Getting up at 6 am IRL: aw fuck itās so early oh my god
Getting up at 6 am in an rpg: *banging pots and pans together in front of the cobblerās shop* WAKEY WAKEY THE SUN IS UP I WANT SOME SHOOOOOOOES
customers the same in all universes
this is it. this is the best response iāve ever received on this post. everyone pack up, go home, weāre done here
Hey. Hey, you. The people who have a strong preference for the explicit and smutty side of fandom. Youāre super valid and are doing nothing wrong by having sexuality be your main focus. Sexuality being important to you doesnāt make you a creep, youāre not objectifying people because you prefer to explore charactersā and shipsā sexual lives and preferences. Sex is not shameful. Donāt let anyone try to shame you for celebrating and loving sexuality. Sex and smut have been an important part of fandom throughout itās whole history. You donāt have to meet any silly quota of non-sexual fandom interests.
Thereās still so much sex negativity in the world. People can have sex negative opinions without even realizing because theyāve grown up in such a repressive and conservative culture. Fandom has always been a place to escape that repressive culture.
And always remember, you donāt owe anyone an argument or debate.
found this on reddit thought id post it here too š
I think this explains a lot of trans discourse on here, too. Well, a lot of queer culture generally. Realizing youāre personally trans doesnāt mean all the dumb gender stuff you were raised with goes āpoofā and vanishes from your mind. Until you put in the work, youāve still got all the old crap in there, it just has a big ābut trans!ā sticker slapped on it.
i need white people to understand that the reason that we are here in nazi america today is because many of you cannot comprehend liberation for all because of your distaste for some.
the lack of actively dismantling your anti-blackness means that you are passively participating in white supremecy.
a party of adventurers that are all equally convinced that they are in completely different forms of media
the mage keeps giving smug glances in the direction they assume a camera is in. the fighter keeps getting indignant about missing attacks because of "bad dice rolls." the rogue is doubtful that a villain is gone for good because "nobody ever stays dead in comics." the paladin attributes fortune to "good rng." none of them have even considered that "tumblr post" was an option
I find it really interesting how well some mechsploitation writing captures the feeling of a machine being an extension of the body.
I'm a full-time wheelchair user and can say from experience, it *is* my legs. After a while the brain just registers it as part of you.
If something is damaged or calibrated wrong, it feels like walking with a limp. Unusual noises feel like they're coming from your joints. It's deeply intimate and sometimes unsettling when someone reaches into the mechanisms you can't see to adjust something or make repairs.
While obviously it has no sense of touch, someone laying their hands on it feels deeply personal, and invasive if they do so without permission.
Even when I'm not in it, seeing people handle it feels strange, like an out-of-body experience seeing someone handling your limp form.
I can't stay in my chair all the time. It doesn't recline and has little padding so I get sore after long periods, and my country is also quite bad for wheelchair access. With help and a cane I can walk very short distances and transfer to a regular chair. But it's a strange kind of nakedness and helplessness without it. I've seen no better description of that feeling than the way pilots are portrayed outside of their mechs.
systematically blocking people on here does give you very funny insight into the fact that almost invariably every single pronouns in bio "leftist" anticommunist fandom poster on here is like At Most two degrees removed from a reichblr chud
I was telling a dude about a TTRPG project I'm working on where you play as wizards whose magic is incapable of harming living beings, so you must find non-violent methods of solving violent situations, and his immediate response was, "You're alienating too many players! The game should be about finding loopholes in the magic rules so you CAN kill people!"
I don't think I've ever had such a visceral reaction to a single sentence.
That is some incredible bean soup-ification in action. Go make your cool thing for the people who want it!
Recently tried to explain my game where everyone dies by the end of a session or campaign to the local adventurers league and they think that it's unbalanced and unfair to players.m because they can't "Win"

The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. Theyāre everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, Iām going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
I know it feels like a lot but I really believe we can do it 20k notes per day isnāt that hard to do?
Here's the original post (on FB, alas)
[ID: Screenshots of a Facebook post of user Zed Potts on April 3rd, 2026 at 8:10 PM reading:
The one thing about Al that most people don't seem to get, the really critical thing, is that this whole thing isn't a "tech miracle" it's just the wal-mart scam. When wal-mart moves into town, the first thign they do is they run a bunch of sales, for years and years.
not because they care. Not because they just really wanna help. But because they really want to drive every single store that sells the same things they sell out of business. And because they don't really want to (and can't really compete) on the quality front, they do this by just leveraging deep pockets to offer really, really, really cheap prices. They do two things with this: First, they close every single other business that sells the things they sell. Second, they manage to get everyone used to shittier versions of the stuff they used to have higher standards on - it may not be as good, but hey, it's cheap, and who can complain these days?
Al art costs a LOT to make, and it costs way way way more to build the machine models that make it, and this money all goes straight to creating a bunch of waste power, heat, and pollution. It's the anti-environmentalist effect your mother told you about. But it's virtually free to you to use right now, even for the paid services. Do you know why?
Because they want you to use it. They're trying to kill off every source of news writing, picture painting, song singing, book writing, movie making, library storing, lesson teaching, code writing, information sharing, community building, thought thinking they can POSSIBLY manage to replace with worse (but cheaper) versions that can run through machines they run
and then they can charge you for it, and get BACK some money for the billions and billions and billions of dollars that they keep pouring into this stuff.
The people who build this stuff aren't your friend. This product isn't cool. It's not "no big deal" when you share an Al thought, or project, or message - it's about you willingly hopping on board with the people who want to kill everything you love so they can run a zombie robot version of it that they can rent to you later when it's all you have left. this isn't a "conspiracy". It's not secret. It's just the fucking plan and it's right out there in the open and these people even say it out loud if you'd start listening.

Mostly accurate, but what I'm missing here is that a lot of these AI's don't want to charge YOU for it.
They want to get you hooked in AI as your main search engine and then charge advertisers to determine the results when you ask for the best new smartphone.
They want to get you hooked on putting all your e-mails through AI and then charge companies for your data, your most private thoughts.
And of course they want to get states, military and big coorporations hooked on AI and then charge them a fortune. So your taxes go to an AI that decides which neighborhoods to police, who to accuse of insurance fraud, and who to kill by drone (already all happening now).
Plenty of these services might continue to be free for you because you are the product.
Importantly this is also the autodesk / solidworks scam.
Students are being drowned in free AI tools to help them study, write, cheat, date, everything in their lives is AI right now because the pressure for colleges to increase rigor and maintain their credibility has never been higher which means that degrees are built on drop out rates, failures to finish, and the blood of the lower classes who can't cross that gateway.
Students are learning how to do jobs and work as professionals with these tools and when companies are designing processes and making purchasing decisions, these tools will be bedrock to those students.
And the period where experienced laborers with better skills might compete with them for those roles is being drowned in the first waves corporate rollouts and layoffs.
Companies that want to produce will have to have AI for their workers in a few years, not because it can't be done, but because it won't be possible with the current generation of graduates.
has anybody else noticed that the classic sci fi novel Donāt Create The Torment Nexus features a Torment Nexus? thatās pretty problematic of the author
the main character eventually recognizes the torment nexus is bad but by that point I had already stopped reading the book because I don't condone the torment nexus, the narrative really should've condemned it outright :/
Like a month ago I messaged a craft group about accessibility for wheelchairs and the answer I got was āthereās a lot of stairs but we have cute boys who can carry youā. And itāsā¦not good. As a wheelchair bound person I largely depend on people when I want to go out and do *anything* so Iām used to it, I laugh it off, make an annoyed post about it and off I go. But I wanna just say a thing real quick.
Even if I wasnāt gay, wasnāt a survivor scared of men, getting help as a disabled person is justā¦Not a pleasant thing to us! Imagine for a sec how youād feel being carried up a flight of stairs. Youāre a grown person. Youāre being touched in an awkward way. Youād rather do it yourself. Youāre So Uncomfortable. Itās not where I look for the beginning of a romantic relationship. So likeā¦could abled people stop doing this thing where they think helping us in a condescending and infantilizing way is cute? Cause Iām real tired. Just get me a ramp or lift and Iām cool. I donāt need a dating service when Iām just trying to go about my day
If youāre abled please reblog it cause likeā¦the more ppl knows the better
Reblogging to boost signal
(Also, people who use wheelchairs are not the only people who have problems with stairs - anyone whoās using a cane, or crutches, or who just has dodgy knees is gonna wish you had access to a lift, a ramp, or some other place to meet).
Will the cute boys help you if youāre visibly not interested? Will the cute boys remember to help you in case of fire?
I see a lot of posts on tumblr about how horrible ozempic is. I always feel weird disagreeing. But I think it's important to talk about why I disagree.
Ozempic is not, as many people, including my previous doctor, would say, an appetite suppresant. It is a GLP-1 agonist. The primary function of an agonist is to bind to its respective organic compound to promote secretion of hormones - in this case, insulin. Its presence in the body also decreases glucagon. GLP-1, like most hormones, is complex, and what it does to the body is complex. A side effect of increased GLP-1 activity is reduced appetite.
The reduced appetite is a *side effect* not the purpose, and for people like me who take ozempic to treat for diabetes, it's been life-changingly helpful.
I do not want a world in which ozempic is banned because it's a "weight loss drug" because it's not. I do not appreciate the posts about how serious the side effects are, because it's the safest diabetes medication on the market. I do not consider people posting things with the tag "anti-ozempic" to be my allies, because that reductive view on medicine is the same all or nothing mentality as doctors that refused to treat me for ten years because I was fat.
Has Novo Nordisk done some shitty things regarding advertising and scarcity? Yes they have. Is using ozempic for the sole purpose of weight loss bad? Absolutely. But I think it's really, really important that we stay clear and consistent about why.
Taking away life-saving medication from people with a debilitating lifelong condition in the name of thinness has and will kill people. Fatphobia is often also ableism. Ozempic helps people like me, people with diabetes, live their lives. And the fact that my voice has been drowned in a sea of healthy people complaining about "ozempic face" is the problem. The fact that Novo Nordisk started marketing their product as a weight loss medicine knowing they wouldn't be able to keep up with demand is the problem. Ozempic itself is not the problem.

Me, tears streaming down my face, sobbing, as I stare at the stars: itās just so beautiful
The medieval peasant I went back in time to give a bag of Doritos to, concerned: what terrible and powerful sorcerers they must have in your age, to be able to veil the vault of heaven itself from view, as you say
Me, sniffling: I didnāt realize, I canāt, itās so much, I, Iā¦ are the chips good, at least?
Medieval peasant, trying to make me feel better: theyāreā¦ magical, strange traveler
