Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

one time i was on a road trip, cutting through an infrequently traveled part of Pennsylvania. judging by the roads, that is. anyway, i had to get gas and take a whiz, so i get off at this off-brand place that had a sign for a toilets.
i'm standing in this gross bathroom with that acrid stale urine stench, taking a much needed piss, when i realize the Sharpee writing in front of my face on the tile wall is a phone number followed by the line "call this number to get blown."
i had never heard of Tea or TeaOnHer until this article, but i feel like all of this is a lot more crass and disturbing than the anonymous scrawled phone number or name with disparaging statement on a bathroom wall ever was.
"[someone's name] SUX COX & DIX" seems almost quaint somehow compared to all this.
