They’re calling me every slur under the sun over on twitter for this post

[cilceon]

Would you sell liquor to this baby

Yes

No

I don’t think life begins at contraception but I’d still sell liquor to baby

We all know that a large number of the convicts sent to Australia back in the day were convicted of "stealing a crust of bread to feed my little sister" type crimes but today I learned that a lot of them were sent for stealing their workhouse uniforms. By which I mean they were from Victorian workhouses, which were desperate, exploitative and abusive places on purpose (to encourage people to stop being poor), they decided to take that encouragement and try to make it on their own, left (which they were allowed to do)... and were arrested, imprisoned and eventually sent as convict labour to Australia because they were wearing the uniform they were given when they entered the workhouse (their own stuff was usually all confiscated when they arrived and workhouses didn't pay wages at this time so there was no way for them to get any other clothes). Imagine quitting your job at a fast food restaurant and then you get sent to a distant colony to die tilling fields for the military because you wore your stupid little uniform hat home.

Humanity fucking loves having a prison industrial complex so much. We can just never stop doing it.

you will never catch me complaining about an actress on a tv show having an imperfectly concealed pregnancy or a character going on a sudden trip somewhere while her actress is on maternity leave. so many actresses (and women working in any other field) are fired, punished and pressured into making reproductive decisions for their employers' convenience & if i have to try a bit harder to suspend my disbelief then that's absolutely what i'm going to do if it means people are getting to exercise reproductive & bodily autonomy without punishment

My favorite writing of this was how Star Trek DS9 handled Nana Visitor's pregnancy. It felt out of character for her character (Kira Nerys) to get pregnant and it's the semi-utopian future, so presumably birth control works quite well and abortions are easily available. Solution: another female character gets pregnant, is injured in an emergency situation, and Kira agrees to act as surrogate. They effectively wrote this entire story line well enough, with implications for the dynamics between Kira and the biological parents, that I didn't realize until later that the actress was actually pregnant. I thought it was just an interesting plot line.

personally i think miucrosoft should be sued for what they're doing to the game industry

Xbox is closing down Hellblade creator Ninja Theory

The future of Senua, which Xbox just announced, is unclear.

Game sold badly? Fired

Game sold well? Fired

Game just came out? Fired

Game not out yet? Fired

Game literally just announced? Fired

Xbox is an active hindrance to the games industry and i think we'd genuinely be better without them and their shitty console no one buys

Death to Xbox

I just think we should all agree to bring back non-ritual hand-kissing as a routine, commonplace gesture for reasons of my own which there's no need to examine right now

every time you make art of any kind, a stat that is not visible to the player goes up. also, this is the most important stat in the game

[ledogeishere]

does singing in the shower count as art

[i-am-a-fish]

does a strong as fuck ice mummy have ice powers

[greelin]

i’m sincerely always saying this

The group chat officially deemed me an “eccentric” just because I’m doing an Argonian ichthyologist play-through of Skyrim rn where my character is writing a thesis on Cyrodilic Spadetails and I shared the character’s hypothetical research folder that I created to help with my immersion in the role.

Like sorry I take the RP in RPG seriously but how else would I get into the headspace of a character who is only slaying dragons to sell their bones and fund research that will hopefully be published in the Tamriel Journal of Limnetic Science??

Something tells me you would like my Oblivion character. Claudia Hospitallus, census taker for the Empire and reluctant Hero. Also a little bit insane, as one would have to be to repeatedly march into hell and fight its inhabitants in the name of bureaucracy.

"Fine, I'll deliver the amulet. I have to go to the Priory to record the residents anyway."

"Am I a worthy knight? Sir, I am a census taker. But sure, I'll make a pilgrimage; I'm on the road all the time anyway."

"Well, it's pretty close to nightfall and nobody's going to be answering their doors for the census, I guess I can go kill those goblins for you."

"Ugh, people went into that Oblivion Gate? Damn, guess I have to go in to record them if they're still alive. Might as well try to close it while I'm in there. The things I do for my job."

[great-and-small]

Claudia is so fucking cool holy shit

Everyone in the notes forgetting about the concept of pregnancy you’re so valid never change

[troutfur]

Ultimately, you can like or dislike any character for whatever arbitrary reason. It's neither activism nor a moral failing, don't let the internet convince you otherwise. On the other hand, if you consistently find yourself lacking any interest in the, e.g., female characters of the media you engage with that may be a sign of some unconscious biases you need to examine.

[troutfur]

You say "be aware of your biases" once and all of a sudden your notes become filled with the most un-selfaware people on the whole website tripping over each other to justify themselves.

went through the effort of making this gif just to remind everyone of rocky scooting closer to grace on the beach

[ID: A gif from Project Hail Mary of Grace and Rocky sitting together on the biodome's shoreline. Rocky folds his limbs in to "sit" beside Grace, and after a few moments readjusts to tuck himself closer to Grace's side. End ID]

New thought:

You can go back in time to visit one (1) historical person, and gift them one (1) animal as a pet. You don't concern yourself with whether or not it would be ethical to keep this animal as a pet, or how would they keep it at all, but the one requirement you have is that this animal does not naturally occur on their native continent. What are you giving, and to whom?

[homunculus-argument]

I think it would be hilarious to give one of these buggers to Sun Tzu. You now own a giant pinecone possessed with intelligence. The fuck are you going to do with that thing.

been sort of obsessively combing through articles and websites and resources about top surgery and recovery more and more as I gear up to My Big Day and while I hate to report I may have gotten through most of the scientifically rigorous and reputable sites I am at least, now, stumbling over some of the funnier AI generated slop images i've ever seen in my quest for Patient Information

They missed. 😔
