something has gone deeply wrong when "focusing pragmatically on issues you can influence and working to make life better for yourself and your community" is considered an unserious distraction while "endlessly exposing yourself to media about distressing situations you can't control" is considered political engagement
This was the wildest fucking shit to read in class i was trying do hard not to make expressions
This right here is it’s own fucking novel that you can wrap up in aluminum foil, tape it to the underside of a hood of a car, and sell it for 10k. Holy shit this was a ride!
i don't care if monday's bleak
tuesday matches wednesday's freak
thursday mispronouncing steak
it's friday, i'm in love
I'm really tired of people criticizing Star Wars for its simple approach to good and evil, because that ignores the point.
Star Wars is not about morally complex situations where it's hard to tell who the villains are.
Star Wars is about how easy it is to become one of the villains.

⁃ Class slowly grows in size
⁃ mother-in-sin leaves town for a month
-i stop going because no body double no workout

-class is empty as fuck. Just us and three old ladies and an old man.

-I realize that not only does he not recognize me from the class, he thinks I'm a man.

Gah, me too
happy ten years to this...remember feeling really desperate and locked in in this scene hahahahha
Kash Patel as Fbi Director would destroy faith in the FBI. Combined with Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, the United States justice system would become a compete joke.
Patel: “We will find the conspirators in government and the media. Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media.”
hey man. nice regional dialect. mind if i apply some baseless assumptions about your personhood to it? i was also gonna prescribe morality to it as well. if that’s cool with you
Starting to think that Amaury Guichon is in some sort of Scheherazade situation where he needs to create a new elaborate chocolate illusion desert every night to prevent some evil king from murdering him
The indoctrination never stops.
Conservatives need a minority target to keep their followers focused/unified on hate. As the followers obsess on hate, their lives/emotions are much easier to manipulate.
Conservatives always vow to restore the country to some distant past that never existed.
It's an endless loop of failure.
Researchers have analyzed mummified remains pulled from Siberia’s permafrost in 2020 and determined they belong to a 3-week-old saber-toothed kitten that died at least 35,000 years ago.
Even built in "verbatim" features in search engines dont do shit anymore. I want a button where if there are few results for the phrase I searched it shows me exactly what there is and if there are no results it shows me nothing and if it dares to suggest anything else or display a sponsored link or nearest match garbage it triggers a torture chip implanted in the spine of every google executive. I dont mean this would be a google feature i mean the google execs in particular get tortured no matter which search engine I was using.
I’m far less interested in fiction where it’s like “This power/ability/prophecy is gender specific but trans inclusive” and for more interested in fiction that just… doesn’t do that
Stuff that’s like “Only girls can use moon magic but that includes trans women :)“ is still stupid and honestly a really reductive view of gender. Now if you wanna write some shit like “It’s believed that only girls can use moon magic but surprise it’s just surpressed/ignored in men because of gendered norms” like have at it. If you’re writing a fictional society you don’t have to stray away from fictionalized gender norms as well, but don’t right some shit where gender is baked into the laws of nature. Gender isn’t a force of nature, it’s a societal tool, and understanding that in real life means understanding that in fiction as well.
announcing my fantasy setting where you can only cast magic if you have fat tits, very explicitly including men
This is an updated version of my recent post about safe states. If you are trans and a minor, or are a parent of a trans minor, here is some information you may want to have if you are considering moving from an unsafe state. Please spread this around if you can!
Maps created by Erin Reed at https://www.erininthemorning.com/
The following is general information about states marked “safest states with strong protections”. All states listed have expanded medicaid, which means even if you don't yet have a job in your target state you and your family will still have health coverage (call Job and Family Services in the area you are going to get set up). I always recommend getting a 90 day supply of all medications, including gender-affirming medications, plus an emergency PAPER prescription for all medications before making any move. That way, if you can't get in to see a clinician quickly, you will not run out of medications.
Added to this list is the Gender Identity Policy Tally (how many categories of protection policy a state covers), the number of WPATH pediatric Gender-Affirming Care providers, and whether the state has free online education available, which may be an easier transition for students who may have to switch schools midyear or move around several times prior to living in a permanent location.

*On this scale, 100% is the average COL across the USA. Numbers above 100% mean the state is more expensive than average. Numbers below 100% mean the state is less expensive to live in than average. Pennsylvania, Utah, and Nevada are the states closest to average. Hawaii, at 179% is the most expensive state. Mississippi, at 85.3% is the least expensive state to live in.
**The Gender Identity Policy Tally is a tally by the Movement Advancement Project of 26 different areas in which there can be policy protecting trans and gender nonconforming individuals. The score is a count of how many of these pieces of policy are present in a state.
As someone who's had to bake gluten free for several years, watching ppl do shit like this with regular bread feels like literal space age magic to me. Gluten free dough is a consumptive Victorian child who must be coddled and wrapped in silk and prayed over night and day if he stands half a chance of making it to adulthood as anything but a slab of featureless rice mush, and regular bread bakers are out here making whole ass sculptures and quilts and shit. Screw riches and eternal youth, baby, if the devil was real i'd sell my soul in a heartbeat just to be able to rip apart one of these loaves like a feral hog. If you're intestinally capable of digesting gluten I need you to do something for me right now and close your eyes and spend a moment treasuring this fact. and then go and deep-throat a baguette in my honor
