real talk:
climate change is serious, and we need to take serious, large-scale action to mitigate it.
when i say #bancars , this is shorthand. but: don't be stressing about your personal issues, *like that guardian article says*, addressing climate change is about society-wide choices. and as a society, we have chosen cars to transport us. this is not about you, or your job, or your kids.
reliance on personal automobiles needs to stop at the society level. this is not about you.

update: future photos from @WedgeLIVE will be marked sensitive. 🎉
glad this feature exists! any user can choose to set photos sensitive by default.
moderation notice: i have marked all of @WedgeLIVE 's photos as sensitive because i don't want to look at bob kroll's fucking facist face on the local TL. i will continue to do this whenever i think about it, probably.
Well, I got my nephew's book directly from it's publisher instead of from #Powells.
Honestly, though, a *lot* of bookstores carry that title and if I'd gone to any other online shop, I'm sure they'd also have "Unmasked". What they /wouldn't/ have is liberal bullshit about how advocating for my death is some kind of moral good, actually.
I cannot abide by liberal bullshit. If you're going to do something evil because of contractual obligations, then just do it without pretending it's virtuous. We all make compromises and it's really adding quite a lot of insult to injury by refusing to acknowledge them as such.
@laurelin hi who are you and why are you following me
This is also where privilege discourse breaks down. Privilege is not a binary! It's a spectrum, a three-dimensional space. Bi queerness sits at an intersection where *liberation* means the freedom to choose your partners and relationships. Just as it should be free for EVERYONE.
Also SimCopter had an easter egg in it that a programmer inserted without permission where on his birthday and on his boyfriend's birthday, the city would be full of men in swim trunks holding hands and making kissing noises. I remember there was a controversy about it at the time, they fired the programmer and released a patch you could download to get rid of it (which was pretty unusual at the time) :(
