The idea of having to “earn a living” implies that, by default, you don't actually deserve to be ałive.

@PlayStalgiaX I never played Sly and I don't like Wrath of Cortex so it's either Ratchet or Jak. IMO Jak had better sequels, but I'm leaning slightly more towards Ratchet. Gameplay wise they're about even, but I think R&C has a better story, humour, characters, music and aesthetics.

Arguing with transphobes isn’t about changing their minds. Most of them didn’t get there in good faith in the first place.

It’s for everyone else watching.

A lot of these people actively seek out trans people and topics just to argue in the replies.

They aren’t part of the community they hunt for the content so they can be angry at us for even existing. Suddenly people who aren’t trans and aren’t even particularly invested in the issue are seeing constant anti trans rhetoric.

That’s how prejudice spreads online, them just spamming every trans person they see with filth.

So responding isn’t about convincing them. It's the people reading, the ones who haven’t made up their minds yet, or the ones who are being fed a steady diet of anti trans content by the algo. They can read it and come to their conclusion.

@Autistic_Lauren I've only ever listened to one (I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy) and I enjoyed it, I found it enhanced the experience by hearing the author herself read the book to me. I'm not sure if I'd like it as much with a novel rather than a nonfiction book like that though.

No, I will not "agree to disagree" when it comes to child sex trafficking

No, I will not "agree to disagree" when it comes to LGBTQIA+ people having basic human rights

No, I will not "agree to disagree" when it comes to treating immigrants with basic decency

We can agree to disagree on the TV shows we don't like, not HUMAN RIGHTS AND HUMAN DECENCY.

@Autistic_Lauren Without. Distracting since can't help but read subs instead of fully watching media. Even worse for comedy where joke timing is spoiled by reading them before they're delivered. Subs that describe music ruin mood for me, [emotional music plays] or similar takes me out of story.

You’ll say something on here like ‘ I think working class people deserve to have nice, enjoyable lives even if it means wealthy people don’t get any wealthier’ and you’ll get working class people responding like ‘actually you’re wrong and should die’.

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness.

Sometimes it looks like:
• cancelling everything
• showering less
• losing interest in people you love
• feeling numb instead of emotional
• scrolling for hours just to cope
• going quiet because talking feels heavy

@Autistic_Lauren Dark. Always dark. As soon as I got the Dark Reader extension a few years ago to make every site dark, whether they have a dark mode or not, I've wondered how I ever managed without it.

When grievance christians claim ideology is being shoved down their throats, the reality is christians have the cultural acceptance & systemic support to be as intrusive, presumptuous, entitled, & delusional as they choose to weaponize it to be. 1/

The attempt to split LGB from TQIA+ did not come from inside the community. It did not grow organically out of lived experience. It was introduced deliberately as a wedge.

This tactic has a long history. When a minority group cannot be eliminated outright, the next move is fragmentation. You identify internal differences. You exaggerate them. You promise one section safety if it distances itself from the rest. You frame that abandonment as maturity, realism, or courage. This is not accidental politics. It is campaign strategy.

Far-right and authoritarian movements have used this approach repeatedly. Divide labour movements. Divide feminist movements. Divide racial justice movements. Divide queer communities. The goal is always the same. Break solidarity so resistance collapses inward.

The “LGB without the TQIA+” narrative fits this pattern exactly. It reframes shared oppression as competing interests. It tells lesbians, gay men, and bisexual people that their safety depends on sacrificing others. It dresses exclusion up as pragmatism and calls it concern.

Some people fall for it because fear works. When people feel threatened, they look for distance from whoever has been marked as the current target. But it is important to be honest here. This is not just gullibility. It is resentment. It is bitterness. It is people choosing hierarchy over solidarity because hierarchy feels safer than equality.

That is why this campaign is driven by hate, not misunderstanding.

You can see this in how it behaves. It does not stop at disagreement. It moves quickly to harassment, intimidation, and obsessive fixation. It polices bodies. It polices language. It polices who counts as “real.” It treats people as contaminants rather than neighbours. That is not a disagreement about policy. That is a hostility toward existence.

You can also see it in who amplifies it. The same networks that push anti-immigrant rhetoric, anti-feminist talking points, and authoritarian culture wars are the ones boosting the “divorce” message. The overlap is not subtle. It is structural. These groups are not trying to protect lesbians or gay men. They are using them as a shield.

What makes the campaign collapse is reality.

Real communities do not separate cleanly. Trans lesbians exist. Gay trans men exist. Bisexual trans people exist. Non-binary partners exist. Intersex people exist across every sexuality. You cannot cut TQIA+ away without erasing people who already live inside LGB. That is why the argument keeps failing in practice. The people being told they will be “protected” are the same people who get targeted next.

History makes this unavoidable. The same systems that punish homosexuality punish gender nonconformity. Gender policing comes first. Attraction policing follows. Anyone pretending there is a safe stopping point is ignoring how power works.

That is why the campaign has to keep shouting. It has to keep escalating. It has to keep inventing threats. Because once people look at their actual friends, partners, families, and communities, the story falls apart.

Solidarity is not sentimental. It is practical. It is how LGBTQIA+ people survived criminalisation, medical abuse, and social exile. It is why rights were won at all. And it is precisely why authoritarian movements are so invested in tearing it apart.

The bitter irony is that this campaign has done the opposite of what it intended. By trying to fracture the community, it exposed the shared reality more clearly. People saw the overlap. They saw the cruelty. They saw the playbook.

You do not defeat a community built on lived intersections by pretending those intersections are imaginary.

And that is why the split keeps failing.

@Rukia1994443 Cowboy Bebop. I've watched it multiple times over the years, I just have never found the characters or stories very compelling. The music/style/acting are all great, but that doesn't help if the story is about people I don't care for doing things I find uninteresting.

Tatiana Maslany gave one of the most comic accurate performances of a comic character but ppl aren’t ready for that convo

Guest stars that appeared felt like how they occurred in the comics

The finale’s use of 4th breaks & avoidance of a big fight was good.

That was easy.
