Hello! Quick rundown:
Blog theme - Your guess is as good as mine
MPAA Rating - PG-13 for sex jokes, politics, spoilers, and repeated use of the fucking f b*mb
Trigger tags and image descriptions - I try my best but very inconsistent
That is all. Have a nice day!
When you find an x reader fic with your favorite characters but "Reader" is biologically related to a canon white character,has pink folds and pink nipples,has blonde hair and green eyes halfway into the story and is actually named Olivia or Jessica this whole time.
My POC ass : K,I guess I'll fuck off then.
No, no, and NO.
AO3 does not live in “the cloud” because that is other people’s computers, and other people’s computers are vulnerable to censorship.
AO3 is on its own computers. It does still have to be housed somewhere, and I suppose a determined enough hater could try to find that place and go after it, but it’s a lot harder than sending spurious complaints to Amazon or whomever going “BadWrong things are hosted on your cloud service!”
Owning the servers is a core tenet of OTW/AO3.
Warming up a new database server….
When people involved with AO3 talk about “the cost of servers” they don’t mean “the cost to pay Amazon for space on their servers.” They mean, like, the cost to physically own them, and eventually replace them with new ones. And the operating costs to run them.
AO3 is not “in the cloud.” AO3 is stored on physical machines that the OTW owns.
While this is not a solution that can work for everyone who wants to deal with controversial content, it is why AO3ple sneer at alt-righters who complain about getting thrown off hosting platforms.
I Want Us to Own the Goddamned Servers
Because I want us to own the goddamned servers, ok? Because I want a place where we can’t be TOSed and where no one can turn the lights off or try to dictate to us what kind of stories we can tell each other.
AO3 is what a website looks like when you seize the means of production.
Tim Sweeney believes AI disclosure makes it harder for developers to have "a chance of success".
Fuckin cry about it Tim Sweeney
Guy in charge of company that's recently seen a lot of complaints around how shitty the AI assets they're putting in their games makes the games, and which developed the engine that they're about to try to replace their central gimmick feature in with AI (thus meaning that anyone who uses the newest version of the engine will be using AI), is screaming crying throwing up about how the biggest storefront makes you tell them if there's AI in your game. Because people don't want to buy games with AI. So it's 'unfair' that you can't hide the AI and this will hurt developers using the latest version of the engine he wants to push on them.
Guy selling chalk to dairy farms to put in their milk after numerous complaints about how bad chalky milk is: "It's so unfair that the supermarkets make you disclose if there's chalk in the milk!"
Hey let's clean up that link and remove all the trackers from it

The frustrating thing about tumblr isn’t idea that the userbase at large is more racist, transphobic, ableist, and other such bigotries than other social media platforms because society at large has these prejudices pervade all aspects of civilization. The frustrating thing about tumblr is that it specifically promotes itself as a welcome, inclusive, and progressive space. Twitter doesn’t present itself as a friendly, respectful community (the fact that it’s owned by elon isn’t doing it any favors either.) it’s simply twitter. Instagram, Facebook similarly don’t package their content in the same veneer as Tumblr. Encountering racist transphobes on twitter isn’t surprising because it’s twitter. Encountering them here where the like button displays the progressive Pride flag is what rubs ppl the wrong way. It’s like going from a dive bar to a nice coffee shop and seeing the same exact clientele as before. This isn’t even to mention that the staff are on the same timing as well
Finding out the geeks have the same '-ists' and '-isms' as the jocks, just without as much social clout happens again and again and again.
I love how when highly social apes gained the ability to think narratively the immediate result was like "ok everythings a guy now" like that's so funny that's SO charming of us. hello I have developed the cognitive capacity to frame my experiences in a narrative and now that mountain is a guy. the river? a guy. storm? also a guy. they're all guys now. when they do something which results in damage inconvenience or death is probs bc they're mad at us. because they're guys.
its just I think. soooo adorable its such a funny little unexpected outcome of becoming as social and as narrative-in-language brained as we are. Everything's A Guy Now. and we are in a social relationship. us and the guys. the sun is in my social group now. bet you didn't foresee that when you programmed this level of social with this level of narrative brain, DID you, god???? <- look look I'm doing it right now I'm making there be a guy

girlbulge is such a choice look i really wish it was more normalized
No offense to the droves of nsfw blogs reblogging this, but this was actually not meant to be a horny post. Let trans women exist in public spaces in their natural bodies without having to tuck or take other uncomfortable measures. I deserve to be able to wear tight clothes or go to the beach without having to be uncomfortable or in straight up pain from tucking just because some fragile cis people might think it’s some kind of perverted sexual display if there’s any sign of a bulge. So again, girlbulge is a choice look and I really wish it was more normalized and not seen as something inherently sexual, because it’s literally just how our bodies look in certain clothes.
got my first terf shitstain in the notes throwing a tantrum about this which is part of why i think it’s so important to normalize it. people being driven to seething rage at the mere thought of having to see a little bump under someone’s clothing is not fucking healthy! trans people deserve better than to be treated that way! i should be able to safely wear what i want without having to worry that my body is gonna send someone into a complete fucking rage!
Girls with big breasts 🤝 Girls with bulge
Being sexualized for having a body
(popular leftist voice) these right wingers are so mad because they get no women. if you are a Good Person a woman will appear and suck your dick.
(popular leftist voice) these right wingers are all sooo poorrrr and stupid. They are stupid because they are poorrrr, racism would never exist in my suburban area
Popular leftist voice: these right wingers must have brain damage. They must be bigots because they are literally reta suffering from blsck mold, or brain damage.
i call this one “using tumblr as a person of color”
might update with more images at some point

there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic
The older i get the more i understand why some people become obsessed with privacy, not because they’re hiding something, but because being constantly perceived starts to feel spiritually exhausting.
Did you know that soda machines at restaurants and movie theaters spy on you? That most common new cars now record your sexual preferences and send it to the manufacturer (and also data about anyone who also gets in your car, walks by your car, and maybe happens to be within visual range of your car)? That grocery stores are trying to force customers to download an app to scan barcodes on shelves instead of putting up prices, so the app can scan the phone, decide how much that customer should be squeezed for, and adjust the price? That more and more innocent people are being sent to jail for crimes committed hundreds of miles away because an AI facial recognition algorithm spit their faces out and the cops didn't bother to do the most basic of checks?
I am not uptight about privacy because I'm hiding something. I'm uptight about it because the people who dismiss my right to privacy are dangerous to you and me and our families, personally, all the time.
And often, they are assholes, too.
i think we should be talking about the semi-recent advancements in cystic fibrosis treatment like all the time every day. there hasn’t been a drug like this since AZT medications for HIV infection it is truly fucking miraculous and very important
basically: cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease which makes the mucous a person generates extra sticky. it used to kill people in infancy, then with advancements in medical tech it killed people in young childhood, and until very recently cystic fibrosis patients could expect to live until about thirty years old with consistent painful lung infections and complications.
in 2019 the FDA approved a drug called trikafta (which is really three drugs in one) for cystic fibrosis treatment. what it essentially does is patch up the malfunctioning proteins that cause the extra sticky mucus. trikafta is effective on about 90% of cystic fibrosis patients.
people who had spent their entire lives in and out of hospitals, on and off of ventilators, suffering from pneumonia and sometimes treated through painful procedures like intubation took this drug, got out of bed, coughed up an entire lifetimes worth of mucus out of their lungs over the course of a few hours, breathed clearly for perhaps the first time in their lives, and now go on to live well into their seventies.
like isn’t that insane. isn’t that amazing. doesn’t that give you hope for the future of medical advancements and treatment. fuck. i think about it all the time……
There’s a WHAT.
For WHAT.
It's been amazing!
My ward is the respiratory ward - CF is one of the things we specialize in.
Since this med came out we haven't had a SINGLE CF admission to the ward
There used to always be a CF patient spending a couple of months with us at a time
There's a man who is 23 years old who I was sure would not survive his next admission (aim saturations 85% is end stage lung disease)
There's a set of the local frequent flyers that we all know so well
Except
No we don't
On the CF specialist ward (with reasonable staff turnover)
Half the staff have probably never even seen a CF patient
They are going to live
For the people asking "well how do we know people are living that long if it's so new????" Here's a page from the CF foundation about life expectancy.
Additionally, it should be noted that metrics like life expectancy are in no way a guarantee of... Anything. There are significant outlier CF patients who are at an advanced age now despite the odds due to a variety of different factors, having lived the majority of their lives before the development of modulators.
But the fact remains that the odds are better now than they have ever ever been before, by leaps and bounds. It isn't cured, and many patients still need significant treatment in addition to Trikafta, but it is so much better than anyone could have dreamed of twenty years ago, and that is a triumph.
Yes! My sister has a serious form of cf and finally is living a more comfortable and active life. She was also part of many of the clinical trials leading to these breakthroughs due to the nature of her cf. It's been very exciting to see.
They call it the never afford anything and kill yourself economy
to be honest i do have beef with some microbes
shoulda cooked it longer that gets rid ofem
why are you as an adult watching things at full volume in a public space
