depressed gremlin nightmare man

Canadian dork. Too Old for this. They/them pronouns prefered. I try to keep this relatively light hearted, I am aware the world's complete shit and I just want a place to mostly chill. BUT I am but a trash white person, if ever I say/do something shitty FOR THE LOVE OF THE HOLY MOOSE LET ME KNOW! Don't even have to be nice about it. Tags I use : personal, nsfw, actual hockey (if you wanna blacklist!) Also feel free to talk to me! I am usually bored.

[anxietyproblem]

[creekfiend]

I wonder if people who get caught up in pushing for "more legal consequences" for people with "fake service dogs" know they're being tricked into chipping away at the ADA

The ADA is written like that on purpose. Our disabled activist elders were not stupid. They knew that the extremely lax rules might be easy to exploit and they made it that way anyway because they would rather have people exploit them than have ANY DISABLED PERSON be gatekept out of exercising their legal rights by being forced to jump thru hoops.

[creekfiend]

It's always going to be preferable to have some airhead lie about their little terrier being a support dog so they can get it on a plane for free than for ANY person who is disabled in ANY WAY to be kept from exercising their (STILL REALLY REALLY LIMITED, TBH) rights as laid out in the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Always.

Someone: hires a woman

Men: “THIS IS LITERAL OPRESSION”

[spacemonkeyg78]

The automatic assumption that recruiting women equals hiring less qualified people is some serious sexism at work.

i’ve seen a lot of good character dynamics on my dash recently but there’s an excellent one i think you’re all forgetting: two people who are the smart, sensible voices of reason respected by their peers for their level-headedness and intelligence when they’re apart, but who turn into unholy chaotic disasters with zero impulse control as soon as they join forces

like they each have an IQ of 160+ but whenever they’re together they cancel each other out and regress to utter Dumbass Bastard Mode™️

Hey quick note to all my trans sisters;

I love you

You’re absolutely beautiful

No, your voice is not “too deep”

Wear whatever you want

Yes, you are passing. And, even if you aren’t,

You’re still a trans woman regardless of how well you pass

You’re 100% allowed to look and/or act masculine. You’re still a wonderful, real woman

Nobody gets to say otherwise

[feyrealms]

I agree john mulaney is probably an immortal akin to beings such as keanu reeves and jeff goldblum but he’s like a new born baby immortal who is looking at the long long expanse of a lifetime he has in front of him and is already tired

[newtgeiszler]

jeff golblum is thousands of years old and loving it. john mulaney was born in 1901 and ever since 1924 it’s gone downhill for him

[wombatking]

So to be clear, the immortal timeline seems to be:

John Mulaney - early 20th century

Eric Andre - Probably 17th century or so.

Taika Waititi - Elizabethan age, probably hung out with Shakespeare

Keanu Reeves - We think sometime around Alexander the Great, but he seems to have just sprung up fully formed.

Jeff Goldblum - 100% Biblical times, may or may not be King Solomon.

Tommy Wiseau - Indeterminate, may be the first Homo Sapiens.

Who are the female immortals?

[artisanbloodbank]

Jenny Slate - Jazz Age Darling, bffs with Alice Roosevelt

Helena Bonham Carter - Refused an invitation to dine with Queen Victoria based on her treatment of the Irish

Lucy Liu - ran away from home to join Ching Shih, 19th century Pirate Queen’s crew. Was considered too soft for fighting and was given an accordion

Bjork - 14th century Icelandic healer accused of witchcraft, also possibly a selkie

Whoopie Goldberg - present during the Conquest of Constantinople but don’t bring it up around her, it’s too fresh in her mind

Tilda Swinton - found sleeping in a peat bog. Carbon dating inconclusive

[tamjador-deactivated20231120]

this is blatant cher erasure

So this implies that if Batman dies, Alfred Pennyworth is going to shoot every supervillain in Gotham twice

Part of his background was being a spy, so he will likely nail each of them when they least expect it.

so i was talking to my grandmother about old-school video games and she was all “y'know there was one game i used to play, and it had like a maze, and it was underground, and there was a guy in first person and he had a weapon” so knowing her penchant for puzzle games, i started guessing like myst, or legend of grimrock so we start hunting through these 90’s-era games featuring dungeon crawls. turns out. it was not a puzzle game. it was nothing close to a puzzle game. apparently, in the mid-90s, my grandmother would sit down and play fucking Wolfenstein 3D and listen to AC/DC for like hours on end.

[dikubutto]

Au contraire, the puzzle was “how to kill Nazis” and the answer was “use gun”

[fdsfjdsfjkf93723679267-deactiva]

cis people be like. i would rather my loved one die than transition and be happy because it would be easier on me, the most important person in this situation, the cis person

[fdsfjdsfjkf93723679267-deactiva]

cis people also be like. i love you but i need you to know if you live your true self i will always think of you as dead. and if you become happier i will consider your happy self a stranger. this is so hard on me. i am the victim.

One of my favourite parts of working with kids is like… Very Gently subverting their idea of gendered topics… Like if a girl goes ‘no, sharks are a boy thing’ and you go “UM ACTUALLY THATS STUPID AND INCORRECT” they get freaked out, but if instead u go “Are you sure? Cause I think sharks are awesome, here’s a scale picture of a Megalodon” it’ll blow their tiny mind and they’ll be shitting themselves over it for days. 100% effective, 10/10 recommend

[tiny-super-giant]

Good example of this happened in a class I taught recently. Kids were making predictions about a text we’d be studying based on an illustration of the character: boy with spiky blonde hair wearing a pink football kit.

The first kid to respond said, “I think this is a girl that likes to play football.” I said “what gave you the idea that the character is a girl?” Obviously they pointed out the pink, to which I replied how pink was one of my fave colours and they just looked at me wide-eyed. Then the next said, “No it’s got to be a boy. He’s got short spiky hair.” Of course, I then listed all the female people they might’ve heard of who also have short spiky hair and, honestly, the puzzled looks on their little faces were priceless.

Anyway, they continued to debate which gender the character was using phrases like: “but he … and look at his …” or “so why is she … and maybe her …” which was the point I decided to stop them and ask: “If we can’t be sure whether the character is a he or she, should we really be using those pronouns?” And I kid you not, without any persuasion from me and after only the briefest of discussions, these children unanimously agreed that the best pronoun to use would be “they” until they knew their gender for certain. They then continued their discussion using gender neutral terms throughout without any fuss whatsoever. And these are 6 and 7 year olds.

Hey the message of this post is great and all but ‘a scale picture of a meglodon’ what the f u CK

I get messages like this one every now and then. I understand if you don’t do something, you don’t really know what goes into it, so.. sure!~ Step one. Buy all the above. (Well, I mean, it doesn’t have to be that exact stuff, but you asked what I used, so there you go). Step two. Learn to sew. Learn to digitize. Digitize your embroidery. Test. Test again. Test again. Make a bear pattern. Tweak. Make another. Tweak. Make another. And anotherrrr. And on, and on, and on.. (seriously, see the prototyping bear pile photo above).  Embroider design. Cut pieces. Sew pieces. Stuff. Assemble. Add hand stitched elements.  So all that = Cap bear. The above is what I used/you need and the cost of making a Cap bear, starting from scratch. I’m sorry you think I’m charging too much for my work. I hope you find making one yourself more to your budget.

THIS IS THE BEST RESPONSE

[ahumanbeena]

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

[shwetanarayan-deactivated202504]

so I believe it was actually more complicated than that, in interesting ways. Because at first, when they did blind auditions, they were STILL hiring more men.

…Then they put down a carpet, so that high heels didn’t clack on the floor,  and BOOM women were suddenly getting hired.

The testers didn’t even know that’s what they were picking up on, which just goes to show how tiny of a cue it takes for misogyny to kick in.

[isaacsapphire]

The case of blind auditions for orchestras and how it dramatically changed the gender makeup of orchestras is a very illuminating example of gender bias, and an interesting possible way of countering it.

[small-witch-big-hat]

You can be sexist without knowing it. You can be racist without knowing it. This is not a moral failing; it is a moral imperative to remember that you are fallible, and take steps to limit the damage your squishy ape brain’s foibles can cause.
