cell bio professor closed out today's lecture on free-radical oxidation in mitochondria and programmed cell death by saying "you've probably all seen those commercials for fruit juice that says it's got antioxidants, which are said to prevent this sort of thing from happening, or at least slow it down. well, they don't work. this is an inevitable fact of life— this process that lets us live is also the thing that kills us, and it's why all of us will die someday. there's no escaping that. it's been with us since the dawn of eukaryotic cells; our pact with mitochondria is to the death. anyway, enjoy the rest of your friday, and remember, exam four is next week!"

Tumblr actively hunts down and deletes legit trans womens blogs as a policy but encourages and cultivates porn bots that use stolen trans sex worker's content. This is propaganda and affects how we're viewed by other users, makes our own tags unusable for us, is unfathomably transmisogynistic, and reveals a lot about how staff views us. Our bodies are a commodity that they want on their website, but our words are not welcome.

when you like a beautiful mutual's selfie and you feel like the sewer witch touching them with your gross long finger

quirky fourth wall breaking character but theyre just fucking. wrong about the medium theyre in. they keep making references to cinematic techniques and directorial styles and the other fourth wall breaking character is like "dumbass we're in a fucking comic book" and they are in a video game.

Well currently they’re in a tumblr post but I see your point

phone somehow autocorrected "the joker" to "the worker." why so devoid of class consciousness, batman

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

I feel like we’re not angry enough that certain websites are nearly unusable by default because the ads take up 90% of you screen of some bullshit that you don’t need and you have to fight for your life to avoid opening malicious links and some guy is talking about selling you viagra somewhere under a different fucking ad and when you finally find what you’re there for THE BUTTON IS FAKE!!!

and yeah ad blockers exist, but it shouldn’t be necessary?? a website at bare minimum should be usable??
