I'm kinda like if me from the past was a girl

What is there to say really? I'm a free-thinker/scholer/big-smart-lady. I'm beloved by most, feared by some. My most notable achievement is getting over my fear of spiders (she/her, older than 20)

I'm gonna say it, I do think that even the laziest person imaginable should have a roof over their head, food in their stomach, and access to healthcare

"Are you saying we should just allow people to have bad and scary thoughts and feelings??? And talk about them openly??" Yes. Yes I am. Your need to forcibly correct other people's thoughts and feelings into something more palatable and punishing them if they refuse to hide them is FAR more toxic than the hypothetical suicide joke you're getting mad about

Americans really really need to be less paranoid and more capable of tolerating minor discomfort in public. Not everyone is a pervert/rapist/strangler/fiend. In fact, very few people are. Treating every violation of normal order as though it is a threat is why people are getting shot for turning around in a stranger's driveway. This happens within the frameworks of basically every ideology present in American culture. It is an American illness. If your vision of the world doesn't have room for saying "I'm sure it's nothing" then you really gotta work some shit out.

apparently amazon's AI catastrophically fucked up and equated bytes with gigabytes so started billing aws customers literally billions of dollars for their data usage

the percentage increase. i'm fucking wheezing

They're hoping somebody's AI accountant blindly pays their bill.

TIL Ray Bradbury first titled Fahrenheit 451 “The Fireman”, then called a local fire station to ask what temperature it would take to actually ignite books. The responding firemen placed him on hold and burnt a book, then reported that the heat required was “Fahrenheit 451″.

That’s such a fire fighter thing to do.

My dad used to design kitchens at Lowe’s and one day he got a dude from one of the national labs looking to buy a countertop. Dad sent him home with a sample of a quartz-composite countertop to make sure the color will look good with his existing cabinets. The dude asks my dad what the composition of the countertop is and whether it’ll melt if he puts a pot on it (since it’s a composite and not pure stone) and Dad gives him some rough numbers and reassures him that it won’t melt if he puts a hot pan on the counter. The dude comes back with week later without the sample. The dude gives dad a detailed list of the countertops composition, to the nearest hundredth of a percentile, and the exact temperature it melts at, because he took it to his lab and melted it down. tldr, it’s not just firefighters.

Imagine giving someone a sample of the granite you use to make countertops and they come back a few days later just to tell you they fucking dematerialized it

[ferrous-princess]

Ok, but this is just, like, what people do if they have access to equipment. We just… put shit in it. Just to see. At this point, I’ll try and hit just about anything with an arc, just to see. I’ll sand and polish anything you’ll let me, if I’m bored enough. If I had a machine that could melt something down and tell me exactly what was in it? I’d be just waiting for parts of my world to become “trash” so I could de-materialize it and turn it into knowledge of what it was.

the wheel trend is so much better than the uquiz one. no more favourite lyrics from songs that tell you a little too much about how spotify-poisoned op is. you click the button and now you're assigned water deer. just like in real life.

each of the main three sentences in this post prompted an entirely distinct strain of person to send me death threats when it escaped target audience and that's kind of impressive even by my standards

why do cherries have to be sexual & strawberries get to be all innocent. why are we slut shaming fruit. what is the sexual valence of a blueberry

whats with the "fat chud" thing? why are we associating fatness with reactionary politics again?

[3000s]

not to be a conspiracy theorist but quite honestly it seems intentional and perfectly in line with the way fatphobia & glorification of anorexia/edtwt is making a big comeback lately, like, "lets find another way to make fat people an enemy by insinuating fat people are inherently right-wing 4chan nazis"

[3000s]

same as it ever was though like the "fat neckbeard" thing never fully went away either

ah yes, the false binary of everyone who is a trans woman, and everyone else who is not a trans woman.

just like the evil oppressive binary of gingers vs non gingers. or left handed people vs everyone else. or people from Baltimore vs people who aren't from Baltimore. or Ryan Gosling vs every single other human being on the planet.

you people lost the plot on why the gender binary is bad. you think that its oppressive because there's just two categories. not that its oppressive because its a symptom of the patriarchy to abuse women, promote misogyny, and punish nonconformaty.

you hate the number two, instead of hating oppositional sexism. you have no understanding of basic gender theory, and are identical to the common transmisogynist.

so of course you loose your fucking minds when you are presented with a short hand that means "people primarily affected by transmisogyny, which includes trans women, transfems, nonbinary people, intersex people, genderqueer people, both who have and haven't fully come out yet. VS. cis men. trans men. cis women. nonbinary people. intersex people. genderqueer people. closeted and otherwise. of all orientations. and literally every other person who wasn't identified in the first category"

[dodykeahedron]

People who hate TMA/TME, ask yourselves this:

Do you hate the disabled/non-disabled dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the queer/cishet dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the neurotypical/neurodivergent dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the white/non-white dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

Do you hate the intersex/perisex dichotomy or are you just a transmisogynist.

[sapphling]

the sex binary is socially constructed and not actually descriptive of any biological truth. you know that, right? it's important to me that you know that

[sapphling]

i know people can be a little overzealous in describing political backslides ("this used to be the feminism website!!!" etc.) but it's disturbing to me how much incredulity i've gotten from other trans people as of late just for, like, saying that "biological woman" is neither a real category nor a phrase that should ever leave your mouth uncritically
