i'm nothing without an audience.

shit that no one ever tells you: sex is a skill. People often seem to have this false idea that, similar to being an artist, you're somehow just innately good or bad at it. But that is definitely not true. Maybe you have some traits that make it easier (or harder!) for you to be good at it, but anyone can get good at it with enough experience and time. (And communication. A lot of it. Like, some people you will just click with and won't need to say much to be on the same page. But for other people, you might have to explain specifically in great detail each step you wanna take and why. And then maybe repeat it a few times because people can also be forgetful.)

i appreciate everybody that’s sharing the sentiment that it’s good for anyone to quit smoking (it is) but i very specifically wanted to highlight and encourage LGBTQ youth because lesbian, gay, and bisexual people are about 1.5 to 2.5 times more likely to smoke cigarettes than heterosexual people, and the statistics for transgender people are even higher than cisgender people. this is due to tobacco companies marketing heavily and aggressively to LGBTQ communities and exploiting the higher rates of mental health struggles prevalent in our communities.

I feel like advertising is probably the funniest place anyone can choose to predicate their moral arguments against AI on the basis of environmental impact because like. The advertising industry is already probably the most wasteful i dustry in terms of environmental costs vs. actual value it provides, to the point that adding AI to it amounts to a very small drop in the world's biggest bucket.

Just an fyi about your bmi post, many doctors are starting to move to waist to height ratio, which monitors visceral fat (the real killer, which anyone of any bmi can have an unhealthy amount of) and general health promoting habits, instead of just bmi

Size does not determine health. Size does not determine health. Size does not determine health. Measuring it differently does not change the fact that size does not determine health.

Our terrible habit of making everything about individual experiences, rather than culture-wide prejudices and the systemic bullshit that develops from those prejudices.
