@MPSLewishamCntl Sweet Justice is assaulting people for doing capitalism now? You sound like actual bandits.

🧵 Almost 2 decades ago, I was at an evangelical youth group in the summer. A random teenage boy approached me and told me he would appreciate if I dressed differently at church. I was wearing a spaghetti strap knee length dress.

I used to be mad at him. Now I feel bad for him/1

Before Elon, Twitter was unmatched for major breaking news by any outlet on Earth. Updates from locals were up to the second. Journalists and policy experts were verified and their insights were boosted by the algorithm to maximize their audience. Network news chased Twitter. 1/

[But what if we were hangin' WITHOUT Mr. Cooper? @tonygoldmark]

"Cis/cisgender is a slur!" Okay then, what word would y'all prefer?

No, seriously, tell me. In any discussion of trans identities or trans rights, we need SOME word to categorize people who are not trans.

Would "non-trans" do? I'm trying to meet you delicate fucks halfway here.

as much as I love a feminist retelling of Persephone, I also want us to talk more about Demeter. the mother who went to the ends of the earth to free her daughter, who wouldn't stop fighting to save her, literally going against the king of the gods, and brought her child home

On the subject of "tragedy tourism" many 9/11 survivors I know refuse to visit the WTC memorial not because the site itself is painful but because of the people.
Most tourists smile in their photos. I once saw a girl laugh as she ran off with the flower placed in a victim's name.

[Sacha Coward @sacha_coward]

So now cisgender is 'a slur', what do we call ourselves?

I'm suggesting GPFs:
Genitally Predetermined Folk.

Isn't this fun?

Let's make up really stupid long descriptions so we don't offend people who aren't actually offended but are pretending for clout.

I love it here.

[Suede was here. He's gone now @SuedeBlade]

The other day I had a viral tweet where I said what people are doing to queer folk now is similar to how Jews were slandered before the holocaust

I still think of one reply to that tweet: "Except Jews don't mutilate kids"

& I'm like buddy

What do you think they said about Jews

Reminder: when someone wants to engage in bad-faith arguments, demands you provide evidence to prove a point they already disagree with, or decry you as weak for not engaging in debate, you can just tell them you don't value their opinion and leave.

@kristede1 @MarshallWSL Yes. Adult swimwear has nothing to do with children and claiming that it is grooming is simply dishonest. Going to such lengths to enforce your biases is pretty bigoted by any measure.

In the future maybe let those gays speak for themselves instead of tokenizing unknown people

@SBaby711 @gingerfreakb3ta @theavalonians @Mirandada16 It didn’t happen that way even with an elipsis.

[Tropical Druid /|\ @DruidTropical]

@theavalonians Crone comes from a word that means “disagreeable” and wasn’t some ancient Celtic title of reverence or endearment. Crone is only recently being reclaimed as a word of empowerment.
