In hindsight being a “gifted kid” is so funny. You have substantial difficulties with socializing and fine motor skills but we’re going to ignore that because you’re really good at reading chapter books
We don't need to raise this one because it can read novels.
People who interpret "character playlist" as "playlist of songs the character would listen to" as opposed to the good and honorable "playlist that represents the character" are so alien they're chasing me and my cat around the spaceship. That metaphor got away from me. Much like the cat
So wait are livestock guardian dogs to their flocks like… Clark Kent among the residents of Smallville? He’s been here since he was a baby, we all know him, and he’s… generally one-of-us shaped, uh, approximately. And then when something goes wrong he suddenly leaps into action and does some terrifying impossible shit none of us could do. And then comes back home and settles in like nothing happened and he’s one of us again.
Hmm.
HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM.
Actual answer: the sheep know the dogs are not sheep, and they also know the dog is protecting them and take their cues from the dog about whether they need to run for the barn or can just ignore anything scary that approaches.
However, a friend once had an extremely premature orphan lamb born in December who had to live in the house for a couple of months with leg braces and all that, who due to spending her lambhood with dogs instead of sheep came out of the whole experience convinced she was a livestock guardian dog! She would patrol the perimeter of the fields every evening with the actual dog, stand watch in the barn door at night like the dog, and was more than willing to throw down if she saw something scary coming towards the flock the way the guard dog did. Tragically orphaned lamb did a convincing job at being a guard dog without actually having any of the biological advantages a dog has over a sheep.
Which I suppose made her Sheep Batman.

I actually think Portland absolutely has the right idea with showing up to protest in ways that make violence against them look not only unjustified but absolutely ridiculous. Ah yes, the people line dancing in inflatable animal costumes. Terrifying. Clearly pepper spraying the dancing frog guy was totally justified.
I think we need Gothic Lolita protestors. People in Star Trek uniforms. Slap on a pair of short shorts and a Richard Simmons wig and lead some sweating to the oldies.
It may be intentional, it may just be people have always been people- or a combination of both- but tactical frivolity is a thing that has been around since BCE.
It is 100% protest, but it's also showing the ridiculousness of the situation, and the People in Charge usually would rather face a warlord unarmed than be made fun of. And it ruins the "violent, unstable" population myth in an undeniable way.
It's also saying "you may be trying to control us, and our lives have turned to shit because of the things you are doing, but you will never take away our hope and the simple joy of being alive. Even in our darkest hour, we can dance in silly costumes and find our people and become stronger because of it."
Tactical frivolity! Thank you for the term!
Tonight's update from The Oregonian, the Portland newspaper of record since 1850.
there are teenagers today using smartphones who don’t even remember the real gun emoji. they have never experienced it.
Never forget what they took from us
Look how much gun violence this prevented.
sometimes i fucking hate the writing process it feels like pulling teeth or bashing my head repeatedly against a brick wall and i hate everything ive just written and i wish i could just click my fingers and it would be perfectly written and complete just as i imagine
that being said i will still absolutely never fucking touch generative ai because its a cop out built on stolen content and the painful process makes it all worth it in the end
do you ever just wake up, open tumblr and—

Many lgbt teenagers and young adults growing up on the internet today have socially conservative beliefs that they voice at all times that they got from their conservative parents which they’ve never challenged because they think the life experience of being gay or trans makes them politically progressive
This is why I hate it when people say something homophobic and then go “so you’re really accusing me, a whole ass lesbian, of being homophobic 🙄” like yeah
Just because you’re part of an oppressed party does not mean you cannot hold bias against other groups or members of your own group. Bias is learned and ingrained through society and family and it takes real work to unlearn it. No one is perfect, no one is without bias and you are in fact going to fuck up now and again—what matters is if you learn from it and grow.
this is what people are talking about when they say "do the work"
thanks google AI i'll keep that in mind!
OP of hit post "beer before candy hurricane sandy" here. seeing google AI parrot it back to me is sort of like seeing a dead relative's reanimated corpse ykwim
I fuck wit title-only text posts. this shit is like talkin in an apartment hallway loud as fuck out the window
watched a porno where the two guys just kind of noncommittally jerked each other off for what felt like forever and when one of them eventually shot his load the other went "oh shit wtf!" and pogged like he didn't know something like that could even happen but thought it was kind of cool in a scary way
idk sorry
i think in a world where the political right is aggressively trying to portray all trans women as pedophile invaders, making it your job as a trans person to hunt down trans women who you personally believe to be dangerous (based on, let's be real, information gathered through stalking campaigns from people who have nothing but malicious intent) makes you also a fascist
you are not solving a societal problem, you are not attempting to help children by addressing systemic issues that harm them, you are a cop.
you are a tool if you spread callouts about trans people on the internet. i mean this very literally: you make yourself very very useful to people who want trans women to not have any space in society.
Feel like its a good reminder that the easiest way to refute callouts like describes above is to remind them that they are gatekeeping.
"Oh well im making sure this person is decent" gotcha so you're gatekeeping unless they fit your standards.
"They say they're trans but i don't see anything proving it" gotcha so you're gatekeeping because they aren't out enough for you.
"Well i mean, this person may be dangero-" so you're gatekeeping because of their reputation amongst people who may not even have the full story.
Like at the end of the day. How does anything a person does or will do relate to their gender. And why are we as a community so willing to block off anyone who may think of going against the grain. There isnt a "Terms of Service" to gayness or transness that you have to click agree to. There isnt a "rules of the road" for being who you are unabashedly. If you have problems with a person for x y z you have problems with that individual, and not their gender. And to hold their gender up to the public and call it incorrect is no better than any conservative minded individual in this day and age.
