"you don't need to go on hormones to be trans" is true but not an appropriate thing to say to someone who is seeking hormones. "asexuals can have sex too" is true but not an appropriate thing to say to an asexual who doesn't want to have sex. etc etc etc. idk why it's so hard for people to get their head around this one. read the room dude.

Just lost a few braincells reading an nyt article about gen z "treat culture" and I can't even fathom that this is a thing. We're living in a dystopian hellscape where someone spending $5 a week on a cookie is considered a wasteful brat because they should have just gone for a nice free walk instead and saved the $250 a year that roughly equals four days' rent. That's why these ungrateful kids can't buy a house, naturally.

I am ALL for free treats, like hiking or reading in the park. But at some point you can't budget your way out of poverty, and you will literally go mad if you deny yourself basic pleasures that are literally all around you. They even lamented that little treats could snowball into doing something absolutely unforgivable like learning how to play the guitar or buying concert tickets.

At what point do we just start saying out loud that living an enjoyable and fulfilling life is now only acceptable at a 100k+ salary, and if you're one of the millions of people unlucky enough not to be in that category you should just eat dirt and be grateful?

i understand schooling in the usa sucks but i do think there reaches a point where blaming your ignorance on your education system starts ringing a little hollow. like girl you know you don't have to stop learning new things the moment you graduate highschool right. you can look things up before you say them. your browser has a search bar. the internet is at your fingertips. please........

i hate it when you're heating something up in the microwave and it starts to go snap crackle pop so you take it out but it's still completely cold. shut up then??

its so fucked up that autism just makes it absolutely impossible to diagnose whats wrong and it doesnt even tell you there is something wrong!!

like whenever i cant concentrate on what needs to happen i do what i call 'fork protocol', where i take all possible forks and solve them. i dont know which forks i have tho, so ill just go on a mad dash to go to the toilet, eat something, drink something, put the lights out, put eardefenders on, put a sweater on, redo my shoelaces, go for a little walk, sit in the sun, close all windows and doors, put a figet toy in my hand, flap my hands, talk to people, etc.

maybe i should make a list in order of how often these actually turn out to be the fork. make it a little faster.

or sometimes ill turn a light off somewhere and suddenly realise that oh yeah right lights are also evil actually. then ill spend the next 5 hours in what i call 'lockdown' or 'autism party', where ill turn off all lights except one candle and all sounds and just exist for a couple of hours. super relaxing. i dont even realise im not actually relaxed untill ive done that again.

currently trying to solve that problem by making it a regular scheduled occurance. so i now have a monthly item called 'autism party'.

I am gently taking your hands and begging you, BEGGING YOU, to understand that humans are not inherently harmful to the planet. We are animals who are part of the ecosystem. We belong here. This is our home. We belong here. You belong here. Yes, you belong here.

You know when Terry Pratchett said 'It doesn't stop being magic just because you know how it works'? Yeah, he meant this.

when you’ve honed the fine art of perfectly-timed reblogging of something aimed at one specific mutual and they immediately like it

[voidambassador]

Tags from @krawdad because i thought this was very cool from a puppeteering perspective

[pathos-logical]

[ID: Image one is a Sesame Street gif of Big Bird throwing a frisbee to Cookie Monster, who promptly takes a bite of it. Image two is a set of tags that read: “#i want to appreciate how wacky a stunt tossing a frizbee to cookie monster is from a practical standpoint #guy inside the bird cannot see out of it. he gets a feed of what the camera sees. #he actually catches the thing the bird actually threw

#and the only reason i can tell they didnt fake it is because cookie monster doesn’t look at the frizbee when he catches it #because the puppeteer was focused on catching the dang thing at all #how many takes must this have taken to pull off #usually you achieve that with a cut #it’s so much easier to just cut to the other character catching a prop #i appreciate the effort #and i want others to notice it #it is also a left handed catch #on a right handed performer #someone else is doing the right hand.” End ID]

[tinygryphon]

It’s also a left-handed throw because the puppeteer’s right hand controls Big Bird’s mouth

this is a really cool puppet stunt o-o

[michaelblume]

And again they didn’t even have to do this, the audience absolutely would have accepted a shot of big bird throwing followed by a shot of cookie catching, but they did it anyway, for love of the game

Tumblr has forever affected how I refer to my food. Macking cheese in the michael wave. My dinnar #mydinnar. Grilling absolute cheese. It goes on

quick reminder that you're actually not obliged to feel any empathy for someone who would have described your death as 'necessary' if the exact same thing had happened to you

[maykitz]

i hope they never stop using floppy disk icons to indicate saving your file. doesn't matter how obsolete they are it's like honouring someone with a portrait on your currency
