absolutely love that the local ice cream truck is also getting involved with the local ICE protest 💜💜💜 twitter.com/PortlandDSA/st…

Is it just me or is Elon Musk giving off Andrew Ryan vibes

This isn’t the slightly socially awkward, friendly, neighborhood billionaire who wants to change the world that I remember

Or maybe I’m just remembering wrong

I *almost* remembered to run `xcode-select --install` immediately upon seeing some gems fail to update, today

🎉🎉🎉

the WHO has finally updated their ICD to say that being trans is not a mental disorder 🎉🙌

a long overdue change, tbh. being trans is not and never has been a mental illness. twitter.com/ParkerMolloy/s…

adding some "cybernetic implants" onto your characters to make your story cyberpunk is exactly like gluing some gears to a hat to make it steampunk.

Something that’s important to remember is that there are many people who are *thrilled* by what this administration is doing. Not a small number of people, a lot of people. The people in your life may be outraged but there are lots of folks feeling even more excited & emboldened.

Hey idiots. They told you not to call it a cage and now you’re all debating THAT.

STOP TAKING THE FUCKING BAIT.

They do something terrible. Then they say something stupid. And you chase the latter. Every. Fucking. Time.

@ahninjas I actually bet those rules WILL go away. we just need to raise awareness of how much they suck.

@maggiekarp but we don’t need those either? just drop the fluff and get to the point? I might be too east coast.

@ahninjas nah, but you can just drop it entirely- “excuse me” works better than people seem to think when getting attention, and “thank you”, etc when you are already talking to people doesn’t need extra words

biggest change I can think of is to never use “miss”, “ma’am”, “sir”, etc.

I know y’all think it’s polite but your two second “politeness” might make someone feel like garbage for the rest of the day/week twitter.com/mxacdumlao/sta…

If you are a worker building these tools or others at Microsoft, decide now that you will not be complicit. Then, talk to a trusted coworker. Begin building power. If you don't feel like you know how to begin those conversations, our DMs are open. twitter.com/gleemie/status…

@gains_tweets my dad loves suicide squad. dads!

“dress up like a them” DRESS UP LIKE A THEM, HOW DO YOU DRESS UP LIKE A THEM

And you cannot -- I can't believe we are still going over this -- you cannot convert a fascist to a nonfascist by appealing to their empathy.

No atrocity ever was stopped by a victim standing up and saying "please, understand, I'm just a human like you"

@jhelwig cereal, chocolate chips, marshmallows. smores pizza.

the pride parade started five minutes ago and the protesters are already here, with megaphones 🙄

🤢🤮 instagram.com/p/BkIeApQhXyg/…

Bigots with power are counting on you to “not make a scene.” They are counting on us to overly emphasize civility. Because once you approach their willingness to violate the rights of minorities and immigrants as a mere difference of opinion, they know they’ve won.

omg, the episode with the adorable guy who is six weeks post top surgery and SO HAPPY 😍💜😍💜😍

@ahninjas yes! it’s a great movie!

many of these are great movies- I just wish I could trade in the physical copies for some remotely hosted streamable copies, and get rid of all this… stuff

my closet

my outdated media, taking up space

for instance… my fridge.

my hobby:

watching the new queer eye and imagining all the ways the fab five would judge me if they saw the way I live

What a beautiful ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform tablet. I wonder what ageless wisdom it conveys?

@BethSkw @RyanFMandelbaum @JasonWardNY where I grew up those birds only made calls that sounded like car alarms

@jasonhobson 💜

It's hard to spend too much time in suburbia without realizing how many people decide to live there because they are kind of evil.

real talk

@legobutts thaaaannnnkkk yooooouuuuu 💜

I was finally able to bike today for the first time after top surgery! 🎉🎉🎉

despite taking six weeks off, it didn’t feel harder at all? 🤔

FUCK chris hardwick FUCK joss whedon FUCK every guy out there who’s gotten famous for their cheery geek personas while they quietly abuse the women around them

"When asked whether Waluigi was a brother to Wario, Martinet stated that while he did not know, he felt that they were just 'two nice, evil guys who found each other.'" 💖

Portland > police to NE 6th/Ainsworth, report of a male down in the middle of the sidewalk, face in an open container of potato salad.

Tony Hawk's random encounter stories that he shares on Twitter are existential gold

Just found out that the reason WWDC has a Code of Conduct is because someone from Apple read ours, and asked management that they have one too. So that’s cool!

@DrunkenGeeBee the penguin was festive in a timely manner when I drew him X years ago

office whiteboard update instagram.com/p/BkBKxNXhbN5/…

@ghalidrim I 100% thought you did that on purpose 😂

when considering how the agents of fascism should be engaged, try to see them through the eyes of tomorrow looking back at today: as kidnappers and murderers, deserving neither your collaboration nor your respect but rather your active resistance and unbridled contempt

happy pride, everyone:

wario and waluigi canonically lovers: confirmed twitter.com/Papapishu/stat…

Newly “woke” tech people:

Not seeing race is worse than hating because of race. Same goes with gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc.

See our differences and celebrate them!

If that's not one hell of a visualization of the LGBTQ community, IDK what is. twitter.com/ajplus/status/…

they already nerfed snake

smh

Also white queers we're the next line of defense don't get too comfy

Since Proud Boys are planning to violently disrupt pride this weekend, all you cis straight allies who like to dance and get drunk at pride parties are gonna be on the front lines acting as human shields, right?

@Fallout @BethesdaStudios might there be a way for players to choose what sort of strangers they’d like to share a server with?

kind of like how WoW had PvP, PvE, Roleplaying servers

@waxpancake

I know y’all think you’re being inclusive by inviting nonbinary folks to an event “just for women” but you’re really, really not.

A queer podcast should know better. twitter.com/nancypodcast/s…

someone at work typoed “gender non-conforming” as “gender non-forming” and I identify with that so much #agender

@jasonhobson I am absolutely certain that I could not force myself to be into things a kid was into that I wasn’t already into. I accept this about myself. It’s not hurting anything (as long as I never have kids, which I won’t)

honestly I’m this dad

which is one big reason why I’m never having kids! twitter.com/katangus/statu…

It's so still sad to me how Fallout went from black comedy to power fantasy with one transfer of ownership.

on the bright side this might be the only thing that can actually put the anti vaxx movement to an end twitter.com/PappyShannon/s…

Is it naive to hope Cyberpunk 2077 will maintain, and perhaps focus on, its namesake genre’s complex anti-capitalist sentiment, and ruthless judgement of entrepreneurialism / corporate technological utopianism?

It is, isn’t it?

also, I didn’t know this was coming from CD Project Red…

that means that this is the futuristic world Ciri described spending some time in in Witcher 3?

that’s a cool as shit tie in

I’m excite

omg cyberpunk 2077 is looking good

Once again a massive fuck you to everyone who said there was no difference between the candidates twitter.com/lizcgoodwin/st…

@jasonhobson omg, thank you! 💜💜💜

during world war 2, people of japanese descent were forced to stay in internment camps

there is a monument on the west bank of the willamette river in portland, oregon to remind us, so that we never let it happen again

yet, here we are, letting it happen again
