I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like "what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress" right ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2768 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: eye-contact │ └──────────────────────┘ some cuties I found in my camera roll (just kidding these are AI generated could ya tell??)

I bet a lot of queer people can relate... (the answer to "why" is of course, almost always trauma) ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2770 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: re: politics-fascism-sexual-assault-mentioned │ └───────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ now that the pain is healed all I want to do is spend time with him. I learned SO MUCH from him and then I called him a saboteur T.T (babe you're still healing) I forgave him as he was doing it but forgiveness doesn't imply that you're gonna stick around. I feel bad for running through. if a person tells you what to do and then hurts you, you should probably do the opposite right? that's just pavlovian - resist pain, avoid pain, remove pain. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2771 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: disordered-eating │ └───────────────────────┘ "stop starving yourself" to the tune of "stop hitting yourself" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/2772 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned-metaphorical-eye-contact │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ say it with me now: Portlandia is not Portland and what's shown online to scare you is not Portland it's somehow more interesting than that, and also more expensive. because of course it is. keep portland weird yeah duh I'm weird as fuck but you wouldn't know it by looking at me yes you would, my dear okay well you wouldn't know how in particular I'm weird unless you talk to me nobody knows you. who are you even talking to heh good question glasses flash mostly people on the train or whatever question: when did all the "weirdos" become homeless people? what kind of world do we live in where - wait don't answer that. better question: how can we make a better world where people can be weird and not starve under the stars? (by lots and lots of government investment? no thank you, sounds like something that can be taken away.) (by redesigning society from the ground up? no way sounds too difficult and optimistic.)

They're kind, thoughtful, hardworking, sharp, precise, value driven, and will always help their allies when they finish their work (to a fast and high-quality degree). Shame they can't last too long before the mask starts to slip, at which point I become essentially unemployable. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┴───────────┘ |
