“Sir” is in her first name, and her last name is also a boy name.

she actually did that for the “trans” character in the Hogwarts game.

Sirona Ryan. I shit you not.

Tina Cracker.

fuck Putin, slava Ukraini!

I definitely didn’t know how heated people were towards .ml when I joined. istg I’m not a tankie.

I voted for Harris. I’m trans. I can’t get my passport updated. I live in a blue state, so my vote just didn’t matter.

Czechia seems like it’d be pretty based. or Estonia. I like Central/Eastern Europe. or maybe Thailand.

ngl kinda glad Trump banned trans people from the military. I can’t get drafted! 🥲

save it up and you can spin it into yarn. great for making mittens, hats, scarfs and baby sweaters.

friendship ended with Raytheon. now Rhinemetall is my best friend.

Why would he push NATO countries to increase their defense spending target by 150% if he was planning on actually invading?

Trump isn’t planning to invade NATO (except maybe Greenland.) he’s planning to leave NATO. NATO exists to protect the Western world, and its highly interconnected economies. it’s a globalist project, and the US’s role as de-facto leader of NATO gave us the ability to project tremendous soft military power, the same way the dollar lets us project soft economic power.

MAGA are isolationists. NATO protects “the West,” but Trump doesn’t care about the West, only America. so what if Putin carves up Europe? has Europe even said “thank you?” they’re screwing us over, just look at the trade deficit! that’s the logic.

the amount of consumer goodwill that statement bought easily pays for any losses from the hotdogs. companies seem hellbent on torching their brand reputation for short-term gains these days. little gestures go a long way.

I have no clue what to do. I’m American. I’m trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I’ve gone to protests. I’ve talked to state senators about legislation. I’ve canvassed. I’ve talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.

it all feels totally useless. nothing I’ve done has had any effect. my own mom voted for Trump three times. it’s like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I’m swimming but I’m still drowning.

I’ll just have a cup of rain, thanks.

I actually don’t. :) it’s the first thing I disable on my phone. I only capitalize “I” specifically, and proper nouns.

again though, my issue is one with producing the Unicode character of the specific em-dash glyph. maybe some phones automatically convert dashes to em-dashes based on context but I personally wouldn’t know how it’s done.

no no, you misunderstand. I’m not talking about the verbal flourish of dashes for interjection - I use those all the time, in this very sentence - I’m specifically talking about producing the specific Unicode character (—) instead of just using the normal ASCII dash (-). the only way I can make the actual em-dash character is by long-pressing. if I do – or —, it’s just a sequence of normal dash glyphs for me.

I buy all my groceries from Omega Mart, like a normal person.

I use dashes all the time, but em-dashes? I don’t even know how to type those. I guess I could long-press the dash on my phone and select it, but… why?

again? oy! this time I’ll give you an invincibility cooldown.

this is the source of a lot of my existential dread. I can’t logically refute it, at most I can acknowledge it’s pointless for me to worry about, but I can’t stop myself from worrying about maltheism.
