“what does the woman who shaves gain from not shaving” i don’t know, an extra 3+ hours of free time a week? peace of mind and comfort in her femininity? not having nicks and cuts and ingrowns all the time? having a healthier skin barrier? do people think at all whatsoever before saying shit on my posts?

[rosegoldandrubies]

It takes some of you 3 hours to shave? I do it when I’m showering and it only takes me a couple of minutes. What sort of razor are you using? Even when I use an older, duller razor it doesn’t take me that long.

“Peace of mind and comfort in her femininity”

I couldn’t imagine anything less comforting and feminine than looking down at my legs in a sundress and seeing hairy man legs. There is nothing wrong with a woman wanting to look like a woman. That’s not lacking peace of mind, that’s normal and it’s misogynistic to say that femininity is the opposite of peaceful and comforting. Not all of us are desperate to be treated like men.

[thesituation]

oh wow

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Amazing that she has hair to shave off her legs, I thought she was made of straw.

[headspace-hotel]

A perplexing idea...when you don't shave, your legs become man legs...a woman's legs somehow become a man's legs if she doesn't actively change the way they naturally are. Legs with hair are not "like a woman" even though women have legs with hair unless they decide to remove the hair...

Went pottery painting yesterday and I’m surprisingly infatuated with how this one turned out.

A prayer to the kiln gods that it remains as cute as it is now!

Somthing that I think is honestly really funny , is how the brim cap SOLD the book to Coco.

Like not only was he setting this kid up for the horrors , but he also took her fucking money ???

Like Why ?????

Every time one of these publications mentions Mamdani I remember that time he got a bidet installed and they tried to make it sound like a huge problem for the mayor of New York to have a clean arse.

[pangur-and-grim]

I am genuinely so fucking stupid. I was reading this book where a bunch of people have to pass a logic puzzle in order to survive, and I was like "why are they all dying?? the answer is obviously the third goblet from the left!" yeah.....that was not the answer. I would've died in this book, and I would've been SO publicly smug before I did. like giving people the finger, smirking, etc. this sucks.

Sometimes, I need to take photos for work.

Sometimes, those photos need to be taken underneath vehicles. This is difficult as underneath a vehicle is very dark, but metal is very reflective, which makes using a flashlight both necessary and an issue.

Now, my favorite manager once said of me, "look at her. she burns if she looks at the forecast for too long" which is the meanest and truest thing ever said about my complexion.

Did I, partially as a joke, try to diffuse the flashlight beam off the underside of my forearm in order to get pictures underneath a truck once? Yes. Did it work? Also yes.

When I explained how I got the photos to my (different) manager, he looked at me and said very tiredly, "that is the saddest thing I've ever heard."

"oh no it's even worse than that," I assured him, and proceeded to remove my watch to show him my tan lines.

He was very distressed about this for months.

Something else I see people keep forgetting: between humans and Eridians, we are the astronauts. And we are good at it.

Eridians' perception of the world relies on something that is completely absent in space — sound. They haven't been looking at the stars their entire existence the way we have. Their concept of aliens might only be as old as their discovery of astrophage. They made a bad ship, because it was their first one ever! Rocky himself says they rushed it, and that multiple (vital) things broke. Their mission was just as much of a Hail Mary pass as ours was — they had no idea what they were doing, if they could even travel in space safely. And, as it turns out, they couldn't.

Humans are the ones who have been doing it over multiple lifetimes. Mary is state of the art. We've been space farers longer than most humans have been alive. We can actually see through space. We are more likely to survive exposure to the void. We can encase our lighter, more flexible, more mobile bodies in a material that lets us walk outside of our ship, and, to a degree, we can get our bearings out there in a way Eridians just can't.

Eridians are not looking at Mary and thinking she's a bad ship. They are not thinking humans have no idea what we're doing. They are looking at this species that can walk in the stars, have been perfecting machines to take us to them for decades, have been dreaming about them and mapping them and naming them for millennia, and used all of that to save them, and thinking, wow.

I've returned from another live Shakespeare (Hamlet) to bring news of one of the most jaw-dropping new acting choices I've seen.

Picture this: Gertrude, chalice in hand. The King stands; "Gertrude, do not drink."

She turns to him, her expression confused at first. They stare at each other in silence, she studies his face.

Then it dawns on her. Her expression hardens into steel. She stares straight into his eyes, and slowly raises the cups to her lips, glaring daggers into him the whole time. She walks back to her seat next to him, eyes never leaving his, daring him to say something, knowing that he won't.

[garak-pussy-indulgence]

And oh god thank GOD i was able to speak to her afterwards!!!!

I said I had never seen that before in my life and I was floored, I asked if it was her acting choice or maybe the director's idea, and she said YES it was HER IDEA and she had wanted to do that with Gertrude for years!!!!

love the word fruitless. arguing with you is like if there was no apples involved whatsoever

If you are a cis white woman who considers yourself an ally of the trans community, your job is to go on every news program, podcast, anything and sob your eyes out over the horrific treatment of trans women and especially trans women of color because your tears are the only ones the patriarchy even pretends to care about

[mathematikerin-freyja]

I think it would be really wonderful if seagulls were constructed more like bottles with a mystery inside. What I'm imagining is that were you to catch one, you could then unscrew its face and there would be a glowing gem nestled in some sort of socket. The Core of the Gull so to speak. Then you could swap that around with other seagulls, and after screwing the faces back on they would fly off as if nothing happened. Hm... Is this too esoteric, or do some of you see what I am getting at?

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

[roach-works]

robots require very frequent breaks! welding machines generally have it programmed in that they can’t run so long they melt themselves. ive overseen two different manufacturing robots now and each of them were fragile, finicky idiots that require constant maintenance and repair. they pause in between moves, in between jobs. you’re always keeping an eye on programming errors, on coolant levels, on heat. you’re always pulling bits of scrap out of joints, sweeping up debris, washing off nozzles and untangling hoses. and even then it snaps a chain and takes a whole morning’s vacation.

even robots need downtime.
