how it is apparently

This tweet means a lot to me.

[ambienne]

It’s probably a really cool and good sign that this post I made in 2014 is going around again, right?

[tepkunset]

I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

[phinarei]

A lot of cis people are treating her like an actress who pushes diet culture or a singer who is too sex forward for their tastes. Like she's an inconvenience to their moral comfort instead of the existential threat she is.

She is not that.

She is Elon Musk. She is Trump. She is a powerful monster with the money to end lives.

Giving her money and creating a demand for her books by engaging in fandom should be seen the same way owning a cybertruck is seen. Harry Potter gear is in the same category as MAGA gear.

I need to see the same disgust and outright hatred of her that I see about all the evil men in her category. I don't know if people see her as less dangerous because she's a woman or if people are worried that hating on a woman will get their feminist card revoked, but she needs to be taken more seriously by a lot of people. She's a big name heavy hitter with more money than anyone should be allowed to have.

This isn't a scandal, it's a genocide.

Imagine being so braindead that you think the UK being one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world is a good thing 🤡

[the-perfect-wagnerite-again]

wtf are you talking about, they didn't "deplete" the nature of their country, they cultivated their wilderness over centuries into some of the most idyllic pastoral landscapes in the entire world. And they did such a good job of it that the phrase "English countryside" is now synonymous with beauty and serenity and peacefulness. They didn't destroy their country's nature, they became its caretaker, they're right to be proud of it. All you're doing is pretending that the only kind of nature that should count is whatever is completely untouched by human hands.

[is-the-fox-video-cute]

The UK is literally ranked in the bottom 10% of most nature-depleted countries in the world. The 2023 State of Nature report shows just how dire the situation is. A third of UK bird species have declined since the 1990s, 97% of the UK's wildflower meadows have been lost since the 1930s, raw sewage is constantly being pumped into our rivers and seas with agricultural slurry also causing massive damage to rivers, three quarters of Britain's hedgehogs have been lost in the past 20 years and UK butterfly numbers are at their lowest ever, a sign of impending ecosystem collapse. Plus people in Britain are the most disconnected from nature in Europe.

Not to mention over populated deer destroying what little is left due to a lack of predators, 60 million non-native birds released for sport shooting every year, plus huge amounts of wildlife crime, including large numbers of birds of prey being shot/poisoned.

There is nothing beautiful about a sterile, ecologically damaged landscape that contains nothing but sheep and deer. Don't comment on something you clearly know nothing about. I live in England. I can see first hand just how dire the situation is.

It's important to note that Chekhov's Gun was not originally about foreshadowing, but a piece of advice to playwrights about how every element in a play should have narrative relevance. The corollary to Chekhov's Gun is that if a gun mounted on the wall in act 1 is never used at all in the entirety of the play, then it should be omitted from the play entirely.

[im-mender]

also very true

Holy fuck

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

Better Box Fan Air Purifier

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

[runcibility]

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

[turtlesandfrogs]

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

[objectconstancy]

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I’ve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume it’s a fair bit better.)

[flunkyofmalcador]

This trick works. We use it in my house.

We need more women characters who are Male Protagonists. You know. Slightly haggard. She's splashing cold water on her face and gripping the edge of the sink staring in the mirror for a minute. She's coping badly with her deadwife

[tlirsgender]

Ok listen I get that people tagging posts with men is a rule of physics on this hellsite but it's kind of bizarre how badly some of you have failed the assignment on this one. A generic male protagonist archetype who is a man is nothing. That's just the normal cliche I'm talking about subverting. What?

[tlirsgender]

Like if you are For Serious headcanoning your blorbo as a trans woman I am kissing you on the head. But I KNOW most of you are not doing that. Come on. For one dollar name a fictional woman. No being a loser does not make him a woman try again

[depsidase]

[oifaaa]

Honestly dont know where to begin with this one but i'll try

Someone asked how much for mpreg, I needed money, so I held an mpreg raffle where people could enter by sending money and the name of the person they wanted pregnant, count binface won(?), I started questioning if it even counts as Mpreg since count binface is famously an alien from outerspace

If you'd like to help me stay away from mpreg in the future considering donating to my kofi

[i-can-swear]

Vote for the bin, not the trash!

[oifaaa]

I don't think there's a single person actually living in Clacton thats gonna see this post bc im petty sure 80% are all 50+ reform voters but just in case if your in clacton and can vote VOTE BINFACE please

[glitchyvoxel]

It's just The Bargain as it appears in the imperial core. Just like First They Came by Martin Niemöller. "Let it happen, and you won't be next." And most of the time, it's more or less true. Life goes on, for you. You eat today and sleep tonight and get offered The Bargain again tomorrow.

And then one day, it's such a surprise when you're next. No matter who you are, there's only so much time you can buy with the lives of your fellow peons. Sooner or later, you're next.

[isuggestrevolution]

i suggest doing this even if you're not next

[le-guillotine-has-arrived]

I'd like to help 🤗

[calamity-corner]

no afab baby you don't have a "transfem headmate" words mean things

[shehellonmyspawntilisister]

counterpoint this does happen with fictives quite frequently

[calamity-corner]

counterpoint: still not what transfem means

[shehellonmyspawntilisister]

yeah lets not do pluralphobia in our transfeminism

[calamity-corner]

i'm plural, dumbass, i just know what words mean! being "bodily transfem" is the only way to be transfem because we all exist in a body! if a member of a system is a girl and the body they all share was afab then she's cis! because that's what the words mean. i don't care about vibes i care about material realities and there isn't one in which a headmate in an afab body has the lived experience of being transfem, and vice versa.

if she's not speaking "as a transfem", and she's not "bodily transfem", then what the fuck are we even doing here. "trans woman" isn't a different gender from "cis woman", they're both just women. you are very clearly misunderstanding that and that's transmisogyny my friend. there is no gotcha you can catch me in here, you're just wrong. it's okay to be wrong it's just an opportunity to learn. or you can dig your heels in and keep doing transmisogyny, your choice.

[shehellonmyspawntilisister]

you know being an asshole to someone is not a great way to get them to listen to you.

[calamity-corner]

lol. lmao even. tone police her after not listening the first two times, that tracks

[anarchautistic]

The thing about people from other impcore countries shitting on the USA is that a solid 90% of the time it's not hating in solidarity with the rest of the world, it's just trying to feel superior by playing up the USA's flaws to hide your own. "Haha yeah fuck those guys, unlike them we're the *cool* white supremacist xenophobic colonialist nation-state benefitting from global economic disparity."

The only thing worse is when USAmericans try to defend themselves, which usually involves at least some whitewashing of war crimes and, unforgivably, lets the other first worlders feel smug about it

How The Rise of Androgyny Changed Our Passports

The rise of androgyny and unisex fashion in the 1970s was apparently responsible for the introduction of a sex marker in passports.

[milf--adjacent]

Oh wow so me saying "no government documentation should ever include a gender marker for any reason" has been right all along. For exactly the reason I stated when people were giving me shit for not supporting x markers on documents.

[capsfromtrek]

[rabbitkinglune777]

I think more non binary characters should be fat

[rabbitkinglune777]

fat and black and brown 👍🏾

[rabbitkinglune777]

kinda tired of non binary being tied to skinny androgyny that's mostly white. I say that's as a non binary transmasc/boy thing who's fat and black.

being non binary can look like anything and anyone but especially individuals who have different body types outside of thin. they can have body/facial hair too. show up for all enbies.

[transhuman-priestess]

I don’t want to make it sound like there are “good” billionaires or like the United States just builds them better, but I’d like to point out that the three biggest names in Silicon Valley’s reactionary turn, Peter Theil, David Sacks, and Elon Musk, are all Afrikaners.

[transhuman-priestess]

Actually I’d like to further point out that Theil was born in West Germany, and his parents moved specifically to Swakopmund, South West Africa (modern Namibia) a town noted for a particular veneration of the Nazis among its white population.

[transhuman-priestess]

Like, I’m not kidding here.

i just got the "see where your blood has gone!" email from giving blood but it glitched and just showed me my current location. which. theyre not wrong. that is where most of my blood is

[tarragonthedragon]

this is exactly how non kinsters sound when they jump into kink discussions to say "yeah! it's fine as long as you're all consenting adults!"
