Fandom Was A Mistake

Image description: A screenshot of a tweet from Hazie Thompson @haziethompson posted on June 1, 2025 at 4:04 PM with 724 likes and 3 replies. Tweet reads "Have a safe & happy #PrideMonth" followed by a picture with white background and green headline "Pride Party Pack" above a hand holding a pale pink dental dam, two pink condoms wrapped in foil and a white N95 mask from 3M.

from an outside perspective this might seem like a nothingburger, but genuinely one of the scariest moments of my life was when I was in the peak undiagnosed autoimmune disease, but still trying to keep up my normal schedule. so I was walking back from an evening class at the University of Toronto, feeling my heart going BAM-BAM-BAM-BAM, and I realized I was so out of it that I'd overshot my house. like walked right past it. and so I turned around and walked back. and some time later I realized, I overshot it again. like I was walking back and forth in front of my house unable to find it. and eventually I did manage to get inside my house and fall down on the sofa, but it was a real moment of "oh, things have gotten really bad."

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

Never getting over Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat right after he uses it to downplay gun violence. Gotta be a top 3 assassination. Up there with Shinzo getting doohickey'd.

It's on some straight up Greek play shit. Man who uses his voice to justify violence and stir evil for years meets his end as that very violence tears out his throat. Poetic. Captured live from multiple angles. People stole his blood soaked merch to hock and his wife was giddy about sale numbers during his funeral.

I'm at a :.|:; for words.

It's mentioned multiple times in the book that "Stratt makes sure to stand at the front" for every major step taken for Project Hail Mary. It's easy to interpret that as an authority thing. But no!! She's the scapegoat. Shes on her own suicide mission!! Shes making sure that when humanity looks back for a culprit in its darkness moments, it's her that they see. Not the scientists. HER.

Nobody is having fun on that website. One of the nazis who posted my address had a group of even more insane nazis post his birth certificate a couple of days later. It’s like the Abyss Watchers on there, just stupid chuds executing each other over and over out of some ritualized algorithm-induced compulsion. But for some reason the Vice President gets mad and starts twitter arguments with people in his replies. And one time the Iranians shot a ballistic missile at a target in Israel because a guy with an anime profile picture told them to. A japanese guy used the auto translate to call me names for calling the new japanese PM “female hitler” and the japanese government made me take my post down because I just responded with an image of the thing they used to kill Shinzo Abe. Cyberstalking and harassment is openly encouraged by the moderators. It’s the world’s public forum in the most despicable and honest sense of the term.

This isn't even the weirdest part of this episode.

Holy crap that is so tiny!!!

can I make a confession that might get me in trouble
