Brother: What does the order mean?

Person filming: They/she?

Brother (increasingly frantic): Yeah but I’m, I don’t wanna fuck it up. Is it— what does that mean you said she/they and then you said “oh wait no use they/she,” which one do I use?

Person filming: They- they more than she.

Brother: Oh god

[laughter from the person filming]

Brother: Okay, like, how- how much more though? Is it like if- do I- am I being an asshole if I say, like, they maybe like 4 times and she 2 times?

[more laughter]

Brother continued: Or is it like, 60-40? 65-35?

when did "bullying" come to mean "facing social consequences for behaving in an objectively harmful way"? when I was little it meant kids put me in the trash can at school

[innerchildabortionclinic]

i'm never believing a conservative about bullying again because you'll say you're being bullied and it's like. someone pointing out you were racist online

tumblr leftists being surprised to see middle aged white women with signs or hats saying "deny defend depose" really reinforces for me that tumblr leftists don't actually talk to people lmao. like I did a lot of canvassing as a teenager and you know who the best most reliable political organizers are? middle aged women. you know who's bloodthirsty after watching rachel maddow every night and sharing HuffPo articles on facebook? middle aged women. maybe sheryl from iowa who's been voting religiously for democrats for the past thirty years IS more hardcore than you, tumblr user who did a write-in "protest vote." what are you going to do about that.

So this is definitely a case of "we did not expect Harvard to fight back and we forgot they have billions of dollars and the best lawyers"

This is funny, of course, but its worth noting that this is a repeating problem in these kinds of regimes.

Nazi incompetence also ate itself alive.

Under the many, many reasons that facism always fails, there's one very crucial one: when the most important qualification is blind loyalty, other standards like competence and cooperation are neglected. There's the weirdo sentiment of Facism being this like.... efficient but unethical machine, when really, its not just horrific but stupid to the core.

It always crumbles, it always eats itself alive, but with massive destruction along the way that must be mitigated and pushed back against. I'm not telling you not to fight it, I'm telling you that the fighting will work.

#and this isn't an ad hominem 'fascists are stupid' thing #a distrust of expertise and an unwillingness to be told no is central to most forms of totalitarianism #accurate risk assessment is almost impossible in an authoritarian context #because it requires that people honestly tell the big guy that he can't do something

You might be OK with leaving this in the tags, but I'm not.

tom hardy saying he feels at odds with his status as a male action hero bc he feels "intrinsically feminine" is miles and miles more gender fuckery than anything harry styles has done in his entire career

The full quote (asked if he had sex with men):

"Of course I have. I'm an actor for fuck's sake. I've played with everything and everyone. I love the form and the physicality, but now that I'm in my thirties, it doesn't do it for me. I'm done experimenting but there's plenty of stuff in a relationship with another man, especially gay men, that I need in my life. A lot of gay men get my thing for shoes. I have definite feminine qualities and a lot of gay men are incredibly masculine. A lot of people say I seem masculine, but I don't feel it. I feel intrinsically feminine. I'd love to be one of the boys but I always felt a bit on the outside. Maybe my masculine qualities come from overcompensating because I'm not one of the boys."

crazy thang is whenever someone makes a post talkng about how xyz thing annoys them someone will always go 'oh so we're not even allowed to do [thing] anymore??' like no you literally can. that person just will not like you. if that is enough to stop you then its not that youre not allowed its that you are not capable of existing outside of the approval of others

[catmask]

why are you asking for permission. begging? are you a dog or a man

[catmask]

there it is

The misuse of the "insult to life itself" quote from Miyazaki on AI burns my yams so bad bc the original context is being disgusted with how a characters movements are dehumanizing to disabled people specifically bc of his empathy for a disabled friend and it's such a sadly rare sentiment, this cognizance of how we casually inflict indignity upon disabled people and how he finds it disgusting, I hate seeing it obfuscated

[klapollo]

In the video he sees character animation where the presenter comments on how the AI can be used to model "grotesque movements humans can't even imagine." And Miyazaki immediately mentions that he thought of his physically disabled friend, who struggles with movement, with the implication being that what's "insulting to life itself" is the degradation of people like him to grotesque monsters. Regardless of my feelings about AI art I don't think it's worth obscuring this humane thought process to have a rhetorical weapon

Being chronically ill in your 20s is stupid you have to see your peers like “started a family🥰” “got married😍” “bought a house😇” “scored a promotion😋” meanwhile you’re fighting for your life to take a shower

OP: so this is the ‘intense regional downpour’ on the weather forecast

I love when the weather says 'fuck you, get soaked,' to a single mile-wide or square-mile piece of land.

With more and more Ao3 authors restricting their works to the archive (due to AI scraping), they're going to be losing guest interaction. And probably generally feeling down because. You know. AI is stealing their hard work.

So! Now is a great time to stop by your favorite authors/stories and drop them some comments! They really appreciate it!
