  • I really read this as inspirational and cool once upon a time. Part of me still does. There’s a lot of good we’ve done on social media that make my trans friends and family more safe in who they are, broadly speaking…

    But there’s also a whole lotta bad as well, and it’s been increasingly less OUR internet as the tech companies just monopolize and censor and steal data.

    I’m not so sure I can manage to find this time mag cover as inspirational anymore.








  • I think there’s a difference between “these are a huge waste of time, and always has been. Reddit slop!”

    And

    “Man, these comics aren’t for me. The punchline never lands, or the art style is a bit strange and takes me out of it”, etc.

    The first kind of negativity contributes very little to any sort of discussion other than to be inflammatory. The second one actually invites the discussion you mention in the comment I’m replying to.

    'least… that’s how I see it.
