trans man on this website: i love women esp trans, lesbian, and bi women, i want to support them as best i can, i want nothing but the best for them, they deserve only good things
at least 3 freaks on anon, every single time: why are you such a self hating trans man? you clearly struggle with self hatred and the only reason you’d care about women is if it’s performative, it’s obvious you’re just trying to appease the oppressive lesbians on this site and selling yourself out lol…..i really hope you stop hating yourself for being a man one day…..praying for you :/

I hope I'm online when it happens. I want to see a sudden flood of crab rave memes right after refreshing my dash, and in the middle of it all, the Castiel news meme. That's how I want to learn of it; not through anything solemn or serious, but via overwhelming silly celebration.
the great part abt closing shifts is that when you're bored at work you can draw on the clock. got nothing else t oh fuck off. right as i started writing this i got two more fucking orders fuck offffff

we need to instill a new storytelling rule of thumb into people called "show don't tweet" where we encourage them to put all pertinent canon information into the actual story and its official supplemental material instead of using reddit AMAs as lore dlcs
ponyplay but I haven't been desensitized yet so you just wave a plastic bag in my face
That is not how you desensitize a horse with the r+ method. Waving a scary object in a horse's face until it stops reacting is a method we refer to as flooding. It causes nonreaction via learned helplessness - essentially teaching the horse that there is no escape, so it might as well give up - instead of teaching the horse that there's no reason to try and escape. It causes shut-down, stressed, and unwilling horses.
If you want to incorporate desensitization into a ponyplay scene, you need to pick a thing that the pony is genuinely uncomfortable with (could be anything from spiders to bad textures to tickling to nudity, whatever kind of scene you wanna play out).
I'm gonna assume the horse in question is already target trained and clicker trained.
What you wanna do is show your horse the uncomfortable stimulus and ask it to interact with it. With theriform horses, you can often coax a horse into this by placing the target near the uncomfortable thing or by asking the horse to target the uncomfortable thing itself. Every time your horse interacts with the thing, you click and reward.
If your horse's fear of the thing trumps its desire to touch the target, you can practice operant counter-conditioning. You will have to force your horse to interact with the uncomfortable thing, but never to a point where the horse's threshold of stress is crossed. Every time you force the uncomfortable interaction, you simultaneously ask the horse to touch your target and then reward. Theriform horses generally love target training and are extremely food motivated, so they quickly come to associate the bad thing with the good thing. Eventually, with enough persistence, they should lose their negative associations with the uncomfortable stimulus.
Always use r+ training as your first choice! Only use r- when r+ fails.
terrible day for the masochistic horse but wonderful days for the praise enjoyers
well for masochistic horses I guess one would simply use r-, right?
No, r- (negative reinforcement) does not mean "reinforcement via something uncomfortable." It means "reinforcement via the removal of something uncomfortable." In horse training, negative reinforcement is usually referred to as pressure/release. You put physical pressure on the horse (for example by pressing your leg into its side) and when it does the thing you're asking (turning to the side), you remove the pressure. The horse doesn't enjoy the pressure, it wants the pressure gone. The horse learns that in order to remove the pressure, it has to perform a given action. Whereas positive reinforcement teaches the horse that in order to gain a reward, it has to perform a given action.
What you're probably thinking of is positive punishment, where the behavior is reinforced by the application of something uncomfortable - for example, if you want your horse to stop being pushy with you, you can slap it in the face. This is animal cruelty and not a recommended training method. But if you're in a bdsm scene and your sub has either consented to positive punishment (and you are very diligent with your aftercare), or if your sub genuinely views 'punishment' as a reward, I don't see why you couldn't use this training method.
There's also negative punishment, where the behavior is reinforced by the removal of something your animal wants or needs, such as withholding food when it doesn't act like you want it to. There are scenarios where negative punishment is appropriate (such as ignoring a dog while it's jumping at you), but it's a training method that should be used with caution.
I hope I'm explaining it well. If not, this chart might help:

wish literally any gay papers would talk about lil nas x cause every article is either written with contempt OR makes sweeping assumptions by only quoting the cops and blatantly lies about things they contradict in their own article. like how is there no coverage of support or efforts to keep an eye on his location?
shortest possible story is that he he got arrested and hospitalized after walking around outside at night, MAYBE having 'an episode', MAYBE he was drunk, maybe he was high, maybe he was just being loud, who knows. Dude was outside at night in boxers and cowboy boots and that's all he did to "invite" police interaction.
But cops claimed he assaulted them so he gets arrested. Then goes to the hospital. Then goes back into custody.
And then he's not heard of for a while, then days later says he's out and okay. But facing FELONY charges!
WHERE IS EVERYONE? Pinknews cunts? Them? OutMag? Hello??
Almost a year later, Lil Nas X is out of a mental health rehab program, looking good, saying he feels really good, and seems to be on the way up after all of this. I'm really happy for him. I hope he has good genuine support in his life through family, friends, and folks rooting on him that he can count on.
I am really disappointed but not surprised how quickly a lot of media support for him disappeared, especially queer papers. An interview from before the police incident really highlighted how many people wanted him to fail and wanted to see him fall, including certain pockets within communities that should have has his back.
Happy Happy Pride to Lil Nas X. I hope nothing but good things come his way.
hmmmmm.... this shitpost from a user i dont know seems like a warm, safe place to lay an overshare egg 🥚
In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.
Hey its been at least 9 years anything changed?

staff killed her for this
WHAT she got nuked??
Trans people existing violates community guidelines
I wasn’t kidding
A HAMMERHEAD????
I attended a campfire presentation by a park ranger who described Osprey as "both the pickiest and least picky eaters of all time."
They're the pickiest because they only eat things they can catch by plunging into at least six feet of water feet-first and are as close to their maximum carrying capacity as possible, to maximize calories-per-trip.
They're the Least Picky because so long as something fits those parameters, Osprey will go for it.
The ranger then showed us an extensive slide show of the local osprey in flight with their catches, which included: trout, carp, snakes, bass, eels, small sharks, ducks, surprisingly large catfish, a nerf football, muskrats, a summer sausage that fell off a boat, sneakers, a fish previously thought to be extinct in the area, a Barbie Doll, and another osprey.
