love island should introduce a "scheming eunuch" islander who is like a smart and completely asexual islander exempt from being kicked off or being made to participate in any challenges and they're just there to provide advice and be a sort of sounding board for the other islanders when they need a disinterested party to talk things through with. but the scheming eunuch has secret goals unbeknownst to anyone e.g. a cash prize for talking a certain couple into breaking up etc.

"why are so many leftists disabled" maybe it's because disabled people don't really care for the "kill all disabled people" parties but who can say

auto immune disorders happen when the immune system ignores regulatory factors and begins attacking healthy bodily tissues, due to what scientists refer to as "sheer love of the game"

When I was a little boy, girls used to just do random cartwheels for no reason. Then one day, they stopped. Now that I am a man, no women randomly do cartwheels. This is because society is evil and killed the cartwheel impulse in their soul. They don't even spin horizontally anymore. It's fucked up.

The 2026 Gender Census is now open!

[ survey.gendercensus.com ]

The 13th annual international gender census, collecting information about the language we use to refer to ourselves and each other, is now open until 13th August 2026.

It’s short and easy, for most participants it takes 5 minutes or less.

After the survey is closed I’ll process the results and publish a spreadsheet of the data and a report summarising the main findings. Then anyone can use them for academic or business purposes, self-advocacy, tracking the popularity of language over time, and just feeling like we’re part of a huge and diverse community.

If you think you might have friends and followers who’d be interested, please do reblog this blog post, and share the survey URL by email or at AFK social groups or on other social networks. Every share is extremely helpful!

Survey URL: https://survey.gendercensus.com

The survey is open to anyone anywhere who speaks English and feels that the gender binary doesn’t fully describe their experience of themselves and their gender(s) or lack thereof.

Thank you so much!

My "It can't be that bad- no one from the 29th century showed up to undo what I did." t-shirt is raising a lot of questions from Temporal Investigations that my t-shirt should have explained.

Trinity's just the Character of all time for me. This intense, aggressive reaction to anyone showing vulnerability, from Whitaker down to a tiny baby, but she can't keep it up for more than ten minutes before she goes gooey soft.

The tender feelings locked inside are her #1 ENEMY, the aggression she vents is directed toward her own stupid fragile rabbit heart that refuses to harden no matter how viciously she punches it, that loves loves loves loves even as she grits her teeth against the horrible feeling of worrying, of caring, of tenderness! She does NOT want to feel tenderness, don't put it in the papers that she feels tenderness! Look Away! She is made of steel and spikes and tattoos! This lullaby is pure selfishness! Babies are annoying!

Whitaker's too pathetic to leave on his own so she HAS to invite him to live with her, and he's too naive to realize he's in too deep on the Farm so SOMEONE ELSE should talk to him about it and keep him safe! Not her, though, she doesn't care!! There’s nothing soft about her, inside or out!!!! Stop looking at her like that!!!!!!! She's strong and mean and a bitch, she's Trouble, okay!!!!!!!!!!

Me as an art critic: this piece really explores the… Misogyny of the artist 🤔

man sometimes friendship really is just "I saw this and knew it would give you psychic damage. please respond with agony" and then they do. and it's great

[mortalfortaxpurposes]

anti rpf people are so funny they're always like "how would you feel if people shipped you with your friend" i don't know how to break it to you but if i was famous and no one was writing fanfiction about me i would be devastated. i wouldn't feel like i made it until i could search my name on ao3 and find 10k+ explicit results. peace and love though

So many fiber arts have difficulty levels that are less about your level of skill than your ability to tolerate extreme multi-step processes.
