@DEFlLEDSOUL Living in the NW part of AL & 8 years since beginning my transition/first Pride. I haven’t been in 2 years & frankly don’t feel safe at our Pride Events, especially given that the police force here has 2 officers on their payroll that are affiliated with Patriot Front.
@somethingBurgur@DEFlLEDSOUL I’m close to 40 & never had a single positive experience involving a church, at worst PTSD & hate-mongering fear from those involved with them. I quit going to our Pride when 2 of the sponsors were Christian-affiliated, esp. when one had a livestream of the crowd on their FB.
@DEFlLEDSOUL Living in Alabama is a certain kind of hell as is, but toss in trying to find a stable route of employment while being 🏳️⚧️ is nearly impossible. If I had $50 for every time the sky-daddy worshipping, “family establishments” gave me the run around - I could’ve moved by now.
@Touyarokii What a gd nightmare. Waking up from that would be a relief. I feel bad for her but I would immediately get sterilized if it took a 40 year loan.
@depression2019 We gotta start taxing these tax-haven & paedo protecting shelters since half of these “churches” look like billionaire compounds or backrooms from hell.
@nimbytwink@depression2019 ¿Por que no los dos? Although I’d argue that it’s even worse in the Bible Belt these days. If you speak up, your family & community defends the pastor/reverend/brother/elder/bishop without fail. My former county alone has vehemently defended paedo’s as long as they are Christian
@FatNut67@matt_talbot99 Because they are always looking to blame/deflect their sick behavior on some kind of physical/mental issue. Reminds me of Bone Spurs in Chief & so many of the pederast church leaders that find any excuse to continue their sick predatory behaviour.
@Inter_Soup Reminds me so much of @DavidKHarbour ‘s character in #DTFStLouis & his ASL performances. As someone who doesn’t hear well & needs assistance with audio, this makes me hopeful for more integration of ASL versions of movies/tv series (HBOMax is good about offering ASK options).
@yogurtpott You can’t have a genuine conversation/creative discussion because AI has turned every engagement-seeking post into something that sounds like a LinkedIn circlejerk.
@yogurtpott@mweinbach@A1Mish Burning tokens because they are the LCD of society/too lazy to navigate UI that’s been around for 20+ years all because “AI is trendy & I want people to know I use it”. 🤦🏼♀️
@mweinbach@A1Mish Decision fatigue is just a fancy way of saying “I’ll hold up a line for 10 min because I want to be unique or because I can’t be bothered to read through things that sound good”. Starbucks has been around long enough & promos new drinks on the first page most of the time. 🤦🏼♀️
@Landon1426360 The right choice. Been subbed to them awhile & got caught up on a lot of the lore/theories thanks to them, after not watching any of @Kanepixels7 videos for awhile due to life. They do a great job of explaining it all!
