I hate you Ozempic craze I hate you 'heroin chic' I hate you weight loss ads on public radio I hate Burn Fat Fast ads every thirty seconds I hate you I hate you I hate you

[teaboot]

I grew up before the term 'thigh gap' was invented I grew up before 'hip dip' was invented I was born before 'muffin top' was a thing before 'clean girl look' was a thing before 'glass skin' was a thing before razoring off peach fuzz was a thing and I'm so so so fucking tired of us inventing new concepts purely for the purpose of convincing people to hate their own bodies enough to buy products

when you're doing the laundry and get to the part where you have to spray things with stain remover and you remember this pair of pants definitely has salsa on it somewhere but you just can't seem to locate the exact spot at a glance, so you sort of drape them over your legs and enter your Mind Palace to re-enact the crime. feeling the murder weapon (chip) at your fingertips, tracing the trail of blood (salsa) spatter back to the last person you'd expect...the killer was You all along. and the stain is on your crotch

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.

hikes are very good yes but a deluxe hike is when you are accompanied by a freak with niche nature knowledge. they’re like omg stop there’s a horned valerian varmint beetle here and then you both get to crouch down and look at a bug like :)

imagine if warehouse software was good instead of bad.........

[shieldfoss]

good software? in this economy?

[gender-trash]

do you think it's ever been possible for a piece of software -- an application, if you will -- to talk to another piece of software over some sort of, idk, standardized interface? maybe you could call it an "application programming interface"? and you could publish a spec for it and everything? just a little thought i had. maybe we could try it out in warehouse world idk :)

GAME CHANGER 8.05 — “Count the Rice”

[ndnbutch]

sometimes i talk about how awful it was to feel trapped by my daily makeup routine and how i couldn’t leave the house without putting on a full face and it played a major role in the misery of my high school experience because i had to spend so much extra time getting ready in the mornings and that followed me into my early 20s as well and it was hell and it was so incredibly liberating to go through the slow and uncomfortable but ultimately essential process of getting my bare face back and having makeup be an optional accessory instead of a mandatory uniform. and the response always tends to be ah yes of course, because of your trans and your masculine. and it’s like aha so close! actually! I think if I ended up being a feminine cis woman I also still would not deserve even a second of that shit! I think trans women and nonbinary people and every human alive should have the option to leave the house without a single cosmetic product ever touching their face! but thanks for playing!

[ndnbutch]

and when I say people should have the option obviously I do not mean “yeah you can but everyone’s gonna treat you like you’re frumpy and weird.” I also kinda don’t even mean “you’re beautiful even without makeup!!” because like. well of course i think many people are. some of the most beautiful faces i have ever seen in my life have had not a drop of makeup on them. and that’s awesome or whatever. but it’s also kind of irrelevant to the overall point I’m actually making. really what im saying is it shouldn’t fucking matter if you are beautiful or even pleasant to look at at all! you should be able to just be, all the time no matter what. everyone around you should just treat you like a person who is worthy of respect and fair treatment regardless of what you look like. I am of course keenly aware that that is not presently actually how things work much of the time. but that end goal is what my stance on makeup is informed by. you should never ever ever fucking need it to be treated with decency.

Nova's tips for beating the heatwave:

1. Check that you have good access to shade trees, a shelter custom made to fit you and all your friends, and plenty of good airflow

2. Find the hottest, sunniest, and least windy part of you pasture and lay down

3. Make sure you look as much as possible like you have died of heatstroke

4. Get your friends in on it

It never feels good when you need to call emergency maintenance, especially when the issue feels so foolish.

[asexualcorvidae]

Never had issues with maintenance in 10 years, but they ruled a literal fire hazard non-emergency and didn’t even TELL me, so I waited for 2 hours before calling back to find out. I am Not Happy.
