if i’ve spent longer than 30 seconds not thinking about captain cadence chase i will die
- two big-ish threads back-to-back? i guess it’s one of those days…
- reflecting on the fact that although it wasn’t intentional, my moving from twitter to bluesky fit perfectly with my subconscious understanding of the fact that at a certain point you reach a number of followers on a platform that makes your enjoyment of it decline significantly
- that number being around 2k+ from my personal experience: this is about the point where you go from being an account that has enough followers where the majority of your posts get interacted with consistently (good!) to “uh oh, do i have ‘big name account’ status now?”
- once you reach “big name account” status there are certainly perks that come with it, but there are many more difficulties that require you to start doing more: muting threads, blocking trolls, worrying about a post going viral and inevitably getting a storm of “SO YOU HATE WAFFLES!?” reactions
-
View full threadpersonally i don’t feel i need the fame or fortune (which is a privilege to be able to say! - a lot of people need social media to make a living, etc) but i do admit i like the idea of having influence, something that can still draw me into the cult of wanting to gain followers if i’m not careful
- also hate it in a very “kids these days” way, like it’s not at all comparable to say glimmadora vs catradora was spop’s makorra vs korrasami, like i’m very glad for the kiddos whose only “ship war” experience was thru that, but that was like barely a ship war and it was two sapphic ships
- you know what i would’ve done to have a sapphic vs sapphic “ship war” during lok? do you not understand how much less painful that would’ve made the entire ordeal? do you realize we were literally afraid we had NO chance simply because our ship wasn’t str8? it wasn’t a normal ship war
- it was queer fans hoping that something unprecedented could actually be done, that we could get a canon lgbt+ ship with the lead character of a tv-y7 animated show. “popping the biggest bottles” meme is iconic because those of us that were there at the time were actually afraid op would be right

- Reposted by dee 🌈 catra gender ✨The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do
- Reposted by dee 🌈 catra gender ✨Ending billionaireism isn't just socially and economically necessary to maintain human civilization, it's a humanitarian measure for the billionaires themselves. They're clearly very sick and we can help them

Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there. I need you to listen to these people. STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.

- Reposted by dee 🌈 catra gender ✨ICE is running a “conveyor belt” of illegally detained Minnesota families. Agents are arresting entire families with legal status and immediately shipping them off to Texas to deny them legal representation and avoid the federal courts in Minnesota. The cruelty is endless.
- remember how many cool things they did back in the day to promote spop while it was airing? let’s encourage dreamworks to remember that and use that power to make a full series dvd/blu-ray happen
- unless it was netflix doing all the cool promotional stuff…but i think it was always a joint effort between them and dreamworks

- for those who don’t know…bluesky literally why would you make it work like that??
- Reposted by dee 🌈 catra gender ✨Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

- Reposted by dee 🌈 catra gender ✨I keep seeing the “reminder don’t use Adobe here are the alternatives” image going around and folks, the problem is not just that Adobe sucks, the problem is they’re blocking legal access to decades of art files utilized by individuals and entire teams
- why does it never occur to people in tech that customers like their products the way they are and that’s why they’ve used them for years and paid money for them all this time…it’s not just “let’s reinvent the wheel for no reason” stupid, it’s “let’s toss the wheel in the trash cause it’s ‘stale’”?!?
- news flash: it’s not a piece of food. it doesn’t get “stale” - it’s a tool people have been using and want to continue to use because it works just fine the way it is. fuck off with your “stale” wheels

- “you cannot control magic…magic simply IS” me at 2am, having just finished rewatching “hero” for probably the last time on netflix, tears streaming down my face: “the magic is queer culture…the magic is fucking queer culture”
- the magic is gay people, trans people, our love for each other and ourselves. the magic is nature, the magic is us and our world, the magic is our art: the magic can never be taken away

- well the reason is their contract with dreamworks is up this expressly sucks, and I hate it, BUT the potential upside is: - dreamworks now has the ability to do the right thing and release the second half of the series elsewhere (physical or digital) and we should be aggressively pushing for this
- Reminder: you have less than a month to watch "She-ra and the Princesses of Power" on Netflix before they remove it forever on Feb 20 for no god damn reason. Go enjoy 52 of the best half-hours of TV made in the past decade & get whatever joy, laughter, and hope you can from them while you still can.
- - now that everyone knows it’s leaving and is being vocally upset about it it should show dreamworks that there is still abundant interest in and love for this series that they could be capitalizing on (you hear that dreamworks higher-ups? MONEY. GET YOUR $$$ FROM THE GAYS TODAY!)
- which at the bare minimum should hopefully lead to a full series physical release on blu-ray and dvd with special features from the cast and crew 🙏 MANIFESTING 🙏
- but yes GO WATCH IT WHILE YOU CAN. and try not to cry whenever you see the “last day to watch on Netflix: February 20th” pop up in the corner (challenge level: impossible, I’m too gay for this)
