Michigan has been doing *some shit*

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

Happy Smallpox Eradication Day

queen-mihai

I'm developing a theory that humans are capable of learning and understanding massive and extremely important information, but also just..."flavor of the week" when it comes to beliefs.

And unfortunately, human accomplishments tend to fall under "beliefs"

Which can change by whim.

I suppose that sort of flexibility is healthy, on an evolutionary basis.

"The watering hole is safe" is a fact until the tigers come and then no matter how much history you have with that watering hole, the fact that the tigers are there now means the water isn't safe anymore.

It might be worthwhile to revisit the watering hole again later to see if the danger is still present

If the tigers leave and don't come back, then it kinda feels like the watering hole was always safe... except that one time.

That flexibility becomes a problem, though, when it comes to stuff like Y2K and the ozone layer.

I still remember both of these as I actually lived through them. The ozone especially.

I remember thinking that I was going to see the end of humanity in my lifetime because we were gonna be too stupid to actually get our collective shit together and figure out how to fix the ozone layer

Some years back, I remembered and looked and figured out that like, yeah, we fixed it.

And now.... now it's climate change.

I actually got to have a hand in that one.

I helped electrify ships in Norway and saved one company $5.2 million just by fixing their communication equipment in a week. Then I went on to do at least 5x more over the next 10 months

Not just money. I stopped so much diesel from being used that the temperature over Norway that year went DOWN.

It's one of my biggest claims to fame. I altered the earth's climate. By myself.

My reward? My boss was a racist piece of shit to me and overworked and badgered and belittled me so hard that I got physically sick and had to leave the INDUSTRY.

So instead of this being the timeline where "that black trans girl showed the world how to save itself and all industrial businesses noticed that they could save the world AND save themselves money at the same time"

This is now "the timeline where there was a weird anomaly in the climate data exactly once and actually things went back to being just as bad as they were soon after"

We COULD fix the climate.

It literally wouldn't be hard.

The people in charge

Don't

Want to.

Americans: Some of your kids are LGBTQIA+

Deal with it.

Reminder about billionaires and corporations:

We, regular people, don't have to take their money directly in order to rip them to shreds

The thing about "their" money, is that it's in OUR pockets.

Build your own website. There are options for hosting, options for domains, and tons of free tools to make it where you can build a cute and functional website damn near for free

Grow food. Grow vegetables. I know next to nothing about plants and every plant in my house is alive. It's easier and less scary than you think and while you may not replace your ENTIRE diet with stuff you grow, you CAN reduce your grocery bill.

And reducing your bill?

To a giant corporation?

Oh they can't handle that. Using your free will in a way that reduces their profits might as well be stealing for how much they hate it

Walk places. Find a few places near you that you can walk to and try out getting there without a car if you can. You'll get some much needed sunshine, your muscles will get some work, your lungs will get fresh air.... even if you're literally shitposting the whole way there and the whole way back you will have made your life a little better and there's NOTHING a billionaire can do to stop you

But every person who does so, makes that billionaire poorer

When millions of us are walking, gardening, and hosting our own online homes??? Oh just SO many industries will feel it

They

Will

BEG

For you to sit down and scroll and stay on their site just a LITTLE bit more.

Fuck 'em. Let them die.

Buy two lemons, two limes, some strawberries, and some sugar

Bring it home

Wash it all

Cut the lemons and limes in half and squeeze them into a big pot or a giant bowl. Then throw the the skins in too. Fill it to cover the fruit with cold water and set aside.

Slice up the strawberries and throw them in a pot with some water and sugar. Measure with your heart.

Bring it to a low boil and then once it boils for like 30 seconds bring it to a simmer and stir occasionally. This, plus the sugar, will draw out the flavor of the strawberries.

After some amount of time once some of the water has evaporated and the liquid in the pot is slightly thicker, dump the whole pot into your big pot or bowl with the lemons and limes. Stir that whole mess up and taste it. It'll probably be way too sweet and way too sour

Here is the magic

Add water

No no

Add more

Taste it

Add more

Keep going until it tastes right

I've made GALLONS of strawberry lemonade like this and it's FUCKING GOOD

You think I'm done?

I'm not done. Because

you can reuse it

Filter out all that fruit from the juice you just made, get a sealable container with a wide mouth, (good time for a mason jar) put the fruit skins in there and fill it to the brim with water.

Throw that in the fridge for 12 hours and

You can probably make JUST AS MUCH AS THE FIRST BATCH

That's anywhere from one to like FOUR FUCKING GALLONS of juice from some fruit, some sugar, some effort, and some time

And the ingredients cost probably less than ONE liter or quart of juice

And if you do it right, it tastes massively fucking better

The billionaires money is already in YOUR pocket

All you have to do is keep it

queen-mihai

Legit I know some of yall are bored out of your minds. You don't want to sell your time to some moron

So give your time to yourself

Yes yes they will get a tiny bit of money when you buy ingredients

But they will get MUCH LESS than if you bought their bullshit product™

And them getting LESS??? Oh they fucking hate that. They hate that more than you giving them nothing. Because it means you CHOSE to go to their store. You CHOSE to browse their products. You CHOSE to spend actual real money and give that money TO THEM.

They can deal with people refusing to give them anything. Once they lose you for a customer for good they just turn their attention elsewhere.

But when they've GOT YOU IN THEIR STORES and you aren't buying barely anything

That shit drives them INSANE because they spend so much goddamn money on advertising and designs and pictures and colors

Wait 6 months and watch everything start to shift inside the stores

I'm talking about grocery stores right now because that's the only goddamn thing I even spend money on and that's only because I fucking like being alive

But yeah don't spend money on a goddamn thing and watch the shape and size and price of the packages shift and watch the signs and the lettering get BIGGER and watch the sales get brighter and watch the ads get louder because corporations get DESPERATE when they keep earning less and less and less

queen-mihai

I told yall

I fucking told you.

CEOs are morons

They're trying to hire people back?

Make them pay quadruple

Any company who laid off workers because of ai, every single worker needs to DEMAND at least $50 per hour to work for them. Period. Pay up or watch your company die.

Minimum.

Duolingo? Yeah sorry dawg you clearly don't value human life.

You know what? Nah fuck this

$150,000 is the new minimum wage for any company who bought into ai

Pay or crash.

Your choice

I had to respond to the most recent Hank Green video about the blue origin explosion

briarhide

In light of some of the many things happening across the world this year, I thought this Pride Month needed a special illustration.

Happy Pride Month, may we all stay safe, look after each other, and keep painting our rainbows, no matter what. 🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

I do think "literally zero evidence indicates that gatekeeping medical transition does anything to prevent regret, but the harm done by gatekeeping is extensively documented" is a much stronger argument than "regret isn't real" cause there's always going to be some anecdote that puts you in a weak-looking rhetorical position for the latter, but the former is pretty unassailable.

tpwrtrmnky

You really need to approach this "debate" with an understanding that opponents of gender-affirming care are proposing treatments and methodologies backed by Jack Shit. "Gatekeep harder to prevent regret" has an equal amount of evidence backing it as "give them ivermectin to prevent regret" or "try to balance the humours?" or "try putting a scalpel in a glass of water then dilute that water at a 1:1000 ratio 40 times to make a homeopathic cure for the regret"

queen-mihai

And it's important to know that these people don't mean anything they say.

They don't want you to transition. They don't want anyone to transition. Ever. Never. They just know they can't SAY that out loud because it'll lose them votes.

It's just like the bullshit with racism. "Oh you don't think people of color get an equal shot? Well why can I name exactly one rich black person?"

I met a woman from the right wing party of Norway the other day and she was pushing all the bullshit "maybe we should just have people wait until they're 18" and "improving the lives of trans people isn't on our priority list NOW but maybe later" and "oh someone who is 5 doesn't know what gender is so let's make people wait until they're 21"

They JUST don't want people to transition. AT ALL. And they know that trans people DIE when they don't transition

So

Every single politician pushing a "Wait" narrative is a fucking MURDERER

They should go to prison for negligent homicide

$456/$10k

"My name is Andrej. I'm broke, unemployed and chronically ill (long COVID), and my older sister is also unemployed and disabled due to medical malpractice. She has been dealing with severe chronic back pain since 2021, when she started having sudden and horrific back pain, hip pain and right leg pain, to the point where she was incapable of moving. Her general doctor gave her painkillers that barely worked; the PT she tried didn't work, either, and other doctors ignored her or refused to take her seriously. We live in Serbia, where it's a struggle to set foot in the exam rooms of free public doctors, because the wait times are notoriously bad, so we were forced to seek treatment in private clinics unless we wanted to wait months for an exam.

Thank you, Black people in fandom spaces. Thank you, Black creators and Black lurkers. Thank you Black artists, Black writers. Thank you, Black bloggers, Black influencers. Shoutout to those Black characters, both canon and original. Thank you, Black people, both queer and cishet.

Your perspectives matter. Your representation matters. You are not bothersome for demanding equal treatment in fandom. It is not your responsibility to make fandom more welcoming and inclusive to you. It is not your sole responsibility to create all of the Black-centered content. You are not "ruining" anyone's fun for demanding better for yourself, and anyone who says otherwise can go fuck themselves. Any fandom worth being a part of should have no room for racism in it.

Black people in fandom, you are wanted. You are needed. You are loved and appreciated. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

And since they don't get told it near enough, thank you, Black women especially!!!

I'm trying to create a fandom for The Master's Quest but this site and our world is fucking racist and transphobic and it's a FUCKING uphill battle

If I were white and cisgender and straight and male my books would already be bestsellers with the reviews I've gotten.

People have CHANGED CAREERS as a result of reading ONE of my books

I change lives so easily it's practically a superpower. If I was a straight white cisgender man I'd be on the news all over the world by now. I'd be getting invited to talk to Stephen Colbert and Rachel Maddow. I'd probably be a hundred-millionaire by now.

But I'm transgender and I'm sapphic and most of all I'm black. So unless I need people all over the world to follow me and support me and give me money and advocate for me

Yall follow me. Seriously. Tumblr is purging my followers and probably has been for years. If you think you're following me, check. If you're not, let me know. I don't give a fuck about telling Tumblr. Tell me. Tell the community. They're doing this on purpose to keep my voice quiet

queen-mihai

Within 24 hours I've gained 25 followers

How interesting that my follower count isn't just hovering at the same number at around the same time that I keep seeing "so-and-so followed you"

Maybe they're aware they got CAUGHT?

freyfromthea

i just remembered something crazy, the first time i followed you (about a year ago maybe?) you suddenly stopped showing up on my dash and i was like 'haven't heard from mihai in a while, is she ok?'

i went to your page and not only were you still posting just fine, tumblr had somehow made me unfollow o_o

i just chalked it up to a glitch at the time but now i'm thinking it was on purpose, that's wild

queen-mihai

Oh it's absolutely on purpose. I see this all the time from the other side. But that's part of why you haven't seen me calling it out. If I say "hey I see people reblog a bunch of my stuff and then they suddenly stop reblogging from me and also they're no longer following me... is this Tumblr staff being stupid again?"

Bad faith idiots could pretend I'm just a conspiracy theorist, especially if my follower count starts rising again as soon as people start looking.

The only way to beat this kind of tactic is to do exactly what I did

Wait.

Because, unlike Tumblr staff, I've got the truth on my side. I didn't rage, I didn't fuck off and leave, I just happily kept posting and paying attention and eventually someone came forward without me even needing to ask.

When bigots think they've got the upper hand, they always get more brazen with their bigotry. Because there's no world they would ever want to live in that includes me in it. But they also don't want to be called out for their bigotry because it'll cost them money and friends and opportunities.

Tumblr staff is not only transphobic, they are racist.

I can say that unequivocally. Especially Matt. I wouldn't be surprised if he was a card carrying member of the organization that is represented by a thrice repeated exhibition the eleventh letter.

Hundreds leave country's main asylum centre, just hours after people there told MEE of 'living like dogs' in crisis-hit facility

White supremacists try to sell a story of "refugees are coming to fuck all our women and outbreed us"

The so-called great bullshit replacement

This is the reality. They sell that story to lawmakers to get disgusting sites like this built and force vulnerable people into basically prisons

Hey Netherlands

I'm looking at you

Is this who you are?

Every company: "We're gonna use blockchain technology!"

Literally every person: Nobody wants that

Companies: "why isn't anyone giving us money?"

People: we told you we don't want it

Companies: We're going bankrupt!

People: Get fucked.

Later...

Companies: now we're gonna use NFT's!

Literally every person: Nobody wants that

Companies: why isn't anyone giving us money?

People: we told you we don't want it

Companies: but you don't know what you're talking about

People: Get fucked. We know what we want.

Now...

Companies: we're gonna use ai!

Literally every person: Nobody wants that

Companies: you don't know what you're talking about but.... why is no one giving us money???

People: we told you we don't want it

Companies: we're going bankrupt!

People: get fucked.

We need to let these companies die

Looking at Norway in the news:

Norway stopped selling missiles to Malaysia

Interesting. I wonder.

Looks like the US looks ready to step in and sell them anyway. Why are they big mad about Norway when they look like they're getting what they wanted?

Hmmm let's look at how they treat trans people. It's not always a perfect indicator but sometimes you can get a feel for a country by what they do to queer peo-

oh...........

Good job Norway.
