PlayStation putting out a legal notice saying they’re removing 500+ movies from user accounts days before announcing they’re getting rid of physical discs for games is an interesting choice
I freaking swear. You're not allowed to own anything anymore beyond a DVD IF the publisher even decided to release to DVD. Streaming subscription services were the worst thing to happen before AI. I dread the day when DVDs are no longer made.

Part of the reason I'm so adamant about encouraging people to get comfortable with bugs, my own interests aside, is because we cannot have a bright, solarpunk future without them.
A green future is not a bugless future. It is, in fact, a fairly bugful future. If you care about ecological stability, then you need to start with bugs, because they're the most at risk with our current use of pesticides.
It's hard to express to people born after ~2005 or so how many insects there used to be. Even in cities. All the time. Everywhere. Swarms of gnats in the air during the summer. So many fireflies that it was disorienting. Couldn't drive even on an urban highway in some places during spring without apologizing every five seconds because a butterfly splatted on your windshield. Actually, just having to constantly clean your windshield from bugs in general.
Yeah, the mosquitoes sucked a lot. But there were plenty of other things too, including birds that ate the mosquitoes. Now the same birds don't come around because there isn't enough food to make it worthwhile. And there were toads out and about, all the time. In the middle of urban areas! Now I only see them close to natural parks. I'm only in my early 30s, and the decline I've witnessed in my lifetime is staggering.
A lot has contributed to this: urban sprawl creating habitat fragmentation, pollution in general, global warming creating climate change which shifts weather patterns away from what insects in the area are adapted to. But the absolute worst thing we've done (wrt insects) is pesticide use. We never needed to use pesticides in urban lawns (we never needed to have lawns in the first place). People are so afraid of insects that they would rather wage a forever-war with chemicals rather than cultivate a healthy ecosystem to more efficiently limit the populations they don't want.
And then cities started conducting aerial spraying for mosquitoes, which hastened the collapse of everything else. People will say "this pesticide doesn't target those other insects", but fail to understand that you can't just pull at one part of an ecological web and expect the rest of it to stay intact. Everything is interdependent. If we want to build a just future, we need to remember and honor reciprocity.
Reblogging for this super important note
And
I’m adding on these videos too, because tbh i think starting with cute content like this is a great way to begin to combat any phobias you might have rn
where's that native meme that's like "lol you worship the sun lmao" and they respond "ok. the sun is real"
hello i have this

LinkedIn is a hellscape on the best of days, but there is something so comically dystopian about AI generated posts about using AI, and all of the comments being AI generated. Like the authors are all afraid that their audience dare read something written by their own hand. It's just so stupid and unbelievable that you would 1) waste your time trying to farm engagement on LinkedIn in the first place, but 2) bother to prompt AI to write your engagement bait posts for quite literally no material gain.
It's like the emperor's new clothes out here. You can't be bothered to write up your own post about your Super Unique integration of Claude into your workflow, and everyone else can't be bothered to write their own comment on your post, but everyone is doing it anyway. So why the fuck is any of this happening, what are you getting from this? Who is holding a gun to your head and saying you need to farm engagement on the corniest, most souless fucking website on earth?

much has been said already about the supreme court case and trans rights but today i'm thinking extra hard about trans kids who have been sent into the psych system for any reason, who have to bear the lack of autonomy innate to it but the extra sting of being denied the right to your name and your gender in sex-segregated facilities, by transphobic staff, etc.
i'm thinking extra hard about how we've ended up where we are, with trans kids at the center of so much hatred, because children are not seen as people with interiority or an ability to narrate their own experiences. we've decided it's alright to lock children up for horrible diagnoses that psychs throw around like they're nothing, to strip their autonomy completely and force them through humiliation, invasions of privacy, and endless torment by "professionals" whose power over every waking moment of their lives has no end. these things cannot be separated.
i'm thinking today of every trans child in a wilderness camp, in a residential treatment facility, in psych wards and PHP/IOP programs, especially those whose transness has been tied to unwellness. fuck the psych industry and the troubled teen industry and transphobia forever
To all trans youth out there: I see you, I love you, I am proud of you being who you are in this extremely difficult time. I'm so sorry so many adults either want to attack you or have failed to protect you from those attacks.
You deserve a better world and we won't stop fighting until we make a better one.
And fuck the Supreme Court.
Last verse same as the first.
Fuck the Supreme Court.
Some of the best and least appreciated lord of the rings art is when the artist draws just really buff elves
Like this Celebrimbor by Angus McBride. Like yes you’re right the guy who forged the rings was ripped AND of course he did it shirtless how could I be so stupid not to realise
And this Morgoth and Fingolfin by Eric Velhagen. Of course theyre shredded I’ve been so blind but now my eyes are open
yeah, do it without a shirt!
Let's say I really wanted to reduce the number of children who die in car accidents. Car accidents are really bad, right? Nobody disagrees about that. And it would be much better for both the environment and the kids' health if they spent more time walking, or taking the bus. Perfectly reasonable. More cars off the road, safer roads, fewer kids getting hurt, healthier kids. A win-win!
Therefore, let's ban children from traveling by car and require all cars to have a scanner on the door that scans the government ID of everyone who gets in the car to make sure no kids are in there. After all, kids get hurt in car accidents all the time! We need to ban this right away!
my little brother tried to show me a "cool trick" where he entered my name and hometown into chatgpt and tried to get it to pull up my personal info like it did on all of his friends, then was absolutely shocked when it couldn't find anything on me
so. keep practicing basic internet safety, guys. it still works. don't put your personal info on social media, keep all your accounts on private, turn off ai scraping on every site that you can, enable all privacy features on social media apps. our info still can be protected, we have to keep fighting for control
I thought I could never care for anyone again, until I met you.
The Golden Girls, S2E5: “Isn't It Romantic”
#happy pride to this episode of a sitcom from the 1980s!!!!
“Teachers are often unaware of the gender distribution of talk in their classrooms. They usually consider that they give equal amounts of attention to girls and boys, and it is only when they make a tape recording that they realize that boys are dominating the interactions. Dale Spender, an Australian feminist who has been a strong advocate of female rights in this area, noted that teachers who tried to restore the balance by deliberately ‘favouring’ the girls were astounded to find that despite their efforts they continued to devote more time to the boys in their classrooms. Another study reported that a male science teacher who managed to create an atmosphere in which girls and boys contributed more equally to discussion felt that he was devoting 90 per cent of his attention to the girls. And so did his male pupils. They complained vociferously that the girls were getting too much talking time. In other public contexts, too, such as seminars and debates, when women and men are deliberately given an equal amount of the highly valued talking time, there is often a perception that they are getting more than their fair share. Dale Spender explains this as follows: “The talkativeness of women has been gauged in comparison not with men but with silence. Women have not been judged on the grounds of whether they talk more than men, but of whether they talk more than silent women.” In other words, if women talk at all, this may be perceived as ‘too much’ by men who expect them to provide a silent, decorative background in many social contexts.”
