If you ever think I'm too mean to transphobes online please know I'm much meaner in person

Gee I wonder why I didn't get put on blast... I wonder why I just got blocked Could it be that as a white cis woman I might gain too much sympathy for you to effectively utilize public violence to bully me???? Hmmmm... Guess we'll never know

Screen shot of block by tressie mcmillan cottom

Question: What is the purpose of putting a small trans account on blast like this? Answer: punishment Many people still believe that respect is treating them as the authority and when they aren't treated as the authority they stop treating others like a person @tressiemcphd.bsky.social

User tressie mcmillan cotton: I do not have one of those so no.

Quote post from user space captain lispegistus: your problem is that you are a transphobic asshole and you like bullying people weaker than you. Does your dick get hard by going after smaller accounts with bad faith? Turn on your replies you dumb cunt. I fucking hate bullies and you are one. Go eat shit

I think it's really important to remember that theorizing that evil doers are secretly gay/trans Isn't just homophobia and transphobia Its also how oppression protects the oppressors classes By affirming that evil doers have a secret justification and aren't really part of the oppressor classes

I dunno y'all but maybe telling people for years now that the correct course of action is to just brush off getting threats of violence as a normal consequence of being in public spaces online has had some repercussions irl

Honestly the way some Leftists/progressives are leaning into fatalism and doomerism right now really feels like the secular version of the death cult that conservatives peddle Just a reminder oppressive systems adapt and you are not immune to propaganda

IDK y'all, kinda think that as the world descends further and further into authoritarianism, it... might actually be important to signal what your virtues and values are? Like it might be more important than ever to stand by your beliefs and express them?

Ok BUT HEAR ME OUT... With three starting places there should have been romance options for all in each of the categories of Street Kids, Nomads, and Corpos (+Phantom Liberty) And canonically in the universe of Cyberpunk MOST of the romance options should be bi!! In this essay I will...

"OMG Did you see the New York Times list!" No bc I stopped looking at any of their content years ago Y'all look ridiculous getting excited about whether the editors at the NYT think your favorite is cool enough to be on a list

If you want to make a better world, a more equitable world, it starts with YOUR behavior Methods matter Too many leftists have not deconstructed their desire to punish Which means when an acceptable target* is presented Leftists jump head first into bashing without regard for who they're harming

Look at how easy it was, to get most of the left to spend two days bashing maskers over a false story that had so many red flags for being false it was practically a Valentine’s Day parade.

Oh hey look, exactly on schedule. Anybody feel like apologizing for adding to the pile on of a marginalized person because of an *obviously* bad faith article, as confirmed by the bar, and using it to smear a couple of marginalized groups as a bonus?

It is fundamentally a mistake to assume that the problem is that leadership doesn't understand the issues. They do. They understand the seriousness. They just don't care and know they can buy their way out of immediate personal consequences. Republicans fully understand climate change.

"If only we could help them understand" They've understood perfectly since the mid-70s when oil companies figured the patterns out and buried them. Stop assuming positive intent when dealing with monsters.

Also just an fyi But expecting other people to not meet their needs bc it MIGHT negatively affect someone... Is entitled behavior You are responsible for communicating your needs Expecting the world to serve you is weird If they're mean about you communicating your needs that's a separate issue

Introducing a new thought exercise for people writing takes about how to deal with nazi death cultists: What Would Kira Nerys Do? (And you fuckin know what she'd do.)

Major Kira Nerys adjusts her negotiation tactics (which is what she's named her phaser)

PLEASE get braver A lot of people complain online about people being annoying and it's like... Tell them Someone playing a video loud in public? Ask them to silence it Someone eating on camera in a way that is grossing you out? Ask them privately to go off camera Have the courage to be direct

I truly hate Inspiration Porn of animals in distress getting a "second chance" "She was trapped, neglected, covered in fleas... But now!" We are too infatuated by stories of trauma being solved with individual acts of charity We are too comfortable consuming real trauma as entertainment

Nothing brings conservatives and leftists together like harassing people for taking covid precautions

I'm so glad fall is here So glad! I am also just a lil tiny bit sad that playing sweaty sunscreen sidewalk chicken with the suits is over I'm on the correct side with plenty of space You thought I would move Or you could push past You thought wrong Enjoy wearing the proof of your foolishness 😉

A personal policy of mine is I will unfollow anyone who posts about how much they hate their body Not bc they are a bad person for having insecurities But bc I understand how unhealthy it is to absorb that rhetoric passively It can shape how you see yourself Even if you think it wont

Wilde Butch @wildebutch.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

A lot of white people are going to cower behind the idea that this is just a mistake or incompetence... "They didn't know!" Do you know how you get companies to care about being careful to not make mistakes like this EVER again? You make them scared Also this wasn't a mistake This is racism

The real tragedy with me being a person who genuinely tries to be kind even when others aren't is... I'm very funny when I'm being mean

User wren debney reed says You're really inconsistent. Veganism isn't a religion so you're not making sense

Rocket Money is a great case for being very careful about reading the fine print Bc when they are lowering your costs they sometimes can represent themselves as you in negotiations with other companies and lower costs by cutting services and entering into contracts on your behalf Which is bad

Hey you... If being harsh and mean to yourself was going to work... it would have already You cannot hate yourself into a version you love Part of breaking generational trauma is deconstructing the idea that punishment is an effective learning strategy Especially for ourselves

Forever reminder that posting memes that make fun of Trump's body or put Trump in a dress and makeup for a joke Makes me think less of YOU Misogyny and fatphobia used against evil eilte people doesn't hurt them It does contribute to a culture that views women and fat people as a punchline

Deeply unsurprised that one of the guys who wrote Comfortably Numb would once again stand against apathy #FreePalestine

A friend's kid (older teen) recently came out as Ace and so I've been reflecting on youth exploring their identities especially asexuality (Tbc being ace is lovely and wonderful) And it's interesting and kinda charming how often it is a step in younger queer folks journeys

So fun story Mackelmore and I went to the same undergrad and overlapped for a few years (we didn't meet) Attending the same college just a few years before either of us was Rachel Corrie who was murdered by Israel with a bulldozer while she was trying to protect Palestinians Free Palestine

I didn't want to deal with my ridiculously thick hair for a while so I shaved my undercut without a guard but an unfortunate side effect is now I have Velcro head and my wife's very long and very curly hair keeps getting caught in my undercut I basically just brushed my wife's hair with my head! 💀

Your strengths are almost always also the source of your weaknesses And conversely your weaknesses are often the unfortunate side of your strengths And it's important to recognize this when you're reflecting on self improvement bc when we don't we tend to unintentionally self sabotage
