Tags are there so you can filter them! I post about a bunch of stuff and if you don't want to see it I think you should block it rather than put up with it, and especially not put up with it thinking I will be offended (I am not). **NSFW transformers stuff does end up here on occasion, it's tagged as #valveplug**

nobuddy feels like they have a sharp attention span these days, right? and we all just click “agree on terms of service” because its hard to love yourself sometimes, well

enter Terms of Service, Didn’t Read: a website and a browser addon that streamlines the terms of service of many popular web services to be read by the tech sunday drivers.

It’s graded from A (great) to E (awful) and if you have the addon you have access to the info about the website on your bar

you have so much paper

it’s okay to function as intended

you can connect to that computer you’re supposed to connect to

you’re allowed to print things

You can print in black & white without depending on any of the other color cartridges

All it means when people say “you’re speaking from a place of privilege” is that you’re likely to underestimate how bad the problem is by default because you are never personally exposed to that problem. It’s not a moral judgement of how difficult your life is.

Not a scholar at first, but the guy who wrote Jaws hated that people used it to justify hating sharks so much he dedicated the rest of his life to shark research and advocacy.

The woman who popularized gender reveals wishes she hadn't, afaik.

[fall1ngfeather]

(afaik- the woman who popularized gender reveals did so because she had a long history of miscarriages. The reveal was a celebration of the fact that one of her pregnancies had gotten far enough that there WAS a physical sex to reveal. It was never intended to be like... *gestures at modern gender reveals* all that. That same kid later came out as trans and yes, the family had a second gender reveal for that lol.)

Today we were talking about how words can mean different things to different communities, and that people outside the community wouldn't understand. Like how a non-poker player wouldn't understand poker jargon the way other poker players would. Anyway, then my professor said he was gonna show us his "favourite example" and wrote a single word on the board that gave me instant psychic damage: beta.

Apparently sport climbers use this word with a meaning of "technique, method." But for a horrifying, horrifying second there was the possibility in my mind that we were gonna talk about ABO in my fucking linguistics class

[muffinlance]

Professor Betas Georg, who writes 50k omegaverse fics during office hours, boldy wrote "beta" on the board while observing which of his students went dead. still.

ppl who complain abt IDW have never read dreamwave

[bashproshops]

obligatory I'm aware there's a lot more nuance to this. but like, at a bare minimum, IDW comics are ok at the "bar in hell" of being a comic, that is to say the panels are usually readable, the pacing doesnt feel like complete shit, the words in the panels are not "hello i will describe what is going on in this picture just in case you werent looking at it already" or "i am going to go 'hh' or 'ff' or 'hn' for the next 12 panels and no one can stop me". like IDW at least has "comics as a medium" down. and I still dont like [post 2000] american comics as a stylistic medium, and I find them difficult and non-flowy to read, but like at least IDW is good at the conventions of the medium. dreamwave is just. uuuuh

death of subcultures and death of third places are directly connected and you can’t convince me otherwise

[asra-null]

Instead of subcultures now, we have "aesthetics" because when you can't create a community, all that's left is appearing to be in one

Reblog and put in the tags a characters whose anti’s understand them better than their stans.
