we cannot see the word automata without seeing tomato in it
Tomata can be the plural form of Tomato if you're brave about it.
so automata are:
golden tomatoes
tomatoes from a different timeline
These tomatoes are gonna grow themselves, y’know!

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.
in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.
But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.
our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.
anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.
Alright then let's teach the dumb Americans - would you tell me about these Maori historical figures? What are important dates to remember, are there landmark laws that were passed, that their anniversaries are celebrated? How do you celebrate?
google exists. you've got every resource available to educate yourself yet still yell at other people to do it for you. at this point ignorance is a choice for you
Heyyy you're not the OP nor a follower of mine either, nice to see another person digging through the notes! Are you also deliberately seeking out someone to get mad at?
nope just calling out proudly ignorant people
I notice that @w0nderland42 has some names and dates and events in their 3rd and 4th paragraphs. Might be that @texasdreamer01 could use what is already there to find stuff to read, which might conceivably include other names, dates, and descriptions. And the information path from there might even be a hair more obvious. And it wouldn’t even take more than a little copying and pasting.
this pride month we’re all going to be radically pro transgender. or else.
hey so this means radically pro ALL transgender. don’t put limitations on this. all trans people are radically accepted here.
So, remember how Mr. Rogers used to tell us to look for the helpers? Well, radically accept my children. Not only are they trans, they are also helpers. So that’s two good things!
And plus also too, all the other trans people are good people just trying to live their best lives. No matter what they do with their time.
All trans people accepted here.
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH, EVERYONE!
Special mention to my fellow asexuals and aromatic people! Be unapologetically yourself!
My best friend is ace. And now that you mention it, I realize that she does smell good, too. Ace-aromatic.
having to wade through absolute miles of search results offering us "serums" to help our eyebrows grow, in order to find what we actually searched for, which is "why does one eyebrow grow faster than the other" and even then we couldn't find anything less vague than "maybe hormones?"
but yeah, it really wouldn't surprise us if this is just another dysautonomia thing, we're now having to trim our right eyebrow twice as often as the left one - we have to trim both regularly or they do this (and yes we know it's based, but it gets us exactly the wrong kind of attention)
and that's not even as long as they get
But just think of the TOS guest spot you could have had!! I would totally defend you from offensive jerks.

i think the reason why english is such an awful language to study grammatically is because english linguistics tend to be mainly descriptive (from what I've seen at least) while spanish linguistics are largely prescriptive. that's why you end up with 50 exceptions to every rule. now you all know i hate prescription in language but...maybe we can have a little this time...as a treat

When I was born, there was not a single country in the world where they could have gotten married.
In the year 2000, there was not a single country in the world where they could have gotten married.
The first country to legalize same sex marriage was the Netherlands in 2001.
Now, in 2026, there are thirty-eight countries with same-sex marriage, with another two on average being added every year (x). Including three of the most populous countries in the world (the US, Brazil, and Mexico, x).
Altogether, over a billion people now live somewhere that same-sex marriage is legal. Twenty-five years ago, that number was zero.
Things are hard right now, but in so many ways they are so much better than they have been for a very, very long time.
Never lose hope, never kill yourself, love wins.
This reminds of the first gay man I knew who died of AIDS. I didn’t know him well, but he was a really nice guy. Now, ignoring a whole shit ton of related stuff, we have an actual cure for AIDS. And even in some of the most intolerant spaces I’ve been in, I could be known to be friends with trans people and have some in my family without being notably judged myself. The improvement is slow, uneven, and often painful. But it is real. It is.

Beautiful. The light and shadow are so good.
Every time the government talks about declining birth rates there never seems to be the realisation that if you make becoming a parent completely unaffordable then people will simply not have kids.
Shocking, I know. But do you know how fucking dire a situation has to be for people to simply not want to have children?
Not interested in ‘I don’t want to have kids anyway’ reblogs on this one, I’m obviously not talking about people who actively choose not to.
That fact that women have reproductive and financial freedoms that were unheard of even two generations ago also contributes here.
That is very much women actively choosing not to have children which wasn’t the point.
both unaffordable and increasingly feeling like an ethical decision not to bring kids into *gestures to everything* even for people who would love to have kids
Just a question I have: if you find having children is unaffordable, how is not having children NOT an active choice? If you’re sexually active and do not use any kind of prevention, that is in itself an active choice.
If you are a rape victim and become pregnant, then affordability is irrelevant except in the aftermath. Obviously you have not made an active choice for or against pregnancy in this case.
there's a distinction to be made here between people who actively do not want children under any circumstances, and people who want children, but must actively choose not to have them because they couldn't afford to have them if they happened
I understand the distinction, I just think it is an active choice either way. The real issue is why we allow the continuation of a system that robs people of choices in favor of billionaires who understand nothing beyond their obsession with power.
Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.
I haven’t been a practicing librarian in several years, but we were having these preservation conversations when CDs first came out. The early CDs only were reliable for about 10 years and cheaply made ones were worse. I built a whole library collection in the mid nineties using servers that held stacks of data CDs, but only for journals, magazines, and newspapers. These discs would get updated replacements monthly. At the same time, I managed our vertical files with newspaper clippings going back to the fifties.
Physical media, people. Demand it. Chain it to your shelves, medieval style.
