[cannedviennasnausage]

I suddenly have the urge to grate cheese on a great white

[flanoirbunny]

grate white

[shutupandtalkgeekytome]

This post got weird

[jennytrout]

This post started with fucking hairless sharks. Weird wasn’t a destination so much as a jumping off point.

I’ve never been so surprised not to encounter the word “smooth” in a text post

[the-final-sif]

Smooth shark post happened circa 2017, this post occurred in 2013 (posted) + pun added and 2015 (Jennytrout enhancement), years before smooth sharks would be discovered and revealed to the public.

Absolutely befuddled that smooth sharks was only from 2017.

Horrified to discover 2017 was almost 10 years ago.

Recent discourse reminds me of that cult indoctrination trick that's often used to weed out more difficult marks early on, where they tell you all that you aren't allowed to eat rice on Tuesdays and then if you protest they go "wow SOMEBODY likes rice a little much huh" as if you're the fucking weirdo who cares too much about how much rice is consumed between Monday and Wednesday instead of them.

And this forces you to decide whether your autonomy matters to you more than the approval of the group - while they'll still act like you're on thin ice either way, if you give in at this point they know you're theirs forever, because now they've established a foothold, you've shown a moral weakness, which they will brand you with so it can be used against you in the future ("hey RICE-addict here doesn't want help break into the city records office") to force you to double-down and isolate you further.

And if instead you do decide to push back further, after your abrupt departure from the group ("You're seriously leaving us over RICE?!? Seriously?") and subsequent ostracism, you can then be used as a demonstration to the others who were more pliable, of how the outgroup is full of people like you who are obsessed with violating the No-Tuesday-Rice rule to the point where they'll abandon all their friends, who cared so much for them, so it clearly isn't an arbitrary restriction, you're the kind of monster these rules are intended to protect them from, thus all the other wise and esoteric precepts of the charismatic leader are implied to be equally justified.

This isn't just for cults either! Shitty partners, bosses, friends - they all do variants of this where if you kick back the first time they make an unreasonable request, it proves you weren't ever committed since you'd let such a small thing ruin everything. And of course, if it's the third or the tenth unreasonable thing they ask of you, it's SUCH A SMALL THING to be a deal-breaker at this late point in your relationship!

medieval high fantasy has never appealed to me personally, but your odds of getting me invested are so much greater if you pick a specific time and place to base it on.

like, it’s one thing to be medieval fantasy. it’s another to be early 1200s frisian fantasy.

A book you hate teaches you more than a book you love. The book you love you absorb passively, it works and you feel it working and you move on. The book you hate you interrogate. Why doesn't this land. Why do i not care. Where did it lose me and why. You become a diagnostician. You start understanding the machinery from the inside by watching it fail. I have learned more about pacing from books with bad pacing than from anything else. Read the ones that frustrate you and take notes.

[rederiswrites]

Just watched Adam Conover (of Adam Ruins Everything) make such a solid point that I think we should spread far and wide. Yes, having AI write your emails is lazy, sure, but people love being lazy. We need to really emphasize that sending AI emails (or using AI responses on social media, or publishing AI flyers, or or or) is rude.

It's rude. You're making someone take their time to read something you couldn't bother to write. You're telling them they were so unimportant you couldn't be bothered to actually take the time to say something yourself. And frankly, you're lying about it while you're at it.

It's rude.

And here is the resulting image. There is at least Someone in the U.K. government who is actually doing their job, and it is Chief Mouser to the Cabinet, Larry the Cat.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

to be fair, the rest of the government does also regularly stand up in front of the nation's press and proudly show them the bloodied corpse of whatever they just killed

[beardedmrbean]

Congratulations on the cat

It's always wild to find out that an author of transhuman sci-fi is an outspoken transmisogynist. Like, pump the brakes, buddy – you think personhood is mutable but gender is innate?

[notgilderoylockhart]

subscribing to a fic isn’t enough I need the author to blast a bat signal into the night sky whenever they update

I’m all in for non-dysphoric people with breasts to get on binders as a fashion choice. Popularize and normalize binders so dysphoric people who wear them aren’t outed for owning them, increase visibility for safe binding practices and brands, and also completely change the vibe of your fits at will.

I’m cis and love having tits but I put them away all the time — sooo many of my outfits are improved or just made different this way.

[hexesandwyrmwood]

Boobs are an accessory and do not go with every outfit. It is so ok to just go ‘huh this looks weird, let’s see if I can fix it’ and then it does fix it

[queer-as-city-folk]

I mean, iconic?
