Growing up near the california redwoods gave me some real fucked up standards for how big a tree should be that I am only now in my 30s beginning to unpack

[mollyjames]

Not gonna lie Seattle, for a very long time I just assumed the trees here were naturally smaller than elsewhere

[mollyjames]

*walking up to a Douglas fir* "Aww... it's okay little guy. You hang in there. I just know you'll grow up to be big and strong like a real tree some day!"

[mollyjames]

they're pretty big

anyway. last night I had a dream that my local lesbian bar was hosting a “motionless dance party”. it was sort of like the inverse of a silent disco—the music is playing out loud but you’re doing all the dancing inside your own head. it was really successful like a lot of lesbians showed up to stand perfectly still in a room together and imagine what dancing would be like.

Replacing physical buttons and controls with touchscreens also means removing accessibility features. Physical buttons can be textured or have Braille and can be located by touch and don't need to be pressed with a bare finger. Touchscreens usually require precise taps and hand-eye coordination for the same task.

Many point-of-sale machines now are essentially just a smartphone with a card reader attached and the interface. The control layout can change at a moment's notice and there are no physical boundaries between buttons. With a keypad-style machine, the buttons are always in the same place and can be located by touch, especially since the middle button has a raised ridge on it.

Buttons can also be located by touch without activating them, which enables a "locate then press" style of interaction which is not possible on touchscreens, where even light touches will register as presses and the buttons must be located visually rather than by touch.

When elevator or door controls are replaced by touch screens, will existing accessibility features be preserved, or will some people no longer be able to use those controls?

Who is allowed to control the physical world, and who is making that decision?

If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:

The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend.

The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do.

The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder.

The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying.

The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying.

The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.

Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order.

The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you.

If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today.

You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them.

The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.

Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources.

Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job.

Veterans' benefits suck these days.

Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones.

The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer.

The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting.

A lot can change in four years.

As someone who had a near-miss with enlisting, the simplest thing that would have made the transition away from that idea easier would’ve been a list of alternatives. There’s a lot of posts out there about how every member of the military is a uniquely terrible person, but no amount of shaming people on tumblr dot com is going to be as impactful as a billion-dollar propaganda machine that encroaches on every aspect of their lives. Exposing that propaganda is an important first step.

I wanted to enlist because that propaganda machine promised my life structure, a place to stay, relevant skills & job prospects afterwards, and the idea that I was doing something “good.” It was seven years after realizing I would have to do something else that I first saw anyone talking about alternative options that also fulfilled those wants. I unfortunately can’t find the post but I think it would be worth adding here if anyone does have alternatives to suggest.

I know it’s taboo to have sympathy for the enlisted here but I spent ages 14-18 dead-set on joining. Yes, you are probably better at identifying propaganda than I was as a suicidal child latching on to the first sense of “purpose” in my life. If you want to actually make a difference, help those kids understand that they have other options instead. Removing the military as an option is not enough on its own.

My one boring tip to anyone in their 20s is to resist the temptation to rot in your room every time you get a free moment. Dismiss any neuroses you have about going outside and "being perceived". Be a dictator about it, plan your hangouts like they are binding commitments. No excuses! Go to the bar with your friends. Be kinda hungover at work. Socializing is like exercise; even if you don't feel like you want to, you should still do it because it's good for you.

[nikolaibrarian]

This is also true in your 30s
