Another “Lake comforting Jesse” comic!! This time a little more… Personal? Well, I’m thinking a lot these days about my childhood memories and how being undiagnosed really sucks. When you’re a kid you just think you’re different and worse than everybody. So everything Jesse is doing and saying here is something I actually did! It’s just that I really relate to him and making things like that makes me better.

'Black Mirror' director turns down offer to work on 'Harry Potter' series: "Absolutely fucking not"

Black Mirror director Ally Pankiw rejected an opportunity to work on HBO's Harry Potter series because of J.K. Rowling's views on gender. 

"It simply is this easy to say no to funding transphobia"

this is amazing - $31.30 is, at this moment, the equivalent to $22.26 USD

[gayvampyr]

[ID:

The changes will take effect from 17 August and have been praised by the Transport Workers' Union.

(2): The standards, released on Tuesday, stipulate that on-demand delivery workers must be paid a minimum rate of $31.30 or up to $32 per hour, depending on the type of vehicle used. The order also specifies that delivery platforms must insure workers for on-the-job injuries.

top notch interaction I had with the ambulance crew after my accident a couple years back:

paramedic: hi, I'm Allan

me: you told me. and your colleague is Jim, and the man who found me is Peter. guess my short-term memory is okay

Allan: ..are you doing a cognitive function test on yourself

[dragon-in-a-fez]

Allan, two minutes later, putting a third blanket around me: okay, how's that feeling now

me: well my feet are still freezing but it's okay, I know you need to focus on getting my core temperature up first

Allan: how many times has this happened to you

[dragon-in-a-fez]

noteworthy that they literally had a mask on me hooked up to a tank pumping narcotics into my lungs through all this, and my body temperature was like 34°. I would have been doing well to just have both eyes pointed in the same direction

“it’s also good to learn that life isn’t fair!” i don’t WANT children to accept unreasonable discipline from adults!! i don’t WANT children to expect the adults in their lives to punish at random and ignore their explanations!! the world isn’t fair but we could sure work to make it fairer

Sorry to everyone who’s enjoyed the last 130 years of science and culture journalism, but Disney needs the money to fund Toy Story 9

The slow death of interesting things for the sake of unceasing cancerous growth and ephemeral content.

[beaft]

the phrase "but i didn't mean to!" in the context of causing harm is kind of redundant to me, because almost nobody means to cause harm. most of us just want to do the right thing. and i don't mean that in a wishy-washy "oh, we're all good deep down" way, i mean that even people who regularly do the most heinous shit imaginable will have a way of justifying it to themselves. the world is not populated by hollywood sadists and psychopaths.

heres an article on voices beyond violence saint lucia from the caribbean feminists so you can learn about their mission

Piercing the Silence: Young Feminists are Raising Their Voice Against Femicide in St Lucia

An interview with the team behind Voices Beyond Violence St. Lucia, a youth-led movement for justice.

i feel a little nervous choosing an org thats so new for donations but while there are other organizations tackling gender based violence in saint lucia, none are really focused on legislation like vbv is. being a resource when someone faces gender based violence is great but im someone who takes a more systemic approach to things and i thought an organization actively working to get a femicide law on the books is more in line with that.

profits from this sticker ↓ are donated to voices beyond violence. if you are interested.

oh bondage vinyl sticker

up yours! 3.5 inch metallic vinyl sticker inspired by the x-ray spex song of the same name. profits from this sticker will be donated to voi

I genuinely wonder if people realize how many projects get abandoned because the readership "wasn't there", when in reality, the readership just stayed silent. It's a big thing in trad pub that book series get discontinued because readers pirate the books or wait until the series is finished to buy a copy, leading the publisher to think that nobody actually wants the book enough to continue the series, but it happens with indie creators too.

I've discontinued a lot of free, online series because it's not worth putting 3-5 hours a week into posting a project for no readers. Sometimes I finish the series for me but just never post it again, other times I don't finish it at all because it feels more worthwhile to put my time into other things. Sometimes I hear from readers who are sad or upset that I didn't finish something they were liking, but the *reason* it never got finished is because I didn't know anyone liked it. If you like something, tell the creator, tell your friends, make some noise about it. If you would be sad if a story never finished, make that interest known because one of my biggest considerations before discontinuing a series is "will people miss this? Will I be letting people down" and 9/10 times, I come to the conclusion of "no, it doesn't even seem like anyone's reading this" only to learn after I've moved on that apparently someone was.

[healerqueen]

I've said this before in a different way, and this post said it so well. With real examples. If you like something, tell people.

If you want more content from an artist or author, if you like their stuff, tell them. It will give them creative fuel to keep going. And often it gives them other resources as well. Recommend a work to other people. Leave a comment or a review. It doesn't have to be long, just genuine, a sentence or two. Not many people know that a book's success is judged by book reviews as well as sales. Review the book on Amazon or another site to help it pass the metric of success and be recognized by publishers and retailers.

toxic yuri is excusable because it’s women and i like those but if a man did that then we should kill him. you agree.

[becquerel]

ok i feel crazy reading through the tag for sinners because theres this very weird pervasive notion that it seems like people do not understand remmick and his kkk member first victims are in fact lying repeatedly throughout the movie. like they lie. we know they lie because they promise all they want is to come inside and play music for the juke joint. that is not true at all as they want to come inside and kill everyone.

so why are there so many posts resting on the notion that they are unable to lie when these same vampires say they dont believe in the kkk anymore and just want equality.

[becquerel]

"when remmick de-racist-ifyed the former kkk members" did we watch the same movie. no the fuck he did not. that woman was lying when she said they no longer worked with the kkk. because she wanted to eat the people still inside. good lord.

[bloodonmybarbieshirt]

We established incredibly early on to the movie that the KKK lie! It's their main thing! They lie that the vampire ain't in their house, they lie that the Klan is gone, they lie about that musician to lynch him in a train station. Folks ain't got no media literacy.

[becquerel]

yes exactly! + this reply too

there's a huge theme of historical lying to black americans to exploit and kill them. the devil is smarter than to look scary for his victims!

[creatingblackcharacters]

FINALLY someone brings up how they were lying about the Klan from jump! We literally saw the dudes Klan robes in the house before/when the Choctaw hunters were chasing Remmick down! They dead just didn't pay attention to anything in the movie!

One of my favorite things about working with very young children is that because

a) young children tend to do a lot of copying the behaviors around them, and

b) most of the people hanging around them are taking care of kids (them)

a lot of little kids REALLY want to take care of slightly littler kids. Today a toddler barely over a year old kissed a baby a couple months younger than him, tried to wipe his nose, and tried to feed him a toy apple. A couple kids older than Him then started trying to put him in a toy shopping cart to take him shopping. There's a 3yo who always tries to steal the babies' milk bottles to feed them. A 4yo tried to give a baby his own bottle once. A toddler too young to know any words yet will shush me if any of the little babies are laying down to sleep.

Obviously we can't allow most of that but it always kills me 😭 their age is the standard and anyone younger than them is Actually a baby

[princesonic]

I dunno, stop apologizing for your art. This includes not posting enough, too much, changing style, inconsistent style, repetition, subject. Its your art its your expression. Have fun.

[creation-help]

Anyway enough seething. Go reblog and compliment your mutuals oc rambles right now. Send them an ask even. If you're feeling avant garde and outrageous send them a dm going "Your ocs are so cool can we play barbies and hit my ocs and your ocs together violently. Or sexually. Or humorously."

Human connection can save you and your creative project I'm dead serious. Having caring people around me has been the biggest legitimate creative motivator

desegregate all sports now. no more gendered sports. its stupid

if you absolutely must, in primarily muscle force-based sports, create competitive classes like in boxing except separated by body comp, not just pure body weight. i mean, if you must. this will eliminate any tiny advantages in muscle mass. some will say basketball should have height classes but frankly some of the NBA's most impressive players were not tall so idk that this actually matters ever

the primary athletic impediment to all women is overwhelmingly cultural and psychological. i have won probably half the physical competitions with cis men that i have engaged in, friendly or otherwise. even without the benefit of a lifetime of people trying to make me throw or hit balls, i have won wrestling matches, sparring matches, funny backyard foam sword fights, video games, equestrian activities, dance, endurance tests of various kinds, etc. i'm small and weak. men think theyre stronger and more skilled than they are, women think the opposite about themselves

humans just arent that differently-sized or -shaped, as a species. we have almost no sexual dimorphism at all compared to the vast majority of other mammals.

animals that have similar levels of sexual dimorphism to humans, for example cats, dogs, and horses, do not generally have competitive events segregated by sex. the dog agility trials dont normally have separate leagues for male and female dogs (gendered competitions exist they're just unusual). because it doesnt matter. there is no kentucky derby 2 just for girl horses. thats not a thing

remove all gendered categories from online shopping websites and universalize clothing and shoe sizing. im sick of having to search two entirely different sections of ebay when im just trying to find a nice velvet loafer in size 39 EU. what the hell is "women's clothing"
