Kind of funny to me when humans are saddled with instincts which, historically over millions of years, offered a net-benefit to survival. And yet now in certain circumstances of modern day living just result in a doctor going, "yeah, so don't do that."

[phantomrose96]

As hairless and warm-blooded creatures, we surely, I imagine, have been highly susceptible to parasites attached to our skin.

As creatures with dexterous opposable digits and fine-tuned motor skills, we surely, I imagine, have been able to fight back against this parasite blight by detecting the parasites on our skin and picking them entirely off.

And yet. When there is a highly unauthorized blemish. On skin. You """"shouldn't"""" """"pick at it"""" because that's """not the way to deal with acne""". Which is advice from someone who just sounds like they're jealous because their ancestors weren't nearly as skilled at skin parasite eradication.

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

I wish people wouldn't say "you can always go out without makeup/without shaving/wearing traditionally masculine clothes!" because that's just not true - not everyone can. I can, because I'm white, because most people see me as a cis woman, because I work in a place that would not punish me for not conforming to those beauty standards. I wish people would switch to saying (and practicing) "I go out without makeup/without shaving/wearing traditionally masculine clothes because existing in public like this normalizes it for everyone else and it should be possible for everyone to do the same". something like that.

“A kiss may be grand, but it won’t pay the rental, on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.”

Like literally the most famous song about how much girls love jewellry is just explaining the importance of getting jewellry for when your partner leaves you penniless and alone.

The founder of Girl Scouting in the US, Juliette Gordon Low, funded her first troop by selling her pearl necklace, which was her only belonging after her husband died and left everything to his mistress.

She founded Girl Scouts to teach girls self-sufficiency so they wouldn’t have to go through what she went through when her husband died and she didn’t know how to take care of herself.

While we’re on the subject, let’s please also remember that historically disenfranchised communities who had to worry about frequently being run out of town often bought expensive jewelry with their limited funds not because they were greedy or tacky or classless, but rather because you can’t sew a real estate investment into the lining of your coat, and the powers that be can’t freeze a diamond necklace the way that they can freeze a bank account.

Hey, did y'all see this?

I saw this when running newpipe. But wait, it gets deeper. I clicked on the details buttons and it said as of today,we have 83 days left until Google rolld out this new requirement for apps inside and outside of the google play store. If any developer disagrees with their new terms and fees, they will be blocked!

I'll share some of the info below:

Looks like they're trying to nuke the remaining privacy and freedoms we have left on the internet.

What to do?

-Get your developer friends to not comply to their new guides

- Sign the open letter on the site and take action by checking out thwir full resources list on their website as well!

To summarize, this is all daunting especially when you feel all alone with unfair and inhumane regulations comming out faster than improvements ut we got this working together!

Share the link with your friends,family and anyone who will listen!

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

[kaioty-summer]

Also, I wanted to add the wikipage and EFF statements about Keep Android Open Org so people can have a better understanding and more resources because I didn't give enough earlier and I will take that critique.

Google's Mandatory Android Dev Registration Rule Faces Revolt

EFF and F-Droid have led 37 organizations in demanding Google rescind its mandatory Android developer registration policy set to take effect

It turns out that you can become the person you’ve always envisioned but you’ll still have the person you were before inside of you and you have to treat them with as much forgiveness and love as possible

[goldensunset]

hello, it’s me, enlightened historical fiction feminist heroine. i hate being forced to wear my long hair gathered up neatly and securely behind my head. oh how i long to let it flow free and whip around wildly in the wind and get in my face and my eyes and my mouth and get snagged on everything

[jackironsides]

I also like to not wear my supportive undergarments and let my voluptuous breasts flop about painfully when i go running into the hero's arms

[simpforsix]

don't know who needs to hear this but gender non-conformity is not only for trans people. cis women can wear binders and packers. cis men can wear breast forms and tuck. cis women can use he/him pronouns and cis men can use she/her pronouns. anyone can use they/them pronouns or neopronouns. anyone can dress fem or masc regardless of gender identity. anyone can take hormones and get surgeries even if it doesn't match the 'normal' presentation for their gender. all the rules about gender are fake and you can do what you want. gender isn't some finite resource. do whatever the fuck makes you comfortable.

[there-is-still-some-liquor-left]

a body count not as in homicide nor as in sexuality but as in the trail of people from my childhood and adolescence i should’ve been a better friend to and taken better care of but i was too busy being caught up in my own heartache to recognize their own and therefore our relationship tapered off in an extremely unsatisfying way that continuously manifests itself as a thrumming sense of grief in my chest. anyway which restaurant chains have the best free pre-meal bread?

This may be the best Pride merch I've seen from a major corporation.

Levi's said yes, actually. Assless chaps and a biker vest. Happy Pride.

And the assless chaps sold out on June 1.

[aetherograph]

They also specifically contacted members of the leather community, used them as models iirc, and donated $100k to Outright International. They talked the talk and walked the walk and put their money on it too. I don't really care that I can't afford and don't want this merch, I love to see my community getting the respect it deserves. Levi's said, "We make jeans which gays wear lots of jeans? Oh leather daddies? Let's call them."

[fandomsandfeminism]

I think Levi's donates to Outreach International every year too, as well as sponsoring pride events and other community support. They were offering Same Sex domestic partner benefits to employees in the 90s, and have been very public about their support for pro-lgbt legislation all through the 2000s.

So, you know, a giant corporation that walks the walk pretty consistently.
