Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 17hIt drives me crazy. They do the same thing with this and the ozone layer. Act like it was nothing because it was mitigated through action. With COVID too. It was awful, and in many ways was addressed poorly, but the safeguarding that did happen dramatically saved lives. They call it overreach. 051
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I kept getting one over and over again about a story that was: -Work for hire -Written to be audio only -one of several in an anthology -IP -Something I definitively do not own I don’t know what they expected me to do with it if I agreed to let them “optimize it on Amazon” or whatever. 050
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yeah, same. I didn’t actually buy from them before that either cause they’re kind of expensive for what they are. I do highly recommend TomboyX’s gender affirming tucking bottoms though for any non/pre-op transfems. 110

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Just like Unique Vintage, it needs to be stated that MeUndies absolutely knows the issues with HP, has collaborated with them before, and has apologized before due to backlash. They know and they’re doing this again anyway. 03713

And in fact, many models *have* been created this way, and decades of prior machine learning systems *were* created this way, consensually. These things are choices! People are STILL working this way! It’s not just that a better world is possible — it already EXISTS. We can nurture it. 171750473

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And i think about that woman a lot, i don’t know her name and never saw her again but I wonder how that same night feels to her looking back or if she even remembers it. And I hope that guy isn’t in her life anymore and that his pillow is always hot and his beers are flat. 1170
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It’s also one of the more gender affirming memories I recall having in the era between me coming out and when I started hormones 5 years later. Because it was so clear to me that the way I felt about the experience was completely different than how most cis men who I’d talk to did. 1150
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026This was around the time when I started hearing the term “rape culture” a lot more and if I didn’t fully understand what it meant, I definitely did after that experience and the way other men behaved about it during and after. 180
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026But I’ve never forgotten that thing her so-called friend said. How someone came to him concerned for her safety and his response was that I should just fuck her anyway so I wouldn’t cockblock him. 180
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026And it felt like it made other women in the audience uncomfortable. I viewed as an “After Hours” or odyssey type story but I think since I still appeared male it came across more as virtue signaling maybe. Anyway it felt gross to keep telling it and it was a long story so I stopped. 170
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Long story, and I used to tell it onstage but I stopped because literally every time I did, dudes in the audience would call me a f** for not sleeping with her. Guys I knew in comedy called me crazy for spending that much time with her and not fucking her. 180
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I also couldn’t take her home because her keys were apparently at the shitty friend from earlier’s place. So I had to help her find a friend’s place she could crash at all while she started saying some pretty vile things to me. Eventually I got her somewhere safe and I never saw her again. 160
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I remember going into a CVS with her to get candy and Gatorade, and she started pointing at men’s fitness magazines and going “huh?” which I think was her trying to say I was gay (which I was but not that way). But I knew I couldn’t just leave her alone on some random street in her state. 150
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The bar cut her off and I was going to try to get her home but had to walk her to my car. Which mostly meant me babysitting a very drunk woman across Westwood for a few hours. She, by the way, was also getting surly and mad at me when she realized I wasn’t going to sleep with her. 150
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I still remember the look on his face, as he turned to me while he was trying to get with another girl, and said “oh, I thought you two were, you know, hanging out?” That line has stuck in my brain for almost 15 years and it still pisses me off. So I took it upon myself to take care of her. 180
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It was clear she wanted me to go home with her. But it also became very clear that she was already drunk and getting more drunk. So I found one of the guys she’d come to the show with and I said “hey I think you should take your girl here home, she’s had too much to drink.” 160
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026When I was still presenting as male (mostly), I was doing a standup show near the UCLA campus. A woman in the audience one night was flirting with me when I was onstage and afterwards we went downstairs to talk and have another drink. 1110
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I can understand that. But I also don’t think it’s worth the mental energy to be pre-mad at a season of TV that hasn’t aired yet. 110
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Since initially season 4 was going to be the end and they got the 5th season knowing it was the end, I’m hopeful that they are consciously going into it as a landing the plane/setting up TOS season. 110
Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I know I’m like the millionth person to talk about this. But casting Daisy Ridley’s actual husband in the Love Hypothesis movie is such a brilliant meta joke. 170

Riley Silverman @rileysilverman.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think this season of Ted Lasso is the best since the first. It has definitely won me back after being skeptical about if a 4th season was a good idea or necesssary. It’s had a lot of good jokes and some heartbreaking moments, and I just am really loving it. 361
