while you haven’t said anything overtly wrong, i’m tired of this particular talking point coming up everytime the LGBTQIA+ community expresses being tired of there being so littile LGBTQIA+ representation within the hollywood system that openly LGBTQIA+ actors can’t even get work portraying LGBTQIA+ characters.

so it’s clear, it’s not your fault that your comment seems like an obvious take. the media outlets that provide commentary on the hollywood system frame it as us whiney gays being unable to discern story from reality. but what we’re really saying is we’re tired of a system that will take our stories and sell them to us without contributing back to any of our wellbeing except for maybe the writer. you can’t tell me no queer actors came for those auditions. have you been to a drama club? queer is assumed to be the default within those spaces, yet to get further in the most visible acting oportunities, you either have to be straight or allow your queerness to be obliterated.

Ah! Thank you for the clarification. I’m glad you always know what’s going on in the metafediverse

the lemmy nsfw admin had previously asked if anyone was willing to take ownership of the instance because it was too much mental overhead to moderate a space that could sometimes get dicey and be legally liable for what was hosted on the server. there were no takers. the fact that this admin has been silent leads me to believe that this was not an active choice and instead something away from the keyboard led to this, be that legal, personal, or mental concerns that took priority over something they already felt no one would take on based on previously asking

we’re under quarantine. we are crikket. the rest of the galactic community saw what were up to and is putting us in the isolation void until they observe that we can act right

… why?

worth noting: this is the most popular late night show. paramount is making sure it’s clear this is not about the money, this is about getting in alignment with the fascist overlord. what the people want be damned. so fuck paramount. fuck cbs, fuck every single thing on their platforms. if there’s some legacy media made by paramount steal it now before they try to delete it. if you love star trek, in particular, now’s the time to lift it

yeah. in the “obtainium is more trustworthy because it distributes trust” vs “f-droid is more trust worthy because it reduces attack vectors” i tend to fall in the latter camp. sure, if f-droid is pwned, nearly your entire phone is pwned, but with obtainium you’re more at risk for death by a thousand papercuts.

i’m not expert enough to speak authoritatively between the two stances, but i know enough people who are split between the two to say there’s compelling arguments on both sides, i just picked what matched my understanding of my vulnerabilities best

most! i have one straggler on telegram

and where/how do we try it?

sorry. just trying to amuse myself with one moment of levity in the constant stream of nightmares

still do. just used to, too

probably don’t even post or interact with lemmy.ml. strip them of influence by simply disengaging from their squishy power

all of that is because gender is socially derived. we don’t need to attach any aspect of our personality to our gender, or any of our gender to our personality. given this, we can understand all gender to be either contrived or performative. if gender is performative, we can contrive associations that are positive and hopefully raise a new generation of decently well adjusted men who get us closer to living in a post gender-coded society

that’s the craziest part to me! fuckin’ tankies acting like a hyperfascist regime is their ally is bonkers

it’s so much not a stretch that it simply just is. it’s the kinda stretch you get sleeping in a perfectly neutral resting position for 8 hours

my objection to snaps came before i knew they were proprietary. they actually factually run worse

they’re fediverse mascots. i’m not sure about the middle two, but the far left one represents Sharkey (a transfriendly misskey fork) and the far right one represents Pleroma (a fediverse platform written by far right chuds that’s been forked into akkoma about it)

i hope someone working on KDE sees this and says “well this is unacceptable. we have to figure out why this is causing so much frame lag” and the ability to enhugen your cursor remains forever.
