What do you mean “chat” is now referring to ChatGPT and not twitch chat? What? What? What the fuck? No?

When I address chat I am speaking to a presumed Greek chorus of real human people shitposting on their lunch break, not a machine that devours lakes to covert electricity into slop.

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

#every time I read this phrase the same thing happens#I read it as shittable and go wait that can't be right#oh right they were talking about public benches that makes more sense#but public bathrooms available without fees should also be a thing tho#cities should definitely be shittable#it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME

it must also be shittable

sometimes I have to stop myself from posting shit like "who made replacing a bike chain so erotic" because I remember the number of people who see my posts and I have to take a step back and reconsider my choices. sometimes I have to hide my true and sincere thoughts in a post about how I'm not posting them because it is funnier this way

whatever. it's just reaching between all its delicate parts to wrench out its guts with lots of sweating and straining. while it's upside down and immobilised. and then it's just taking the slick and shiny new chain and feeding it gently through gears and between metal before pulling it taut until the derailleur is extended and the chain clicks into place and can no longer be removed. I; think I'm bicycle. I mean bisexual

I love you weird fanfiction. I love you unpopular kink. I love you unsanitized sex scenes. I love you fics that the mean girls make fun of on twitter. I love you monster fucking. I love you daddy kinks and foot fetishes and water sports. I love you stories about complex human emotions and bad choices with no consequences and characters hurting each other. I love you threesomes or polycules. I love you rare pairs. I love you furry art. I love you dark fantasies. I love you kink that’s so specific and self indulgent it was clearly written just for the person writing it. I love you ships that people think you shouldn’t be allowed to ship. I love you anyone who has the courage to put their art into a public space when that art is weird, or dark, or taboo, or something that will be considered unacceptable by the puritanical fandom police.

‘The 19th Amendment was a bad idea’: The far-right’s wish list for extreme voter suppression

These ideas haven’t made it into legislation — yet. But they’re growing in popularity among far-right Christian nationalists, many of whom a

Matt Cohen at Democracy Docket:

President Donald Trump and the GOP are attacking voting rights through executive orders to roll back mail-in voting and the SAVE America Act, which would impose strict ID requirements.  But to some far-right Christian influencers, that’s small potatoes.  They’re pushing for even harsher voting restrictions. Among them: revoking women’s right to vote, instituting “family voting,” and only allowing property owners the right to vote.   These ideas haven’t made it into legislation — yet. But they’re growing in popularity among far-right Christian nationalists, many of whom are motivated by a belief that women should have no role at all in public affairs.  Kai Schwemmer — an influential conservative influencer who was recently appointed as political director for the College Republicans of America — said in an online debate last year that women shouldn’t be able to vote, according to The Guardian.  “I believe they currently have the right to vote,” Schwemmer said. “But I’m in favor of probably like a family voting thing. I think that’d probably be a better way to do it.”

Family voting is a concept championed by Christian nationalists that only allows the patriarchal head of a family’s household to cast a vote on behalf of his wife and children.   Schwemmer — whose supporters describe him as a “Mormon Nick Fuentes,” the far-right streamer known for his misogyny and antisemitism — is hardly the first influential figure on the right to call for family voting. 

[...] Allowing only homeowners the right to vote is a form of voter suppression that dates back to the 1800s — but conservative activists besides Schwemmer have floated reviving the practice over the years, which would stand to disenfranchise millions of voters.  Among the most prominent may be Steve Bannon, the popular podcaster and former senior advisor to Trump. A former colleague of Bannon told the New York Times in 2016 that he “occasionally talked about the genetic superiority of some people and once mused about the desirability of limiting the vote to property owners.” Back in 2012, Ted Yoho, a former GOP congressman, said at a campaign event that only property owners should vote.  “I’ve had some radical ideas about voting, and it’s probably not a good time to tell them,” Yoho said. “But you used to have to be a property owner to vote.”

Since then, allowing only property owners to vote hasn’t come up much among GOP lawmakers, but as conservatives fervently push to restrict voting with the SAVE America Act, more right-wingers are reviving the proposal. An op-ed in the online conservative magazine The American Thinker last year advocated only allowing property owners to vote.

[...] Right-wing podcaster Steven Crowder recently posted on social media that, in addition to family voting, only people in “mandatory selective service” should be allowed to vote. Crowder also said that only people who “have at least three years of gainful employment and are currently paying taxes,” should vote, too.

Far-right Christian nationalists want far more than just the SAVE America Act to suppress votes, and that includes barring women from voting, household voting, and permitting only property owners the right to vote (screwing over renters in the process).

"I asked ChatGPT-" well, I asked the oracle of Delphi and she said that if I go to war with Persia, a great empire will fall.

So I'm gonna do it.

This post was originally about the story of Croesus, King of Lydia, and how he decided to go to war with Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BCE. Now it's about something else.

Arguably the most appropriate post for Apollo to "bless" since it's about his oracle.

I just think it's so ironic that I work in a field where informed consent is such a big deal, but the patients very often do not have informed consent when they actually get pregnant. And yet by the time they see me it's like, well...the baby has to come out somehow and it turns out, there's no good option! Everything has risks and you didn't know you were consenting to these risks when you got pregnant and chose to continue your pregnancy 9 months ago but here we are.

We don't teach women and girls about their bodies or childbirth or pregnancy. We don't talk about the inherent risks of pregnancy or that it will probably worsen all of your chronic medical conditions as it goes on, a lot of which will never improve afterward. We don't tell people that if you have kidney disease, you might end up permanently on dialysis after a pregnancy or if you have pulmonary hypertension (a disease we don't screen for) you have a 40% chance of dying during pregnancy which is why it is an absolute contraindication to pregnancy but you wouldn't really know you have it until you're pregnant and become symptomatic in the 2nd trimester. We don't teach you that your perineum might tear so much that you have fecal incontinence for the rest of your life.

And I wanna be clear: that's by design.

If patients actually knew the risks that come with pregnancy, even pregnancies considered "low risk", humans would probably die off in a few generations.

I am not exaggerating.

I work in a field where informed consent is kind of the ONLY thing that matters at the end of the day when it comes to the treatment plans I make with patients and the procedures I perform. But my patients don't get the luxury of having informed consent before they get to me and it no longer matters if you're a horrific surgical candidate who would NEVER be offered a surgery in any other specialty due to medical comorbidities, I still have to do your c-section, that baby has to come out somehow.

I do think a lot of patients might choose things differently if they knew there's a decent chance they could end up with anal incontinence and on dialysis for life or that they code during their c-section because they had pulmonary hypertension and didn't know.

But there are people in this country and world who are really invested in ensuring women do not know the true risks of pregnancy. They REALLY don't want you to know that women over the age of 40 have a maternal mortality rate double that of black women in this country. What's more is they don't want you to be able to even choose when you get pregnant because they want to take away your most efficacious forms of birth control.

And the most insulting part?

Is that they're doing that by using social media influencers who have chosen to act as brood mares for their husbands tell you how dangerous hormonal birth control methods are while totally ignoring that every single risk associated with hormonal birth control is significantly higher in pregnancy so that you willingly choose to forgo birth control out of fear, potentially unknowingly committing yourself to high risk pregnancies.

idk if I've told this story on here before but one time I was sitting at my desk at work and a random dog I'd never seen before strolled into my office and curled up at my feet. and I was like oh you are adorable but what the fuck?

then a woman knocked on the door and said "oh I'm so sorry he's a therapy dog he's trained to seek out people in severe distress"

and I was like right okay, just getting my whole life drive-by roasted by a dog then
