It's always Barry Allen loving hours here

a volcano for the opening emergency as a metaphor for something that's been dormant for years suddenly erupting because something fundamental has changed which is now shifting the entire landscape and making it impossible to ignore anymore in this essay i will—

i hate all these ai chat ads but especially the ones obviously targeting teenagers in fandoms,,, like you should not be talking to an ai!!! these blorbos exist in your head!! you should be making fanart you should be doing awkward roleplay you should be making crack fanfic,,,, why are you outsourcing fun to a robot

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

I love that thing when people get a little bit tongue-tied and garble what they’re trying to say so they make a little “blegh” 👅 noise and start over. verbal reset button. hitting the top of the tv to unscramble the signal

you know those studies showing that cursing helps with pain tolerance or whatever. that’s how i feel about making my weird little noises to get through my basic daily activities. sometimes you just have to go hggblaaaah for a minute so you can find the strength within yourself to get up or wash the dishes or send an email. mmmnneh. urgh. the torments are unending but you can always make some little sounds about it.

ask our AI ass—i cannot overemphasize how much i will not be doing that

okay so anyone who follows me knows I am always always always bitching about artists depictions of trans women but like holy shiiiit this is REALLY good. Like soooo much art that isnt by trans women fall into two camps of "draw a cis woman and later say shes trans" or "draw the most virulently transmisogynistic caricature possible" but this piece is just so..... real? Like, there are real actual trans women who look like this for once in a billion years. this kicks ass

I fucking forgot that Harry Potter ends with Harry going “I wonder if my slave will make me a sandwich”

everyone got taken out by the dogshit epilogue that this got buried but oh my god lol
