why would you ever outsource fun to chatgpt? are you stupid? you can make mediocre shit by yourself too.

[willgrahamscock]

you're missing out on all the crazy euphoric moments where you execute an idea flawlessly, sending it to your friends and feeling the genuine happiness at their reactions to something you made authentically. you're robbing yourself of something beautiful.

and I get it, writers block, artists block, depression can really be terrible, but once you break out of it (and you will) it will feel like climbing Mount Everest.

peace and love on planet earth! you are saving the environment AND you’re cool!

i really do dislike how people utilize the term "unmonitored/unsupervised internet access" because on a regular basis they take issue with the internet part and not the neglect. i dont believe internet access is traumatizing, i think being neglected is.

the differences between alcohol, tobacco, and anything else in america is kind of absurd and it’s hard to wrap your head around without going kinda insane

[hemipenal-system]

you can drink alcoholic drinks in public if you want BUT ☝️ only in some places. you can smoke cigarettes almost fucking anywhere though, even though that makes the environment way worse for everyone around you. however you cannot smoke cannabis anywhere. you can’t even have it at all in a lot of places. having open containers (i.e. a bottle of liquor you’ve drank from before) of alcohol in your vehicle is illegal EVEN IF you’re sober as a nun. you can smoke in your car. everything has so much caffeine in it that sometimes a drink just hospitalizes or kills you. you can buy caffeine pills to stay awake at drugstores and gas stations. you need a drivers license to get decongestants and you have to jump through hoops and bark like a trained seal to get any kind of hrt or psychiatric medication. they sell cigs literally everywhere. they wreck your life and finances and make you smell horrid and give you cancer but a bunch of rich people are dumping so much money into keeping them legal that seemingly the only thing the government can do is “ehhh they give you cancer but we can’t BAN them.” cannabis has well-documented medical properties but old white people think smoking it makes you a satanist because of racist government propaganda. hell world

The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon.

No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn.

The parking attendant moved on.

I was going to just queue it for later but then it stuck in my brain, and I decided to make it everyone's problem

[estrogenpatchnotes]

So many ads are just “we at corporation care about our customers which is why we [thing we are legally obligated to do]”

[estrogenpatchnotes]

I think about this so much more after working at a call center and being told “you need to not say outage unless we actually have a confirmed outage because we legally have to reimburse people if we fail to provide service” and then seeing that in ads as a really cool and nice thing the company does instead of something they’re forced to

SIMPLE GUIDE:

Body Horror: Things that cannot happen in real life. EX: The Thing, stomach mouths, eyes on hands, etc

Gore: Fresh injuries, often severe. EX: Severed leg, gutspill, deep gashes, etc

NEITHER: Healed injuries and burns, congenital differences, missing appendages, etc. If I could theoretically go to the store and see that character browsing the isles- It isn't body horror or gore. That's just a person. *AND the amount of people that tag, not just fictional characters, but real human beings as body horror is staggering. Its not solely a fandom issue, ableism and bigotry against anyone that looks sufficiently "different" is prevalent in real life and has devastating consequences.

"Masculine things are the default and feminine things are Gendered. Like how pants are for everyone but skirts are For Girls" - I understand the point you're making but do you think pants have always been for everyone? Why are you pretending historical feminist wins don't exist? That they were originally considered masculine is not why they're for everyone today. The patriarchy didn't decide that for us because it likes boy things more. It was forced to accept it and it was a hard fight.

[queerautism]

@modestilly I think it's a clear case of putting theory ahead of people's actual lived reality. If your theory says "masculinity is always rewarded", then it's an easy assumption to make. But it doesn't actually correspond to reality. Many, many women are barely allowed to have short hair without ridiculous backlash. The pressure on women (and all other people forcibly classed as women in our society) to avoid anything that even remotely makes them be perceived as masculine is EXTREMELY strong.

Despite what some people on tumblr seem to believe, recognising this reality isn't equal to saying 'Feminine men don't have it so bad'. Obviously the pressure on men (and all other people forcibly classed as men in our society) to avoid anything that remotely makes them be perceived as feminine is EXTREMELY strong too. Because the made up system of cisheteronormative patriarchy NEEDS to punish deviations from the unnatural norms it wants to establish and perpetuate.

can you imagine tho if Eridians discovered radiation years and years after the Blip-A left

and they're just absolutely horrified because now they know why the Blip-A never returned, they sent them all to die, now to save their sun they have to redo the entire program all over again and Adrian is devastated -

and then three Eridian years later Rocky shows up with his pet alien and a ton of taumeoba all I LIVED BITCH

i can't stop thinking abt this post so

[chernozemm]

I'm sorry but vaccines are so fucking cool. You're telling me that I just need to drop by my doctor, feel a pinprick, maaaybe feel a bit off for a day and then I have statistically significant, incredible chances of either completely avoiding getting a certain illness or at the very least have a pretty string guarantee my body will kick its ass swiftly??? Fucking magic potion.
