would polyamory have saved the beatles?
yes it would save them
no it would have made them worse
no but it would’ve saved lennon/mccartney
polyamory is the problem
pls reblog for maximum sample size!! and add your thoughts in the tags for my own pure selfish amusement :)

The issue of trans women being sent to men's prisons isn't brought up as being a monstrous thing because of the misgendering, it's monstrous because we're sent there to be legally sex trafficked.
That's what V-coding is. That is why they are so adamant about sending trans women to men's prisons, because sex trafficking trans women within the men's prison system is an essential part of that system. Being misgendered by this isn't even an issue that's on our radar!
holy shit, to say it "keeps the violence rate down", when these women are being violently raped. aka they dont count it because they dont care when it happens to trans women.
Happy 84th Birthday Paul! 🎂🎈

Idk guys
It actually really fucking sucks that the two options for much of the internet now are either "get added to a massive database that makes you easier to identify and therefore target, put self at greater risk of identity theft" or "lose access to accounts and access to large parts of the internet".
From what I understand, the risk isn't that sites will know who you are (as it seems a lot of the time they just recieve the result of identification) but moreso that by going through the verification process you are entered into a database that enables things like facial identification. It's not so much the sites you have to be worried about, it's the cops and military, who the data get sold too.
Like, the blunt fact of the matter is that even if the system is blatantly and transparently fucking evil, if I need to find a job and a LinkedIn account would help with that, I legitimately might just need to submit to it. The threat of unemployment might force me to have to relinquish what tiny slivers of privacy I still have left. I'm definitely not doing it yet, but at a certain point I may not have a choice. How fucked is it that they have the power to coerse you into compliance like that? And all for the sake of an evil corporation. Everything is just evil dogshit now, and the ineffectual protest of someone like me doesn't actually achieve anything. Nobody else seems to actually have the power to challange this at all, the vast majority of people seem to accept it and even support it, they don't care. We appear to be in the minority here...
hiii first ask!! :0
could you write a reader with curly hair?? I always feel like most fics i read center around straight/wavy hair (might just be a me thing) and i just wanna know if the creeps play with reader’s curls or smth 😋
coming from a curly girly btw maybe i just want masky to twirl my hair while we cuddle is that so crazy??
thanksss!
the reader in my story is as physically neutral as possible so everyone can relate to her! but i got you baby. chose masky cuz you talked about him and cuz i’m crazy about him.
wrote this during my ten minutes break at work, hope you like it!
MASKY X READER WITH CURLY HAIR
the last rays of sunlight illuminated the bedroom in a way that almost gentle. a way of letting people know that the day was coming to an end, and that tomorrow will be another day.
you were laying down in bed, cheek pressed against masky’s chest. your hand was on his lower stomach—fingers drawing random circles through his shirt.
the day completely demolished you. first thing in the morning, jeff nearly killed you while he was throwing his knife around. then toby fucked a mission up and you had to clean up his mess. and the operator has been riding your ass lately.
all you wanted and needed was to cuddle and talk with masky, and now that it was happening, you were already falling asleep.
“you falling asleep on me, baby?” he asked lowly.
his voice was rough but clear—the white mask on his nightstand. a rare moment that you adored.
“no.” your voice slurred out. your eyes were already half closed, and you could barely feel half of your body.
he laughed quietly as his right hand came to settle over yours, thumb caressing the back of your hand.
“sure you ain’t.” he teased quietly.
his other hand came to cradle the back of your head. his fingers slowly and gently threaded through your curls, making sure not to mess anything up. god knows what you’d do to him if he ruined your hair.
“my beautiful girl,” he murmured, “sleep.”
you whined as your eyebrows scrunched in disdain, “but i wanna talk.”
he huffed a small laugh before kissing your forehead, “we’ll talk tomorrow. pinky promise.” he hummed, “but you, lover, need to sleep.”
he wrapped both arms around you, pushing you more against him. your face was pressed against his chest and the steady rhythm of his heart lulled you into falling asleep.

a/n: my curly haired girls you’re so so special to me.
- your straight haired girl.
Genuinely so charmed by how common it seems to be for people who knew George in childhood to say that he was gay looking or that he wasn't interested in girls etc etc. Little gayboy

is there a way to taxidermy leaves
Yeah you guys can send me yourgrocery lists I’d love that
Reblog if people can use your dms to leave their grocery lists
Sure, I’m nosy
abandonware should be public domain. force companies to actively support and provide products if they don't wanna lose the rights to them
Game companies hate emulation, but none of them seem to understand that a lot of us would just buy ROMs from them directly if we could. I don't want a fifth remake of Final Fantasy IV, I want to pay five bucks for the 3MB file you already made bank with thirty years ago. Nobody who wants to play something for the purpose of retro gaming is going to consider a $40 remake as the alternative option, and we're certainly not going to let the original dissappear. They're crying about opportunity cost for a product they're not even selling.
op i know you're probably talking about like, video games, etc, but this is also critical for research science - my lab has so much abandonware, either because the company's out of business, or the company decided to not maintain it, and it's a fucking nightmare. we have two windows 95 computers that are CRITICAL for performing experiments/data analysis because the software needed is abandonware. one of the main roles for a guy in my lab is to maintain these little dinosaurs because if they go out, we lose access to ~20 years of raw data for research. part of why is that these companies also make their own file types, and make it difficult-to-impossible to convert those file types without their specific software. by habit, i convert all research files to more generic versions (txt, pdf, tif, etc) so that i minimize risk of losing my shit, but some stuff can't be converted.
for example, we have a microscope that is perfectly functional, good microscope, but its software is abandonware because the company refused to maintain it. the company is still in business, still makes essentially the exact same software, but they made all of the old tech incompatible with new software to force people to buy the new microscope tech. it would cost a quarter million dollars to replace this microscope. this perfectly good microscope.
so like, i know a lot of people look at the original post here and go "well op just wants old video games to play" (which is valid! games companies should not be able to push shit to abandonware and then close it off) but also this is critical for like. biomedical research. if y'all had any idea how much basic infrastructure built on science relies on shit that is technically abandonware, you would probably be horrified.
#there is so much abandonware just...out there being used and carefully maintained#because nothing quite replicates the functionality
hello dbd fandom !!!!!!!!
i am searching for a really good fanfic i read a while ago, it was a legion x reader (i think they were called FJSJ at one point? like in the actual story?)
but basically it was mainly a frank x reader and it ended with u helping them kill that guy that they killed before they were sent to the realm and i can’t find it ANYWHERE
it was a pre entity fic where you went to the same high school as them
if anyone has any leads at all i would really appreciate it !!!
On a roll
How are we at a point now where "trans men and transmascs don't experience gender euphoria" is a real fucking take that I'm seeing people post and agree with? "Oh, trans men and transmascs will never understand the moment when you finally put on a dress or skirt and feel like yourself-" chest binders. Packers. Getting a short haircut. Being called "sir" by a stranger instead of "miss" or "ma'am." Growing facial hair. What's even really being said here, that we don't experience gender euphoria, or that our gender euphoria is less significant?
Weirdly, I believe this is a knock-on effect of misogyny.
See, if women aren't real people, then the things that gender-mark women are real gender markers that identify them as not-people, but the things that gender-mark men are just normal people things, not gendered. Because the male gender doesn't exist, it's just women and people.
So you can't be gender-euphoric about becoming a man; all you're doing is shedding gender and becoming a genderless "normal person", because normal person is male.
It is really really weird that misogyny against women ends up, through a circuitous route, as redefining men as genderless, but this is the effect of generations of men being "normal" and women being "gendered".
Trans men, of course, know better; they can clearly see the gender marked-ness of masculinity, and feel euphoria when they reach it, because they're specifically looking for it. But cis men don't see it because women are the gender-marked class, and trans women might not see it for that reason and because they've been trying to achieve gender-markedness. Maybe they haven't put enough thought into the construction of the gender they're trying to leave behind to recognize that in fact masculinity is marked. (Any enby could have told them that, but it can be genuinely hard to recognize how marked masculinity is because even feminism falls into the trap of "women are the gender marked class and everyone else is just a person".)
Given how hard people have to fight to be seen as "manly" you'd think we'd all understand how very gender-marked masculinity is... but the fight to be manly is often constructed as the fight to not be womanly. Like, this is how normal people behave, and this is how girls behave, and you don't want to be a girl, do you?
"Trans men don't experience gender euphoria" needs to be called out as a belief that's caused by patriarchy, and a form of internal misogyny if it's a woman (cis or trans) saying it. It's the belief that only women have gender... which comes from the belief that only men are normal humans.
Weirdly, I believe
this is a knock-on effect
of misogyny.
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
