[creatingblackcharacters]

I wish y'all put as much energy as y'all do expecting Black people to be the bigger person, into telling antiblack bigots to be better people.

[creatingblackcharacters]

I think it's a... Sign, I suppose, of the comfort of antiblackness, that it's easier to continue to beg Black people for patience, to expect it, feel entitled to it even, than it is to go to your peers and tell them to knock it off. Personally. There's a quote, I wish I could remember it, about the finite-ness of Black Patience. Mm.

THANK YOU!!!

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

[melanqueerly]

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

[phinarei]

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

No excuse is valid to use ¨AI¨

I keep seeing people even in creative fields that don't realise they are internalizing the AI propaganda, justifying AI use in some degree, as if there's some legit amount of AI use.

Let's make something clear:

THERE IS NO ETHICAL ¨AI¨ USE (at least for now).

¨AI¨ is built on data theft. no mater how insignificant its use might be. There's no legit use of a technology built on THEFT.

If (and only if) one day ¨AI¨ gets properly regulated, then we can start talking about which ¨AI¨ use is ethical or not. That's not the case at the moment. That's why we need ¨AI¨ to be regulated ASAP.

By using ¨AI¨ in any capacity, one is making clear they don't respect intelectual property, or the environment. They are inherently opposite

[acreaturecalledgreed]

incredibly bizarre and confusing seeing ppl call themselves "chuds" all the sudden b/c like

thats what we call neo nazis and shitty conservative bros? or at least its what we used to call them? why are ppl calling themselves "chuds" affectionately now

what is happening

yall know chud means fascist right like please tell me yall know that

[acreaturecalledgreed]

im hoping this is a case of "younger folks on the internet adopting Silly Word b/c its Silly and not realizing it actually means something"

so here's me educating! you're calling yourselves fascists! thats what you're doing! maybe don't do that and use your head before you start using every goofy word you see!

[acreaturecalledgreed]

let me be agonizingly clear

when you call yourself and your friends "chuds"

YOU

ARE

CALLING

YOURSELF

A

NAZI

[kymera-that-does-stuff]

I actually dunno what fandom I'll move onto next

Who knows maybe I'll separate the slendermansion from creepypasta and make it my own thing with my own oc's and just have it Slenderman focused

[kymera-that-does-stuff]

Nevermind I think I might go back to the scp fandom

[astraaureus]

Welp. Google's AI horseshit has arrived. And I'm not complying. They can pry my ID out of my cold dead hands. I will simply go elsewhere. Remember folks, DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR IDs. Do not comply. Resist, fight it, use other browsers or sources beyond youtube and google controlled services. Call them. Email them. Make noise. Fight back.

[mocrlbmutwwwptth]

I've been using Google as my main mail service since 2006, and every single account or service I've ever signed up for was made with that address. For a long time I thought it'd be impossible to divorce myself from Google.

It took less than 5 minutes to switch to a ProtonMail account, less than 2 hours to download and/or offload every byte of data from my Google account, and less than 3 days to change every single account or service I've ever signed up for to the new address.

As of today, the only single one I have that's still tied to it is YouTube. It's the only thing I'd lose access to if I deleted my Google acount entirely.

They really, really want you to believe that it's a hassle to switch to a different email system. But it's not. Most websites and/or services allow you to change the email address associated with it.

I've been using Google for almost 2 decades and it only took a few days to move everything. It's not a painful sacrifice; it's an easy change that, frankly, has absolutely been worth it.

Proton Shoutout

You can and should switch to a free, encrypted Proton email account. You also get all of the below perks. For free. There is no trick. It is paid for by the people with paying plans. I am one of them. The (completely functional) free tier is there to entice you into getting a paid account with even more perks. (It worked on me.) But there's no penalty or pressure for staying with the free account.

Also get your stuff off the google drive and put it on Proton's drive. It is encrypted. Only you with your password can access it. Not even Proton can see what you put in there.

[tzikeh]

Switch everything away from Google. It's easy and it's important. Read above, click the link for Proton, download your gmail and switch.

[atlinmerrick]

Also, except for some few searches once every couple weeks, I just use Ecosia for every search and have been since 2019. And they plant treeeeees!

[lilasboudoir]

Friendly reminder that those alternatives to Google aren't perfect tho, far from it. If you gather informations about Proton, you'll discover some nasty things, like how they funded far right youtubers. As for Ecosia yes they plant tree, but is planting trees a good solution? Not always. It can be, I'm not saying it's bad, but sometimes no tree can be better than trees as surprising as it sounds. The best thing is to not anihilate centuries old forests in the first place. That being said you SHOULD definitly try to free yourself from Google. Right now this company has too much power and we need to show them that no, we don't need their services and the moment we're pissed with it, we're leaving. But this problem will occur over and over again as long as those internet services are handled by private companies. Internet tools must be handled democratically by people, not power hungry billionaires. And that should be our goal in the long run. To me, free alternatives are better. Free, not as "you don't have to pay for it" but free as "it's not a private company handeling it". Exemples ? Exemples. Peertube instead of Youtube. FramaSofts instead of google meet, google form and other google services. Mastodon instead of twitter. Etc. Kick out the billionaires out of your life. We have the power and the knowledge to create better things without them.

"Nobody is calling her out so it's fine!" PEOPLE ARE CALLING HER OUT! YALL JUST REFUSE TO LISTEN!

^^ statement made by a black person

"This is such a non issue 😒😒😒 yall are being dramatic 🙄🙄🙄 it's about the rebirth of a trans woman!!" Yeah, a NON BLACK trans woman who died before she had the chance to transition. (Not to mention, she was NOT lovely. She was an abuser.)

hiraeth zone drabble/draft i made once upon a 1am also pls note that these were bulleted but tumblr fucked it up </3

Hiraeth Zone

ancient Greek(and maybe Spanish/Mexican?) Religious/eldritch/cosmic horror (Hellenistic paganism?) involves Atlantis Steven Universe except ocean horror and more eldritch (and I've never seen Steven Universe) a cult that "worships" the sunken kingdom except they use the worship as an advantage to gain further knowledge and possibly raise the sunken kingdom for all of humanity to see and to plunder it dry of its history, power, and riches(they're first step is to revive the Royal Family and to start they're reviving one of their "kids" titled "The Last Heir") they're not a government organization nor a corrupt company instead they're a large criminal network with multiple hotspots almost globally, one of them being disguised as a shady family fishing business by the Docks in Washington, another being on an island near Greece near the Atlantean hotspot current day takes place in 2013

The Vessel(THEY/THEM intersex, androgenous presenting with lingering facial hair) Lives in Washington state not living a very good life (childhood wasn't that great either) IS Chilean but is detached from culture and prefers it like that family has been described as having "strange blood running through them" (i PROMISE its not for racist reasons/gen, though the family DID face it in the story, it will help with their connection winkwink lmao) had a fallout with family that caused them to go no-contact with said family father was a stuck-up selfish prick who vanished when they were young and mother had gone off the deep end and gone slightly manic(and has been slowly getting worse) has been struggling financially, making it basically hard to live your average homeless-lookin person/that person who looks like theyd act awful(but is actually somewhat decent) lives in a dingy messy apartment suffers from drug and smoking addiction play music on the streets for a living(became quite good at the electric guitar!) was alone for most of life until meeting their friend Lilith Nathaniel(they/them somewhat fem presenting) both of their friendship felt like a breath of fresh air, a blessing, turning into a cherished somewhat sibling-like bond bond didn't last though because they both had a fallout before The Vessel was captured

hot opinions straight off the stove! 🥘🔥

[bigboysdrinkmilk]

Why is there a diarrhea parasite outbreak in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to disease prevention and control.

Why is measles back in America?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including RFK Jr, cut vaccine and measles prevention funding and programs.

Why is the New World Screwworm infecting cattle in Texas, when it had previously been eliminated from the area?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Elon Musk, cut USAID funding, which in part worked to monitor and prevent screwworm outbreaks.

Why was there a flu outbreak in our armed forces?

Because Donald Trump and his Republican allies, including Pete Hegseth, cut vaccination requirements for our armed forces, putting all of them at risk alongside our military readiness.

What contributed to the Covid outbreak?

Donald Trump and his Republican allies cut funding to a pandemic prevention program in his first term because Barack Obama had created it.

“America first” sends its regards. Trump voters, please learn your lesson. And if you don’t, it’ll be taught to you again with yet another diarrhea outbreak.
