I can't find the post but there's this one post that's like "aging is less than 1% as terrifying as whatever the fuck is going on with people desperately trying not to age"
That but with weight.
Getting or being fat is less than 1% as terrifying as whatever the fuck is going on with people desperately trying to not be fat.

"we live in an uncaring universe." sorry the special planet full of beauty and animals and food literally growing out of the ground isnt good enough for you. i guess
βIn the same way your heart feels and your mind thinks, you, mortal beings, are the instrument by which the universe cares. If you choose to care, then the universe cares. If you donβt, then it doesnβt.β

youre monogamous? ohβ¦ itβs ethical, right? ethical monogamy? okay good for you! i mean pretty much every monogamous couple iβve met didnβt work out but maybe you guys will beat the odds! haha. so is it a sex thing? you guys have sex with- just each other? huh. how does that work? i could never do monogamy, iβm too jealous, iβd worry my partner would leave me for someone else instead of dating us bothβ¦ how do you deal with the jealousy? is it hard? like, how hard? extremely? do you think youβll break up? i mean in the long run these things rarely work out,
quarterly reminder that if i reblog something ai-generated it is 110% and always an accident and for the love of god please tell me so i can delete it from my blog
Probably my last post about Taylor Swift, until she or her fans manage to piss me off again, but here we go.
Everything her fans bring up to defend her or how good she is just shows how much of a bad person she is.
"She is an ethical billionare!" No there is no such thing. The first thing that comes to mind is that she sells the same album in 8 different versions with no/minimal changes. And her fans just buy them without a second thought. Exploiting your fans isn't really ethical is it?
"She donates a lot of money!" That's called a tax write-off and her accountants do it.
"She is a feminist!" Just no. There is a lot to talk about here. Blocking other female artist on charts isn't really feminist. Making a teen girl give you credit for a song you had no part in isn't feminist. Calling another woman a dog isn't feminist. Picking on your boyfriend's ex in a song isn't a feminist thing either.
I'm honestly surprised she didn't have anything with Sabrina Carpenter.
"It's not Taylor's fault she is too good. The others have to get better." The swifties are crazy and will buy everything she releases. Some of them were listening to the Showgirl album on mute. They didn't like it. Timing a release everytime another woman releases something is just shitty. You can't call her a girl's girl, when she is actively blocking other women from success.
"She is not the only person using a private jet!" Yeah, and they are also shitty people. I hate them too.
Every single rabbithole I went down in just surprised me. How did this woman made people believe she is a good person?

all the rights that come with marriage you should be able to have without marriage btw. you should be able to designate a person who can visit you in the hospital regardless of your relationship to that person.
People in the notes are saying "You can!" referring just to the hospital visitation part, and sure (depending). But people should have access to ALL of the benefits of marriage without needing to be married.
You should be able to add anyone you want on your health insurance plan.
You should be able to sponsor the visa of anyone you choose to move to your home country.
You should be able to name anyone you choose as the legal-from-birth legal coparent of any child you give birth to.
You should be able to apply for student aid on your own at any age.
And yes, yes, ideally healthcare and college should be free, international migration should be unrestricted, and the entire concept of legal parenthood should be rewritten from the ground up. But right now we're talking about marriage benefits.
Oh.
Things might actually be *bad* bad, huh?
Keep in mind that the lowest amount of time is more than double than even the harshest sentence given to anyone who participated in the attempted fascist coup on January 6th
A 75 yo man proudly came into the cafe wearing an Ultra Maga hat. I excused my barista from the register to handle the transaction.
"The hat is customizable," he said, struggling with the velcro patch on the front. "If I need it, I have an ICE one too. I pick based off the business i walk into."
"Customizable is an important hat descriptor," I said. "what can I get you?"
"You wouldn't believe how offended people get these days," he said. "And I'm supposed to do something about it if you're offended? You chose to be offended!"
"We all have hundreds of thousands of decisions everyday," I said. I thickened my accent. "That's what my stepdad always said. But I can make one easier - we have a delicious Ethiopian roast available."
"Like if I told you you have a bull ring," he said, "because bulls have rings in their noses. Is that offensive?"
I laughed. "I've heard that before."
"It's a joke, but people get offended. Maybe you're offended."
I looked at him. I smiled. "You aren't trying to offend me though, right?"
Of course he was. I was being friendly and the friendlier I was, the faster he switched topics. He was saying anything inflammatory he could think of to see if I'd take the bait. After about 20 minutes of my redirecting and deescalating, he settled into a more normal interaction. He took up too much of my time showing me a product I'd feigned mild interest in to get him to stop talking about getting accused of inappropriate behavior at work. When we finally disengaged, he spent 10 minutes trying to catch my eye again. When he failed, he left.
There's this new breed of customer who insists on trying to incite political conversation through their clothing and, when that doesnt work, their snide little comments. If I owned my own business, maybe I would have given the guy the fight he wanted. But I work for a corporation and I love paying my bills so I deescalated.
Anyone wearing that type of shit and preying on workers for their own spank bank material is a brainless fucking sheep.
So I found out from one of my patients that itβs insanely stupidly common for naturalized immigrants to the US to end up with documents that literally just entirely have their incorrect birthday on them purely because the idiots working in the US immigration offices are too fucking stupid to know that we are the only country in the world that uses the month/day/year date format.
So anyway my patientβs birthday was like November 3rd, not March 11th. And sheβs actually not 21 for another like several months dude.

oxidized copper is such a beautiful color palette. The rich reds with the cool teals. Such a vibrant combo. No one is doing it like her.

hello gorgeous do you come here often
We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.
Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky
Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*
You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.
*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.
I say that I hate what the internet has done to the word triggered and people think it's because the word has been divorced from its original purpose to describe trauma and PTSD when what I really mean is that I hate that the internet has erased the fact the word triggered was and continues to used not just in mental health spaces but also in general medical spaces to refer to any symptom of ANYTHING that can be set off by outside factors.
Now you've got people with conditions like OCD, autism, ADHD, allergies, chronic pain, seizures, etc who are told by one group of people that triggers are a joke and an insult and then told by the "correct" and "good" people that triggers are exclusive to trauma and no one should use them if they aren't referring to actual PTSD flashbacks or massive panic attacks and now other ill and disabled people are missing a vital term to describe their experiences because they think they're not allowed to use it.
Like c'mon, in allergy spaces foods with allergens are literally referred to as trigger foods and you've still got "mental health activists" online insisting that you can only say you've been triggered by something if you have PTSD. That isn't advocacy for traumatized people, it's ableism that is stealing important language from EVERYONE.
ALSO triggers are not necessarily major or severe. You can be triggered and have it not ruin your entire day or week. In a lot of cases, you can learn coping methods to be able to experience a trigger and move on; obviously that's different with things like seizures or allergies, but many other triggers can be handled and only have minor impacts on someone.
I can work through most of my migraine and pain triggers, though I probably shouldn't. I have learned to breathe through my anxiety and OCD triggers. My delusions were triggered BAD last night and I am surviving, even if I kinda wish I wasn't.
Triggers can be major and severe, but many of them are just. Frustrating or a brief thing you take a moment to work through or even a mild inconvenience. Ideally, for mental health triggers, you WANT to turn them into a mild inconvenience and figure out management and coping methods to make that happen.
idk i would personally rather give up access to certain products seasonally or locally than have people enslaved to give me the ability to have any product any place any time. i think i can go without tomatoes in january.
Yes this but also: relearn preservation skills!!
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7981801-putting-food-by
You can have tomatoes in January if you dried/froze/canned/pickled them in July!
Double also: getting in touch with heirloom varieties and growing traditions again! You can have tomatoes in march that still taste and feel fresh if you seek out the right hanging storage varieties - a guy named Hans Fama has been in the spotlight lately for developing / re-finding some of those breeds, but delicious storage varieties exist for most crops, especially the ones humans have been domesticating and nurturing for millennia... combined with chilling and refrigeration techniques, you get cool facts like that even most "fresh" supermarket apples are over a year old before they get to you!
Humans love preserving things
Not book smart or street smart but a secret third thing.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.
If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.
It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.
It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.
This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.
