whether or not men benefit from feminism has no bearing on whether feminism is worthwhile
put another way. i dont care about how men are impacted by feminism
already have people mad about this. okay here's another take. men should be feminists for no benefit.
just as white people should be anti-racism for no benefit, and cis people should be pro-trans for no benefit. the only "benefit" that should be required is the creation of a more just world, not because you, personally, actually do get something out of it.
Care for a drink?
I'll have one of each 😁

Every day I handle more money than I will ever make. Every day.
At the start of my employment, my boss showed me videos of people stealing, and we both had a chuckle about it. How silly they were! There was a camera overhead, and it’s not to watch the shoppers. See, we can’t actually stop shoplifters. They get away with it maybe nine out of ten times. But we, who are watched and tallied and witnessed? We are always caught.
At first it was hard to hold one hundred dollars bills. An amount I had never seen before. An amount that didn’t exist in my household. It’s normal now. Here is something that is not for me.
“What the hell, I’ll take another,” says the man, pondering our 200 dollar watches. What the hell. Total comes to 580 and not even a flinch in his face. I have been working for 11 hours today and made only 110 dollars. It will go to my rent. Today I work for free, it feels. When I get my check, I will have 35 dollars left for food and saving.
The six hundreds he hands me go into the cash register. For a moment, I imagine having money. Then I put it away, counting out his change.
I know for a fact we sell our products for double what they are worth. That I could be making commission. That they could hand me those 580 dollars and change my life and not even mark the difference in their checkbooks. He’s not the only sale they make today, but I am the reason they made it. He’s not the only one spending 600 dollars, but if I hadn’t spent two hours with him telling me about his life, he wouldn’t have spent any. I go home. I don’t own a watch.
I have watched and rewatched a video on how to make salmon four ways. My shopping list is always the same. Pasta. Rice. Tuna. If I can afford butter it was a good week. I dream of the world I will never walk in, where I can throw the best fish fillet in the cart with a shrug. I hold hundreds in my hand and look up at the camera. I put them under the cash drawer.
I go to work. I scrap together my savings. I eat my bowl of rice slowly. My manager takes a paid week off from work just for his birthday. He owns a yacht.
I’m not worth the cost of a watch.
i wrote this while i was working at orlando’s walt disney world parks.
i was part of their college program. i moved to the state for it. they legally owned the building i was living in and still charged me rent. i ostensibly was being charged to work for them. it was a 2 bedroom apartment and they placed 6 adult women in it in forced triples.
as many as one in ten disney employees have experienced homelessness while working for the company. despite huge efforts to unionize, strike, or otherwise demand fair treatment; disney has refused to increase employee quality of life.
disney admits publicly that a good portion of their success is because the employees (“cast members”) are dedicated, passionate, and selfless. this is never reflected in pay. even “face” characters (ie those that are princesses etc) make barely above a minimum wage.
at the time that i worked there, i made $8.50 an hour. at one point i was asked to create a human shield around a bag because a bomb dog had alerted to it. for eight fucking dollars an hour.
i now work a very cushy office job. i have bought the salmon and cooked it all four ways.
i go to the store. i am nice to the person behind the counter. she looks up at the camera while she counts out my change. there is nothing fundamentally different about her and i.
we are both worth more than the watch, anyway.

Expresion exercise based of the graphic novel
boi are the expresions in the new graphic novel great xdd they cracked me up so many times, especially squilf and tawny
this one where all of them just look at crowpaw for being crowpaw is just great, i love how even feathertail is judging him
so i drew it, kind of
here's the timelapse
awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?
i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users
would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.
that’s not the whole flag, now is it
hey staff what the fuck
hey staff don't you think you're being too on-the-nose
HEY STAFF DONT YOU THINK YOU'RE BEING TOO ON-THE-NOSE

(my fuck this is the shittiest thing i have ever posted but april fool is april fool)
more people could identify as asexual/aromantic if they not only knew what that label is but also knew about how wide the spectrum could be. because not every ace/aro person feels the same way and even people who DO have a general idea on what it means, could still be like "yeah no i cant be possibly ace/aro because i feel/do this and that"
youtube new feature bad bad bad bad bad bad bad help please help
i don't know if this is something you all know about, or even if its something all youtubers have access too, but youtube has dropped a new 'feature' called 'inspiration.' It scans your entire channel with AI to generate fake video ideas, like these. Those are also AI images.
It scans more than just thumbnails. One guy I saw shows a clip of his snake at the end of all of his tech videos, and for some reason all his inspiration suggestions have snakes in the thumbnails- something he's never done. It knows the content of the videos, that there's a snake in there frequently.
I haven't made warriors videos in years but it still knows thats where a lot of my bigger content is and so that's what it's pulling from. It's mentioning characters I've never mentioned, so it's pulling not just from me for specific content but-
That is... actually what scourge looks like. Mostly. He only has one white paw, but he has the spiked collar. The AI theyre using knows what this character looks like
there's something really unsettling about all the titles, honestly, they follow a generic feeling youtube format, but that's not how I title my videos, that's not how I have ever titled my videos, but it's still pushing me toward more generic content with these 'inspirations.'
It's not just titles and thumbnails.
this is an entire outline?
this shit is unsettling. It also, weirdly, knows a shocking amount of warrior cats lore.
I'm not just going to chatgpt and asking it to write me a video, youtube is looking at my videos and writing one for me. It's extremely fucking unsettling.
i havent looked at this since they launched it like a year ago.
let's see what mine gets:
ok ngl it's really funny seeing this try to make sense of my main channel. absolute word salad and dreadful pics. "memory manipulations"...
you know how ai text is really impressive until it's in an area you're already knowledgeable about? there is a really obvious path that this video would have to take to match that title, and somehow, the "idea" summary avoided that. it knows all the technical terms and how to use them, but not *when* to use them.
the "why this could fit your channel" is very interesting because it's clearly referring to 2 popular videos of mine (one low effort vid that ranked a bunch of VSTs and one high effort one that recreated a bunch of VHS era jingles)
i'll spare you the script it generated for me but it sucks and also appears to think im a zoomer (hint: my childhood preceded the 2010s)
in the context of my music-focused channel, all the suggestions kinda feels like a return to 2018 era GPT output....
now, for my game music channel:
it's really fascinating tbh!
"the squid chip" is not a thing, but it picked that up from a video i made. "squid-listen" is the translated name of the tool Nintendo used to preview the samples on the SNES. it's different than the music editor they used and it's software for their custom IS-SOUND devkit, itself based off some forgotten architecture that isn't dos or unix. it is not a chip. weird thing to focus in on!
comparing sprite limits is perfectly cromulent autism bait tbh. meh.
my single most popular vid here is about witchcraft so of course we gotta mash that with FM synthesis (a thing i love)
I've talked about some composers that were linked to pinball scores but never talked about the pinball part. i did get comments about this though, which seems to imply the ai is scraping comments for input as well
yeah yeah tim follin is one of my bigger videos
i mentioned writing a shader once in a video like 7 years ago, but i've talked about CRT stuff more recently. interesting
overall tbh i find this fascinating. if it ONLY showed me these "sparks", i think i'd enjoy it as a way to kind of peer into the machine and see how it perceives me.
but the idea that anyone would actually follow these steps to make a video? that's a few steps beyond depressing. sickening, really
Happy pride, everyone! Remember to blame even the slightest inconvenience on the homophones this month, it’s your god-given right 🏳️🌈
Jfc of course you guys give like 400 notes to a post with an embarrassing typo. So homophonic of you.

funniest shit I’ve seen all day
*insert piping plover emojis here*
Fun Fact: I work on a beach that has Piping Plovers on it and we regularly have to monitor and make sure them and their babies are doing ok.
