I sent the historian
an article documenting
a respiratory disease outbreak
at the concentration camp
they’ve built in Florida,
and the historian replied
that in the 20th century
fascism arrived
after a pandemic,
but in the 21st century
fascism arrived
as a pandemic continued.

Lament, lament, for the poor embedded developer at Lovense who has had their legitimate business title co-opted by overambitious AI bros and media lick-spittles.

Unknown Senior Vibe Coder, we salute you.

We, the operators of this social media account, sometimes face dilemmas about what we want to post. For example: "Are you a Hubber and want to become a Berger? We're looking forward to you!"

Love it or hate it, one thing is certain: It doesn't really matter, because others are doing our marketing today. 🙃

Being #trans is just like #OpenStreetMap: there's always some government insisting they know the official version.

Please boost: Just to piss off Don Brash and pay him back for using an image of a Māori woman without her #consent on his anti-Māori-wards billboards please share this widely. #nzpol

SCAM ALERT

An elderly adult may go up to you and pinch your nose without your consent then claim to have stolen your nose

Do not attempt to pay them to reacquire your nose

They do not have your nose

Their supposed proof is just their thumb in between two of their fingers

Do not engage them
You still have possession of your nose

"Two sexes," they say. "Any others are unnatural"

MUSHROOMS: but we have 17,000 sexes.

"The female of the species," they proclaim, "is the one that carries the fetus to term. Males can't get pregnant. It's unnatural."

SEAHORSES: but our males do

"If you are born with a vaginal canal, you're a girl," they scream. "If you weren't, you aren't. End of story."

TURTLES: but our males are. and they can even breathe through them.

"Biological sex can't be changed," they shriek, self-righteously."That's just science".

CLOWNFISH: but we do it all the time

"You can pretend to be a gender you weren't born as, they gasp, assuring themselves that surely this time they will emerge victorious, "animals can't just up and change their chromosomes. That's common sense."

BUTTERFLIES AND MOTHS: but we can. explosive chromosomal macroevolution is literally a part of our lifecycle.

"But chromosomes determine biologi-"

BEARDED DRAGONS: ours are determined by the weather

"But the Bible says male and female he made th-"

BLUEHEADED WRASSE: all of us are born female

"But you can't just wake up one day and deci-"

GROUPER (MALE): we literally do.

"But gender isn't flui-"

GROUPER (MALE): sometimes we change back

"But you can't just pick what gender you're going to be on any given day!" They shriek, "It doesn't work that way!!"

GROUPER (FEMALE): ahem
