Also, the fear-mongering about modern women over 40 having children is really weird. Not uncommon throughout history.

[byjove]

Republicans are like “Whoaaa this is so crazy. Everybody knows that a woman’s prime breeding years occur between 15 and 25 and their womb shrivels up and dies once they hit 35! We need to ban abortion and IVF to make these irresponsible and selfish modern women prioritize popping out children as soon as their bodies are capable of it! A 44 year old mother is unnatural and unprecedented!” and their own grandma from the mid 1800s had her first baby at 20 and their last at 46.

If you're wondering how things are going on bluesky, this brain genius is one of the engineers holding the site together.

People are yelling at him because he admitted been vibe coding the site for months and now he's having a meltdown about it. Things are great.

[kevinbikes]

Honestly incredible. If I had actually bothered to go into the industry I got my education in, guys like this would be my peers and my bosses and I frankly think I'd end up on the news if I had to spend most of my waking time around these guys.

[gwiggs]

This is correct.

[tboy-cock]

the weird thing about being a leftist is the government calling you a radical extremist and your family believing that youre a radical extremist and the whole times your main political beliefs are shit like "we live in a world where we could very easily end world hunger, homelessness, most disease, poverty, ect. and the people in power are choosing not to, and thats evil and should change" and that bigotry is bad

[penny-anna]

being a 60s Dr Who fan is so hard. like hello I'm writing a fanfiction to explore this character's trauma. Yeah his trauma from when he was imprisoned on Mechanus. From when he was imprisoned on Mechanus by the Mechanoids. Stop laughing at him.

& his fellow companion who has trauma from being held hostage by whatever this thing is

I’ve seen these two in ads at the cinema since I first moved to the UK, not being 100% fluent in English + whatever accent and funny voice combo they got going on meant I couldn’t understand basically anything they were saying. However it left me with a strong impression they were canonically married (you’d understand if you saw the ads too) that I didn’t question for the next +10 years of cinema going until I mentioned it off hand to @queer-adhd and he had to break it to me that’s not even fucking true

[pigswithwings]

the fascinating thing about being abused is that years later youre gonna be there sitting around going "okay so what now". cause like theres no instruction manual is there

[pigswithwings]

youre gonna be buying groceries and then youre gonna remember you went through all that for literally no good reason and youre gonna go Oh Okay and put paper towels in your bag or whatever

[baraphalloplastyclinic]

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

Remember that "three items from the store to make the cashier most uncomfortable" meme? Apparently I accidentally found a winning combo tonight at the corner store, one of the usual clerks shot me a really weird look when I was checking out with these

love it when fma just says the quiet part out loud

[bloodraven55]

[insert “i know writers who use subtext and they’re all cowards” here]

[nightfuryqueen]

One of my favourite bits in fma is how during the final arc they bring up why attempting human stransmutation is forbidden, as the readers we've seen what happens when an attempt fails with Ed and Al, so of course the logical explanation is that "it's too dangerous to attempt", or even "it goes against the natural way the world works, it's monstruous in nature and impossible".

But then Arakawa in her infinite wisdom as a writer goes, lol no, the goverment has been making flesh monsters with human transmutations in secret for years, they forbid it so that nobody can't even come close to attempting to create a personal army that cannot feel pain

We could look at movies and images

Movies are a lot of images

I have an image to share once we get going

Movies make me wanna die from images.

perspective gained as an adult is that i dont believe genderbends are some great sin lol i think there are badly done/boring genderbends and ones that are well done

[motorclty]

genderbends that make a fat man into a skinny woman with big tits: boring

genderbends that involve reimagining the character as a trans woman/man or truly consider how their character would be affected by being raised with different gendered expectations: enlightened

for every fat man being turned into a skinny woman with big tits for sexist consumption there is someone awesome out there reimagining a man as a butch lesbian or a woman as a trans man.. ive seen it the world really can be beautiful

[catchymemes]

[caterpilleee]

I know why you drew him. Because he is beautiful.

[angry-eevee]

when people defend the “Cis white guy is default” thing like “He’s meant to be an everyman we can all relate to and project on!” kindly remind them the largest ethnic group in the WORLD is Han Chinese and the highest gender percentage fluctuates so if you want an ACTUAL  “default” you want a 40 year old chinese person whose gender changes from year to year.

jan 6 is going to be one of those events historians look back at in 100 years questioning how the hell absolutely no one was punished for this, and instead rewarded for it 10 times over
