Because of Re: Carmilla, I thought you all would enjoy my edition of Carmilla :

The holes go all the way through, the sides of the book are red, and on some pages the text is colored red just under the holes !

I was so happy when I found it in a little french bookshop specialized in queer texts ❤️

my friend took in a stray and she’s the cutest kitty ever but he named her oil so whenever he sends a picture of her me and my other friends look like we’re roleplaying as the US military

new years eve!!! wooo!!! go crazy go wild! 🥳🥳🥳

[meangirlnurse]

i made a pinterest and it like, suggests things for you based on your activity and interests, so i dutifully told pinterest a few general categories of things i like, like home decor and DIY projects

but i opened it for the first time and for some fucking reason it was like toucans??? you want toucans????? you want to look at and see some fucking toucans??????????

[meangirlnurse]

previously facebook marketplace did this to me with giraffes and i have to say i would actually like all social media sites to assign me an animal from here on out

[meangirlnurse]

update: i bought a shirt with toucans on it

[meangirlnurse]

here it is: my Pinterest-assigned hyperfixation

[meangirlnurse]

i have accepted my new algorithmically-assigned personality trait (toucan-liker) and made a toucan-themed pinterest board, which has now thoroughly fucked my algorithm up to the point where pinterest almost exclusively shows me toucans despite the fact that i also have several other pinterest boards that have nothing to do with toucans at all

[meangirlnurse]

i love the toucan website, which is for looking at and seeing toucans

Like wtf is wrong with me

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

smartphone storage plateauing in favor of just storing everything in the cloud is such dogshit. i should be able to have like a fucking terabyte of data on my phone at this point. i hate the fucking cloud

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

this is gonna make me sound very Old Man Yells At Cloud but i just hate how many things in my life assume i will always have access to a quick, reliable internet connection and almost cease to function without it. Obviously certain things Have To Have An Internet Connection, but i want to be able to listen to music if my service is bad. i want to still watch movies if Netflix is down. i want to have a working map when i can’t get a cell signal. nearly every tech product these days bears the fingerprint of the extremely internet-rich places they are developed, high rent offices in Seattle, San Francisco, etc.. I think often the idea of the internet not being available is so remote to them it doesn’t even factor in to development. i remember when the Xbox One was debuted and Microsoft was almost mockingly like “if you don’t have reliable fast internet, then don’t bother buying this”, and there was such backlash they completely went back on so much of that. But now that attitude is just the tech norm.

No you're right and you should say it

"don't worry about how other people perceive you" okay but like how they treat me is frequently determined by how they perceive me and I would prefer people be niceys to me

[audhdnight]

Possibly a hot take but the whole “just ignore them and they’ll stop” or “how can you expect people to like you when you don’t even like yourself” is victim blamey as hell and we gotta stop saying shit like this.

“Sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me” is a huge fucking lie. Words hurt a lot. And they don’t only hurt because you let them. They just hurt.

Basically, let’s stop excusing bullying and discrimination and hate crimes just because “they’re only words” or “it could be worse/others have it worse”.

Also, only slightly related, but do not tell someone not to complain because the discrimination they face is less openly violent than something others might face. I’m not saying people purposely deadnaming me is the same as “corrective rape” (assaulting a queer person to “fix” them and make them straight/cis again). How about we just try to get rid of both instead of comparing???
