% of Saskatchewan's energy comes from that. 90% of Alberta's. I think that's bad. Because of the metals required, alternative energy sources necessitate mining. How do you propose we transition from fossil fuels without mining?

Turns out it won't do that. Unless someone makes a feed specifically for a language, or perhaps, cleverly, makes one that shows you posts from all your selected languages equally, there's basically no chance of that happening unless someone else "in my network" interacts with it.

If this site wants to algorithmically show me some post-1500 Occitan-language posts, I wholeheartedly welcome it

A screenshot of the Content Languages selection screen.
"Which languages would you like to see in your algorithmic feeds?"
I have checked Afrikaans, Dutch/Flemish, English, French, German, Interlingua, Interlingue Occidental, Luxembourgish, Occitan (post 1500) and Western Frisian.
