@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social Mamdani is cute. I am sure that has a lot to do with it. 🤣

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social I would love to see natsee barbie step on a rake, over and over and over.

@MissConstrue@mefi.social I grew up under the tutelage of people who were children the last time they pulled this bullshit. Born circa 1915's. I was taught to grab stable things that "keep" as often as I could. I'm still doing that and I recommend others do the same. Get things now and stash. Little bit at the time. Keep your trap closed about how much you have, and only dole it out to people you know would help you if the circumstances were reversed.

"Fuck this company, I hope no one buys their shit lettuce anymore" is kind of how we feel about lots of things. Lots of things.

They took the credit for your second symphony Rewritten by machine on new technology And now I understand the problems you can see PROFOUND LYRICS.

Sure, I'll work on it.

I don't think Armistead would mind me posting this here. In many ways, I have lived part of this life here in Florida. We are both southerners and children of people who'd have followed ol' Anita to her bitter end. To those of you who've never read any of his Tales of the city, this is a glimpse of our existence here, and what it felt like to face the consequences of our existence here. Please read and share, as "Pride month" needs to be a year round thing. I'll stand with my trans brothers and sisters as he's asked. Not because its popular, or because the fashionable suggest it, but, because its the right thing to do. In many ways, I am Michael. In many ways, so are you. "Dear Mama, I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to write. Every time I try to write to you and Papa I realize I’m not saying the things that are in my heart. That would be O.K., if I loved you any less than I do, but you are still my parents and I am still your child. I have friends who think I’m foolish to write this letter. I hope they’re wrong. I hope their doubts are based on parents who loved and trusted them less than mine do. I hope especially that you’ll see this as an act of love on my part, a sign of my continuing need to share my life with you. I wouldn’t have written, I guess, if you hadn’t told me about your involvement in the Save Our Children campaign. That, more than anything, made it clear that my responsibility was to tell you the truth, that your own child is homosexual, and that I never needed saving from anything except the cruel and ignorant piety of people like Anita Bryant. I’m sorry, Mama. Not for what I am, but for how you must feel at this moment. I know what that feeling is, for I felt it for most of my life. Revulsion, shame, disbelief - rejection through fear of something I knew, even as a child, was as basic to my nature as the color of my eyes. No, Mama, I wasn’t “recruited.” No seasoned homosexual ever served as my mentor. But you know what? I wish someone had. I wish someone older than me and wiser than the people in Orlando had taken me aside and said, “You’re all right, kid. You can grow up to be a doctor or a teacher just like anyone else. You’re not crazy or sick or evil. You can succeed and be happy and find peace with friends - all kinds of friends - who don’t give a damn who you go to bed with. Most of all, though, you can love and be loved, without hating yourself for it.” But no one ever said that to me, Mama. I had to find it out on my own, with the help of the city that has become my home. I know this may be hard for you to believe, but San Francisco is full of men and women, both straight and gay, who don’t consider sexuality in measuring the worth of another human being. These aren’t radicals or weirdos, Mama. They are shop clerks and bankers and little old ladies and people who nod and smile to you when you meet them on the bus. Their attitude is neither patronizing nor pitying. And their message is so simple: Yes, you are a person. Yes, I like you. Yes, it’s all right for you to like me, too. I know what you must be thinking now. You’re asking yourself: What did we do wrong? How did we let this happen? Which one of us made him that way? I can’t answer that, Mama. In the long run, I guess I really don’t care. All I know is this: If you and Papa are responsible for the way I am, then I thank you with all my heart, for it’s the light and the joy of my life. I know I can’t tell you what it is to be gay. But I can tell you what it’s not. It’s not hiding behind words, Mama. Like family and decency and Christianity. It’s not fearing your body, or the pleasures that God made for it. It’s not judging your neighbor, except when he’s crass or unkind. Being gay has taught me tolerance, compassion and humility. It has shown me the limitless possibilities of living. It has given me people whose passion and kindness and sensitivity have provided a constant source of strength. It has brought me into the family of man, Mama, and I like it here. I like it. There’s not much else I can say, except that I’m the same Michael you’ve always known. You just know me better now. I have never consciously done anything to hurt you. I never will. Please don’t feel you have to answer this right away. It’s enough for me to know that I no longer have to lie to the people who taught me to value the truth. Mary Ann sends her love. Everything is fine at 28 Barbary Lane. Your loving son, Michael"

@Kierkegaanks@beige.party @paninid@mastodon.world which proves that no amount of gym can fix your ugly soul.

There needs to be a GIF of someone slapping Ayn Rand in the mouth.

@Guillotine_Jones@beige.party @revndm@queer.cool @n_dimension@infosec.exchange man, i miss all the good stuff

@alexpsmith@beige.party In the back of Woolworth's no doubt. I would remind her that if she intends to let him "Take the wheel" that most western countries now require a valid drivers license and proof of insurance to operate a motor vehicle.

Hey Google maps! I dont give a shit about the "local vibe" because the "local vibe" is fascist!

@maddad@mastodon.world I'd be interested in seeing the end result myself.

@alexpsmith@beige.party Sounds about right. Follow that instinct dear.

@alexpsmith@beige.party Oh that'll do it. 🤣

@mawhrin@circumstances.run @paninid@mastodon.world and we all know that what's done in the dark, always comes to the light.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social ok. Ill have a gander.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social are they on blursed_sky?

Techo viking called. Said he's still watching you and your bullshit.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social same same same

@DeliaChristina@sfba.social Sinister is a word.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party you're a woman, our medicine isn't intended for women. If we were treated equally, we wouldn't need a women's center in every hospital. Show your ass, you have rights as a patient, and they're likely sociopaths in positions of power. Call that shit out as it happens. Call them sociopathic. I snatched a clipboard out to the hands of a nurse at the clinic one day. Told her that no matter how much money she made, she'd likely suffer before she died because karma comes back around. She died of covid for refusing the vaccination. We are the most uncaring country on the planet it would seem.

@kimlockhartga@beige.party 👆 🤘

@jerry@infosec.exchange 👀

@rjblaskiewicz@mstdn.social @heidilifeldman@mastodon.social well done. 👆

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social I just shave. Takes the skin right off. 🤣

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social we can blame it on Bugs Bunny. Cause I could see him doing just that. 🙃

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social sure wish it would hurry tf up

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social algebra again? The horror!

@cR0w@infosec.exchange you have no idea how many times I have said please don't do that to the plebs.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social welp. Guess he needed his mother and a wet wipe.

@paninid@mastodon.world dude, you can look at him and tell he's not well.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social great phone wallpaper idea.

@EdCates@mastodon.social @paninid@mastodon.world i'd imagine it's medication. The gaunt face tells the story.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social 💔

@krypt3ia@infosec.exchange I mean, if I had that kind of money, I'd shower all the time. Maybe its just me but smelling like swampy ass is kinda gross.

I am crossing my fingers that the people that support cutting all of the funding to food safety programs end up with cyclosporiosis. I imagine that they are very much the same people that snatched up all of the toilet roll during the pandemic. They deserved to shit themselves to death then. They deserve to shit themselves to death now.

@RnDanger@infosec.exchange 👀 hope it wasn't me.

@MaryAustinBooks@mstdn.social damnit! Where the hell are the corn dogs and funnel cakes?

@gwynnion@mastodon.social hey what did you tell us? I can't see it dear.

@praetor@mstdn.social oh wow.

Tech Jesus going after LG for installing adware and software in the background after you plug in your brand new expensive monitor is interesting to see. They're adding "AI Service Terms" that you have to inform anyone entering your casa that they might be recorded. How fucking sinister. SINISTER

@krypt3ia@infosec.exchange well it looks like they are trying to outdo the previous versions but the stupidity is getting in the way.

Y'all think she got the cyclospora squirts?

I hope the ghost of Gore Vidal comes to haunt James Carville tonight. Just to remind him that he was right about Dems like him, way back then, and still is now. You can't ride a fence that long and not get a splinter in your ass from time to time. Let that splinter be painful. Painful enough for him to shut his yapper about the things he's completely out of touch with.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social its so much easier this way.

@VeroniqueB99@mastodon.social fucking SAME 🫠

@krypt3ia@infosec.exchange he's got tiny hands. Must be a thing.

@0x00string@infosec.exchange IKR?!? SHIT!!!!
