Refugee from the ex-bird site. Mostly here to lurk and grumble about the absolute state of it all. Might cross-post the occasional robot pic from Instagram (same handle). He/him.

Now taking bets on Trump throwing a tantrum, making up his own peace prize, and awarding it to himself.

When anti-terror laws were introduced, opponents said they'd abused. Making Palestine Action a terrorist organisation akin to ISIS is deranged behaviour. History will damn how opponents of genocide were branded terrorists, while war criminals were armed and feted.

It turns out that when the Labour leadership demonstrated their hatred of democracy by smothering all internal dissent in the Labour party, it was a clue to what they might be like in government. Who knew!?

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

I'm guessing you were meant to be going on somewhere afterwards, but the fact that they weren't being upfront with you about this is defintely a concern.

Venetrix2 @venetrix2.bsky.social · 05/06/2025
No, that's fucking insane, not to mention seriously concerning that they couldn't hold off for one evening, not to mention they couldn't be upfront with you about it. Major red flags here, and you're totally justified in being extremely upset by this.

I think at some point there needs to be a conversation about exclusivity and what each person is willing (or able) to commit to. And honestly I'd just be interested in what any potential partner did for a living. But I also know there needs to be a level of trust there to have that conversation.

My point is it read a lot like Trump's tweets. The rambling, the use of caps lock for emphasis, the paranoia. I dismissed it as the ramblings of a lunatic and carried on with my day, but it is kinda terrifying that this guy's president now.

So, when I was a student working a summer job, I got an extremely strange mass email from some nutjob, that opened with "BRITNEY IS MINE!" and only got weirder from there. The author was clearly quite ill, and a cursory Google showed he'd crossposted his rant to several online message boards....

Imagine trusting a party with your human rights that when last in power passed anti strike laws designed to rob millions of workers of their democratic right to strike, locked millions of people out of the electoral process & stripped back our right to protest & limited our rights to judicial review

I mean, if you're going to do this, at least do it to two people at once. When they both get stood up, ask if they'd like to share a table. Double the food sold and you might actually have happy customers at the end of it.
