i used to struggle so badly as an autistic teen when i would get into disagreements with my friends and they would frequently tell me “you think you’re always right!” to which i would be like, well, yes, i do believe the things i believe and dont believe things i dont believe ergo i think i am right

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i was at the function bringing arguments to a screeching halt because suddenly im like “why would i have and express an opinion i dont think is right? of course i think im right. thats dumb”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

FOR THOSE WONDERING AS I DID FOR SO LONG, “you think you’re always right” usually roughly translates to “you think you can never be wrong” and was usually said to me when i was being straight up obstinate and refusing to consider other perspectives

things I’ve noticed in the UK:

- when you’re jay walking, cars will actively accelerate bc the drivers want to kill you for breaking the rules

- servers in restaurants act very scared and apologetic, so maybe people aren’t nice to them here??? or I could be terrifying

- it’s really cute when little kids have British accents, but I’m unmoved by adults with accents

- extremely good gluten free options. this country is like 20 years ahead of Canada in that regard

- people will give random insignificant buildings names with little plaques. and then that’s the name that shows up on the map. like even a smaller than average family home, you can name it like it’s a dog

- lots of brick and stone buildings. looks cute and charming until you enter one and there’s no air conditioning

- people are still wearing jaguar print. I like this. don’t let it die

ohhh okay! amendment: cars will actively try to kill you for being small and made of flesh, instead of cool and metal like them

Notes:

Second poll will remain open until 50 years from publishing

Bot options share a UUID, making a vote for either count for both

Previously, a vote in the first poll counted for both options in the second

A vote for the second poll increases the vote count for both polls, despite the first ostensibly being closed

A Pound of Ground Beef Now Costs More Than the Federal Minimum Wage

The typical American consumes nearly 60 pounds of beef each year. Widely available and easy to prepare, ground beef serves as a grocery main

this counts as using hamburgers to explain the economy

Watching queer people debate the law in the uk about arresting people over fiction the uk government doesn’t like as if the next step in censoring ‘obscene’ things isn’t to define queer people as ‘obscene’

[boybeetles]

Tbhhhh I don’t think governments should be able to control what fiction people consume/publish or what roleplay people do. It’s pretend it’s playing . It’s stuff you do in private . If no actual abuse is involved the police have no business in what you jerk off to or what porn people make.

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

#i appreciate how genuine and non-judgemental this comic feels #like left one is not upset at right one for caring while being powerless #and right one seems genuinely distraught and not performative

I'm glad the facial expressions are coming across accurately! It can feel so absurd to say gosh I hope the torment maze removes some fire and rusty nails soon, but alas, sometimes that's all one can do.

me, stunted 12 year-old whose only representation of trans women had been ace ventura and jokes about shemale prostitutes, "well, i guess when i'm like, 40, and everyone i have any obligation to is dead, i can get a bunch of sex change surgeries and fuck gross men for money. but at least i'll kinda look like a girl."

real transfem representation really could've saved me a solid 15-20 years.

[jessiewithaj]

this feels particularly relevant with the global push to chase minors off social media. none of it is about protecting kids, it's about control. it's about cutting off vulnerable, marginalized, young people whose only opportunity to learn more about their own gender and sexuality--and find other people who are like them--is through social media platforms.

queer, particularly trans representation hasn't come all that far in 20 years. maybe there's less blatant transphobia, but there sure as hell isn't any widespread positive representation. we have multiple generations of trans women and men who were only able to explore their identities during adolescence in online spaces. and kids today are being stripped of that.

be wary of any legislation or changes in corporate policy that cites "protecting kids". it's never about protecting anyone, it's about control. there are a lot of parents that'd prefer to keep their kid in the closet 'til it kills them than watch them actually explore their identity.

I mean, really the boundaries between romantic/platonic/familial love are a social construct at the end of the day

[forestgreenandgray]

Maybe I love everyone with a different love. The way I love my father is different from the way I love my mother. I love each of my friends in a way that's unique to them. Or maybe it's all the same love that feels different every single time.

The Greeks named eight types of love. Throughout time people have had lots of categories of love, none of them consistent. The borders are never well-defined. And maybe there's a reason for that. Maybe the different types of love aren't really all that different.

my evil confession is i do still fuck with the format and songs of eurovision. i dont watch it anymore for obvious reasons and theres a lot to be said about whether any competition themed around representing countries can avoid falling into propaganda but. in my mind palace there is an ideal version of eurovision that is a) truly international b) encourages local music and languages c) doesnt fuck with fascism d) gives each performer the budget of the superbowl. and it would be glorious.
