kind of obsessed with 2025 pride merch...I'm calling it cowardcore.

abercrombie and fitch 'pride mid rise jorts' which are literally just jorts with a rainbow tag inside the pant.

abercrombie & fitch 'pride long sleeved striped button up shirt' that is...a green and white striped shirt. hello am I going crazy.

beige terrycloth shorts from target. nothing about them indicates pride except that they are listed as such on the website.

levi's 'pride icon' skirt which is literally just a short dark denim skirt. nothing to indicate 'pride' except that there is one image of a male model wearing it which technically you could do with any item of clothing but go off I guess

The vine says it’s autumn 🍁🍂

A vine whose leaves are wet with rain, and are a range of colours from green, through yellow, into a lovely coral red. You get the sense that they will go redder and more yellow over time.

Vic could steal anyone’s spouse and the only reasonable response would be to accept it and wish them all the best. #dropout

A meme showing Vic Michaelis in screenshots of varying degrees of on-screen intimacy with the spouses of various dropout cast members, and the caption “hands up if Vic has ever stolen your wife”.

Canceling our family’s #duolingo membership. It wasn’t that great a learning experience anyway, and it’s only going to get worse now that it’s going fully #ai . Glad to see we’re joined by our favourite @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social and many others

A comment from Brennan Lee Mulligan (funny human, genius DM, and modern nerd’s breakfast crumpet) on the Duolingo Instagram account that reads: “Hey @duolingo just wanted you to know I threw out a 1200 day streak, unsubscribed to Duolingo plus and deleted the app based on
your CEO's decision to fire your contractors and become an Al first company. Will happily be looking for a "Humans First" replacement.
¿Quizás tu CEO debería reconsiderar su estupida idea?”

Some really solid results for VS in this election, with big swings to us in the lower house seats we ran in, and a more than tripling of our vote in the Senate (on current numbers). And we've got big plans for what comes next. Join VS now and be part of it! (link below)

I do hope my friends in the US are paying attention to the Australian election and the clear message it sends: if you manage to throw off the shackles of Trumpism, you too may be rewarded with the abundance of milquetoast centrism.

Love this. In his “I Agree” installation Dima Yarovinsky-Yahel took the content from terms of service statements for companies like Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Tinder and printed them out on A4 paper with a standard font size for legal contracts to demonstrate the length of these agreements.

Alt-Txt: Two people stand before multi-color strips of paper with text on them that stretch down an entire wall and onto the floor. The title of the installation "I Agree" appear in all caps on the wall, too.

If she were really fighting for women's rights and liberation, she would have a happy, celebratory, liberating cover photo, talking about freedom, etc. Instead she posts this scowling, arrogant gloat. This isn't about lifting women up. It's about beating trans people down.

Autism is on a spectrum. Meaning different folks present different behaviors and needs. It is amazingly unique to each person. This aside so many are literally trying to scare a populace into being okay with doing away with all people with Autism because of many reasons that boil down to eugenics
