WOWZA

“i do not dream of labor” yes u do. labor is fulfilling. u dream of a world where ur labor isnt exploited and its that or starvation. i guarantee u dream of labor. labor is a necessity and in and of itself is a good thing.

if u dream of having a garden, of painting murals, cooking or baking for people, researching in a lab, or writing stories, u dream of labor. which is good! we all jus hate having our labor exploited and being underpaid for the value of our work. nobody wants to just sit at home and do NOTHING as quarantine proved! in and of itself labor is fulfilling and contributes to the betterment and advancement of society, too many people are just barred by arbitrary divides (class, education) and unable to perform labor they’d be best suited for, or that type of labor (arts, service industry) is undervalued and underpaid.

Happy pride month to the tiny cowboy and tiny Trojan man from Night at the Museum

when we talk about internalized oppression (including internalized fatphobia) a tricky little shift happens, and that’s a privatization of pathology. so if you as a human are affected in your inner life by a system of oppression, we say you’ve “internalized” it, and that’s bad. this subtle shift in location of blame is poisonous. YOU have internalized the oppression, and now we’re focused on your private experience rather than on those systems that created it. the reality is that we have to focus on both, but we should never lose sight of where the fault lies, and that is not w the individual, the victim! it’s entirely in the external oppression. we may each have to do our own consciousness-raising & healing work (even that’s collective) but the fundamental problem is not the internalization of the thing, it’s the thing itself

i open the atla tag to see art i missed, and the first pic i see is a shirtless sokka. y’all have got to stop thirsting over a 15 year old. what the hell. 

This is abt adults thirsting over a cartoon character that’s supposed to be 15 btw. If you’re 15 and you like a character that’s 15 there’s no issue. This is specifically adressing the adults that feel the need to air their sexual frustrations by basically drawing child porn.

i’ve stopped trash talking comic sans after learning the font is actually one of the only dyslexia-friendly fonts that come standard with most computers and i advocate for others doing the same

In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans, other dyslexia-friendly alternatives include Arial, Verdana, Tahoma, Century Gothic and Trebuchet.

thank

Random fact: Verdana is one of the few fonts which was specifically designed to be as easy to read as possible, even at smaller type sizes. It was designed this way for use on screen, but the same principles apply in print too. This is part of why some Universities use Verdana as their default font for documents.

“In the event that you would like to continue hating Comic Sans” is one of the best things I’ve ever read on this website

@pedeka @lunariagold @darklittlestories

I’ll take Comic Sans over Arial any day. 

Century Gothic and Trebuchet are both quite handsome typefaces.

I’m partial to Century Gothic as well. It’s serif, but not boring.

I default to arial for this reason, but I will now be defaulting to verdana or dyslexie. nice.

I don’t think I have dyslexia but that dyslexie font was the easiest fucking thing to read ever. Books should be written in that shit.

This is dope. I freaking love how much more accessible this information is nowadays.

for our dyslexic ravens.

I always thought I was a decent reader, but holy crap that BeeLine made reading enjoyable lol

Beeline reader also has a built-in setting for changing the font to the OpenDyslexic font, so not only will it help with tracking via the gradient color changes, it can alter the font to help without a second app/extension. I use both together and it’s wonderful!

If you can’t afford Dyslexie, there’s also OpenDyslexic!
