took one (1) day off and it didn’t fix my burnout. mods????

a shrine to technology

hey i am donating a bunch of kraken cameos to this if you want one. they're $30. www.32auctions.com/organization...

"Posting isn't activism" should go both in the direction that you need to do activism in real life, and in the direction that posting about that activism is a bad idea

i am doing $30 random glass guys with $10 going to @distributeaid.org for harm reduction toolkits. offer available through friday so i can ship them out saturday and send over the chunk of cash they make to distribute aid then. nora.jewelry/products/mys...

Me opening the news every fucking morning

so many people warned about exactly this for years and major papers preferred to publish scare pieces about trans girls playing sports

I will never stop being mad about how the media has treated the anti-trans movement as a group of ordinary people with legitimate concerns rather than the obvious frothing bigots they are.

Casual reminder that no one needs to know about cool stuff you might be doing or planning on doing, and that talking about "in minecraft" or "allegedly" while cute does not actually help with security, and that shutting the fuck up is recommended by 100% of lawyers who do not want you to go to jail.

KOKO THE GORILLA: Koko birkin bag. Practical Koko possession bag RESEARCHER: No, Koko. You can’t have a Birkin bag. KOKO: Good Birkin good Koko give beautiful Koko deserve gorilla RESEARCHER: Koko, we simply can’t afford a Birkin bag. It is an unjustifiable expense. KOKO: jealousy professor

ChatGPT is down? Huh. Crazy how that doesn't affect my life in literally any way at all

"heil tesla" projected onto a factory in berlin, germany by a left wing activist group along with the word #boycott

the real threat to free speech in america is that criticizing powerful interests, from israel to elon musk, will cost you your livelihood

Ichiro is now a hall of famer but he was also the funniest man in human history

White women are sharing clips from RuPaul’s MasterClass on how to face the darkness and all I can think of is this pandemic tweet from @jpbrammer.bsky.social:

TO MY CIS COMRADES: IT IS TIME TO STAND WITH YOUR TRANS SIBLINGS. TO MY TRANS SIBLINGS: I LOVE YOU.

i think someone should uhhh (trying hard to remember the rules on this site) take elon musk to luigi’s mansion

What’s up Castration Nation it’s 97.5 FM Eunuch Radio, live from the Imperial Palace! We’re bringing you nonstop beats, so stop scheming and start groovin!

this has always been my favorite picture set of david lynch

You’ll probably see this screenshot floating around a lot but it really was wonderful to see Lynch put a scene in Twin Peaks: The Return where he has his character literally stare at the camera and say that you should either support trans people or die. I needed to hear that in 2017

I'm hearing people talk about making "safe author" lists/starter packs and hahahahaha holy shit that's a terrible idea. Just start drafting your "We had no idea" post now, because you're going to need it.

you absolutely should read the classics because they've endured through history for a reason and you ought to know how people who hadn't had their brains rotted by smart phones and internet thought and loved and worked. It will make you more interesting as a writer.

please stop suggesting I solve my problem by changing my behavior. I do not want to do that

The Democrats who are pretending like DOGE could ever be a legitimate exercise in government reform are playing a mug's game. This is a smash and grab, nothing more or less.

🎶 I'm a bitch 🎶 I'm a lover 🎶 Just those two things and no other

When someone says they think sex scenes in movies are unnecessary because people can just look at porn if they want to see sex, it suggests some very deep-seated problems with how that person views sex and its role in life

Sorry to steal from Tumblr but this is so accurate it actually made me cry. The "paralysis of will" described here is the most painful symptom of my ADHD.

My cute way of asking for a snack

I want to push back on this, at least with some context: the American anti-vaccine movement started with John Birch fascism, and was explicitly antisemitic. The *modern American* anti-vaccine movement, particularly regarding autism, was a product of liberalism, with some help from Mike Addams.

Trap isn’t a perfect movie, but it is a movie that’s so engaging that i didn’t touch my phone for the full runtime when i watched it for the second time recently with friends, and i think that’s an accomplishment in and of itself

that's not my understanding of it

i am fine being she/her-ed and even ma’am-ed by strangers, but this guy would not stop calling me “young lady” today and i just… for several reasons, no

people don't know this, but 'Something In The Way' is actually about Kurt's inability to navigate around Seattle and thus getting stuck under a bridge, definitely not a metaphor for chronic depression and the manner in which society blocks queer people from happiness and welfare.

Instead of going down a (long) list of how these portrayals are poorly done, I can offer some writing advice. Speaking as someone who sees a lot of poor representation, as both a trans woman and a woman of color from an oft-exoticized culture, I think I can offer some insight. So. Stereotypes.

“can u multitask..?” yeah. i’m actually losing my mind and chilling at the same time

GERALT: Hhh. Seven Monster cans. Empty. And a diet Dr Pepper. If you're lucky, you've got a pack of small gamers. VILLAGE HEADSMAN: And...and if we're not lucky? GERALT: One really big one.
