@ryanhoulihan of course threads starts showing symptoms of right-wing stupidity.
also what's KOSA?

@ryanhoulihan so basically youtube except it's by the government and it's for all of the internet.
free country, but not free internet. may as well make internet world a dictatorship.
@ryanhoulihan eh, personally i knew this was going to happen. i don't except anything else. as long as the fediverse is unaffected, then we should be okay.
@ryanhoulihan I hope you're right. We need something.
@ryanhoulihan Yeah, I getcha. I've been around since the year of the force, and I’m frightened for my family's safety going forward. I'm of Jewish descent, despite not looking like it or ever practicing. I have never seen more anger at anyone even remotely connected with the Jewish faith more than I have in the last decade.
So, if this is what I'm seeing, what are those in even more marginalized groups facing? Far worse, I see.
We might need our own Battle of Cable Street in the U.S.
@ryanhoulihan word. We need to grow hearth & fire; cultural sanctuary for tired poor huddled youth seeking space to celebrate joy—especially where it's hard won among lives held at arms' length from opportunity.
We hit an inflection point in 2020 as we all lifted up and began to float through a cultural shakedown we see better in the rearview through pangs that bend our lives to paint around what’s gone. fediverse good but we all need to concretize at our respective scalably-sane local level.
@ryanhoulihan WT actual F
@ryanhoulihan
You shouldn't rely onThreads or any other Platform, quit it for good and do your own Thing. 😉
@ryanhoulihan Coming out at 12 must have been terrifying. You have great courage. I’m glad you’re here to share your story
@ryanhoulihan the gen xer in me wanted post a joke because you didn’t have through and traumatized by 80s fashion trends, but I relate to every experience you named (except coming out at 12) and the truth is that life does suck at this point in history. It is hard and scary
I’ve been struggling a lot lately with PTSD related to being stabbed last year.
And I’m not sure I see life getting any better or easier in the foreseeable future.
Thanks for honesty and know you’re not alone.
@ryanhoulihan and as far as the 80s fashion, I saw someone rocking a mullet yesterday and that in itself scared me.
@ryanhoulihan
Absolutely. I’ve heard about Navratilova. She’s lesbian, but she’s also a TERF. It’s certainly disappointing, but unfortunately there are lots of examples of people all too eager to shut the door behind them.
@ryanhoulihan Martina Navratilova was still alive? Who knew? (Who cares?)
@ryanhoulihan < think we all suffer a lack of ability to understand the suffering of others, even when it parallels our own. We can at best, sympathize. At worst, we tend to deny the existence of others' pain.
Or, it could be she lives a life of privilege.
@ryanhoulihan Entirely. Also, while we're being showbiz and exposing who we really are by our actions, her relationship with her wife on RH made her seem like quite the bully and generally a pretty cold person. We should start calling her the Margaret Court of Tennis Lesbians or some such, just to accentuate the bigoted legacy of hate she's attached herself to....
*But, also, being rich and/or famous is just bad for your basic humanity. We really need to protect people from the mental health dangers of being very wealthy by taxing the fuck out of them.
@ryanhoulihan También ataca a Daniel Radcliffe por defender a personas trans. No me gusta que las personas de dentro del colectivo se ataquen entre sí, ya hay bastantes ataques desde fuera.
@ryanhoulihan cuando vas a denunciar siempre te hacen la pregunta: ¿seguro que no es por tu identidad de género?
@ryanhoulihan of course she is....
🙄
@ryanhoulihan of course.
I feel you. I feel that.
@ryanhoulihan I posted that image 4 years a go and today Facebook banned my account for "child sexual exploitation". You are correct, we cannot move forward as long as the wealthy use religious extremest to keep power solely to ensure their agenda.
