i love declining birth rates 🥰 "what a horrible problem! society will collapse!" oopsie it looks like you're gonna have to make having children worth it 😊 teehee you're gonna have to improve society in order to fix this problem, or it will all collapse. oh noooooo. how horrible. :3c

think it's a deep consolation to know that spiders dream, that monkeys tease predators, that dolphins have accents, that lions can be scared silly by a lone mongoose, that otters hold hands, and ants bury their dead. that there isn't their life and our life. nor your life and my life. that it's just one teetering and endless thread and all of us, all of us, are entangled w it as deep as entanglement goes. v neat i think.

was anyone gonna tell me mitch mcconnell collapsed in his office and has been in the hospital for weeks. wouldve been a nice pick me up.

edit it WASNT in his office it was at HOME. oh well im not that picky.

his aides are being really cagey and the governor is pissed because if hes dead he needs to appoint someone but he needs to know hes dead to do that. typical mitch blocking a democrat appointee. he maybe died doing what he loved i guess.

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

I HC that Sidious put him in upper management specifically to make that hate flow. He looked at Jedi Anakin and thought to himself: what does this guy like? Jumping out of moving vehicles at 30,000 feet? Well, we won’t be doing *gestures at all of Anakin* that. Put this guy in an office.

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

actually the sanitization of lesbian media is because of transmisogyny. every backslide you've percieved in acceptance and equality is because of the rise of transmisogyny. free the nipple. marriage rights. clothing options. bathrooms. its all because of this big bioessentialist conservative puritan push to try to erase trans women from society and specifically lesbianism. you cannot leave us behind and expect a better world.

I love uninstalling shit. Get out of my computer.

i also love using task manager to kill things! Cease this

this is really interesting in how it frames disability/low spoons/etc as not being a series of internal symptoms, but specifically a situation in which daily tasks increase in complexity. for example i used to be able to wash the dishes normally. but now mental and physical issues combine to make that situation have a lot of prequalifications (do I have time, energy, how long can I do it without being sore the next day) that means many more steps are involved in getting that single physical act of washing a dish to be done.

I’m trying to remember the quote. “On a good day, doing laundry is three steps. On a bad day, the first step is getting out of bed.”

I'm really skeptical of the pre-painted terrain that wh40k is doing, not for quality reasons but like. Who's painting it? Where? Under what conditions, using what methods?

Like the labor evaluation suddenly moves from "How did this injection-molded plastic sprue get into a box" to "How did they scale up the process of applying all these painting steps, of which there are clearly quite a few, to this extent?"

Ok so apparently there are printers for this now. That's something, at least.

it’s being UV printed I believe, which UV printing for toys and such has become a much bigger thing in the past. two years or so, I suppose it’s been perfected technique and cost wise. i was talking to my partner about UV printing in my doll collecting and the pros and cons and he mentioned this terrain and it made me really interested in seeing the end result given what i know about UV printing (you can do a bunch of colors at once but it can look “pixelated”)

no one cares that you shave your legs because of sensory issues shut the fuck up forever

really galling amount of people misinterpreting this post so i'd like to clarify. i'm saying that when discussions about patriarchal beauty standards and the way women are heavily shamed and coerced into eschewing their own natural state of being (hairy) are occurring, it is unhelpful (AT BEST) to interrupt and say that the reason YOU remove the hair from your body is because of sensory issues. that's not what we're talking about. stop asking for validation for doing something that society at large wants you to do. stop derailing the conversation because you feel uncomfortable about being made aware that you, for whatever reason it is, adhere to harmful, unfair and ridiculous beauty standards. you're stepping into the middle of an important conversation that needs to be had and making it all about you. shut the fuck up forever.

also quite frankly i think a lot less people would experience sensory issues if they let their hair grow out so that it isn't bristly and rough and irritating. and i cannot help but wonder why these sensory issues aren't as predominant in men. maybe you're uncomfortable with the hair on your body because you've been taught to be uncomfortable with it. just a thought.

Do it scared but please don't do it hungry. Please don't do it dehydrated. It's gonna make it so much scarier. Please.
