I need everyone start responding to people who call criticism of zionism/Israel “antisemitism” by treating those people as antisemitic themselves. As Matt Lieb of Bad Hasbara fame explained very eloquently, calling anti-zionism antisemitism tacitly assigns genocide and apartheid as a Jewish value, which is antisemitic.

the problem with liking video games is that the gaming industry is genuinely so evil and needs to be wiped out

[writingdose]

genuine writers getting wrongly accused of using ai because of witch hunt and proper grammar/structure in their works must be what being a woman in the 1600s who is wrongly accused of being a witch because she can read and is intelligent feels like

the absolute devastating intimacy of a forehead rest. when you are both just so tired from existing in a world that demands you to be a rigid, functional individual, and you finally collapse into each other and just lean your forehead against theirs, or against their shoulder. it’s the physical equivalent of dropping your shields. it’s saying i am entirely heavy right now, and i am trusting you to bear a piece of that weight. and the most beautiful part is that the other person doesn’t even flinch. they just adjust their stance, tuck you a little closer, and absorb the impact. we were designed to divide the burden of being alive.

something I really enjoy is that I've now seen like 4 or 5 variations of roughly this same video, all slightly different in their angles and timing while obviously being the exact same bunny and room, implying that this is a consistent and frequent behavior for this bunny instead of just a funny thing it did once that got caught on camera. I wish I could have as much raw unfiltered enthusiasm for anything as this little rabbit has for its dinnertime

I cannot get over how expensive modern Game Changer eps must be. I mean the staff costs for the latest episode alone.

You might think, "bad music artists are bad because they make bad music." But bad music artists don't make bad music. They expose the fact that all music is fundamentally stupid and terrible. People call them bad for this

[puppygirldick]

Consumer: music artist is bad bc I dont like them

Annoying Art nihilistic: all music is pointless and bad

Musician/artist: appreciates and understands the contribution and influence musicians/artists have made even if they arent their favorite, like Coltrane and contribution to harmony

[hungwy]

Don't reduce my opinion down to "all music is pointless and bad". I also think it's stupid and terrible

if you agree with OP but have never understood why, your experience is generally called musical anhedonia.

recalling a twenty year old experiment

Twenty years ago, a sociologist of science called Harry Collins tried out an experiment. He had been researching the community of physicists who worked on gravity waves for the preceding two decades, trying to get insight into standards of proof and how experimental results were reconciled and interpreted. In furtherance of this project, he had been attending gravity waves conferences, where he was a familiar figure and had lots of friends in the community (because he talked to lots of people, physicists often sought him out to get gossip and news on what other labs were doing and seeing). The experiment was a sort of Turing test – one group of physicists came up with a list of half a dozen questions about gravity waves, and then sent them by email to both Collins and a physicist, with instructions just to answer them from general knowledge rather than looking anything up. A jury of other physicists were then given the job of deciding which set of answers had come from Collins, and which from the physicist. And all but one of the judges identified the sociologist as the physicist. Although extremely funny, this wasn’t actually meant as a practical joke; it was meant to test a serious hypothesis about expertise. Harry Collins theorised that there was a thing called “interactional expertise” (basically the ability to hold a sensible and useful conversation about a subject) which was distinct from “contributory expertise” (he didn’t actually even know enough maths to do gravity wave physics). Deep interaction with a knowledge base and literature could provide one, but it wasn’t the same thing as actually working within the field.

I headcannon that Caine gives everyone in the circus a wardrobe in their bedroom like they had in the beach episode. The humans in the circus do try their best to accept their bodies, but from time to time they do crave control and autonomy over them, especially Zooble.

Of course the 'outfits' are technically skins to their intital base model and are extremely limited and occasionally buggy if they push their bodies base silhouette, but ultimately they are much happier being able to change into outfits that feel familiar to what they used to wear in the outside world.

Pomni's model can't be hatless but now she can choose between a couple of options and she can wear clothes that don't make her feel like the brunt of a joke. She tends to chose between practical and somewhat butch wear that makes her feel more mature. The noir adventure inspired her to get into suspenders more than she normally would have irl. She also wears a lot converse shoes.

Zooble of course takes to this like a fish in water and feels a sense of relief being able to dress in clothes that make them feel more like their old self. They had the hardest time accepting that their old life is something they'll never get back to so wearing flannels and mesh and ripped black denim and leather brings them a lot of comfort. However they do really love that their customizable piercings and tattoos are not permanent and they can switch them around if they want.

Ragatha is the one who ranges the most with her style. Anythinf from frilly girlypop to semi formal to sporty. She grew up in a very controlling environment then started working in real estate with a strict dress code. She's experimenting with personal tastes and out of all the people in the circus she hates her default look the least, in fact she finds her og dress sort of charming because her mother would never let her wear something that has noticable patchwork done.

Gangle suprisingly is the most ambitious with her wardrobe as she customizes herself in elaborate cosplays and she pushes the skins to their ultimate limit. It gets to a point where Caine installs a touch screen panel to her wardrobe with a program that works similar to blender's mesh modeling constructs so she can add "masses" to the skins rather than stretching the skins out past their polygonal elasticity. She gets really good at fucking with physical constructs both inside and outside the wardrobe simply by gaining more intimate knowlege on manipulation and the limitations of the invisible meshes of the circus to the point where she's second only to Caine on what can be done with physical objects. She's not very good at conjuring but if you piss her off and there's no door in front of her she can just lift the wall like a stage curtain and walk under it before slamming it behind her. She's extremely creative about it.

Kinger is the only one who rarely changes his wardrobe. Even in his old life he prioritized comfort over fashion so wearing just his fuffy king robe is fine for him. Between his self appointed job as a chief programmer and working with Caine reguarly to fix bugs and improve the living conditions of the circus, and dealing with his various mental problems he has more pressing things to worry about besides his appearance. He does dress up sometimes whenever he goes to visit Queenie though. Wouldn't want to go on a hot date dressed like a slob after all.
