Pikadevil: My Username For Everything

I love realizing how out of date my profile is on here when it has my dead name and i haven’t graduated college yet.

I love getting “your cholesterol looks better than last time, keep at it” coupled with “hey I’m prescribing you iron and a follow up in a couple months to make sure you’re not anemic” in the same paragraph.

So, what you're saying is, under no circumstances should we be reposting the above image as much as humanly possible?

[aqueerkettleofish]

Well, we should certainly make sure that everyone knows about this image, or how will they know not to post it? It's not like "That image of Musk looking like a Nazi" would narrow it down.

The pigs in Mississippi just murdered a baby, A BABY! A ONE YEAR OLD INFANT!

Mississippi officer put on leave after killing baby in car outside Walmart

Protests erupt in Senatobia after one-year-old Kohen Wiley killed after police responded to report of shoplifting

[creatingblackcharacters]

Even if she HAD stolen the diapers... Why are you shooting at someone over diapers. That wasn't because he cared about no damn theft. He wanted to shoot, and he killed a one year old over it.

[Image Description: tweet by QasimRashid, verified. It says "Police killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley on the false claim his mother stole diapers. His killer is on paid leave and his I.D is hidden.

Police killed 7-year-old Aiyana Jones as she slept in her living room. Her murderer Joseph Weekley walked free.

Police killed eleven-year-old Tamir Rice as he played in the park. His murderer Timothy Loehmann walked free.

America's carceral system treats Black children like chattel because the system isn't broken--it's working exactly as intended. And that's the problem.

“Why don’t you use ai” idk man beyond the obvious environmental and “this machine causes psychosis and encourages people to kill themselves” thing I think asking the equivalent of a solid D student who is also a pathological liar if they can answer my question/do the work for me seems pretty fucking stupid

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

[pikadevil]

I hate this timeline.

A blog came up on my feed that added so many ai tags with the art that was posted. How did it get there? Using GenAI to make art is truly gross to me and I don’t think it will ever stop making me want to vomit.

I need this bubble to pop. I will always send crudely sketched ideas to my artist friends before even thinking of using AI to complete an idea.

“Oh, but I don’t have any artist friends.” That’s a you problem. I wonder what you could be doing that might make artists shy away from you.

Another day of no sleep. It doesn’t help I forgot my medication at my house (i was housesitting for my mom), but why is it so hard to sleep when I know I need it or oversleep when I need to get up?

[spankerella]

I think we all should.

it's sad to me that cis people never apply their "loved one with a wanted-pregnancy" script to medical transition. like cis people often indicate they don't know how to react to hearing about medical transition, but a huge portion of that social script is directly applicable.

tell someone "congratulations!" tell them "I'm so happy for you. I know you've been trying for a really long time." ask them "do you need help with anything?" throw them a party with loved ones where you all give them some gifts in acknowledgement of how expensive it is. celebrate how far along they are. take photos with them so they have a record of being loved while their body changes. allow them to voice fears and doubts and anxieties about how it'll go, and reassure them that they'll get through the intense medical procedure coming up & you'll be there for support no matter what. let them tell you about the gross parts and laugh together. really listen to them when they talk about how amazing and profound it is that the human body can do this. share in their excitement for beginning a new stage of their life.

If there are complications, comfort them and help them navigate what's next. If they lose access suddenly due to finances or criminalization, treat it like a miscarriage and hold them while they grieve.

undiagnosed autistic people will be like "I don't get upset when my routine changes though!!" and it's because they've built a set of if-then loops in their head to pick from one of 6 different strict routines and they do get incredibly upset when they're unable to keep to any of the 6 scripts. I'm john normal

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html

how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity

"we could give you a link to this mp3 OR we could run it in a proprietary player app that must connect to the internet every time you hit the resume button"

when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen

ouch
