main regret with comic con is that i didnt get any pics of peoples cosplay. i especially remember 1. a great doc scratch, and 2. an excellent recreation of Padme's most extravagant outfit from the Phantom Menace. oh, also a really good Denji Chainsawman (chainsaw mode)!

It's incredible how annoying lawnmowers and leafblowers are and the sense of relief you feel when they finally turn off. Goddamn.

[elbiotipo]

In the People's Democratic Biotipist Republic, having a leafblower is punished by death. It's the only crime that warrants it.

"im no better than a man" is a thought cisbians should be having whenever they feel compelled to talk down to trans women instead of like. when a girl has boobs.

for so many years at the beginning when everyone first started really paying attention to the terfs and hating them, i tried to warn them... you gotta love trans women more than you hate terfs or you're going to help their transmisogynistic goals. and then what did people do? hated terfs more than they loved trans women. and now they call trans women terfs to justify their transmisogyny. and then they say anyone who won't join them is why trans solidarity is in the shitter.

it's absolutely insane

to a certain extent, i can sort of agree that "affected/excempt" are probably not the most accurate words that couldve been used in TMA/TME but i just know that even if we managed to come up with more precise, unambiguous terms people would still whine and complain endlessly about it regardless of the accuracy.

I'm ngl it kinda kills me that the thing that is killing Hank Green and making him go through mass cancellation is him saying that he sometimes uses AI for research.

Like not the horrible video on hrt, no of course not. Loudly and proudly declaring "we don't hire transfems here at scishow"? Nobody gives a shit!

But say "i used Claude as a search engine for academic articles" and every creator on youtube takes turns shitting you as you go into fucking witness protection.

[trangoldin]

There is a connection here with that post I saw the other day about how being performatively anti-AI can be a way to loudly declare one's commitment to "good values" without actually having to care about uplifting any marginalized communities

do you have thoughts on the AITA side of reddit in particular? the subreddit itself is apparently mostly bots now, but im concerned how common/popular the format has become online, especially bc of how many people fall for the ruse of "this homeless/fat/trans/Black person behaved unreasonably, AITA?" as an excuse to talk about how much they hate homeless/fat/trans/Black people period

AITA and most popular subreddits sharing personal anecdotes are for creative writing and justifying bigotry i'm convinced
