This is where I’m stuck. Not because I feel unsafe - I may be a pan-man, but I’m also white and cis - but because “loving” this country feels like tacit support of people who hate you for... existing?

I genuinely don’t know how I can love America and the Americans that America hates at the same time.

What a fantastic design that I never want to encounter again. And I love crows!

If you don’t mind a question from a well-meaning cis pan guy: am I safest just _always_ using a trans person’s chosen name and true pronouns, even when discussing pre-transition stories?

By safest, I mean least likely to make any of y’all lovelies uncomfortable, obvi. Y’all already have to deal with enough shit…

Jesus Christ, fuck that person forever. Do you have a personal favorite alternative?

“...as Batman tore baddies up from ass to appetite.”

As a closeted collector of cool colloquialisms, kudos, Colbert.

You literally started your comment with “I remember when...”
This implies you think it’s a new phenomenon. 

Thank the Goddess, I finally get Nicole Byer in a recurring role on a major show. She intrigued me in Good Place, but stole my heart as Trudy Judy in B99. 

How goddamned pathetic does your life have to be for you to get your dander up about someone using common colloquial shorthand?

I mean, you yourself committed a number of grammatical violations in your outrage, not to mention all of the idiomatic niceties you employed which are just “low” ways to say what you mean.

Fucki…

This is one of the clearest examples of fetishism I’ve seen in recent memory.

He’s describing gorgeous woman who has a dazzling smile, enough cheekbone for three normal models, and appears to be an utter badass (based on her response to this idiot). I spent a couple of minutes learning about Nyakim Gatwech and found…

You know, I was hungry before I read this post. Now I couldn’t eat another bite. Delicious.

Aww, goddammit, really? These things never seem to get offered to non-problematic people. 

ACAB. So are their fucking simps. This is an utter travesty of justice.

1) a portmanteau that sounds great but makes my eye twitch every time I see it written.

Or 5 people who think that these people and their ilk are responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths since 2020.

Same! That reminds me, the last of Abby’s videos I watched was her coming out. I know what I’m doing today!

When I read your comment, I thought “well, duh.” But then I thought again and realized how insidious it is that they use the word collectible to describe a “product” entirely based on the idea of “I have this and NO ONE ELSE CAN”

As a member of the “holy hell, just so much ADHD” tribe, you’re not alone. I mean, we vacuum up diffuse info and have a tendency to over-engineer our introspection. If ‘horrible narcissist’ is the only alternative you’re currently orbiting, you’re doing something right.

Trick question:  “Saturn Demeter” looks right but it would drive you nuts that the first name is a Roman god and the second belongs to the Greek pantheon

I’ve never wanted anything more.

You honestly think that there is no difference between violating someone’s personal space to steal their things and taking them off of a train?
