Just doing whatever, honestly

[melodies-stereo]

the main programmer at Team Cherry (the Silksong and Hollow Knight people) transitioned!!! all good things are made by trans women!

[missstrogen]

YIPEEEEEEEEEEE

[noahsfault]

One of the biggest tragedies of half the TADC fandom rejecting Jax's transness is they're not appreciating the fact that goose trojan horsed her transfem character in the shell of a tumblr sexyman and then made it canon in cinemas

You are robbing yourself of how funny that is and I'm sad for you

Hey. Any general tips/resources for Unika? I am gold 2 with her.

given her similarities to Sol, you may have the urge to play her like a gorilla, but don't. she's much more effective with a defensive playstyle. zone out the enemy with lasers, and when they get close, counter with your big normals for combos. be really fucking annoying.

[demilypyro]

that's true, Unika is very weak to air attacks and zoning. on those you just wanna fucking go in and get em before they get you

What language do you think is the "lingua franca" of New Humanity in-universe for Lancer? I've polled my friends and we came up with several ideas, including "an extremely flattened and romanized form of Chinese," "Esperanto 2", and "the six official UN languages in a blender"

I don't know what Union Common sounds like, but I know the language they speak in Calliope sounds like a very, very distant descendant of English, but is written using a syllabic script similar to Korean Hangul.

does it bother anyone else that people use "quote-unquote" as a unit when it should really be more like, quote "whatever you're quoting" unquote

[ayellowbirds]

Yes.

Help a disabled woman to keep her utilities on!!

Wednesday, July 22nd: Hello, everyone. I’m Gem, a bi, mentally ill, and multiple disabled woman in desperate need of help, as I'm struggling to keep my utilities on!!

I apologise for asking for help again. As most of you know from my previous posts, I have been struggling to make ends meet while on welfare. And due to my outstanding bills and ever-increasing debt, it has been difficult for me to get by. These past few months have been absolute hell, and with no other income, I've been relying on the kindness of others to get by.

However, I desperately need that kindness again, as I wasn't able to pay my bills last month because I was behind on my rent, and I've been trying to keep my sister afloat during her benefit sanctions. I'm struggling quite a lot to keep my utilities on. I don't receive until the 31st, and I'm also running out of groceries!!

Again, I know this is a lot to ask, but if anyone could spare any amount to help me, even if it’s just £1/$1/€1, it would mean a lot, and sharing helps just as much. 

Thank you!! ❤️

£0/£80!!

[tired-mochii]

This is extremely urgent!! Can anyone please help me?!!

[intactics]

wasn't Rem a female character. to the extent that the shinigami can be gendered. I think being a six foot tall death god of a woman and being brutally fucked over because the straight woman you're hopelessly devoted to has decided she's willing to die for some cock she found in the sewers yesterday & sees you as nothing but a convenient tool to accomplish the cock quest is basically a rite of passage

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

saw a reddit post about a trans woman applying to be moved to a woman's prison and even ignoring all the transphobic shit in the comments. like half the people were talking about the assault and rape of prisoners as if it's a good thing, that they deserve it for being "violent criminals"

idk maybe i just thought "people shouldn't be raped and abused for breaking a law" was a take most people agreed with but i guess im just naive

[k1ntsug1-r0b0t-g1rl]

like how the fuck are we meant to get anywhere if when you mention v-coding the overwhelming response is "well if they didn't wanna get violently raped they shouldn't have broken the law"

[lowhitpointspuppyplagueharpylady]

Especially when that law is something like "Don't be trans." Or just a good prosecutor taking over a case and making their money's worth from whoever has a bone to pick with some random trans woman.

[trickstertime]

Eels are hilarious. Did you know we only recently found where they spawned? For literally thousands of years we've wondered. Like, ancient greeks wondered about it. Also a bunch of eels we thought were diffent species are just the same eels at different life stages but they look and act very different, lol

[trickstertime]

Ffs I didnt even say. Ok, so they live waaaay longer than anyone expected and they noodle around the Mediterranean and around England and France at various times.

On top of this they don't have sexual organs. This is the one that really fucked everyone up. The ancient Greeks said mad shit, one old timey English(?) guy spent years dissecting thousands and thousands of eels and never found their sexual organs.

Anyway, what happens is, when they're done fucking around in europe they say "right. Time for fuck!" and then fuck off out into the ocean and spend months swimming across the god damn Atlantic to over near the Americas. Then their digestive systems fully dissolve and THEN they develop sexual organs.

Why? You ask? Why do these sentient noodles swim half way accross the god damn world to fuck? Well the answer is easy really.

Pangaea.

Yea. Turns out when they first started off, all the contenants were right beside each other so it wasn't that far a trip. Over millions of years as the contenants spread out they just kinda went 'wow, it feels like this trip gets a little bit longer every time'. They weren't wrong and they sure as shit didn't stop.

So, yea, turns out that not only are the slippy guys in the Themes the same as the slippy guys the Mediterranean, but they're also statistically older than you and at the end of their life they fuck off over the ocean for about 5000 miles so they can loose their guts to grow dicks and pussys.

Eels!!

[sophie-frm-mars]

Seeing people detransitioning or deciding not to come out explicitly because of how scary it is for trans people right now makes me want to just go apeshit, like actually start killing and not stop until I am put down. Fuck this hateful evil society

[manda-kat]

I think parents don't understand how punishing a child isn't for when they make you upset, it's for when they do something wrong. Like, you don't just punish them for stress relief, it's so they can learn right from wrong.

So if your kid learns, for example, that helping mom make dinner = getting in the way, but not helping = being lazy, but asking if mom needs help = being annoying and asking stupid questions, then you have basically trained a person to see the only option that doesn't lead to scolding as 'hide and don't be thought of until dinner is done'. So now what relationship is your kid going to have with cooking or cleaning or chores in general? How is that going to affect them as an adult?

If there is no right answer regarding the things that bother a parent, then your kid is going to associate those things with being punished no matter what they do. If talking during a car ride is bad and annoying, but being quiet and staring out the window is bad and disrespectful, then what are they going to do every time they're in the car with you but count every word they say? If texting is suspicious, but why don't they have friends, but going out with people is irresponsible, but why don't they ever leave their room, but their friends are all bad influences, but why did they stop hanging out with them, they were nice kids, then what are you even doing?

If playing video games is lazy, going outside is unsafe, playing is ignoring chores and doing chores is being in the way, then YOU'VE CREATED A CHILD WHO'S LEARNED THE ONLY WAY TO AVOID BEING SCOLDED IS TO DISAPPEAR WHENEVER YOU'RE IN A BAD MOOD! You've created a person who is hardwired to feel guilty no matter what they choose to do. You turned them into a confrontation ninja, who can vanish as soon as a hard conversation enters the picture. You've trained a person to disregard why rules exist and instead focus on who they can placate and suck up to in order to make the rules change. Because to them, rules and punishments are just who gets on the bosses nerves at the wrong time.

The tech at the abortion clinic who said, "you're 10 weeks, we're gonna say 8.5, okay?" literally SAVED MY LIFE

The older lady who saw me working the theater district and without a word slipped me a 20, SAVED MY LIFE

The nurse at the ER who refused to buy my bullshit story when I walked in and said I needed STD prophylaxis- she SAVED MY LIFE

The other victims I met while being trafficked, the older girl who told me, "shut the fuck up, don't posture like that," she SAVED MY LIFE

Even the young guy who was in with the traffickers, who got in over his head and snuck us oreos and cheez-its- he SAVED LIVES

The other survivors I've met in the aftermath who have listened and shared their wisdom- they've SAVED LIVES

You know who's never come close to saving my life? The cops. The court system. The Feds. Wider society as a whole, even. I've never been helped or cared for by these systems. I've been helped and cared for by PEOPLE. By regular human people who were all just doing their best.

More than it's ever haunted me that these awful systems and evil people exist, it haunts me that I'll never be able to thank any of those good people who've saved me. It haunts me that they'll never know how much of an impact they've made. The way I repay them is to try to bring that same energy into the world- and maybe do the same for others without even knowing it.

I think we're naive to look to something massive and uncaring to save us, when we've always been quietly and dutifully saving each other.

Nothing in the rule book says a dog can't play basketball. There are a couple rules against trans women, however, so she'll have to leave.

[maelwife]

Maybe one reason time seems to speed up in adult life is because when your full time job leaves you roughly 5 hours of free time a day plus two days off a week your life turns into a sort of monotony that makes the days blend together and creative pursuits move in slow motion as you can only get to them when other your commitments are done.

[maelwife]

When you look back and think damn 2019 wasn’t that long ago where did the time go? Job. Your Job took it.
