the more girls you add to a story the more yuri situations you're able to produce.... something to consider

honestly I hate “can you pet the dog?!?” not for any of the common reasons but because it was initially interesting as a proposition of “can you interact with the world in a way that is not within the primary mechanical loop” and that very quickly fell away to being “well now any indie developer making a game has to have a pet the dog button or they’re going to get letters”

[ouroborosorder]

One of my dream projects has an NPC with a dog, and if you try to pet it, the owner tells you not to do that. If you try again, it bites you and you take damage. I want to do this entirely because I genuinely believe that this would make me feel way more grounded in the world than any “click button to see cute animation” would ever do, and also it would be really funny to have a game where people lose their runs because they tried to pet a dog they were told not to pet

something something extremely sexy when magic users resort to physical violence. yeah i have the power of god and anime on my side but i also have THESE HANDS. i cast Punch You In The Face. i take my magic staff through which i channel the vast energies of the elements and the cosmos and i cast Severe Concussion And Skull Fracture. casting time for xenoglossy too long, chose the quicker route of Stab You In The Throat.

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

i don’t think i’m exaggerating when i say that the average height for women in the US would increase by at least an inch if teen girls were allowed to eat as much as teen boys are

[riseofthecommonwoodpile]

and not to bring my own clocky bitch ass into this but if cis women weren’t so consistently starved their entire lives you’d see a lot more cis women with the kind of bodies that we currently associate closely with trans women. the amount that the standards of feminine presentation are culturally defined by malnutrition is crazy

[comikbook]

ngl the most important thing i was taught growing up was that its not enough to just be anti racist but to also be pro black

[comikbook]

hating racists is good ! but if youre only hating the oppressor and not uplifting the oppressed all you are doing is using a performative method to direct your anger at. being angry is good, but its not enough. you have to love too. uplift the ones that should be uplifted. celebrate black art and culture and people. celebrate blackness for the beauty it is

[draconym]

Sorry, my what? My pronouns? Oh, yeah I'm between genders at the moment. No, it's cool, I quit my last gender a little while ago because it really wasn't working out. I don't know if I even have a dream gender anymore.

[draconym]

Oh yeah, it did come with benefits, but they weren't really worth it. The culture was really toxic. To be honest I think I'd prefer a part-time gender so I can just be self-described in my spare time.

[draconym]

I mean, in a perfect world we wouldn't need gender, you know? We could just voluntarily be perceived as much as we're able, as much as makes us feel fulfilled. Having a full-time gender shouldn't be a prerequisite for food, shelter, and healthcare.

[earhartsease]

where's the future we were promised where robots do the gender for us

[hollanderthoughts]

Wait…. 😳 there’s a way out?

[hollanderthoughts]

Fuuuuuuck me. It’s through? And that’s the only way? Fuuuuuuuck dude

legit the best advice i can give you: feed your friends

any time someone is in any kind of crisis or upheaval, offer to feed them. tell them they don't have to choose what it is if they can't make decisions, just ask about allergies and preferences and tell them you're just gonna make food happen at their house.

friend having a baby? delivery gift certificate to order food to the hospital after the kid shows up.

someone's relative passes away? offer to make them dinner.

buddy gets laid off? ask if you can order them lunch.

pal stuck in a depressive episode? offer to drive them to fucking mcdonalds, if that's what they want.

people in crisis are tired and sad and angry and the last thing most of them are doing is thinking about feeding themselves. so if you have the ability or time or money, providing that is always, always a good move.

legit i do this all the time, and it is 100% always appreciated. i have taught all my friends that when something happens, we feed each other. it makes people feel extremely cared for, and I cannot recommend it enough.

[sandersstudies]

Right after I reblogged this I found out a friends’ mom was hospitalized — this is such a good reminder

If you can, provide disposable plates/utensils and save them from doing dishes — when my husband was diagnosed with cancer, bulk paper products were our most appreciated gift

before my egg cracked, i had noticed that trans people were often pro-accessibility and up-to-date on the needs of disabled people, but i hadn’t seen any inherent connection between the two (other than the obvious minority-looking-out-for-other-minority thing). but now that i’m trans and medically transitioning, and i have to constantly repeat myself while talking to doctors and nurses, and explain things about my own anatomy to medical staff who should already know this, and having every single problem i might have blamed on my “condition” so nothing i say is taken seriously, all of the sudden i have a little sneak peak into the life of someone who has to deal with this all the time. like shit bro, being disabled probably sucks ass, someone should do something about this

[persbaderse]

happy disability pride month, we all deserve autonomy and respect and access to medication

Trump warns of "communist menace" in speech at Mount Rushmore on eve of July 4th

The president kicked off America's 250th anniversary celebrations with a speech at Mount Rushmore where he warned of a resurgence in communi

Set against the backdrop of the granite faces of four of his predecessors*, Mr. Trump said Friday night that American identity was under attack from communist ideals, taking aim at what he called "radicals" and "extremists" who attack American history. "There is now a resurgence of the communist menace in our land, including from newcomers to our country who embrace ideas totally opposed to our way of life and our great success," the president said. "You can be a communist, or you can be a patriot. You cannot be both." "You do not have to be born here, but you do have to love what we have built, you must love our country," Mr. Trump told the crowd in South Dakota. After speaking about the dangers of communism, the president said the only way to ensure that the Republicans win the midterm elections is by abolishing the filibuster and passing the SAVE America Act, which would require Americans to prove they are U.S. citizens when they register to vote, and showing a valid photo identification before they cast their ballots. "As we march into our 250th year, incredible, beautiful year it will be, we must never forget: There is no American freedom without American culture, and there is no American founding without the American people," Mr Trump said.

*imperialists whose faces were carved onto the mountain sacred to the Lakota nation, who call it Tȟuŋkášila Šákpe Pahá, which the United States agreed was theirs in a treaty before deciding to break that treaty in order to exploit the gold found in the Pahá Sápa (Black Hills).

also (from here):

Masked demonstrators were seen marching through Washington, D.C.’s Eastern Market neighborhood on Saturday as the nation celebrated its 250th anniversary of independence. Dressed in khakis, white face coverings, sunglasses, and caps bearing the logo of white supremacist group Patriot Front, the members were seen gathering near Union Station and marching through Capitol Hill, according to WTOP. They carried several flags: American, Confederate and flags with Patriot Front’s insignia. Some were seen carrying upside-down American flags. Videos posted on social media showed the marchers chanting, “Life, liberty, victory!” and “Reclaim America!” as they proceeded through the city. They were also photographed riding Washington’s Metro system, as seen in photos published by Reuters. When reached for comment, a Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) official told The Hill that MPD is tracking what it described as “First Amendment activities” that occurred Saturday morning in Washington, D.C.’s Eastern Market neighborhood. “MPD recognizes the rights of individuals to peacefully express their views and remains committed to maintaining public safety and security for DC residents and visitors,” the spokesperson said in a statement. The demonstration drew opposition and counter-protestors. In a video circulating online, a man using a bullhorn shouted, “Every single one of you justifies the f-ing right to abortion,” at the group as it marched through the nation’s capital.
