whatever pronouns - 24 - pfp is from a picrew, the artist is @mischa.mak0wka on instagram - hey i'll probably take 2 to 36 business days to answer but you are very welcome to talk to me

also as long as i'm getting my opinions on ai out there, i find anti-ai rhetoric on an environmental basis...uncompelling.

like. yeah, okay, data center projects are causing serious problems. that literally doesn't have to be the case. it uses a lot of energy. that also doesn't have to be a problem. we have the means to regulate that shit so its all clean energy and sustainable practices. the ai is not the problem here.

its like when people argue against same-day shipping or other modern conveniences on the basis of labor issues. your problem isnt with "same day shipping," its with amazon and walmart and shit. do you see. the New Thing is NOT causing new problems its just revealing the problems we've been letting fester.

"big company absolutely destroys a small town"

ok do you see why the specific product is perhaps not the issue here. they could be selling pet rocks and it would still be heinous that they're allowed to do this.

uber and lyft do not mean that taxis are a bad idea, they just mean that we need to Fix Our Shit as a society.

attention to all dashcon attendees

someone urinated into the ballpit while it was empty and posted it in the tag

stay out of the ballpit

[wingdingle]

there are people who think this is a joke

this is not a joke

[girlcaligula]

god I just. love ruthlessness as a character trait so much. sexy sexy sexy

[girlcaligula]

this one. absolutely in love with this definition. give me a character who thinks like this and I’ll love them to pieces

[ushauz]

I think it's important to know that this quote is about Marco from Animorphs realizing he can cause a major blow to the Yeerk Empire by killing his deeply beloved mother. And he nearly does it too and is only stopped by another character physically intervening.

[mousiebites]

just took an edible and my mind expanded big enough that i have found out how to fix and change my mom

[mousiebites]

folks, it turns out she cannot be saved, and actually, should be damned to hell

[catmask]

by the way. it never is too late to decide you want to be happy. the woman who helped me get hormones didnt start hers until she was 70, and i met her at 73, beautiful and smiling - and told me that the last three years of her life had been her favorite. your favorites might be ahead of you too. why not hang around and find out?

[redstonedust]

not to be a buzzkill but i kinda hate when i see a video of teenagers goofing off or construction workers having fun and people in the replies are like "now THIS is what 'boys will be boys' should mean!" goofing off isn't a boys exclusive activity......... why did you immediately tie it to their boy-ness....... what's going on there huh............

[redstonedust]

the whole "insulting someone based on their appearance is bad because it could indirectly hurt people you like who share that feature" is a good start for unlearning body shaming but i do think we need to go further and remind people that even if there was some physical trait that was magically 10000% exclusive to conservatives and creeps and nobody else ever had it, we still shouldnt be insulting them based on that. because the problem with them is not their appearance its their ideology and actions. by insulting their appearance you arent just indirectly insulting others who look like that, youre literally not making the correct point. stay on topic ya know.

[redstonedust]

also to be clear bc some people have mentioned it, theres already aspects of peoples appearance that are 10000% exclusive to a specific ideology (a tattoo of a fascist symbol, for example) but i really dont think you can count that as insulting someone based on their appearance because the appearance isn't the problem. idc if the tattoo looks good or bad i care that this person is broadcasting their fascist views to the world. i hope the difference is obvious,

[teaboot]

Im a guy am i allowed to support free the nipple. I mean obviously yes, im aware that its beyond sexist that they cant but i also just like tits. I think woman should be allowed to be shirtless wherever a man is but at the same time do i just think that because im straight?

Hey man I think you can do both. Like I appreciate man tits and those are legal p much everywhere, but if I was ogling people or touching folks without permission or clutching my pearls whenever I saw a nip it'd be a different story

It's not so much "do I think boobs are hot and do I enjoy seeing them" so much as it is "do I think it's reasonable that what I personally find hot shouldn't get to dictate how others dress"

All u really got to be careful of is how u support- cause yeah,it may come off as skeevy if u get too excited about it.

But the drum we're beating here isn't "STOP EXPERIENCING FEELINGS", it's "YOUR FEELINGS AREN'T MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY BODY" and "THE HUMAN BODY IS NOT IN ITSELF OBSCENE" and "WOMEN'S BODIES BY THEMSELVES ARE NOT PORNOGRAPHIC"

And for the love of GOD don't get me started on letting people breastfeed their kids

[teaboot]

Also llike. As a baby-steps thought excersise, consider this:

Picture the LEAST attractive person with breasts you personally can imagine. If your knee-jerk reflex is, "I no longer support that person's right to be topless", that's a Gratification motive paired with a Disgust motive.

The key is to move AWAY from Self-Gratification and Disgust and TOWARDS "Equality".

Self-gratification is something we encourage in our view of women so strongly that it almost becomes invisible- to the point of detriment to BOTH sides, which is what bedrock stone-bottom Feminism exists to address.

Your grandmother should be just as commonplace being topless at the pool as your grandpa. Your sister should be able to take her shirt off when it's scorching out and still be as safe and blasé as your brother. Seeing a mom whip out a tit on the bus to feed her baby should be as commonplace as a milk bottle.

The foundational idea is, "the primary purpose of a woman's body is for women to live, not for others to pick apart for approval".

I want to live in a world where a young woman can go out and get groceries or walk to a friend's house or go swimming without being interrupted every five minutes by the stranger living in her skull demanding that she appear beautiful at every possibly moment

Buckle up, European and Foreigner Tumblypoos, because I'm about to learn you a thing about AMERICA.

You see these delectable motherflippers? These are called STATES. You stupid foreigners might not be able to wrap your head around this, but basically they're administrative subdivisions of the country.

And here's the thing: They are totally heckin' different from each other! For instance, New York:

Looks TOTALLY DIFFERENT from Kansas:

And they both look TOTALLY different from California!

So before you make fun of an American for not knowing where tiny third-world countries like "Check Republic" or "South Korea" are, maybe think about how much we have to learn about the unique regional differences in our OWN country. Maybe you should think about AMERICA more.

How is it that you can a music library of like 1,200+ absolute bangers but as soon as you put it on shuffle in a group setting it's like. anime opening you added in 2010. homestuck parody song. musical artist who was cancelled last year for kidnapping and eating children in his basement. Hamilton

[bumblebeebats]

I can't believe some people are actually reblogging this like "Tch. Omg, so embarrassing OP, I can't believe you would ever admit to liking Hamilton 😏 " like ok, first of all congratulations for hatching as a fully formed adult in 2022 from the pure white egg of a virgin swan i guess. Raised in a cave on a diet consisting solely of nuts and berries and leftist twitter clapbacks. "ooooooh, I've never had a complicated relationship with a piece of art that was phenomenally well-received at the time but aged like milk as later reflection revealed the fundamental flaws in its premise that were in fact present from its inception but which I didn't notice because I was 17 and hadn't heard of neoliberalism yet" Should we throw a party? Should we invite Anthony Fantano? Anyway second of all. you draw the line at Lin Manuel Miranda but you're fine with basement guy?

post: patterns of social harm are not innately & permanently encoded into populations of people, all social relations are changeable, and therefore reducing harm requires addressing why these patterns develop and interrupting them rather than having the state systematically kill people

replies:

- agreed except for the Bad People who are innately harmful.

- yeah because sometimes innocent people get killed not just the innately bad ones

- vote blue no matter who!
