canon is a suggestion and i'm not listening

like people forget that weird girls grow into weird adult women. it doesn't just go away. and no you don't perish when you turn 25 or automatically turn into a nonweird wife and mother like some kind of Pokémon end evolution, you end up like me.

i swear if this is the second stupid sword picture post i make that gets to 10k i'll just go kill someone

so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias

When we choose to avoid history because it's Problematic or Says Bad Things, we are choosing to divorce ourselves from understanding how we came from that time to this one, which makes it even more likely for the cycle to repeat, with no one but a few people with shelves of old books aware that it's happened before.

idk who that little rock creature is but no one can beat THE Nintendo DS.

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

Getting down on my knees and thanking the humans who invented dishwashers and washing machines.

InsNe that dishwashers are more efficient and easier than just washing them manually but they also use less water. It’s a win win situation

They ALSO sterilize dishes, due to operating at a far higher temperature than human hands could ever tolerate. It's a win every way.

what’s the mood for july?

Obviously Red Pill and related movements were mostly full of shit but I do think it's useful to break down exactly where they go off the rails. For instance, the idea of a sexual marketplace. The idea that large numbers of repeated consensual interactions converge to something like a market is imo not unreasonable. But then they start applying ideas that are either only true in idealized, perfectly competitive markets, or are not true of any market at all. Thinking for just two seconds should reveal that the actual sexual market place is full of assymetric information, high transaction costs, and non-fungible products. But the most egregious oversight of this line of thinking is the implicit assumption that there is low market concentration and no market power, something that is immediately recognizable as false when we realize that a solid 42% of US domestic sucking and fucking was provided by your mom.

To be clear, it's inaccurate to describe your mom as holding a monopoly position in the sexual marketplace. What she's achieved is not dominance through exclusionary practices, but rather an exceptionally competitive cost structure and historically low barriers to entry.

It's incredibly sad people have to resort to this, but it's a damn good resource. Use it. Spread awareness. Maybe one day people with physical disabilities won't need DIYs like this. But until then, reblog and share.
