okay this is really fascinating to me bc I feel like what they're each picking up from each other is "this woman fails to meet the standards of hetero womanhood" - none of them look like the lead of a romcom, none of them look like an instagram model. passing each other on the street they won't look that closely, but when scrutinizing the image, they pick up on these "failures" and interpret them as deliberately signaling disinterest in male attraction. the secret of course is that no one can meet these standards because they're fake; instagram models and movie actresses are staged and edited.

of course the creator probably got some "straight" responses and edited them out but it's interesting right? that wearing a leopard print top or being the "wrong" body shape pings whatever passes for a gaydar on straight people? that women in t-shirts without a full face of makeup are not performing enough femininity to be "real (straight) women"? the unprompted transvestigation is not unrelated from the distinction of who is a real straight woman.

It's your dream, isn't it? For that captain to get down on one knee and propose to you. That’s right. That was my dream. But not anymore.

It actually really fucking sucks that the two options for much of the internet now are either "get added to a massive database that makes you easier to identify and therefore target, put self at greater risk of identity theft" or "lose access to accounts and access to large parts of the internet".

From what I understand, the risk isn't that sites will know who you are (as it seems a lot of the time they just recieve the result of identification) but moreso that by going through the verification process you are entered into a database that enables things like facial identification. It's not so much the sites you have to be worried about, it's the cops and military, who the data get sold too.

Like, the blunt fact of the matter is that even if the system is blatantly and transparently fucking evil, if I need to find a job and a LinkedIn account would help with that, I legitimately might just need to submit to it. The threat of unemployment might force me to have to relinquish what tiny slivers of privacy I still have left. I'm definitely not doing it yet, but at a certain point I may not have a choice. How fucked is it that they have the power to coerse you into compliance like that? And all for the sake of an evil corporation. Everything is just evil dogshit now, and the ineffectual protest of someone like me doesn't actually achieve anything. Nobody else seems to actually have the power to challange this at all, the vast majority of people seem to accept it and even support it, they don't care. We appear to be in the minority here...

I had a funny realisation that my partner and I are the same person but in a different colour scheme

asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.

The idea of listening to no black music is bizarre to me. Even if it's not rap like no earth wind and fire? No reggae? No moonstomp? No ska? No classic jazz? No R and B? No disco??? No skindred? No jungle? No even like metal bands with a few black members? No gospel? Not even stuff like alors en dance? No blues music? No mo town? No jazz of any kind? No big band? No soul music? Not even a little James Brown?
