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!

I keep seeing one worker per restaurant with a they/them pin or sign. Who fucking cares?

Mate, I barely read your nametag I don't care what you have going on down there but guess what? Your stupid label makes it very obvious you want me to care (so you can bitch about me caring)

I say this with all the kindness I can muster but why is it almost always some over-weight girl who presents in an entirely feminine way but maybe with extra piercings and a partially shaved head?

Just questions from the void.

I'm just calling them all Larry from now on. So feel free to fuck yourselves 🙃

Rather stupid but it just irked me. Mate was playing Far Cry 6, I was watching, and all of the sudden a NPC transman appears. If it would add anything to the story, fine but this just seemed stupid. Yeah, fighting dictators and shit while popping T and according to the fanwiki "Paolo underwent top surgery without any anesthetic and barely flinched". REALLY? THAT SOUNDS VERY DUMB. It could be it would have a point later in the story but I have doubts and I just don't give a fuck.

I was already kinda bored with the story of Far Cry 6 and after that character I decided to just watch The Orville. Also: it's pride month here and that godawful stupid invasion flag is every fucking where and lots of spicy straights are being incredibly spicy.

To quote the best worst movie of the 2000s and to be extra dramatic: "I'm fed up with this world!" - The Room

I did not hit her. It's not true! It's bullshit, I did not hit her. I did not.

Lol, they literally just adhere to sexist stereotypes. I'm sorry, I know how messed up that kind of messaging is but it's so silly I can't help laughing. Also, your all-caps made me laugh.

I seriously hope women who believe this (I'm sure at least one dev or writer did to write this crap) aren't dating any guys because god knows what kind of bullshit they'd project onto those guys. (I'm hope they're not dating women, either, but most transmen these days are heterosexual women, it seems.)

Ah yeah, that's also a thing. Dudebroking Paolo, with inevitable snapback, is together with a girl. Which of course is fine but in current times, it does feel a bit like gay erasure.

Anyway, apparently some are still angry because it's not good enough representation or whatever.

Got invited to a new gaming discord and quickly learned there were at least 4 trans women in it. Watched them complain about how awful and stupid men are for a few hours because one of them started a long distance relationship with a straight man a few months ago and then he wasn't so into the idea of the surprise penis when he was finally informed and they broke up. Can't imagine what would have happened if the trans woman flew out to see the long distance straight boyfriend before revealing the surprise dick.

So, this discord would get very interesting very quickly if they knew my position on things. Had a hard time not commenting on the drama and mentioning how self-inflicted the pain is.
