Art is also political, and more popular with open minded people than regressives. Fascists have historically hated art.

tiefling ,

That's like, 90% of it

tiefling ,

You repeating "I don't hate them" over and over while at the same time attacking trans people at their core sounds a lot like you're either in denial, or you're aware that your position is an unpopular one. Either way, it sounds like you need to do some self discovery.

and eat raw onions like apples

Is... Is this weird? Asking for a friend

tiefling ,

A whole onion is a lot. Taking a few bites from one isn't too bad (though unpleasant), but a whole one is just too much to swallow.

And I say this as someone who can eat oranges, lemons, limes, and even bananas with the peel

Spicy brown mustard, bonus if it's whole grain. Yellow mustard has its uses but is a sad excuse for mustard.

Ketchup is gross, it's so fucking sweet. If I wanted a sweet topping I'd use honey. It's like pouring corn syrup on your food.

Hot sauce is the real king seasoning

tiefling ,

Valentina's for a vinegary sauce. Tabasco Ghost Pepper for a kick on a budget (and easy to find). Otherwise I prefer local sauces. Right now I'm enjoying PSP Brooklyn's Smoked Whiskey Hibiscus

Another favorite is szechuan chili crisp

A loooot of my friends have one. I support them as long as they are happy doing it. It's often their only semi stable income source since the majority are gig freelancers. It's also one of the less risky forms of sex work.

People who subscribe to it are supporting creators, so good for them. Though I personally don't subscribe because I don't have much use for a subscription (I'm hardly sexual) and can support my friends in other ways. But there's no shame in consenting sex work.

Lastly, context matters. If someone is doing it unwillingly it's an entirely different story.

There's very little money in art, except for money laundering, and most art is political in some way

I'm a trans woman, have been transitioning for 10 years. It's really hit or miss whether or not people can clock me. I've had friends know me for two years without knowing I was trans.

Men ogle and catcall me frequently, it's annoying as fuck since I'm not even straight. It's flattering when queer women hit on me though. I've been both catcalled and misgendered within the same block. I also tend to have a strong social presence which is both a blessing and a curse.

Also, men cannot take no as an answer. I often pretend I have a boyfriend since creeps are more respectful of imaginary men than real women.

Probably around 2 years in or so. It's not a light switch, it's more like a dimmer.

Biden administration’s new protections for LGBTQ+ students blocked in 6 more states ( www.cnn.com )

The Biden administration cannot enforce new protections for LGBTQ+ students in Ohio, Virginia and four other states, a federal judge ruled Monday, becoming the latest court to rebuff efforts to expand the scope of a decades-old law that prohibits sex-based discrimination....

The latter. Republicans can't govern for shit. They're the equivalent of the class bully back in highschool who would beat up anyone that got above a C grade.

What is the point of nicotine patches?

I don't get it. It's kinda like you got to want to quit but at the same time yeah quitting is already hard for me. But I'm supposed to put it on me and somehow I get a form of nicotine without smoking. It's like how am I supposed to get used to it. I will even take the patch off try to save it for later just so I can have a...

tiefling ,

You mean they quit cold turkey, right?

Right?

😰

tiefling ,

Stop supporting Trump

The cruelty is the point

He's literally giving up information about our spies and causing them to "disappear"

The dude is a traitorous piece of shit who deserves to be punished for treason

University of Minnesota pauses hiring of professor who called Israel's war against Hamas 'a textbook case of genocide' ( jewishinsider.com )

Our country's government is an absolute sham that only benefits the wealthy, and needs to be torn down and rebuilt for the people..

HR isn't there to protect you, they're there to protect the company's best interests. If you give them an inch they'll take a mile.

If I'm not mistaken, burning the shit out of coffee neutralizes some of the caffeine in it- ironically

tiefling ,

Found one!

tiefling ,

ADHD meds have been basically non-existent for the last few years. When will they actually make the medication available to us?

tiefling ,

They can execute you too

tiefling ,

So the driver is going to be charged with manslaughter, right? Right? 😧

tiefling ,

When the shooting starts, the joints come out

tiefling ,

They're full gram joints. I don't think Little Timmy needs more than two puffs from one. Puff puff pass.

(David Attenborough voice)

Every two years, like Trekkies to a convention, the phantom migrant caravan reforms and embarks on a perilous pilgrimage to the US-Mexico border. Much like those Trekkies, many will not survive the arduous journey. Yet, their strength lies in numbers, allowing them to fend off against ravenous wolves, zealous ICE agents, and even cacti. Curiously, the caravan vanishes entirely in the middle of November, only to reform again two years later.

tiefling ,

I have a forked tongue

tiefling ,

Yup

tiefling ,

Blowing up unarmed Palestinians with US-made weaponry is a core tenet of Israeli culture, you can't just deny them or their basic rights like that! /S

tiefling ,

It's a fusion genre that's been around since the 90s, popularized by bands like Massive Attack, Portishead, and Tricky. Bjork also falls under it often.

It draws inspiration from a whole ton of genres like hip-hop, soul, jazz, and dub. The most well known song is probably Teardrop by Massive Attack (since it's the intro to House). It's a pretty large underground genre nowadays. I also really like Morcheeba, Sneaker Pimps, Hooverphonic, and Thievery Corporation (though they're kinda their own genre)

Low key, it's classy stoner music

tiefling ,

Oh for certain, half the songs are about shagging

tiefling ,

We used to deal with Nazis much differently back in the day

tiefling ,

That shouldn't be a problem, most landlord owned properties don't pass code here either

tiefling ,

They've been trying for as long as they've been around. As long as they have an orange tip they're considered "safe" (which is about as foolproof as safeguarding a vault with a "keep out" sign)

tiefling ,

Even with shield and blade song, you'd need a 19 base AC

tiefling ,

I would spend the entirety of my time being creative and working on art

$10 for a bag of rhinestones, $5 for glue

Or weed, but weed is temporary

I'm well connected within the sideshow and fire performance worlds, so there's a lot there. Most fireballs from a single torch for one. Definitely a few Rubik's cube related ones too.

tiefling ,

I feel like the only person who hates them. They trap heat like it's nobody's business.

Performance art is a passion project. There's absolutely no money in it. I'm lucky to get $100 a gig. I also absolutely HATE that I have to use Instagram while constantly facing an uphill battle of PG-13 censors.

What I do get is a shit ton of really cool photos, skills, and props, as well as a loving community

tiefling ,

Summer is absolutely dogshit terrible. Anyone who claims they like it is lying to themselves. It's muggy, hot, humid, touristy, expensive. What is there to like?

tiefling ,

A lot of those (especially on Instagram and other more popular socials) are right wing astroturf

tiefling ,

Not fluoride

tiefling ,

I personally welcome this new fleet of self-igniting cop cars. It's such a time saver!

tiefling ,

If I have to use innuendo, emoji, and code words to write "Come to my horror themed burlesque show, tickets in bio!" on IG without getting flagged and shadowbanned, they can deal with it too.

tiefling ,

They're going to say that regardless. We should not be treating fascists with kid gloves and should be throwing the book at them.

tiefling ,

Oh my gods that's disgusting

tiefling ,

Because those people agree with the Republican view

What really baffles me is the existence of Republican BIPOC/LGBT folks
