Meli in WI

I cannot choose to be cis. I cannot choose to be straight. I can choose violence. Don't make me.

People with most mainstream tastes imaginable should not open their mouth on how anti piracy they are btw. Yea no shit you can depend on legal sources to watch Marvel and listen to tswift and Maroon 5. Thank you so much for signing the petition to close that platform that was the only one i could download this 2008 romanian dungeon synth ep from

Cheryl Dunye’s directorial debut, The Watermelon Woman, was out of print between 2000 and 2018. Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace was only available to watch on a pirate channel on YouTube until last year. There is still no way to watch the X-Files spinoff, The Lone Gunmen except to own a dvd box set that has been out of print since 2005. Or to pirate it. It’s on YouTube.

Piracy is incredibly important to keep media that’s weird, or out there or just embarrassing to someone in power, alive. We need piracy and we need to stop being snitches when someone pirates stuff.

It's not piracy. It's salvage.

Real homies respect trans people!

the u.s. senate unanimously passing a resolution condemning every pro-palestine student demonstration as "anti-semitism" and "pro-hamas" while turning a blind eye to israel cutting gaza off from the world so they can wipe out an entire population is one of the most disgusting things i've ever seen in my life btw. palestinians being slaughtered in the thousands while mccarthyism is being blatantly reinstated.

if you think "other trans people are the enemy, actually" how about you grow the fuck up?

I've seen so many posts on a specific trans subreddit (which I will not disclose here) hating on "the liberal (?) trans movement", unironically describing being transgender as a medical disability and saying that anyone who didn't feel like their being trans was *God's Worst Mistake* is dumb, and holy shit. what is wrong with people?

like, if *your* existence can be described as a mistake and being born in the wrong body, that is absolutely fine! but why are we as a community blaming the despicable actions of the conservative party on each other?? suddenly, pronouns and nonbinary people are the biggest threat ever to "ACTUAL" trans people?? have you stopped to hear yourselves??

ok. let's assume every queer person suddenly agrees that to be trans it is *obligatory* to undergo surgery and take hormones. do you really think that will stop bigoted people from coming for you? in this journey of yours to "stop the fake trans people", you're weakening us all. we are your allies, not the people who want you dead.

wake up.

Just finished my Autumn Leaves pattern in time for November! by Complete-Ambition385

[themarydragon]

This is why “credit the artist” is so critical.

I showed this to my mom. She flipped her shit. Wants the pattern. I clicked the link. Got to the original, which had a link to the pattern. Mom is buying the pattern, artist makes money.

While I’m there, I notice it’s had dozens of hits in the last 24 hours. Why? Because its making rounds on tumblr and somebody credited the artist.

Great job, OP.

[melidammit]

Boost. Nice pattern

trying to point out transphobic roots in movements and ideologies like “mainstream” radical feminism. like that post I made where I tried to point out that the growing anti-plastic surgery sentiments had transphobic undertone and that cosmetic surgeries are a necessary form of healthcare and not always performed just to uphold European beauty standards. everyone was like “why do you hate women?” while simultaneously shaming women who had plastic surgery, elective or therapeutic

[byjove]

and the new age pseudo-progressive “you’ve got this mama your body was made to birth babies you’re a life creator own your powerful pussy energy” trying to point out why that ideology is not only transphobic but reductionist, antifeminist and dangerous

Why is Elon Musk attacking Wikipedia? Because its very existence offends him | Zoe Williams

The X owner has no time for a democratic experiment dedicated to knowledge. He would rather yell puerile ‘jokes’ into the ether, writes Zoe

“…the sight of Elon Musk charging towards Wikipedia with his trademark guile and delicacy was so predictable that it was almost relaxing. He saw a collective resource that people prized and he wanted to hurt it.”

Thoth knows Wikipedia’s not perfect, but I’d sooner have it handy than not have it.

[lynati]

Hey, you know how we spent 7.99 at Tumblr for useless blue checkmarks mainly to spite Musk? Maybe we should go donate the same amount to Wikipedia out of spite. And also because Wikipedia is far more useful than the accurately-named useless blue checks.

I mean, same spite, but actually getting something in return? Sounds like a deal to me...

Critical to the functioning of society, and often underappreciated in that capacity, are a class of people known as perverts. Now, I do not mean pervert in a strictly sexual sense. I mean this to describe a kind of person who gets disproportionate enjoyment and satisfaction out of a niche interest or specialty. Sexual perverts are of course included in this definition, and are quite useful for a variety of purposes, but nonsexual perverts are about as if not more common.

In almost every field and every realm of life you can find a wide variety of perverts for a wide variety of professional paraphilias. There are, for example, a great many food perverts, ranging from coffee perverts (ex. James Hoffman) to meat perverts (ex. Guga Foods) and beyond. There are programming perverts - I suspect that perhaps a majority of programmers, mathematicians and physicists are some variety of pervert. Engineering perverts are almost certainly critical to the profession, what with your train perverts and beam perverts and so on and so forth. Common among many positions are the warfare and tactics perverts, though they do not always contribute as much to their field directly; see Tom Clancy. STEM, however, pales in comparison to the sheer quantity of arts perverts. There are polyrhythm perverts (ex. Adam Neely), production and noise perverts, phonology and grammar perverts, Early Chinese literature perverts, history perverts, etc. And of course, needless to say, sexual perverts also contribute immensely to the arts.

[melidammit]

My name is Meli, and I'm a polyrhythm pervert. It's been 48 seconds since I last thought about polyrhythms.

I mean zero. Zero seconds.

“Why are you so upset about adult content bans? You don’t even post that stuff. can’t you just look at porn somewhere else?”

Well, you see, I have this small problem where my very existence is considered adult content by a small but very powerful group of people and I actually rather enjoy being able to exist in public without restriction so uhhhh put that in your bong and smoke it kiddo.

Extremely good point
