day in the life of my twitter drafts

“no crew, no help, just pure hustle” cut to this poor woman bawling her eyes out. what the fuck is wrong with people? why is this being framed as a good or impressive feat? this person makes below poverty wages already. Burger King meanwhile takes in $27 billion in global revenue every single year. everyone involved in making this woman endure this should be tortured and force fed chicken fries until their heart gives out. fuck this country.

i think we should normalize using nonqueer instead of cishet for folks who are, you know, not queer. cause some of us are forgetting that those who are cishet can also have complex relationships with their identity, such as those with xenogenders and microlabels, cistrans folks, intersex folks, those who are aroace-spec, mspec mono, or polyamorous; as well as literally any other identity that is considered queer and non-conforming for any reason. they deserve to be in queer spaces just as much as any of us.

Fun fact: if you determine a research study is "shady" and "unreliable" because it is written with untraditional English grammar or comes from somewhere in Asia, you are actually just racist.

Hi, I want to post my pics

This is the AOH2 TFR mod that I'm editing.

the phrase “gooner behavior” needs to be obliterated from human speech. the fact that so many folks let anti-porn and anti-sex work dipshits get into their ears to the point that choosing simply to publicly exist in proximity of any expression of outward sexuality is treated as toxically immoral behavior is… frankly fucking sad. the people that want a chaste internet don’t have to socially police us anymore because they tricked you into doing it.

It’s true and you should say it.

I am glad that there are queer affirming churches now. It is so good for the Christian queers to have a place to go and worship.

But i wish that people would listen to me when I say that the reason I stopped going to church has nothing to do with my queerness and everything to do with me not being Christian.

"We're very accepting at this church! You're welcome to come to our services at any time!"

Great. I wont go to them because im not monotheistic.

"We're an affirming church! We accept the queer community. We have queer-specific bible studies!"

You are still a Christian church and I am not a Christian, so a queer bible study is useless to me, personally.

"We were at pride this year!"

Great! Thats wonderful news for the queer Christians, which i am not.

"Please give our church a chance!"

Respectfully, no. The reason im not going to your house of worship is i do not worship your deity. If it was a universality unitarian church, maybe- but if my choices are Episcopalian and Methodist its kinda like... why would I go there?

I want to work on something more elaborate but basically what I want to say comes down to this:

Too many people waste their time staying informed about things they'll never change while ignoring the vast amount they could - and that is only to the benefit of everyone they profess to be against.

My recommendations:

Block ads - they track and sell your data on and offline; they're whole goal is to further capitalism/consumerism

Get off of social media entirely (especially Meta platforms) or move to decentralized platforms; decentralized ones at least aren't optimized to keep you on them

Leave streaming platforms (Netflix, Spotify) limit or avoid endless content platforms (YouTube). They have a vested interest in you not feeling satisfied, tiring you out so all you can do is consume them.

When you do consume, switch to more free/low cost media from collective sources like libraries (books, DVDs, music, Kanopy or Hoopla) and direct from creators (indie books, zines, games, etc). This supports your community and cultivates valuing exchanges outside of commercial factors.

Learn about security and privacy issues - consider degoogling, switching to Linux, using a safer phone OS or downgrading your phone, infosec online, etc.

Mask as often as possible with the best quality mask you can afford. This is not as effective at blocking facial recognition as has been reported but it does limit spread of many deadly viruses and saves lives.

Create an archive and back it up of work you enjoy or find useful. Have ways to access it completely offline. Prepare for an internet that is controlled by autocrats or cut off entirely. Make it so you can share it with friends and family if need be.

When you're less influenced by tech and business oligarchies, you're better able to think critically for your own and other's benefits. When you value spending time and consuming outside of their reach, you aren't a cog in their machinery - spending that time feeding them content they can train AIs on and spy on you to sell you to others. When you care about privacy and security and take measures to protect yourself, you help others who have to take those measure to protect themselves because they're targeted - activists, marginalized groups etc - by making it less easy to flag those people. When you mask you protect yourself and others from disease while the health care system is getting attacked and dismantled.

These are meaningful and concrete ways of assisting others that are getting completely ignored in favor of more performative ways of "helping" or not helping at all. And I just...wish people knew it wasn't all or nothing.

The powers that be are trying to destroy services that were intended to benefit all of us so they can sell it back to some of us at a steep mark up. When you use NWS for your weather or NPR/PBS for your news and television, you care when they're gone.

You do not have to consent to autocracy. You can resist it.
