It's always "stop harming yourself or we'll have to lock you up!!!" and never "what do you need to change to want to harm yourself less and how can we help you make some of these changes?" and that's why we're not getting anywhere

[vinceaddams]

It's nice that loud noises don't stick to clothes like smells do. That would be really bad if they did.

[thatonemushroom]

Yeah, this is one of the most horrifying "what ifs" I've heard in a long time.

[vinceaddams]

A rack of secondhand baby onesies would be so horrendously screamy :(

Construction worker's clothes would be awful, and the safety vests of the people who wave those paddles around on airport runways would be even worse, and I'd have to have some way of getting the alarm clock out of my nightgowns so I could get to sleep.

starts the second trojan war in portland by inscribing a golden starbucks cup with "for the least problematic kinkster"

[anyilherron]

The only problem with this post is that it suggests that the Portland kinksters are as gods. You need someone egotistical and with a lot more power for that role...

"you need someone egotistical and with a lot more power for that role"

perhaps the times have changed but back in my day the only way you could have more social power in portland oregon than any given bdsm dungeon master was to be born into the ruling class

#i mean. im curious. bc like.#personally i wouldnt take that cup. and most of my kink friends wouldnt either.#bc we recognise the nuance#but there are def people who do kink who think of themselves specifically as 'non-problematic kinksters'#aka the people im not friends with because they get weird and judgy about stuff#like bruhhh why are you freaking out over a 40 year old in baby clothes. calm down. its okay.

i'm simultaneously throwing a golden ball gag into the ring inscribed with "for the best understander of nuance and realpolitik in a complexly materialist world, as per hegelian dialectics". unrelated to the trojan war thing. just for shits and gigs

[rebellum]

Okay now THAT would start a fight

[mephistopheles]

yall i swear to god if a bitch says her pronouns are she/her then her pronouns are she/her

[mephistopheles]

my close friend from uni was a cis girl who had the audacity to wear pants and cut her hair short and like nobody at this school, a place OBSESSED with ‘respecting everyone’s gender identities,’ would call her ‘she.’ after MONTHS of this she started wearing a fucking pronoun pin to work and i dont even think that fixed it. me, im sorta androgynous; i have shaggy self-cut hair and go by a neutral name, but i always say my pronouns are she/her, and people ive worked with for months and have introduced myself in front of fifty times will STILL reflexively say ‘they’ for me. i respect the progressive circles i run in, but this IS evidence of misogyny. people’s definition of “woman” or “girl” is so narrow and high-maintenance that even the tiniest deviation from the norm gets you forcibly defeminized. but it’s a compliment, right? like who would wanna be a girl anyway?

[mephistopheles]

replacing an inescapable gender binary with an equally-inescapable gender trinary is stupid 🩷

[william-s-churros]

i think i saw a movie like this once

[maidslime]

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace

[pennaraptor]

emotional responses are deeply evolutionarily advantageous in any animals that are making complex decisions and behaviors (in many vertebrates, say) because they act as a reinforcer for a behavior. a bird taking a vigorous bath in a puddle is probably happy because if that behavior didnt elicit a positive feeling they wouldn't do it (it is dangerous to be on the ground and wet!). if an animal can feel fear, which i think is a less contested assertion to make, then it can certainly feel the opposite, that is, happy.

[iww-gnv]

Are you a member of a labor union?

Yes, and I am an active participant

Yes, but I'm not very active

I used to be, but am not currently

No, because I don't want to be

No, because there isn't one at my job/in my area

No, because I don't know how/need help

No, because I'm unemployed

No, because I'm not eligible to join

Remaining time: 6 days 16 hours

Do you want to be a union member?

If you're interested in unionizing, check out the Industrial Workers of the World! We accept members of other unions (except officers), students, retirees, the unemployed, the self-employed and freelance, and those in informal professions. Those unable to work may also join. To us, you are all working class.

The IWW is closed to bosses, and anyone who has the power to hire or fire employees. The IWW also does not permit any law enforcement officers, prison guards, or landlords. These positions undermine the power of the working class and are not considered workers by the IWW.

Join the IWW today!

Im depressed from my period + feeling behind on masters stuff + everything sucks so you know what. Im gonna paint today. The idea of painting today fills me with utter joy. Im gonna paint!!! I haven't painted in!! Months!!

[catgirlapologist]

isn't it insane though how schizophrenic people are viewed as violent and dangerous by the majority of society when in reality schizophrenic people are nearly 14 times more likely to be on the receiving end of violence than to be the perpetrators...

[catgirlapologist]

schizophrenic person: makes a post trying to raise awareness about the disproportionate abuse and harmful stereotypes schizophrenic people face

yall: "yeah im not gonna reblog this they used the word ins*ne which is so problematic ://"

[truth-spatter]

What the fuck happens that changes these stats to such a massive degree?

[catgirlapologist]

1) schizophrenia hardly ever causes people to be violent so schizophrenic people aren’t more likely to be violent than anyone else

2) schizophrenic people’s autonomy is often taken away from them because of their schizophrenia. because the authorities and mental healthcare providers often automatically assume schizophrenic people to be violent, they’re more likely to immediately react to schizophrenic people's symptoms with violence, without even knowing for sure said schizophrenic person was going to be violent. all of this causes schizophrenic people to be more likely of being victims of violence and abuse. schizophrenic people also have a harder time getting out of abusive households because of the risk of their autonomy being taken away. if a schizophrenic person’s relative or partner is abusive, often the schizophrenic person has no way out of the situation, both because our disconnect from reality can result in us being easier to manipulate, and because the system is built in a way that it takes away our autonomy because of our condition.

[catgirlapologist]

also schizophrenic people and psychotic people in general, please do a lot of research before picking a provider for your own sake, and if they try to treat your psychosis in a way that you think is harmful then don’t hesitate to switch providers. your safety and wellbeing should be a priority over everything else.

What an interesting mix of bricks!!!

The double-stacked bricks with the line across them (one pair is half a brick over to the right of the bottom of the lower window pane) are called Shadow-Tex, at least in the part of USamerica where I learned about bricks. Aa far as I know, Belden Brick is the only company in this area that makes that texture and shape. Below is one of Belden's shadow-tex brick in a color that would work here. Maybe I'll do a separate post to explain how shadow-tex bricks are made, because it's neat. They are usually at least 11 inches long, so you'd have to cut them to make them match the length of the others (7 5/8" if the building was built in the last 35ish years, maybe 8" if it was built before that).

The rest could probably be matched with Acme Brick's Mission Trace, though king size might not work.

If mixing Belden's shadow-tex romans and Acme's Mission Trace kings is too much work, you could conceivably use General Shale's New Foundland bricks by themselves. The bark texture on some of the bricks in this blend (blended from different lines at the plant) could kinda match the shadow-tex brick from afar.

Oh and the piece above the window is called a lintel, pronounced like the legume. Concrete lintels are reinforced with rebar, so they can hold the weight of a brick veneer!

Now if you don't mind, @identifying-cat-phenotypes please complete the picture?

I think Seven of Nine would approach Tuvok like 'I am unaccustomed to being alone but the other crew members keep trying to socialise with me and I don't care for it. I've judged you the member of the crew least likely to engage in meaningless social interactions. I would like to spend some time with you.' And Tuvok is like 'that is logical. You may join me in my quarters this evening.'

She comes over and stands motionless by the wall while he sits and works on his reports and personal log. After 3 hours she's like 'that was satisfactory. I will join you again next week' and he's like 'acceptable'.

It's a major event in both of their social calendars.
