Musk is overtly transphobic at this point, promoting anti-trans documentaries and lobbying congress to criminalise trans healthcare for youths.

I'm leaving twitter until he stops being a person at all. I am the only Ben Swithen on the internet, so you can find me anywhere.

My son is 15

I never bought him a pride onesie when he was a baby.

I never read him a book that had two moms as part of the storyline.

When he was little stores and businesses didn’t have LGBTQ+ displays and we didn’t celebrate pride month.

He was raised Catholic, and went to church.

Guess what? He is gay.

The rainbow won’t make your kids gay. They are born that way. A display in a store won’t make your kid trans, they are born that way.

If you don’t love and accept them for who they are, YOU are a shitty parent.

They haven’t failed, you have.

@lamsenemyx I feel Pedro wouldn't *need* a big one. He's like Sportacus, humble enough to be passively cool.

@depthsofwiki To be fair, they kept releasing new episodes of Steven Universe, necessitating updates. There hasn't been a new episode of Portugal since October 1143.

@juh_1223 @depthsofwiki And the controversy surrounding his first election, maybe, or perhaps the number of quotes commonly misattributed to him - but he was also the president when Wikipedia was founded.

As clever as Chat GPT 4 is, it absolutely can't grasp "don't use any words in your answer which contain the letter 'e'", or any equivalent phrases. #chatgpt4

It's the feast day of St Joan of Arc, and baby, we're celebrating.

You may look but not touch.
I'm willing to bet that this darling little good girl would go berserk if you even just pointed at the food...

@depthsofwiki Shitting on the clock? A horologist's horror!

[depths of wikipedia! @depthsofwiki]

from German Wikipedia: "shit day," the extra workday(s) employers would add at the end of the year to make up for the time employees spent shitting on the clock

@fakehistoryhunt A hero - and you've made me realise I don't own a cheese slicer, even though slices of cheese (with or without peanut butter) are a joy!
