saw a comment that misspelled “kind gesture” as “kind jester” and am now imagining a beautiful world where we praise good samaritans by calling them kind jesters. good on you, you gentle fool. you’ve made the world a sweeter and sillier place.

we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap

the same sentiment goes for words like "theyfab" by the way. even if this post is primarily about misogyny, making up words to mock nonbinary persons who "post femininely" or "don't pass" or whatever is transphobic (and dareisay still somewhat misogynistic to denote someone as "girly" for the way they post) and still stems from the same general source. especially when it's used in the context that I usually see it used, wherein the target has not posted about their gender at birth at all and people on here still assume "afab" because they post about "girly" topics (or use they/them at all; there's definitely a weird trend on here where people just assume somebody using gender neutral pronouns must be afab). Cut from the same cloth, same shit different toilet. you go wash your blog out with soap too.

you people aren't CASTING

I think it's insane that even in the most leftist and "progressive" spaces the idea of equating morality with looks is alive and present and no one fucking bats an eye at it. like racists and mysoginysts are always portrayed as fat and hairy and generally unkept, as a contrast to the morally good and attractive leftists of course; people will have no problem being genuinely fucking awful about someone's appearance if they're deemed to be a "bad person". and the worst part is you point all of this out and people act like you're reading too much into things like no dude you gotta start using your brain more

Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

OH HELL THE FUCK YES

is anyone else annoyed that "ai" encompasses both chatgpt and tools we train to do repetitive tedious work for us. and by the ripple effect of articles like "scientists develop ai to detect cancer early" that make people argue for the merit of chatgpt or become anti-medicine. and by the general state of the world and society
