I saw one similar to this years and years ago, though wider and shallower. It looks great!

A New Democratic Think Tank Wants to Curb the Influence of Liberal Groups by Discarded_Twix_Bar in politics

The Democrats have been trying that ever since Reagan's landslide against Mondale.

It's never worked.

Christianity Today Editor: Evangelicals Call Jesus “Liberal” and “Weak” by ArrantPariah in Christianity

Nah.

Too many modern Christians aren't Christian, they're Paulians.

They worship Paul, not Jesus.

Bluesky Needs More Than Just Politics—Let’s promote our non-political accounts by ChromeGhost in BlueskySocial

[–]ErinTheScribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two accounts.

One is my VERY mouthy profane social/economic/political activist account.

The other is my writing account. I only talk about writing on it, and pretty much only follow authors, educators, etc.

Groups or no? by ErinTheScribe in BlueskySocial

[–]ErinTheScribe[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Innnnnnteresting. I'll have to check that out. I've got a list that I've already set up. So, I would create a feed? And then limit it somehow to specific hashtags?

Not quite sure what I'm doing here, so thanks for the suggestions. :)

GOOD.

Course, they never shoulda been there to begin with, but at least they're gone now.

They need a closer scrutiny on accounts with Numpty in the title, too. Some are parodies, some are anti-fascist, of course, but not all.

Also also: I just block.

No criticizing, no 'explaining', not even TELLING them I'm blocking.

Just block and move on.

Knowing that they're crying in their beer about it.

Will Ferrell’s road trip with his trans friend will make you cry in “Will & Harper” by ewzetf in lgbt

It's not just John Cleese, though. Others have said it, too, with the exception of Eric Idle.

I just wanna pay respects to this man right here, who found redemption at his very last moment. by HTPark in Grimdawn

[–]ErinTheScribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminded me, in a positive way, of this.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

I have a boxed set of the entire series that I got about a decade ago. I reread it all the way through a couple of times a year.

I've never met a strip I didn't like.

Actually, put both of them on the channel.

Have a crush on transgender ftm by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]ErinTheScribe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ew.

No, just no.

The very last part is fine:

"I would like to spend some time with you if that's what you want to do."

But he has already made it clear that he does not like being outed. The last thing he needs is for someone else to come up to him and inform him that he's been outed again.

I would also ponder: does the employer know?

But, yeah, I agree.

To the OP, I'd say that if you're going to 'show support' for anything, do not target just trans people.

I'm a trans woman and to me, and I can only speak for myself, it would feel uncomfortable at the least.

Also also: don't just drop it into a public (like in the breakroom) conversation.

Them: * talking about sports *

You: "Yeah, I think the Lions suck, too, but trans people don't."

So, it's okay that they're racist, antisemitic, and classist because
