He’s a little older than me, and his transition (especially since he was so public performing womanhood for so long) hit so close to home for me as I began mine. I’m really excited to read his book and consider him something of a personal hero; for the most part I don’t really care about queer narratives much, but this I do.

I personally have no opposition to defederating with known bad actors. I have no desire to see or even be associated with content that’s morally or legally against the grain.

Spez is a greedy little pig boy with more than enough money to never lift a finger again; perfectly shameless.

In all seriousness: get screened for ADHD and autism.

So, so, so glad I deleted my entire account. This is so unethical.

Just yank

My father is accepting, but in a very stoic “never mention it ever again” sort of way. Short (but heartfelt) written notes in cards at holidays and 2-3 minute calls on the weekend tell me he loves me, but our relationship became noticeably more strained after I came out and changed my name.

Really putting evil front and center this time, huh.

It’s nice when it doesn’t feel like shoring into a void, right?

I can’t imagine the horror of dying or losing a loved one this way. May all their memories be blessings for their families.

I think it comes down to how you define “superpower.” If were just talking mutations, I think superspeed and super-strength would be the most plausible.

Think of someone line Michael Phelps. His physical attributes make him - compared to most others - inhumanly fast and strong due to his wingspan and body structure. I wouldn’t quite call it a superpower, but I think deviations in size and body comp could lead to abilities deemed “super.”

I would do anything to live in Europe

I love this song

I’ll co-sign that. They can have their place and we’ll have ours.

Fuck this loser. Good on his neighbors.

In the corp world as well, and I can say with a lot of certainty that spez knew and likely hoped this would be leaked publicly. It was written both with the intention of assuaging current staff and angling their optics for the watching public. My company had a minor recent PR issue and our CEO drafted and sent something very similar.

The official Reddit really is so bad. Using Mlem on iOS for now, but I would die for an Apollo-for-Lemmy client. (Christian, plz)

I work on a corporate team and often companies will allow team members to wear anything to work as long as it’s branded. This, employees have an incentive to spend that money to customize their look at work, if that’s important to them. It is to some people.

My company has a code that brings all items down to cost, and I have bought some uniform items that way to mix up what I wear at work.

The company that I work for is a small business with a great local reputation; wearing my company’s logo is a positive for me. Can’t say that would be the case if I worked for Reddit.

If my company referred to us as anything but “team members” I’d die on the spot.

Deleted my account, removed Apollo, starting to feel at home on Lemmy. No way I’m going back.
