Queer Seattle artist just trying to make it through. Mutual support is the only way. Expect politics, art, and cool bugs/fungi. Not here to debate you.

Kiera is a Stancilite who believes LLMs are basically sentient, uses "hasn't updated his priors" unironically, is pro cops having overtime "in case of emergencies" bc they're "first responders" (lol) and seems to generally live for being the most boringly annoying debate asshat. Not worth engaging.

Whoa, she blocked me for that. Oh well! Other autistics, you don't need to feel bad for missing stuff. People are just weird sometimes, nothing to do with us!

It was unclear for me too ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ comes w/the autism territory, I just miss stuff sometimes. dunno what saying it wasn't unclear accomplishes other than trying to make us feel stupid, we weren't saying it was worded badly, just that it was unclear for us. glad you picked up on it without help tho!

When I was younger I really got into DoA: Xtreme Beach Volleyball* Once I lamented to a partner about how tank tops didn't fit me the way they fit in the game & they said "Yeah, bc those clothes are molded on, they're basically part of their bodies" So now I think of those as flesh-clothes 😂😱

Oh sure, but I've seen several people sharing funny post screenshots with text that shows they also thought it was funny & wanted to share. I don't understand why they wouldn't just reskeet the original.

I'm pretty sure the lack of notifs/engagement on the original funny post is exactly the issue being discussed. The OP is the one who made the joke, why not let them have the engagement from it? It makes sense when you're making fun of a bad post, but not for actually good and funny posts.

This is the second time I've seen someone mention "the algorithm" today. Isn't Bluesky specifically NOT an algorithmic feed? It only shows chronologically for me. Am I missing something?

Hey, just a note about that 'rehabbing abusers requires them to have actual friends who are Good Guys to be supportive but take no shit from them' concept: That happened in my real life, rapist had good guy friends who tried to do exactly this. That allowed him to rape 3 more ppl.

These articles always push sympathy for the white person who is newly regretful after being personally impacted, they never focus on the people who are really victimized all the time. I was just struck by the absolute lack of internal moral standard (esp w/the mom) demonstrated in this one.

Oh, and just in case anyone was actually thinking this was a balanced and fairly reported article: nah, dude has been full right wing for years, the "lifelong Democrat" thing is a lie which can be uncovered in 5 min on Facebook. bsky.app/profile/milo...

Really fucked up how she twists this situation around to be about anti-white racism. That woman's brain has been fully marinated and cooked. Garbage person.
"'I feel guilty," Jack said. 

'I hate to say it, but there's a lot of animosity against, just, white people,' Diana said. 'I'm sorry.'

'That's not our belief, Diana,' Renee said.

petrisaurus.bsky.social @petrisaurus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
"'That's why I think this is a statement--some kind of statement,' Diana continued. 

'It's not a statement,' Renee said. 

'It is. Look how it's blowing out,' Diana said, referring to all the news and the vitriol toward the Trump administration.

'No,' Renee said. 

But Diana, who had spent years working as a nurse in Ohio prisons, continued. She said her experience had taught her to think 'outside the box,' and she offered a theory that none of the investigating authorities had suggested. She believed that what happened could have been more than a suicide, that Pierre could have been 'almost like a suicide bomber,' attempting to send a political message. She said she believed that this could start happening more often. 

'I've seen stuff on the internet too--like, someone said, 'You should be thinking of the truck driver too,' and someone commented, 'Oh, fuck that truck driver,' Diana said."

Note: Pierre spoke English.
"He [Jack, the trucker] reviewed what he knew about the Haitians in Springfield, which had mostly come from his mother, via a friend of hers who lived there, and had little good to say; Jack had seen a video she'd circulated purporting to show Haitians eating cats and dogs. Diana had called her up after everything happened, and her friend had sworn that Pierre had waited on her at Texas Roadhouse the weekend before. The friend said she recognized him from the photos. She told Diana that she and her husband had ordered two salads, and when the waiter she assumed was Pierre brought only one salad, she told him that they'd ordered two; she said that he had smiled and said something in a language she did not understand. Diana still wondered about what he'd said. She told Jack that she was worried about him, that the Haitians in Springfield were angry. That everybody in the country seemed to be angry, including her. 

'My son could have died,' she said now. 'A whole bunch of lives could have been taken. And that's another thing--'

'No,' Renee [Jack's wife] said, attempting to preempt what she knew was coming."

Later:
"I'm not trying to sound mean or anything, but we can't take care of everybody," Diana said.

The trucker's mom is incredibly racist and also just... baffling. I need to remember that a lot of people are going through life with no actual inner beliefs. It's just "things that help my family are good, things that hurt my family are bad" and absolutely zero processing beyond that. More below.
"I wish I would have known him, because I would have taken him in," Diana [the trucker's mom] said at one point. "I got a spare room." (Note: Pierre Damas Bel was not homeless or housing insecure)

When I was about 12 my dad took me to a chiropractor who had posters on his wall about how everybody on the planet needed chiro adjustments because of "the spinal trauma of the birthing process" I asked abt ppl born via C-sections I got a dismissive lecture & later scolded for being rude

Like, if I say "I'm looking for a therapist who does more than CBT" then it should be pretty goddamn clear that I'm not looking for therapy in addition to cock & ball torture, you know? It's funny to joke about shared acronyms sometimes but it's ridic & immature to jump to that in every context!

petrisaurus.bsky.social @petrisaurus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Nahhhhh I mean... delete & reword if you want to, but it was pretty clear! Like what would "fat admirer is banning kissing and plus size content" even fucking mean?? There is no logic!

petrisaurus.bsky.social @petrisaurus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
It was just such a weird thing to focus on too?? Like yeah FA also means "fat admirer" sometimes but that wouldn't have made any sense in the context of what you were talking about. We are all adults, we should be capable of using context clues. Wtf.

petrisaurus.bsky.social @petrisaurus.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
But you also need to remember that rapists and abusers are often VERY GOOD at making themselves seem harmless! You need to not overestimate your own resistance to being deceived. Because otherwise you're going to be fooled and you're going to feel guilty about it for the rest of your life.

There could be ways to improve on what they did - for one thing, they didn't tell everybody who came over about his past. So we all thought he was cool until we found out (some of us in the worst way possible). Disclosure needs to be top priority, not as punishment, but for safety of others.

They were there all the time, literally lived & did all social events together. He still managed to get ppl blackout wasted @ parties & take them to his room. The guys who'd tried to rehab him felt (rightly) TERRIBLE. So if you're gonna try that, you had better be REALLY GODDAMN WATCHFUL.

Why does the One Piece creator keep defending sexual predators? [Popverse Jump]
As much as I admire Eiichiro Oda's work, I cannot understand his unwillingness to condemn the creators of Rurouni Kenshin and Toriko for their actions.

Also: I HAVE felt betrayed by the creators of things I've loved! Transmetropolitan & Sandman were some of my very favorite works in comics! But I still landed very quickly on the side of "well I'm never supporting them ever again".

Like sure I am capable of imagining a world where rapists are completely rehabilitated via Care Bear Stare, but why exactly would that be relevant to the case of an actual rapist in our actual reality?? Weird how all these people only do this theorizing when their fave turns out to be a rapist!

I remember getting in an argument about 20 years ago with a film studies major (straight white dude, ofc) who was adamant that Princess Mononoke was a bad movie because there was no "real villain". Like. My dude. That was the whole entire point and you missed it! You are choosing the wrong major!

Yep. This Geller situation is really feeding my block button. So many ppl leaping to defend a man who admits to sexual assault, & they're using the language of restorative justice to do it. Restorative justice doesn't mean "guy gets 1 semester of suspension & then he's ok to be famous & respected"!

Same! I even tried to leave space for that in my 1st response, because I KNOW that the tism kicks in sometimes & I miss jokes. But she responded like she was being 100% serious, & was genuinely praising the third way writer who prev wrote "abandon the transes" articles but just changed tack. Wild.
