I think quite possibly my favorite line from GLaDOS in all of the media she's been in is "Federal regulations require me to inform you that this next test chamber... Is lookin' pretty good."

She sounds so smug and pleased with herself

So many "I was born too late" takes are actually "I was born poor" like I'm sure you WOULD have loved whatever historical quirk you're talking about, but sadly you would not have been allowed to do that. You would have died in a coal mine aged 13.

[pog-mo-bhlog]

Being afab will not protect you from dying young in a coal mine. They put wee lassies down there all the time and sometimes they died, just as the boys did. Your understanding of historical gender roles is filtered through the gender roles of the mid 20th century. Yes you would also have faced other gender based violence on top of this probably, but that doesn't make you exempt from death via coal mine.

Also thank you to every single person of colour in the notes pointing out how white the take I'm critiquing is. You are 100% right.

The Deal

Part of being homeless, of having to make a choice of when and where and how to sleep, is the Deal. You do not know it is a Deal when you make It. You will not know You've made a Deal until You're out, if You ever get out. If You ever successfully get out.

The Deal is a simple one, one You would agree to before seeing the full Terms.

The Terms You will see before You make the Deal:

You can Sleep without a bed.

You can Sleep at any time.

You can Sleep in any place, with Your body in any shape.

You can Sleep while uncomfortable.

The Terms You won't see:

You cannot Sleep deeply or soundly.

You cannot Sleep a full night without stirring.

You cannot feel safe.

You cannot rest.

The Deal will keep You alive. But one day all this surviving will kill You.

happy pride month

[star-angel-selkie]

this one kinda hurts when i see it every pride month. im glad to see an art piece of mine still circulating, and with nearly 100,000 notes too! it just hurts that im separated from it. everyone in the notes thinks im gone. im still here, but my potential community and connection is lost because im forgotten in place of the art. yeah, my deactivated profile does add to the profoundness of what i was saying, but i am still removed.

[ot3]

"kids deserve good art instead of slop" is also the wrong takeaway. the kids need slop too. ideally from the moment you start reading board books to your kid you should try and work in a ratio of like 7 things that are actually good to 2 that are mid but have potential and 1 thats complete dogshit. this will allow them to start exercising the parts of your brain you use to form and develop media opinions as soon as possible. follow my instructions to the t and gen beta or whatever the hell they're gonna call the next one will start producing the kind of experimental webfiction the likes of which we are not yet capable of imagining. you'll see. you'll all see.

[firekillshydras]

This is fucking stupid.

You are so fucking stupid.

AI slop is not an acceptable substitute for bad/mid art. Art created by a person can never be slop.

Fucking jump off a bridge you fascist fuck

[ot3]

lmaoooo this schmuck thinks human creators can't make slop everybody point and laugh

[mlembug]

Art created by a person can never be slop.

I am making a concious effort to not say 'terf' anymore because trans woman excluding radical feminist(twerf) is wayyyy more accurate about what these people are doing. trans men/transmasc people aren't necessarily excluded from their hateful rhetoric, but the vast vast majority of their hate is directed towards trans women. we are who they constantly obsess over, and in fact there is a significant number of trans men who are sympathetic to twerfs!

[read-marx-and-lenin]

i feel like the main thing a lot of people who hate the dprk say is that it doesn’t allow emigration out of the country. so, why is that?

(asked January 24)

The DPRK does not forbid emigration outright. DPRK citizens can leave the country legally provided they follow the proper procedures. There is no internationally recognized nation that does not enforce some restrictions on emigration, typically requiring at the very least the presentation of a passport at designated border crossings. That said, it is true that emigration is restricted much more heavily in the DPRK than in most nations.

However, the context is important. The DPRK remains at war with the ROK and the US; while a ceasefire has remained in effect since 1953, no peace treaty has ever been signed. The DPRK has been placed under an effective siege for decades due to US-led international sanctions, and it is illegal under these sanctions for any person holding DPRK citizenship to earn money abroad (although this is enforced more in certain countries than in others, and plenty of DPRK citizens work abroad, usually in Russia or China). Furthermore, if a DPRK citizen were to emigrate to the ROK, the only other Korean-speaking nation, the ROK government would likely forbid them from returning to the DPRK if they so chose. There are in fact multiple DPRK emigrants living in the ROK who have been prevented from returning despite requesting permission to do so. One such woman, Kim Ryeon-hui, recounts in the documentary Loyal Citizens of Pyongyang in Seoul how she has been denied a ROK passport for years due to her desire to return to her family in the DPRK, to the point of having attempted suicide.

Is it difficult for a DPRK citizen to legally become a citizen of another nation? Yes. It is difficult for a DPRK citizen to legally leave the country in general? No, DPRK citizens travel abroad all the time, for both work and leisure. Any difficulties regarding travel or communication to and from the DPRK, however, result from the state of conflict that the DPRK has been placed in by the US and the ROK. And until that conflict is resolved, very little will change in either the DPRK or the ROK.

Id also add that many of the restrictions for travel are placed not by the DPRK itself but by countries restricting entrance of those with DPRK passports. here's a comparison from passportindex.org

green is entry without visa, blue is visa on arrival, red is pre-approval for a visa which can vary from possible but tedious to defacto impossible

here is the DPRK compared to China, Canada, US, and UK respectively

this shows countries own rules and acceptance of the relevant passport, not the rules said country has placed own their own citizens. you can read the full list of each country on the site yourself

Id also highly encourage anyone curious about the topic to look up their own country's rules on not only the DPRK passport, but on their own citizens travel to the DPRK. In the US for example, it is illegal for citizens to visit the North, while you can go there more or less just fine, because they don't have rules against US citizens (though you might be seriously questioned), if you return you can be imprisoned with a felony and will certainly be blacklisted from further travel with your passport revoked

disclaimer that this was just a quick look on my phone. a lot of this information changes with time and can sometimes vary based on source. I recommend checking the things I've said above on your own time to build an understanding yourself

[pokeballvictimized]

remember when people were like "this grown woman used the word chunni to describe herself therefore she must want to fuck 8th graders. theres no other explanation" that was, pardon my french, really fucking stupid. like oh my god.

[rui-cifer]

that was clearly a pathetic attempt transmisogynistic pedojacketing but the mechanisms of it in this instance was only possible due to the deeply incurious and frankly racist ways in which many people, especially westerners, interact with Japanese culture. Before neotrances' harrassment clique found out that leveraging accusations of racism towards people from the global south for being vocally anti-USA worked a good majority of time to drive them off the site, he was pedojacketing trans women for having any anime art on their blog. The ways in which Japan's cultural outputs, especially ones for mass consumption, is treated by default as harmful and sexualized is an underlying logic in how anyone can feel comfortable with using a term like chuuni this incorrectly for the purpose of pedojacketing.

it is just really cool to know that once you're in the harassment cycle no matter where you go it literally never ends like its really just great how nowhere is safe and basically any popular website is also just kiwifarms because people really love their groups it's okay to hunt down and kill these days, much like any other days actually, same shit different targets, sometimes just same shit same targets, but what really just makes it all that much worse is how okay everyone is with this shit, not just okay but seeing it as necessary, vital action to take and it makes me sick it really does

the countermeasure to dehumanisation is not sexualisation. the countermeasure is to treat the other person with respect and dignity actually.

[bebsi-cola]

i don't care if you wanna fuck fat people or hairy people or trans people or the elderly or disabled people or whatever. can you treat them like human beings
