I’m really enamored with the dynamic of two characters who work perfectly in tandem, like pacific rim drift compatible level, but they don’t like each other. It’s not even as strong an emotion as hate it’s just a very neutral-negative dislike, but they still act in perfect concert and their individual abilities are fully complementary

"women's sports" are just Girl Dinnner and Girl Math but as a major cisfeminist project instead of sarcastic self-deprecation

Some trans men on this website hate trans women so much that they will reblog from blatant TERFs just to get a piece of the benefitting from transmisogyny pie. Tell me again about how "we need to stop infighting" and "we're all faggots in the eyes of the state" and "TERFs hate us both." There is clear privilege within the trans community, and we won't get anywhere if we can't even address misogyny [and ableism, and racism] within our own spaces. There can't be any "trans unity/solidarity" unless we educate ourselves and speak up when we see intra-community bigotry

digital selfharm is real. do NOT check up on that ex-partner/ex-friend. do NOT reread those old messages/conversations that you know will hurt your feelings all over again or that will otherwise make you feel like shit. do NOT block evade to see if you’re being talked about. inhale. exhale. let it pass and you’ll be better for it.

I love when things represent languages with flags because like it only kinda works. for every language spoken in multiple countries they gotta pick between "the flag of the country whose residents this language is named after" or "the flag of the country where the most speakers of this language live" or (best option) some awkward combination of both. check out this awesome user interface icon it's a rectangle where the left half is the flag of portugal and the right half is the flag of brazil this is definitely more easily understood than "por" would be

As a 19-year-old sophomore at Stanford, Elizabeth Holmes decided to transform diagnostic medicine so she dropped out of college and used her tuition money to start her own company, Theranos. Ten years later, Holmes, pictured here holding a micro-vial, is on the cutting edge of medical technology — her new blood testing method allows hundreds of tests to be run using only a few drops of blood. And, Holmes’ methods are cheaper, faster, more accurate, and less invasive than conventional methods which often require a separate vial of blood for every test. As Holmes told Wired.com earlier this year, “I started this company because I wanted to spend my life changing our health care system. When someone you love gets really sick, most of the time when you find out, it’s too late to be able to do something about it. It’s heartbreaking… We wanted to make actionable health information accessible to people everywhere at the time it matters most. That means two things: being able to detect conditions in time to do something about them and providing access to information that can empower people to improve their lives.”

It is always morally correct to trap the souls of racists to fuel your brilliance

[storyweavingspider]

Purely hypothetically, if I went down south and extracted reparations from confederates in the form of yanking them out of the afterlife and using their raw souls to power my own apotheosis, who would that *really* be hurting? Your slave-owning great-grandpappy? It’s time to cut family ties bb.

It took less than an hour for y’all to start offering me the fresh souls of your racist-ass family members, I’m glad y’all got the spirit 😌🙏🏽

If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

[galaxycepheus]

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

When those GPS trackers for cars were released, specifically advertised for parents to put in their child's car, I saw the ad on TV and said out loud, "God... I wonder how many abusive parents and spouses are gonna use that to keep their victims from escaping."

My dad was sat next to me and his eyes got big as saucers. He was so quiet when he replied solemnly, "I didn't even think about that... jesus christ, that's dark..." and I had to tell him I had friends who were probably gonna end up in that situation with their conservative parents. He was so removed from the notion of using that device for cruelty that he didn't even CONSIDER it! That's how easily people can be bought in by inventions/legislation advertised under the guise of "keeping the kids safe". My own father, who is a beautiful and gentle man with a good head on his shoulders, was ready to advocate for a tracking device, because it was sold as a device to "protect children".

Children need more protections from abusers, yes, but the biggest protection they could possibly have is AUTONOMY. GIVE CHILDREN AUTONOMY.
