yeah it was originally, I found it on rednote

short for original character, made by the one on the left

Gotta second this, it's a little hard to find from a separate instance- you need to go to /c/news@hexbear.net and pick it from the pinned threads

when I say 'fediverse' people think I'm saying 'fetiverse' and sometimes they ask if it's like open source fetlife. 🫠

I've been having a ton of fun, I like the cultural exchange a lot.

Personally I don't care if China has data on me, it's not like it's useful for them and I'd rather them than meta or the US government or whoever.

There's also way more queer/trans content than I was expecting.

There was a primary this time around and it was even more of a farce than usual. The party just straight up ignored all the people voting uncommitted, to all of our detriment.

People did not do whatever they think should have happened and thus I will name call them.

I don't actually understand what this is saying.

Either way this isn't the place for a back and forth on this kind of thing, so I won't be discussing the election further.

To steer back to your original topic though, you seem accustomed to the type of censorship of the left that's typical on Reddit. Many of the people that are here are specifically here because the left wing communities they were participating in were systematically removed from reddit.

The reality is in a place like this sometimes you're going to hear dissenting opinions, unless you're very selective in your instance and only browse local.

“People don’t vote for my side so I’ll say they’re enabling fascism!”

iconic, I've been repeatedly told by liberals that because I voted third party that I'm essentially a trump voter.

that wasn't what was said though.

they said that liberals created the material conditions for fascism. i.e. by suppressing the left and only offering up warmongering and genocide they created a situation where someone like trump could get elected. again.

a fair number of the people who are on this platform are here specifically because oligarch-owned media sites heavily censor all left wing speech, and have done so for many years.

I can be a bit melodramatic and sassy, also like making music and looking good. Long-time fan miku fan too.

2014 throwback:

They were never my favorite band. I hate the lyrics, but I like the sound.

-- Paul Ryan to NYT when asked if he was a fan of rage against the machine

Not sure if this is better or worse than JD: ::: spoiler spoiler

Don’t mistake me, I clearly see that Ryan has a whole lotta “rage” in him: A rage against women, a rage against immigrants, a rage against workers, a rage against gays, a rage against the poor, a rage against the environment. Basically the only thing he’s not raging against is the privileged elite he’s groveling in front of for campaign contributions.

breaking it in gaza didn't take long either

Paraphrasing, I said I don't consider my rights inside an imperial war machine to be worth sacrificing others for, even if they're on the other side of the planet. I didn't mean to imply that the genocide was ending as a result of that.

To be clear, I'm not advocating inaction or hopelessness or anything like that. I'm just expressing the sentiment it's not realistic for a government designed to represent slaveowners to be reformed into working for everyone.

I'd encourage other trans people to join/start local groups and find whatever community you have where you live.

the ceasefire is holding as far as I've heard https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/live-blog/israel-hamas-live-updates-rcna188301

it's at least one day without Gaza getting bombed so far I think.

obviously this doesn't end here and the settlers are now ratcheting up things in West Bank instead.

It's a rotten system, it's going to produce rotten results

mental gymnastics

So you voted for Trump.

No I voted for Claudia de la Cruz

Trump won by more votes than all the third party votes combined. Third party votes had zero impact in my state too.

First they came for the Communists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Communist

Then they came for the Socialists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Socialist

Then they came for the trade unionists

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a trade unionist

Then they came for the Jews

And I did not speak out

Because I was not a Jew

Then they came for me

And there was no one left

To speak out for me

This time around it's started with Palestinians, democrats acting helpless to stop the genocide (while actually arming it). It does not fill me with confidence that if LGBT people became a political liability that democrats wouldn't unite with the republicans on our extermination too.
