the evolution of youtube lps makes me pretty sad. you used to watch moment to moment gameplay on the screen. you'd do everything together as a creator and audience, so there was a lot of mutual learning, goals, and advice. but now people will condense 200 hours of work into a single 30 minute blindingly fast summation of some dazzlingly over the top idea they had with editing that makes my teeth hurt. I miss sitting around watching "caving episodes" of hermitcraft or q&a building a farm together, farming and experimenting for fun... now it's always gotta be bigger and better and retention means doing almost every scrap of work off camera. it feels so detached and impersonal now. I just want to feel included yk

For this he thanked them, but he had not a great deal to thank them for. In the nature of things they treated him with less consideration than he treated them.

De Los Santos is still pitching!!! He gave up 6 runs last inning, and Boone has chosen to let him pitch the 8th inning. Are you kidding me? I think this proves my suspicion that Aaron Boone is betting against the Yankees. I hope that he's winning a lot of money because he'll need the money because I don't think that he'll still be our manager next year. I hope that he is not. He's a very, very bad manager, and he's destroying my team. If Boone stays, I bet Soto leaves. This is absurd. De Los Santos just gave up another run. And he's still pitching. Really? Wow. Boone is an idiot 🙄 I guess it's time for another strongly worded email to the Yankees home office. I'm tired of writing them 😊

Effectively Wild Episode 2277: The Most Demoralizing Offseasons

Ben Lindbergh and Meg Rowley banter about the overwhelming listener response to their previous conversation about cover models for baseball video games, and Ben issues some “Bo Nos” in support of his previous Royals reporting. Then (18:19) they talk about the Rays signing Ha-Seong Kim, Roki Sasaki “prospect” rankings, a recent leaguewide run on relievers, trade-based brother breakups, Hal…

If I see one more naive white queer speaking over actual Chinese queers people and proclaiming xiaohongshu/rednote or even China in general is somehow a fucking wonderland incapable of violent bigotry I’m gonna explode

1) a lot of the queer related tags have suddenly become usable again after the great migration

2) the #le tag for lesbians literally comes from the #lesbian and #les tags being banned so to act

3) the welcome you’re receiving by chinese people isn’t what actual Chinese queers have experienced (we experience a bombardment of loud angry homophobes/transphobes every single fucking day) and every single Chinese queer I know has been ranting about this for days. Unfortunately a lot of people are hypocrites who are only nice to the guests in the house

4) not only is this rhetoric of don’t ask don’t tell being the main consensus in China FALSE (I don’t even want to get into the media’s suppression of hate crimes and how many queer activism accounts are being banned left and right), passive queerphobia is still FUCKING QUEERPHOBIA…

The audacity to come into OUR HOUSE and speak over us after 3 days of being pampered on this app just for being western is vile and so fucking demoralising because we’ve been yelling about our condition for so long and you guys would rather not miss out on social media brainrot than to actually apply some nuance for once… you guys wanted to distance from the sinophobic propaganda take of China being unequivocally evil so bad that you’ve swung to the other end

#mwait.. what?!!?!

so you're saying the Christians are also Jewish?! Because the Torah is actually the Old Testament, the first part of the Bible?!?!

Friendly reminder that if you talk about how representation is important and how there's not enough diverse media, I implore you to seek out the media that already exists. And if you live in an area with a public library, go to see if they're available at your public library. And then go check them out.

As a librarian, it is demoralizing to see how low the circulation statistics are on lgbt+ books and books by BIPOC authors. I include them in displays and readers advisory, but people still don't check them out as much. Libraries only have a finite amount of resources, including space. We don't get a book then keep it forever. If not enough people check it out, we have to get rid of it to make room for more books. And when James Patterson Book #69 gets checked out 30 times in one year and cool, subversive Sci fi novel with a Black trans woman main character has never been checked out once, the librarian (me) has to make a hard decision.

If you're looking for something tangible and easy to do this pride month, look for lgbt+ books (there are millions of lists online that you can find. It's easier than it's ever been to find diverse books) and check them out from your library.

No time to read? Look for a short story or poetry anthology and just read as much as you have time for. Or just check out a book cus it looks interesting and read as much as you can. We have movies too.

As cool as it would be for me to just keep the books I want and get rid of the ones I don't, I have to listen to the community on matters of collection development. And the community tells me what books they want by checking them out and leaving the ones they don't want on the shelf.

If you think this doesn't apply to you because you live in a progressive area and obviously the books are being checked out, you're wrong. I once worked in a community with a large lgbt population. Those books were not getting checked out. If you want to tell me you live in a conservative area and your library doesn't have any diverse books, you are legally obligated to check the catalog before replying to this post. I currently work in a conservative community and we have lgbt+ and bipoc books. And if you still cannot find any, you are legally obligated to see if your library has a collection request form that patrons can fill out before replying to this post.

I want to turn the game off, but i won't. Pitching is destroying my team again. We traded to get new pitchers who are just as bad as the old pitchers. Really? Great plan, not. The only good trade that we made was for Jazz Chisholm Jr.. De Los Santos has given up two runs and, for some reason, unbeknownst to me, is still pitching. Boone let Gil stay in when he shouldn't have, and now he's doing it with De Los Santos. It's not right. The rest of the team is doing their jobs well, but once again, pitching is giving away the game. The Chicago White Sox have lost 24 of their last 25 games, and they're beating us by 6. How is this happening? We're one of the best teams in the show, and they are the worst team in the show. WTF? Use some cash, man, Mr. Cashman and get us some pitchers, please 🙏🏼 De Los Santos just gave up a 3 run home run, and he's still pitching. That's 5 runs this inning. This is the largest lead that the White Sox have had all year. De Los Santos hasn't even gotten an out yet this inning, and Boone is keeping him in!! AAUUGGHH!! The White Sox are on pace to lose more games than anyone in baseball history, and they're beating us by 9. Un fucking believable!!! It's demoralizing. My poor team. Let's go Yankees!!!!! PLEASE 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 Apparently, Aaron Boone didn't use the clue that I sent him. Alas and alack.

Necesito más contenido de esos dos, amo los fan art de chara y asriel haciendo cosas estupidas en la universidad, me dan vida 🫶

here friend, I'll help you: when you realize the characterization isn't to your liking, go ahead and do me a favor -- scroll up to the top right of your screen and hit that big red X button. there, problem solved.

also don't bookmark it. I'm so freaking tired of having this conversation.

this is the only way i make sense of dusknoir's character in the main story, @softstarryblanket. he should be ashamed

[transcarcinization]

would any of the trans ppl on this website feel like going over to this person’s youtube channel and leaving a nice comment? he’s a feminine trans guy who’s shorts keep popping up for me and the comments are always full of the most insanely transphobic nonsense i’ve ever seen. I think the algorithm is only pushing him to assholes and any trans people are scared to comment against 90% of the other comments. enough nice comments might turn the tide around

i know i’ve seen a few of his tiktoks passed around here! he makes general fashion and blog content about being trans
