I never thought I would be siding with the pope’s involvement in politics and cheering him on. I will say that.

have you guys heard about wizard101 getting hacked the other day. ive never once played the game in my life but whatever happened there is absolutely hilarious

trainerdawn

since making this post i have been informed about a few key points of this that i missed:

KingsIsle claims the person who sent out the hacked messages was actually not an employee

wizard101 memberships are free to all for the rest of September 2022 as compensation for this event

lots of people have let me know that i forgot to add one of the funniest parts of all of this:

i cannot do another round of "is shaving feminist?" discourse again, i simply cannot do it. is shaving feminist? no! do feminists shave their bodies? yes! is this a deep betrayal of principles? not really! do some women actually shave for the mythical "sensory reasons"? well, considering that my number one reason for shaving my legs in the summer is because my ceiling fan blows on the hair and i'm constantly having mini freakouts that i've got a bug crawling on me, i'd imagine some do! is it okay for a woman to say to herself "i realize i'm mostly doing this because i don't want to be treated worse by people in the world who find my unshaven legs disgusting, but i'm still going to do it because i don't think suffering for no reason is virtuous" and shave? yes! will yelling at her to "think critically about her choices" until she agrees with you actually work? no! does any of this make it any easier to get an abortion in this country? nope! have we replaced the "is this pop star a feminist?" discourse of the 2010s with "are your personal choices antithetical to the tenets of feminism?" discourse in the 2020s, none of which is conveniently focused on the actual loci of power?? hahahahahahaaaaa

This is probably a little too much nuance, but whenever I see a "all borders are violence" post (a political position I generally agree with!) I always add a little asterisk that says "*but the border checks that keep you from bringing homegrown produce into big agricultural areas to avoid the transmission of parasites and invasive species are actually fine and if we were more vigilant about that kind of thing maybe we wouldn't have spotted lanternflies in the states."

That doesn't work as well as a slogan, though

Things borders should be for:

Biosecurity

Customs management (you do not want people importing a bunch of stuff that doesn't meet your country's safety standards, for example)

Things like that one lake in Europe where three national borders coincide and they built an island specifically so you can run between countries for fun

Things borders shouldn't be for:

Policing who can and can't come into a country

I have a baby cousin who's Two Spirit.

Their parents are leftists, open minded, pro LGBTQ+, learned to use the right pronouns (to their face at least) all that jazz.

Their Auntie grew up in a remote area, little old fashioned, doesn't really "get" the non binary thing, and hasn't quite got the hang of the singular 'they' yet. But she tries.

When my cousin got injured and couldn't drive their parents shrugged and told them to quit their job.

Their Auntie drove them to and from work every day until they got their cast off.

Which family member do you think they'll ask next time they need help?

Do you want to be ideologically perfect, or do you want to help?

I want every ad on the subway to be this one. And then I want this also posted elsewhere. And then I want people who don’t use earbuds or headphones while listening to music or watching their videos in public to have their phones explode in their hands and faces. Or they get shunned and banned from public spaces.

my work campaigning for NHS reform for trans people has gotten me nominated for Amnesty's People's Human Rights Champion

it's a major honour just to be on this list - MICHAEL ROSEN???! HELL YEAH??!

it's public vote, you can vote from anywhere, and ngl winning it would really help with some future projects I've got going on. BUT there are some very deserving names on the list so, I guess vote your conscience?

do vote though, it takes 10 seconds on the link below

The Amnesty Media Awards honours those who use their platform to shine a light on human rights stories. Vote for who you think should win it

I've seen a lot of people reblogging this as a shitpost but it actually is ~technically~ true, if you're willing to give the literal text "lentils.com" a bit of leeway. The modern DNS or "Domain Name System" wasn't established until 1985, and was created to establish human-readable addresses for IP addresses, so you didn't have to know the actual IP address of the website you wanted to visit. In other words, you don't need to call up the world carrot museum and ask for their IP address in order to visit their website, you can just go to worldcarrotmuseum.co.uk.

HOWEVER, the DNS system wasn't created whole-cloth, it was based on a library topic-categorization system that predated the dewey decimal system and was widely used across private and government libraries in england and, later, the united states. The system was called the Index Dominiorum, or "Register of Domains," and was pioneered by the Library of Oxford in 1731. It's first ever use was for the tracking and maintenance of agricultural records for major staple crops, with the list distinguishing between commercial and independently-grown crops, as subsistence farming was still how a lot of people got their food in england at the time. In this register of crop reports, one of the first (not the actual first first) records added to the list was a report on the production of commercial lentils, labeled "lentils, com." Because that same core registration system was used as the basis for the DNS nearly 3 centuries later, it can be argued that "lentils.com" was one of the first domains ever registered, along with similar commercial crop names like "barley.com", "rye.com", and "bulgur-wheat.com". Unfortunately, none of this is true, and i did just make it all up.

Inevitably as someone very loud about their interest in Queen, I have been asked a few times whether I saw and/or liked the movie. Each time I say 'yes, and it's terrible.' And each time I get the response 'oh, well, some stories are hard to translate into a film, you have to forgive it a little bit.' I don't, and I won't. Bohemian Rhapsody sucks as a movie, Nothing will change my mind.

On the 1 hand, nearly every movie must have a plot of some kind: there’s a main character or 2 & they have to accomplish some goal, face challenges, & likely prevail.

And it’s gonna be impossible to show Freddie’s life in a standard hero’s journey kinda way cuz he died young of something he didn’t have much control over. It’s gonna be an absurdly depressing movie to end with him in character dying & wouldn’t feel narratively satisfying even if it’s what happened

So it can’t just be the pure, actual story of “band works hard and eventually makes it big, they argue but it’s no one person’s problem, & then Freddie dies.” There’s no climax or specific conflict in there.

What the movie ended up doing with that was ridiculous. Turns out the rest of the band were reasonable people & Freddie was jealous & torn away from them by drugs & Paul Prenter. Freddie has to learn the error of his ways (ie having a solo career) & grovel to them.

I think the movie had a kernel of a good idea in it with the idea of Jim as a guy who liked him for being him, not for his fame or money. They fucked it up by making Jim hired help. The actual story is so cinematic, it’s preposterous they didn’t leave it as is. But the idea of Freddie growing as a person by finding someone who doesn’t care that he’s famous is accurate as far as I can tell & it works for the story.
