“but what if you abort the baby who’ll cure cancer?!” sir the baby who will cure cancer is an organic chemistry major who works at a Home Depot because you use AI to go through your resumes
"I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops." - Stephen Jay Gould, The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History
i suggest the contract is broken
god cursed me into seeing this image so im making it everyone elses problem
at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback
what’s more iconic than this
What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?
Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.
Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.
Happy pride month everyone
You used to log onto the internet and find out it was peanut butter jelly time. Not any more.
Apart from it being Pride month its also ‘Havers left for North Africa on the 5th June at 1800 hours’ month
When Tess Morgan's son came home with a tattoo, she was griefstricken. She knew her reaction was OTT (he's 21) but it signalled a change in their relationship
This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read
This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so
He says, “I’m still the same person.”
I look at him, sitting there, my 21-year-old son. I feel I’m being interviewed for a job I don’t even want. I say, “But you’re not. You’re different. I will never look at you in the same way again. It’s a visceral feeling. Maybe because I’m your mother. All those years of looking after your body – taking you to the dentist and making you drink milk and worrying about green leafy vegetables and sunscreen and cancer from mobile phones. And then you let some stranger inject ink under your skin. To me, it seems like self-mutilation. If you’d lost your arm in a car accident, I would have understood. I would have done everything to make you feel better. But this – this is desecration. And I hate it.”
Also just the classism of her associating tattoos with “vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses”; like, just say you hate poor people
The trilogy of Mat laughing at Jim in the S1, S2 & S3 Ghosts bloopers
I feel like these have immense meme potential, like much of Yonderland.
[image description: three images from Yonderland. In the first image Negatus is looking forward, a little concerned, and saying ‘I may have made a small tactical error.” The second image is Admiral Anous laying dead on the floor with an axe in his chest. The third image is of Negatus sat on his throne, hands clasped, with Anous dead on the floor in front of him. The demons are visible at the front left edge of the image. End description.]

"You will often be subjected to uncomfortable situations in public and you should learn to navigate that" and "if you play your music out loud in a public hike then the other hikers should be allowed to hunt you for sport" are two sentiments that can and should co-exist
Bureaucracy is good and important, actually.
Except for the spelling of the word "bureaucracy"
Well that's conditional right?
Building safety regulations? Absolutely.
Having to go through 6 rounds of means and eligibility testing for each of the 5 benefits you're entitled to, probably not.
The problem is with the existence of means and eligibility testing, not the bureaucracy that manages the benefits.
To paraphrase a tumblr post: Do you think that's the paperwork's fault?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
when a government bans young people from using social media, and then categorises messenger apps like Signal and WhatsApp as "social media", they are pushing those young people toward using text messages, a fundamentally insecure form of communication. texts are not encrypted in transit and can be read by both the sender's mobile carrier and the recipient's. that also means they can be leaked in data breaches, subpoenaed, or just handed over willingly to law enforcement at the carriers' discretion.
hmm. I wonder why governments might want this
