In-between moments of righteous activism, we all have lives we attend to. What did you do last week, or what are your plans this week? Watching any good movies or shows? Go on any dates? Struggling with, or achieved, any major life goals? Survive any alien invasions?

Do you want to promote a new sub, or discuss topics that otherwise get removed? Do you want to introduce yourself, but are feeling too shy to make your own post?

Feel free to share here!

NOTE: Rules are relaxed, but not gone entirely. Be excellent to each other!

After trying for months, and 3 rounds of submitting it and having it rejected, I finally got a wikipedia page for Nolan Investigates up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Investigates They were so infuriating along the way that I almost gave up, but if I gave up they would win so I persevered even when tehy really testing my patience. It's a small thing, but this is my little fight, and I made it happen.

Ahhhh, that's awesome!! Dude congrats on achieving that :) you know, I haven't thought much about how Wikipedia could be a place for spreading awareness of LGB issues like that; I've just marked it off in my mind as "captured" by anti-LGB advocates. But there are more mechanisms to promote discussion there than on private, heavy-handedly-moderated sites like Reddit, right?

I hear you. I have been thinking nearly that exact thought a lot recently. We've got this! Things are changing for the better in so many countries, the US has a long way to go but steps like this help!

It's late but I wanted to say thank you for allowing me back in. I'm happy to see that this place hasn't completely disappeared.

Thought people might appreciate this meme posted on r/SuperStraight that is a little off-topic: https://saidit.net/s/SuperStraight/comments/9dm2/sign_of_the_times/

Posted a couple of longer comments just now, in case anyone wants to read my rambling writing and/or get into a debate, lol. Would be curious to hear others' thoughts on both these topics.

"Why do people have a preference for femininity/masculinity?"

SPOILERS-containing rant about LGB-negative stereotypes in the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once.
