Hey, we’re in line for some absurd temperatures here in the southwest this week. This is very important to know and keep in mind. Be safe, stay hydrated, stay out of the sun as much as you can.

Remember kids, DO NOT chug half a gallon of water all at once. Go ahead and chug just a bit, but then make yourself stop and take sips consistently over time.

If you’re still desperately thirsty after having some water, you probably need electrolytes. There are many options - eat a pickle, have a gatorade (or whatever brand you prefer), add an electrolyte packet to your water, sprinkle salt on some watermelon, make a fun drink with coconut water.

Foods count for hydration, too! Juicy fresh fruits and veg, cold soups, popsicles!

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

Everyone should be aware of nitter.net

for any address to twitter you can replace the “x.com” with “nitter.net” and you will be able to browse as if you have an account. Lifesaver.

Similarly, imginn.com works for most Instagram addresses. I still haven’t found one for Facebook.

When the self deprecating joke about newly out trans guys dressing badly includes a bit about the patterned short sleeve button up or whatever coming from the youth section it always feels like this

[draizetrain]

i think when u clean your house it should stay clean forever. what do u mean i have to do it again

[sabertoothwalrus]

hello instagram artist. your challenge is to do a portrait study of a woman but you’re not allowed to stylize them so their eyes are really big and more cat eyed than the reference photo. You’re also not allowed to make their noses more of a button nose or their lips full and pouty or their faces heart shaped with no double chin. Also you have to draw a fat woman. one thats actually fat and not just slightly curvier than the kpop demon hunters body type. good luck

[mutimatuti]

never not thinking abt this

[mutimatuti]

fun fact - I took this screenshot back in 2018 so it's not that, the guy's name is Ross Draws and he's sucked for a lot longer than that

[sabertoothwalrus]

thank youuuuuu I’ve been seeing a lot of people lately confidently claim art is ai when it was very clearly drawn by a person.

yes, all the changes to the reference were intentional and deliberate and I think that’s important context here

it honestly feels good as hell to take medicine

[tearlessrain]

what companies who sell you anti aging stuff don't want you to know is that if you're chill about aging, your perception of attractiveness changes as you get older. there is no "wall" where you suddenly become ugly and unfuckable because in my experience what actually happens is you get into your thirties and suddenly realize that people in their thirties are hot as fuck and the "flaws" that the beauty industry wants you to panic about are a feature not a bug, and based on the std statistics in nursing homes I don't really expect that trajectory to change.

we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write gen fics. we have to thank our brave soldiers in fandom who write character studies and stories with no focus on romance or sex. we have to get on our knees and thank the brave soldiers in fandom who write about minor characters and friendship and family with no focus on romance or sex. i know it’s hard to care about characters in a world that seems to only revolve around ships but i see you. and i love you

[gorgynei]

i didnt really think about this line outside its immediate context when i watched wake up deadman. but man. yeah. storytelling is just that powerful.

[gorgynei]

i actually have been so moved but this quote so many times now it just keeps coming up. like yeah this DOES resonate with something deep inside me that is profoundly true FUCCCKKKK

Why do white trans women treat the word doll like its an oppressive label forced upon them... grow up girl. No, no, thats an insult to children....

[sailatina3]

Seriously, whats with the ignorance regarding this term? It's not some cringe shit by cis gays like most queer/tme terminology tends to be. It's a word invented by Black/latina trans women... it's not the death of you. Come on now...

[sailatina3]

Help the crackers are doing this annoying shit in the notes

Hot take but rigid divisions between queer identities and heavily-policed labels that are treated like diagnoses are really, really bad.

Trans men have shared histories with lesbians who have shared histories with bisexual women who have shared histories with ace people who have shared histories with aro people have shared histories with gay men who have shared histories with trans women who have shared histories with nonbinary people who have shared histories with etc etc etc etc etc.

Labels are important for people who want them, but we need to stop treating sexuality and gender as rigid boxes and checklists.

[idhren]

yes. labels aren’t a fort you need to protect; labels are a pin you can add to your backpack to signal being part of something. You can, in fact, have more than one label (as a treat).
