Getting married in 2 days!!

AAAAAAAAAAA

I’m excited and stressed at the same time. It’s been such a ride and the day hasn’t even happened yet. Idk if I’ll be happier during or when it’s finally done. Either way, definitely looking forward to both the wedding day and to decompressing afterwards

We love importing everything from the US, especially disinformation based fearmongering 🙏🙏

Makes me real sad because the bill passing would have meant it might not be a horrible journey for me to get my legal gender changed to nonbinary/X. Now I’m not expecting it to ever happen tbh.

Thanks Beehaw admins for continuing to have a vision for a better internet and for reminding me once again that there really are online communities that try to be and do good.

I don’t post or comment a lot on Beehaw specifically, because I often feel like I won’t have the energy or head space to write something that really contributes to the community. It’s a strange sort of impostor syndrome related idea where I feel like the quality of content on Beehaw should be so high that I might not reach it without really trying. After all, I want the community to be the best it can be(e).

That being said, I do read a lot of what’s going on here and I especially appreciate the frequent posters on the communities I subscribe to. Taking into account the issues with lemmy as illuminated by the Beehaw admins here, I feel some sense of urgency - I want to protect Beehaw, its content and its community of kind people from disappearing, or having its continuation be threatened, simply because it exists on lemmy.

I guess in the end I just want to say that I really appreciate that the admin team is taking steps to preserve the wonderful community they have built and cultivated. While I haven’t been that excited about Beehaw potentially moving to a different platform, you make a very good case for it and I’d honestly be happy to follow Beehaw wherever it goes :)

And there’s the problem right there: the US isn’t ruled by what most voters want. Really disheartening to see this, knowing that republicans will just get their way regardless of majority sentiments. I’m glad 32% of republican voters support human rights though, could be worse.

I was happily using Lite as well and them just announcing it’s discontinuing in a month feels really unfair. I don’t want the added functionality of youtube premium. I don’t want to pay €15 a month for the same thing I had before for half the money. Now I have to find an alternative, and I think for me it will also be ad blockers and piracy. I’ll miss casting youtube to my TV ad free though…

Talking to queer people about queer stuff irl: fun, forgiving, interesting, great learning experience for everyone

Talking to queer people about queer stuff online: lexical minefield, expect essays on how you have wrong assumptions, rarely get away unscathed

Actually one of the conclusions from both the Science and Nature articles were that they mostly fuel far right radicalisation, not so much polarisation (which implies both ends of the political spectrum). Which I guess means leftists are generally either more capable of spotting misinformation or less inclined to act on it.

Not to mention obviously this is only really seen in the firs to place by people who didn’t leave reddit, ergo they will vote for the community to reopen because they are still on reddit.

I honestly have never understood why people take the effort to write he/she instead of singular they? Like it’s 2 words instead of 1, why bother? Even in academic articles which typically have word count limits lol
