@abbietobehere @squirtkobainia it's privated, what'd she say?

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

"bisexual girlfriend of straight boyfriend" discourse bums me out because there a time in my life where I was the "straight boyfriend" and what I needed while closeted was not being denied access to queer community

but people are uncomfortable acknowledging the existence of eggs

[Elizabeth! @InstantSunrise]

If you’re bi and you’re wondering if it’s okay to bring your straight boyfriend to pride.

Ask yourself this question, and seriously think about it: “Is he going to be cool about it if a guy hits on him?”

@rianphin I want to do a longer version of that essay. It's my favorite thing I've ever done and it ended up kind of getting buried.

also, you're awesome.

Homophobia is lowkey a class indicator, once guys get into certain spaces they drop the bigotry immediately

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

@offbeatorbit fair!

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

@offbeatorbit I think a lot of how "hipster" was talked about back then and now avoided talking about how much of the subculture was informed by whiteness/gentrification, and so it always fails to paint a picture.

@hellspatisserie first day of class my Spanish teacher would go up to those students and say obscene things to them to see if they react. She'd say shit that had "tu madre" in it my friend just shook his head unconvincingly and be like "sorry ma'am don't understand you" in a cuban accent.

@jamwither @davidslosttt Stringer had DSA heat at the start that was handicapped by sexual harassment accusations, Morales became a dark horse that imploded because of incompetency, and things were split between Wiley and Garcia

meanwhile Left Twitter is are idiots and overestimated Yang as front runner

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

@jamwither @davidslosttt he had the largest war chest and was coming from a highly visible but low risk position of borough president, and was effective at building a coalition of unions, (Black) homeowners and seniors while the Left flank couldn't consolidate on one candidate.

@skyler_higley yes. transubstantiation.

@offbeatorbit I hear the Guggenheim is on a downward spiral.

[Will Manidis @WillManidis]

one of my favorite early quaker texts is John Woolman's Journal (1774) wherein the merchant's business is booming, but he soon realizes that scaling would burden his soul with "cumber" (unnecessary busyness) so he sabotages it to fail

perhaps llms can help us eliminate cumber.

[Mark Werling @MarkWerling5]

I've been reading about Margaret Fell and the early Quakers. She died today in 1702.

I only knew of them through history books until we moved to central Indiana. There are a number of Friends churches in our area. #Quakers #SocietyOfFriends

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

@offbeatorbit not to mention it's blind to the idea that an oppressed person, if given power, can perpetuate their specific form of oppression on their peers, which is kind of naive.

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

@offbeatorbit I think the idea that there can't be a good male gyno in spite of so many people's experiences is rooted in treating privilege as a insurmountable destiny, which is both nihilist, but also as a trans woman it feels like the same root that you'd find in trans-exclusionary feminism

[Amber Flannery Field tour guide @AmericasComic]

@yyasminhoca People never have a problem with abstraction if it's in a music video, but if it's in something that forces them to focus or investigate something in themselves all of a sudden they get really nervous.

@arthur_ant18 @treswritesstuff Knowing barely anything about him, I actually don't think it's reasonable at all to assume somebody has not changed over 20 years

Billy Wilder, who was one of the ones who escaped, noted about the other parts of his family "the optimists died in Auschwitz"

[Milan Busk @KarolusWangus]

One of the things Tim Snyder points out in Bloodlands is that a surprisingly large number of *German* Jews survived the Holocaust. They saw it coming and fled to Britain or America early. It was the poor bastards in the former Russian empire who woke up with the SS at the door.
