i do wonder how mamdani would have solved a problem like the green goblin

punkitt-is-here

lining the timeline up with the clues we have so far and realizing dess was probably an early teen when she went missing makes the roaring knights behavior make wayyyy more sense. Of course they'd be a stupid aura farming idiot they're permanently 15 with magic powers

punkitt-is-here

roaring knight: *messes up the plan again by posing cool at the top of the stairs and fucking around with the heroes because they can*

kris, now as old or older than dess when she went missing: ohhhh my fucking god was she actually like that and I didn't notice because I was 8 years old. oh god

punkitt-is-here

having to do a group project with the person you viewed as a cool older sibling but you're older than them now because of some bullshit and you're realizing how cringe they are. monumental aura loss cascade

you can make him transparent, if you want to

wwth the powar of technology u can do anytbing

can someone please please make his tail wag thank you

I think we need to kill the sentiment that people lose their right to personhood once they do something bad enough

I don't know who needs to hear this but you need to stop dehumanising people even if those people are "abusers" or "creeps" because you need to understand that you are not immune to doing something equally as bad

Abusers and creeps are not some species of especially heinous animal or alien or monster wearing the face of a human. They're people. And you NEED to drill it into your head that they are people because you NEED to remember that people are capable of doingn heinous shit. And you are a person. And your loved ones are people.

By emotionally classifying people who have done heinous things as subhuman filth incapable of thinking and feeling and acting just like you and me, and by using that emotional dehumanization as a reason to deny those people any compassion or support on a systemic level, you risk becoming blind to abuse/violence perpetrated by someone close to you or even yourself. Because if "abusers don't deserve rights", then you won't ever want to admit or accept that you or a loved one is perpetrating abuse, and that makes stopping the abuse or preventing further abuse much harder. This is how you end up excuaing abusive behaviour on the grounds that, since you don't see someone as a disgusting subhuman pile of garbage therefore they can't possibly be An Abuser, Trademark

And here'a the even harder pill to swallow: since the world isn't split into "abusers" and "good people", in the same way you or someone you love can inflict abuse/violence on others, the people who HAVE inflicted abuse/violence on others can, in fact, change and become better people

There is no bottomless chasm of moral uncleanliness that someone can run off and fall into and get stuck in forever. People can do better. Yes, even those people. You HAVE to accept this. Otherwise not only is there no motivation for anyone to try and do better (which is when people become stuck in a cycle of violence and abuse they don't want to escape), but your idea of a perfect justice system doesn't look any different from Literal Christian Hell. And I HOPE you understand that Literal Christian Hell is, to put it very lightly, not a good justice system.

Unchecked and fear-driven dehumanization is the brick foundation for fascism.

for the lovely lovely deafies out there who want to get involved in direct action you absolutely 100% cannot ever bring a hearing aid or cochlear implant with bluetooth to any direct action. bluetooth devices all carry a unique signal that can be used to identify you if it's picked up at a direct action. go with a [more] hearing buddy and communicate in sign language. if you don't mutually know a sign language then come up with gestures. do not risk your freedom because you want to have your hearing aid/cochlear implant at the action. it's not worth it.

flock cameras are also now tracking bluetooth device signatures when you pass them. if you drive past a flock camera with your bluetooth-enabled hearing aid or cochlear implant, the flock camera knows you passed through

thewolfwaitsbelow

Wait I just realized this is gonna apply to all cgms and most if not all insulin pumps. They’re all Bluetooth devices, it’s essential to how they work

I did not think it possible, but I have just developed even more hatred, derision, and contempt for the perpetual surveillance state.

"i don't care at all about the stock market or know what an estate lawyer is, because i'm not rich 😏" your death will be a nightmare for your loved ones to deal with and their death will be a nightmare for you. if you are an adult i'm not saying you need to have a trustee on standby for your vast fortune but you should at least know what "probate" means

this is your reminder that you should make a will. if you are in the US you can make a simple one for free at freewill.com, or willfora.com if you're in Canada. if you need anything complex talk to a lawyer (i promise a consultation with a lawyer is cheaper than probate delays/an extended legal fight.) but these sites will cover your basics (I want my partner to get my car, I want my roommate to get my cat, everything else goes to charity/my other partner/my kids/my next door neighbor who brings me brownies.) the state does not care that you have been estranged from your parents for a decade or have been separated from your spouse the money will go wherever the state says it does UNLESS! you have a will.

freewill also has healthcare directives! if you have ever been concerned about your partner(s) being unable to visit you in the hospital or make medical decisions for you if you are unable to make or communicate your own wishes - especially if you are unmarried/poly - you should have a healthcare directive. they are extremely easy to put together and you can designate multiple people as agents; freewill's tool also lets you designate people you do NOT want making decisions for you (for instance, your very Catholic parents.) if you're outside the US you can search "advanced healthcare directive (country)" and usually find a toolkit; often end of life advocacy-type organizations will have them.

nobody wants to think about these things but even more do you not want your loved ones to have to think about these things, very stressfully and expensively, while they are grieving you. make a will. 🫵

Australia's Fair Work Commission has just made a new order for standards for on-demand delivery workers, such as ubereats drivers.

The order includes terms about:

- minimum pay rates

- providing a gig worker information statement

- vehicle repairs, registrations and expenses

- record-keeping

- fines and insurance

- consultation about significant changes

- establishing a platform feedback forum for discussions with workers

- right to unpaid time away

- providing certain information to employee-like workers

- workplace delegates rights

- dispute resolution.

To read more about the new order, see here.

You guys are always like "being crushed by 10,000 tons of rock probably feels good as hell" or "being torn to pieces by hunting dogs would low key fix me" and I feel like those things would actually be unpleasant.

How about "Drinking an ice cold strawberry milkshake probably feels good as hell". Do you guys like that one.

Mama Mia it’s-a Wednesday

WRONG FUCKING IMAGE

HAPPY MAMA MIA ITS-A WEDNESDAY WRONG FUCKING IMAGE WEDNESDAY

I have reblogged this post on previous Wednesdays without adding anything to it, but I figured to respect the artist it might be a good idea to add a link to the source of the photo.

Anyway, Happy Mama Mia It's-A Wednesday Wrong Fucking Image Wednesday once again.

this is how trans people reproduce

#fuck with me #the system speaks #trans #transmasc

the leftism leaving people’s bodies when you tell them making fun of someone’s appearance is always objectively scummy even if the person they’re making fun of is bad

“lol are we really surprised that the dude who said eating puppies is good and morally correct looks like THIS” and then it’s just a picture of a completely normal looking person who is fat or has acne or just in general doesn’t meet the societally imposed standard of conventional “hotness,” which is bizarrely being posited as an indicator of morality

That video of Alex Hirsch reading S&P notes for Gravity Falls conveys a few things to me:

1) the U.S. entertainment industry (especially animation) is run by older conservative types who make up offensive terms and get really mad about them.

2) the people who run Disney would be the first to fall in line with a fascist regime.

3) most of the media we consume is tailor-made and watered-down to appeal to the tastes of older, deeply religious conservative audiences.

4) conservatism, not the left, is and always has been the biggest voice of censorship in American culture.

J. Michael Straczynski, creator of Babylon 5, was before that a producer and writer for a number of cartoons in the late ‘80s/early ‘90s (The Real Ghostbusters and the original She-Ra, most notably). After a few years of dealing with the censors and their obsession with finding Satanism (or at least looking for Satanism to further political agendas) he wrote an article about the whole corrupt and bullshit system.

And published it in Penthouse, to force those same censors to buy a skin mag. The editor there asked, why Penthouse?

That one is from his autobiography, Becoming Superman. See also:

(As he goes on to say, he’s never worked in animation again–he’s effectively been blacklisted by the cartoon industry.)

Every time something like this comes up, I remember two stories about making media. The first is about movies, and comes from Quentin “Feet Man” Tarantino.

When he was making Pulp Fiction, he was worried that the MPAA would object to the high level of violence in the film, so he shot a bunch of extra-gory stuff that he didn’t actually want in the film, and added it in before submitting it to the MPAA. Predictibly, they asked him to cut most of it (without even commenting on some of the things that had him worried, like the bits of Marvin’s skull that lodge in Samuel L. Jackson’s hairpiece). The resultant cuts were actually more permissive than he’d expected, so he cut a little more and submitted it, and it got passed with an R.

The second story is about that artist on Morrowind whose name escapes me (I’m not a big ES fan tbh) who figured out that if he made two creature designs, one weird and what he wanted, and one even weirder, he could get Todd Howard to agree to just about anything by showing him the whopper first, then going back and “working” for another few hours on a second, “toned-down” version, and it worked every time.

The reason I bring these up is that the thing that drives censors isn’t some extant physical rubrick of what is and isn’t acceptable, it’s the idea that they can have absolute power over someone else’s creative work. It’s about the social dominance of the interaction.

There is nothing so innocent, so clean, that a censor will not find some fault with it. Because they must find something wrong with it to justify their existence, and because it makes them feel powerful.

This is true of all censorship.

I am making myself some god damn fucking loaded fries and tots with egg and cheese and bacon and there's nothing anyone can do to stop me

ratbastarddotfuck

I've been so against air fryers for so long because when I was a teenager my stepmother had an incredibly stupid one & blamed me for how impossible it was to clean. I'm pleased to be able to admit I was wrong about air fryers, the technology has improved vastly in the last decade, and my mother now has a beautiful benchtop model which has two fry pockets almost identical to a deep fryer but because it's a convection oven you can cook so much more interesting things in it but the kicker is it doesn't require *trays* there's no fucking DISHES because all it uses is a goddamn paper liner in the bottom of the fry tub. I can set the exact temp and a timer and pour my shit in and leave it. I just put in a silicone liner and cooked fries and tots and bacon in the air fryer and then I put cheese and eggs and more cheese on top and I put it back into the air fryer because I can do that and once it's done I'll take the silicone liner and tip it unceremoniously into a bowl that is probably too small for the amount of food I've prepared but it will be okay because it will be the only real dish created from the entire venture. fuck my world dude.
