“coke is better!” “pepsi is better!” wrong. squirt supremacy.

“if you’re sensitive to sounds when sleeping, just use earplugs!” i cannot stress enough that the sensory feeling of having my ears fully blocked AND now being able to hear my own heartbeat and breathing and every other sound that’s happening inside my own body is a million times worse than whatever ambient noise may be keeping me awake

🤗 i dont like this emoji. this is not a hug to me. this is someone doing condescending jazz hands in my general direction when i am in need of affection. not comforting.

🫂 i love this emoji. this is a hug. we are hugging and its nice. and as a special bonus they appear to be my old friends from the msn messenger logo? very comforting.

do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”

If you want an explanation of why the US has fallen so quickly to the right-wing on trans issues, look at how the New York Times - seen socially as a generally liberal outlet - coverage of trans issues has changed.

Here's NYT coverage of trans issues in the mid-1990's:

And here's NYT coverage in the mid-2020's:

30 years and we've moved this far backwards because of a conscious effort by media outlets on the center and center-left to elevate anti-trans bigotry as legitimate concerns.

Public opinion is not static, and what we learned in the fight for LGBTQ rights is that public opinion is greatly affected by how the media portrays a group or issue. We saw a huge swing in the approval of marriage equality and gay and lesbian relationships in large part because of positive media portayals of LGBTQ people.

The problem is, conservatives have also figured this out. They have had outlets like Fox and WSJ for decades, but they couldn't reach into the other side because of the toxic reputation of their outlets with anyone outside their 35% bubble. It wasn't until conservative billionaires (disguising themselves as centrists) started buying out liberals outlets and installing conservative editors in the past decade or so that this really changed. The ramp up in the past 3-4 years feels less stark because many liberals have been frog boiled into accepting conservative propaganda laundered through a "liberal" outlet.
