Sometimes when people on the Internet are like "ADULTS CAN NEVER INTERACT WITH MINORS IT'S CREEPY" I remember how, at 12, back in 1997, I was on the Witchvox forums with people ranging from me to people in at least their 50s, and no one there was ever a creep to me, no one ever made me feel uncomfortable or asked for my personal info, and when I finally broke down after a particularly brutal day of bullying at school and posted about it they were the first adults I'd ever met in my entire life who told me the bullies were the problem and it was okay to be angry about it.

Kids need to interact with adults who will listen to them.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I was practically raised by sixty year old scientists I'd never met on random science forums. I'd show up and talk about evolution with them for hours. When I got accepted into university, they helped me go through how to find a place to live and the basics of living alone (my family didn't want me to go to uni so didn't help with any of this, figuring that if I couldn't find accommodation I'd have to stay home). You're supposed to have friends outside your age group; I'd argue that it's psychologically unhealthy not to. And no, your parents and grandparents don't count.

[amurderofkittens]

It takes a village to raise a child. Not a village of other 6 year olds.

[the-real-seebs]

Yeah. In particular, note that the goal here is not to have one person you trust intensely and you have no way of sanity-checking them; the goal is to have a handful of people, who are independent of each other, so that if one of them is making you uncomfortable you can tell someone else "hey this person I know is doing a thing which sorta creeps me out" and get feedback.

In an ideal world, you could rely on your parents to perform that function. We're not in an ideal world.

I always bring up a discord server I was in, with a wide age range. One day one of the younger members messaged a mod to ask if they were overreacting to something. Specifically, another adult in the server had been messaging them and being very inappropriate with them. To which they responded "They did WHAT?!" Told them to immediately block that person, booted them from the server and sent out a warning to the server and outside of it.

Because this kid had other adults to go to, not only did they get help and protection, but said adults were also able to send out a warning to everyone else of what this person was doing.

LGBTQ short film in need of support!

Hey friends, and friends of friends I'm hoping this will reach!

As those who follow me know, I am deep into pre-production on my first short film, "Order for Owen," which I wrote and will be directing with the support of Bay Area production company Tricky Ink Productions, under their Training Ground Films initiative.

"Order for Owen" is about Owen, a young, Asian-American, trans man, who is just starting to go out in the world using his newly chosen, gender-affirming name. He debates whether or not to come out to his housemate, Ty, who he secretly has a crush on. Meanwhile, Ty is doing some self-discovery of his own.

Pre-production has been a major learning experience, both for myself and this young production company I'm working with. As a result, we are officially launching our fundraising campaign a bit late in the game.

The good news is, the initiative has fiscal sponsorship through Redwood City-based film organization BraveMaker, which makes contributions to our campaign tax deductible.

If you or someone you know (it's Pride, hit up the allies in your life!) is interested in supporting us:

⭐🌈 DONATIONS CAN BE MADE HERE 🌈⭐

And more information on Training Ground Films can be found here! (This includes info about the initiative, the first short they made, and my short!)

And whether or not you are someone who can contribute to the campaign, spreading the word is so meaningful to me too.

Thank you all, and please feel free to message me with any questions! 💚

During this Pride Month, which has very much come from America to us, I'd like to tell you about some of Finnish queer history:

1903 Aino Malmberg published the first known lesbian short story in Finland, named "ystävyyttä" ("friendship").

1963 Christer Kihlman publishes a break trough novel Den blå modern ("blue mother"). One of the book's themes is homosexuality, and the book ended up winning the national literary price.

1966 Ilkka Taipale publishes a book "Sukupuoleton Suomi" ("genderless Finland"). In it a lawyer Herbert Gumpler criticizes the law that criminalized gay acts, because it left gay people vulnerable to extortion and violence.

1968 Keskusteluseura Psyke becomes the first registered queer association. It later starts to publish a magazine "96" for queer people.

These literary works and formal associations might seem boring compared to the "first pride was a riot" we hear from America. But the truth is that these published materials slowly moved people's opinions, and in 1971 "gay acts" were no longer a crime.

Also reminder that our nowadays well known and beloved gay icon Touko Laaksonen, "Tom of Finland" started his career in 1956 by publishing his art with that pen name in a magazine based in USA, because that stuff was still illegal in Finland, and even publishing with his real name could have got him into trouble before the law changed. But damn it he found a way to get them published anyway.

The moral of this history; never underestimate the power of a pen. A writing or a drawing can be a part of a change you want to see happening.

[anarkissa]

I continue to be annoyed by the fact that rather than peg the timing of the Helsinki Pride to any of these, or other local queer history events, the organisers chose the timing based the Stonewall riots.

Not only is it enough for the Americans to culturally colonise us, we eagerly do it ourselves.

Luminous Despair, by Hitomi Murakami

[antlered-vixen]

I am so tired of short-attention-span, trim-the-fat culture. All writing advice these days is for how to write like Chuck Palahniuk. "Cut 'think', cut 'feel', cut 'wonder' - only action, only pushing forward, show and move and move and move." What if I could emulate this style, and still don't want to? What if I want to write like Henry James, with three paragraphs of introspective musings between each dialogue line? The music advice is, "make it shortform, make it Tik-Tok compatible, make it punchy, hit the refrain as soon as possible." What if I want that 10-minute prog rock piece? What if I want that symphony? What if I want it slow and luxurious and lazy? Movies. Series. Poetry. Bodies. Everything is "trimmed trimmed trimmed trimmed, stripped bare, you have three seconds to win me over, make it airport chic." I don't want to win you over, then, I guess. I want the fat left it. I want the pleasure and the indolence and the indulgence. Fuck this art-advice that's always "your art needs Ozempic."

found a snake on youtube that legit gets angry and strikes at its owner's laptop whenever markiplier is on the screen

[karioke13]

I’m subscribed to that channel. The owner has played multiple other YouTubers to see if the snake just hated Markiplier or was just hostile towards men. Turns out he was fine watching all the other YouTubers he just hated Markiplier specifically 😂

The snake with other YouTubers:

Vs the snake with Markiplier

[worldineverknew]

Tofu the snake! the owner has been running several various experiments based on people's thoughts/theories in the comments, like showing an edited image of Mark (it took Tofu a few minutes to recognize him, but once they did they immediately started trying to attack him) and even bringing in other snakes to see if they react too (none did). so far the consensus is that Tofu just really fucking hates Markiplier

[paradisisland]

The uploader of those videos/owner of the snake also has a history of animal abuse and neglect that they have been trying to routinely cover up since 2016. Much of the abuse has resulted in her animals dying. She rebrands every few years to avoid the backlash.

[paradisisland]

#also snakes don’t have enough good vision to strike without smell

This isn’t true, but I get what you’re saying. The likely explanation is that Mark somehow either a) looks enough like a prey item for Tofu to confuse him with a mouse, or b) Mark is moving in a way that signals to Tofu that he is a prey item.

Snakes’ eyesight isn’t that similar to ours, as they primarily function to detect movement. Snakes hunt through detecting chemical signals, heat (if they can see it), vibrations and movement (in that order). They don’t tend to strike at prey that isn’t moving, and this can be why it’s difficult to switch captive snakes from eating live prey to eating frozen/thawed prekilled prey.

I don’t know exactly what Tofu is, but I would assume he’s a Honduran milk snake or some type of rat snake. It would be easier to tell if he wasn’t fully leucistic. Either way, both of these animals feed on rodents in their regular diet, and I guess somehow Mark looks like a mouse.

But the bottom line is that Taylor Nicole Dean somehow thinks it’s funny to watch her snake hit himself in the head at full speed (which, by the way, for faster-striking snakes, is between 70-200 MILES PER HOUR) directly into, what is to Tofu, effectively a glass and metal wall. She shows him flashing images and overstimulating sounds for… what? Yeah, girl, why do you think he tries to leave you every single time you do that?

Snakes absolutely can form close bonds and relationships with humans (and I’m sure other animals, as long as those animals know how to respect the snake — which is difficult when you are ignorant to how they function). My ball python is 8 years old and loves when I take her out and just hold her like a baby. I take her on walks like that. Every time she’s in my arms, she immediately settles in and relaxes her whole body. She asks to come out of her terrarium just to be with me sometimes. It’s really nice and it makes me feel SO loved and special. She has never struck at me besides the one time she escaped and I was frantically looking for her in a corner of a closet I couldn’t reach, and she didn’t know who or what I was. These are some of the ways you can tell that a snake loves you, and don’t ever let anyone tell you they’re incapable of love. The limbic system is responsible for emotion, and there are brain cells in the frontal lobes of Tyrannosaurs that are the same in snakes and some lizards and birds, but we don’t even know what they do, and the frontal lobes are where creativity originates. So snakes do feel, they do love, and they have the capacity to be creative. They are not dumb animals who have some sort of “strange” reflex according to you. Tofu is doing what he knows how to do. He’s not an idiot, he’s a snake that’s being actively tortured and harassed.

By the way, whenever Tofu hits the screen when he strikes, it hurts. It’s like a mini concussion. Snakes who compulsively strike at glass, or who are goaded into doing so, can suffer from dementia and neurological problems later in life. This isn’t a fucking joke.

EDIT: Just want to point out that Taylor Nicole Dean gets new animals every few years, despite the fact that the average lifespans of most of her animals exceed 10 years. Very telling. Also she’s probably gonna rebrand after she gets backlash for this, unless she can maintain ignorance in her comment section as she has managed to do so successfully in recent years. At most she had 30-50 animals and multiple animals were dying near-daily. When people called her out about it years ago, she made videos talking about how she had been trapped in an abusive relationship and was going through heroin addiction, and that hoarding animals was is her coping mechanism. As someone who’s been sober from heroin since August of 2022, this is absolutely obscene and disgusting and I don’t give a fuck who you are or what you’re going through. Stop abusing your fucking animals.

[paradisisland]

#up to 50???? #what fucking insane actions do you have to do to make up to 50 animals die

Neglect. As far as I know, nearly every single case of animal death under her care has been due to neglect. Those who did not die due to neglect directly did in fact die from illness or equipment malfunction, all of which could have been easily prevented.

She hoards animals in terrariums on metal wire shelves and has all of her heating apparatuses strewn about. Pretty sure almost every room in her house was filled with multiple animals at one point. Fish, frogs, lizards, snakes, tortoises, crabs, a few other inverts I believe, you name it. She admitted herself (in a, what I’m sure is, a now-deleted video) that she would buy a new animal, care for it for awhile, and then it would no longer be exciting to her, and the cycle would repeat itself. So the neglect came from the fact that it is impossible to properly care for that amount of animals at one time, and that she was promptly abandoning said animals as soon as they lost their distracting effect. Many of them just slowly deteriorated, likely dying of a mix of things like dehydration, malnutrition, starvation, improper humidity or heat, or an infection or illness that went unnoticed.

She put some of her pets on a pedestal for her youtube channel and made pngs of them for thumbnails and made them these Big Youtube Stars™️ as if she wasn’t the real star of the channel, but they were. Some of these so-called beloved animals were some of the first to die. She even has the past face of her channel, a longhorn boxfish named Cheese, who only lived for about 3 years I believe, edited into her channel header image. Boxfish are extremely difficult to care for, and I personally don’t know enough about fish to say whether or not Cheese’s death was due to neglect, but we could say, probability-wise, the possibilities don’t look good. Plus, boxfish usually kill other fish in the terrarium along with themselves, as they kind of self-destruct under too much stress and release a pretty strong toxin that has a habit of killing off entire saltwater enthusiast’s tanks. Her other fish cohabitating with Cheese were fine. It’s safe to say it has something to do with her care or lack thereof.

I don’t know how many of her past videos are still up because she keeps rebranding, but I’m sure there are still videos up from other people calling her out about her shit behavior.

EDIT: Totally forgot to mention this earlier, but snakes don’t possess the same cones humans do, and primarily see things in blue. Snakes with heat-sensing pits are able to see heat through an infrared glow, likely making things glow brighter or dimmer depending on the amount of heat they emit. But to snakes, everything is pretty smurf-colored, so light, darkness, shadow and movement are the most visually instigating factors for snake visual feedback. So Tofu is not seeing Mark the same way we see him. He is probably looking at his eyes and nose and to be honest, at a lot of angles, Mark, boiled down to his bare essentials, kind of looks like this:

Looks pretty mouse-like to me.

online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something
