its devastating when someone, in good faith, draw a trans woman who looks like me: tall, scruffy facial hair, wide shoulders, far apart boobs, big nose and then the trans community dog piles them in the comments saying its evil to depict such a negative stereotype like that.

If you thought “hm those styles of art AND speech seem very familiar,” you are right because it is the same person that did these

this comment fucking SENT MEEEEE
I don’t know whether to thank @festusmaximus for sending me this or to wish they hadn’t
THIS IS MY MOMENT
You unlit candle.
I can't stop reading the 1793 third edition of "A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue" (originally published 1785). I have been irritating all my friends and coworkers with fun new terms like "That's the barber!" and "He looks like God's revenge against murder."
Anyway, Ash talked me into drawing some of the phrases and I ended up with these little mid-1780s Londoners.
Highly recommend A Classical Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue if you want to write with or otherwise use interesting slang. Since it's old as balls, you can just pull it out of various archive sites for free.
Here is an easily found pdf copy of the 1796 3rd edition, for example. Tragically it's pdf images and not text searchable, probably because the uploader was a gollumpus.
That link is from the Internet Archive, whose amazing utility is not PDFs. Their PDF files are huge, and not always with OCR. (And if they're via Google Books, they're never with OCR). But if you go to their site and search, say, for "Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue", you can access all the versions online (I count 17 of them), and on each version you can go to the Full Text (see the column on the right, it's got a bunch of formats) and search for text from your browser, or after you download.
That said, these files are the result of an automatic process: they have mistakes, and no one has manually corrected them, and turned every "ſ" (that the machine read as "f") to "s" etc. Still a fantastic resource to find and read a book online (the Internet Archive is invaluable and irreplaceable, and I DREAD the legal troubles it's in), just not the best way to search for text inside.
So if Project Gutenberg, which does involve manual corrections, has the book you want, it's a lot more convenient. And in this case, it does! Here's the 1811 edition, fully text-searchable. :)

💀 my brother in christopher
it's true and you should say so louder
I don't know any of you, hitting the reblog button.
In Prince's funky name, amen.
please please please I can read faster than you can speak
I am also a “send me the article” person but yet again I SWEAR TO YOU this is not a generational thing, this is a “preferred brain mode” thing and the ONLY reason you think it’s a generational thing is that when WE got on the internet it was MASSIVELY OVER SELECTED for People Who Prefer Text so everyone you met ON THE INTERNET was someone who preferred text and people who didn’t prefer text ACTIVELY AVOIDED using the internet because Too Much Text.
Now the internet as a MEDIUM allows much greater access for the many many people who do not like using text that much, and younger people are functionally FORCED to use digital spaces and also you probably don’t spend a lot of time dealing with older people who WEREN’T part of the I Prefer Text block back when the internet selected for them.
Signed: An Information Worker Who Has Both Massive Numbers of Coworkers and Patrons From Older Demographics Who ALSO VASTLY PREFER VIDEOS and Send Them To Me/Ask Me For Them/Discover Whole New Fields Of Interest Because Youtube Has Instructional Videos.
(I am so fucking serious you guys anyone who thinks Gen X "naturally has an easier time with text" has no fucking idea how many people their age actually loathe, hate and struggle with text and absorb and prefer video-media . . . .because you have nothing to do with them, because the disconnect is that big. I do. They come to my public library to ask me how streaming works because they just discovered that there's so much shit they can actually learn - yes, I do mean Generation X, yes, they do come to my public library to learn how to use technology because they did not know and only recently realized that Holy Shit, Video Shit Online Is Fucking Amazing - because it turns out that streaming videos especially in short bites of attention-span work great for them for learning shit! Amazing! Who could have predicted this! I even teach many of them how to use Text-to-Speech when they get this downcast face realizing that their thing is still Very Text Heavy online, because text is unpleasant for them.)
(Please stop assuming that your personal preferences and those of the population that was previously hyper-selected for you because the practicalities of the format demanded a certain kind of mind to use efficiently is a universal for a chunk of time.)
(But also meanwhile: please send me the text article, I absolutely am capable of reading and retaining like twelve times faster than anyone can talk.)
This has been yet another episode of "for the love of god the next time you're convinced something is a big generational change take thirty seconds and ask yourself 'is it perhaps that there was previously an excluded or hidden or otherwise unexperienced population of This Thing that I am now experiencing, rather than a New Phenomenon/Massive Change?'"
Thank You.
I work as a sort of "librarians' librarian" in a rural consortium and a super interesting branch off this was that we kind of overcorrected for this when creating our training! We started moving to video for a lot of our more practical stuff, especially when it was digital - thinking that would be the easiest way for the library staff we serve to absorb information, since most of them were very much not tech-literate Internet People. Nope! They, en masse, requested text; some, somewhat desperately.
We'd run into the exact same selection bias from a totally different source: in this case, the only person in a town of 500 who's willing to run a library on 10 hours a week for minimum wage is going to be extremely fond of print media.
Oh Jesus H Frog, so much yes. xD
On the topic of English people being shitheads towards Welsh people - This fucking dude today on AITA
Yeah pretty sure we’re all hoping for a divorce on this one lol
how did this fucker say it’s “not as bad as it sounds” and then somehow end up being even worse than it sounds by the fourth sentence
That’s what we call growth.
I think the part about “I still feel like I’m right even though I know I’m wrong” bit is a really important and easily overlooked part of growth. That almost always happens in cases like this: that you’re rationally convinced that something you’ve always taken for granted is actually an injustice, but your feelings are still the feelings that have been shaped by your life up to this point. That doesn’t make you a bad person, and it doesn’t mean you’re some kind of natural-born bigot or that you are incapable of improving. Keep sitting with those feelings, and with the realities that led you to be persuaded, and keep an open mind as you explore, and they will come into alignment over time.
So somehow came across the god awful "who gets to use a slur" carrrrrd from 2021, and by the lord of Deers... what the shit is this mess of a thing?
For reference, it was made by some apparent baby gays, who decided to make a list of queer/LGBTA oriented slurs, who can use them. Most of the list is complete tit, and the unironically decided to say that basically Bi women, transmasc, and Aro/Aces do not get to use any slurs nor reclaim them. Even if you've been directly victimized by them, you just have to deal. Oh and if you don't understand a slurs, "check twitter or instagram".
This is some real baby gay problem, and the entire thing reads like people who've never actually found their queer/LGBTA niche.
It actually makes me feel really bad about the death of more in person queer events. I don't mean pride events or clubs, I mean just meeting other queer people in smaller spaces that are designed just to have calm and safe spaces to be queer and actually interact with people face to face. So much would be easier if people like that could go offline and see how "real" queer people talk, interact and just chill together, and then find the group they're most comfortable sticking with.
The online landscape is just filled with too many landmines, and it feels like some people really just take the most censored experiences of being queer as the one true gospel and you don't get to every step out of it, because they're afraid of nuking themselves.

What are dead man walking tornadoes? :O
it’s a multi-vortex tornado. i dont remember the tribe it originates from (i think it was cherokee), but there’s a native american legend…? saying? that goes “if you see a man in a tornado, you are about to die.”
the most infamous shot of a dead man walking tornado hit jarrell, texas in 1997
it did so much damage to the town it caused the scale that tornados are measured by, the fijita scale, undergo revisions, and it made anchoring buildings in the tornado alley region pretty much mandatory. (it took the entire town off the map. only those who had taken shelter outside of the town or in underground bunkers survived.)
two more examples of dead man walking tornadoes looking like a person are a tornado from 2011 that hit cullman, alabama
and a tornado from 1975 that hit xenia, ohio
Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, that's terrifying on a whole new level.

Oh my fucking and rabid god. The "AO3 permits AI fics and a member of AO3 approved the scrapping of fics" has fucking returned. Get some reading comprehension for fucks' sake and ACTUALLY read Betsy interview. Jesus Christ y'all so damn dumb and tiring it hurts.
