I love when someone is explaining instructions to a group I’m in and they look at me and it reminds them to say something about using preferred names/pronouns or that there’s vegan food options available. I go by my given name/pronouns and I’m not vegan but I’m proud that I can provide this service
how are you gonna be 31 and posting fandom content bro leave it to the teenagers
People 10 and 20 years older than me are writing your favorite fanfics, and drawing your favorite characters. You'd have no fandom without the people you think are 'too old' to have hobbies.
Who the heck do you think started modern day fandom with Star Trek? It sure wasn't teenagers.
Who do you think makes professional quality fanart and fanfic? People who've been practicing it for ten, fifteen, twenty years!
Or even people who've been practicing it for thirty, forty or fifty!!!!!
example: Diane Duane. Currently in her seventies. Star Trek fangirl since the original run. Goddess-level Ascended Fan who has created official tie-in works in more forms of media than pretty much anyone else alive, possibly even Rodenberry himself because they didn't have audiobooks or video games when he was with us. Writer of Spock's World, The Wounded Sky, Doctor's Orders in TOS. Co-writer of TNG script Where no one has gone before, and writer of the tie-in novel Dark Mirror among others. Writer of a half-dozen Star Trek Comics. She has adapted her own work for audio, has written for the Star Trek manga series, has written short Trek fiction for anthologies, and plotted and wrote the video game Star Trek: the Kobayashi Alternative.
In other fandoms, she was a personal friend of Terry Pratchett himself. As a scriptwriter, she's also worked in fandoms like Scooby-Doo, Transformers, My Little Pony, Gargoyles, Batman: The Animated Series, Spiderman: Unlimited (and a trilogy of tie-in novels still in print) and Barbie: Fairytopia. ...And that's just cherry-picking her imdb page.
While she can't give out specific details due to Obvious Reasons, she's still active in the Sherlock BBC fandom - and there's a specific subset of her fans who love guessing which of the legendary fanfics might be her work (I am not one of them, BTW, as it is None Of My Business. I'm old-school that way).
Fandom is not for teenagers. Fandom is for everyone of good heart and enthusiasm for a good (or even bad! No judgement!) story.
Just wait until you grow up, Anonymous OP. Wonder how long it'll take you to change your mind.
...Some days when you're feeling tired and sad, and wondering "what the hell is the point... why am I even bothering?"... it's nice to be reminded that you're supported.
Saw a post that said something along the lines of “jury duty is wild bc the government is just like call off work bestie we need you to solve a murder and here’s fifteen dollars” and I’m thinking that must be what Gus feels like all the time
I appreciate the joke (and murder does apply better to Psych) but I think it's worth pointing out that murder is a rare crime IRL and most of the time you're being called to solve "did this small business discriminate in firing this employee" or "should this DUI ticket be dismissed"
Jury duty is “we need to keep the justice system connected to what ordinary people think once they look at all the evidence, the professionals can’t just totally disregard what an ordinary person would think looking at the actual evidence. You’re today’s lucky Ordinary Person, tell your boss the government has something more important for you to do today, we will tell him to get fucked if he gives you shit about it because this is more important.”
And that’s beautiful imo.
It's national bikini day! Suggestions for posting should be straightforward
The voice acting didn’t have to hit like that
you have to unmute the voice acting is Oscar worthy
he sounds like an anime villain
this is just the guy from that game slave 2 episode of invader zim
oh my god
guys,
yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric
Hell yeah CLRG!
So a lot of people have got the idea that they have a fundamental right for the world around them to be the way it was like when they were kids forever. Because a lot of these people are close-minded, which is to say authoritarian, they believe that the world not being as it was has to be the result of a foreign and malicous entity.
Now they are somewhat correct in that part of the reason the world is not as it was is when they were kids is because of international trade. Unfortunately, for anyone alive today, the world as they were kids was also the way it was due to international trade. So as long as the rest of the world has a vote, can't really fix things so the world is at it was when you were a kid .
This still sounds very pessimistic along the lines of "therefore we shouldn't try to keep things from getting constantly worse".
(Am I that unique in not liking things from my own youth that much except for certain aspects (but not others) of computers? A lot of things I like are from long before I was born.)
To clarify, the point is that it is not fixable merely through purging a minority of "bad actors" and that, while things can be fixed for the better, you cannot simply "go back" there is complexity there.
"I would never jeopardize the beans" pales in comparison to it's newest successor, "beans r not woke. How could u do this?"
skill grinding needs to be real. i want to be able to cook eggs 300 times then finally have enough skill to make a perfect beef wellington
for no reason whatsoever here’s a reminder that if you consider yourself a leftist/punk/abolitionist/anarchist/radical in any sort of way and get called into jury duty, you are to become the most square person on earth during the jury questionnaire!!!
don’t be that guy who says fuck the police in the jury questionnaire! that just gets you sent home! if you want to generate change, interact with the case and use your jury vote for good! ESPECIALLY if it’s a high profile case!
Remember, when you're on the jury, a good "that cop's story didn't add up" will sway a lot more Chads and Karens than "fuck the police."
Had jury duty, can confirm!
An innocent man is home with his family instead of spending his kids' whole childhoods in jail for "resisting arrest" when none of the cops could agree on why he was being arrested in the first place. (But it definitely had nothing to do with him being a Black man in a nice car, honest! 🙄)
And it still took like two hours of delibration after we'd heard all the evidence because one lady was so gung ho about believing everything the cops said, even when not a single goddamn one could agree with their own testimony, let alone their colleagues'.
Pointing out all the inconsistencies and admitted misconduct and letting people slowly come to their own conclusions as the trial played out was fucking hard, I won't lie. I can be patient, but it doesn't come naturally to me.
But. Yelling about how this was obviously a bs case would have shut everyone down and made them stop listening. Asking questions and letting people discuss how the cops tried to make xyz sound suspicious but it was totally normal, or about how if things played out the way the cops said then logically events should have proceeded in a totally different direction, and positing different theories that actually lined up with the evidence presented?
That got people thinking, and everyone realized that for a variety of reasons we all had reasonable doubts that the defendent had committed any of the crimes of which he was accused.
Being able to raise reasonable doubt among a jury of one's peers saves lives. If you get the chance, take it.
"Jury Room / The Holdout" (1959) by Norman Rockwell. One of my favorites of his. Particularly the gendered dynamic he depicts here.
Highly recommend watching the McCarthy Era legal drama 12 Angry Men (1957). It holds up like Roman concrete. 12 white Ben on a jury must decide the fate of a Spanish American kid accused of killing his father. It seems open and shut until one juror votes not guilty because to him the facts don’t add up and he has reasonable doubt. And in making everyone go over all the evidence and pick it apart, they start having to confront (and reject) the biases that made the cops sound believable.
This film is 69 years old and still hits at what is rotten at the heart of the US (in)justice system, what is aspirational, and what actually works to persuade people.
The defense and the prosecution have rested and the jury is filing into the jury room to decide if a young Spanish-American is guilty or inn
Here’s what the Department of Agriculture building looks like right now
To repeat: Freedom 250 is not a government initiative. It is a Trump-led initiative funded by the world’s largest weapons company
you probably think i don't like pink ladys because they're bougie, but i don't even care about that very much, it only annoys me a little bit. i just find their weird perfumey tang to be overpowering and sickly, they're a chore to eat, i bought a bag recently to give them another chance and i wish i hadn't now. and don't say i'm misogynist either because i looked it up and man and woman apples isn't actually a thing, that's just like a nickname that they're called that. it's simply not a very pleasant apple.
it's really obvious that people have just been using trans men as an "acceptable" sponge for their bigotry, and since it's largely worked out for them they're pushing the limits on what Sorts of bigotry they can get away with repackaging
It is worth mentioning how entwined transphobia (including specifically transandrophobia) is with ableism.
According to bigots, trans people use disability to get sympathy (because as we all know, disabled people are given so much love and compassion, never scorn). In fact, they're probably faking disability to get sympathy just like they're probably faking being trans for sympathy! They're stupid little girls who just want attention and pity, obviously!
I am going to write out more observations on how ableism and transphobia have a symbiotic relationship, at a later time, but for now, suffice to say, this is far from uncommon.
wowwww "converted" lmao fuck you actually
Also the "trans women don't have chronic illnesses" is just bullshit in and of itself.
Transphobia 🤝 ableism 🤝 antisemitism
recently saw this screenshot in the wild and lost my mind because i knew it wasnt supposed to say girl. its ladykins. its get off the cross ladykins. i know this because ladykins is not something my brain could make up and i remember ladykins. and i was sincerely wondering if someone put in the work to censor ladykins for some inscrutable purposes but then i looked it up and
turns out that actually rupaul made the same tweet twice with 1 word changed 8 months apart. he meditated on this for 8 months and 5 days and the word ladykins came to him. i initially thought he copy pasted the first tweet but i dont think thats true anymore i dont think he was operating with any memory of the first tweet i think these words were always in him and will always be. second tweet did way worse by the way. the people did not respond to ladykins
holy fucking shit ring fit adventure works you OUT. feels so fucking good tho. i think they finally managed to make a fitness game that actually feels like you're doing fitness and has the right attitude when it comes to fitness (im looking at you wii fit, fuck you)

Good luck kid you're in a reverse beauty and beast situation. Do not let that princely motherfucker fall in love with your inner humanity or the spell will fail and you'll turn human again
Good news if you bite his ass you can start a pack together. Go forth. Enjoy the ball
You can bite a princess too if you want. Or a milkmaid, or a butler or whatever. Go nuts. The more the merrier
