Never doubt your ability to fluster a cute girl

In a meeting today a PhD physicist whom I respect very much pronounced "leeward" like "lee-ward" instead of how it's actually pronounced ("loo-ard") and I had to psychically fight off the spirit of my New England Fisherman grandfather from correcting his pronunciation in front of like three VP's.

people need to stop advising each other on how to spot AI images/ videos based on increasingly unreliable minuscule details and start advising each other on how to find fucking sources. Not only because 9 times out of 10 your most reliable "tell" that an image or video is AI is finding the source account literally tells you in the bio, but because this is also applicable to spotting when somebody is Lying On The Internet. Something people increasingly seem to forget absolutely can and will happen without the use of AI.

maybe if more trans women were allowed to tell trans storylines (and if fans weren't, y'know, hypercritical about how those trans storylines should always and exclusively look) then we would get more diverse & different-looking stories about being trans. but complaining that a trans storyline by a trans woman who was sent to conversion therapy is about pre-cracking/repression rather than being out is fucking abysmally closeminded.

it really seems to me like some people think “explicit representation” means the character looks into the camera and say what their identity is in fluent therapyspeak and nothing less than that will be accepted. and we gotta let that mindset go, folks.

somnophillia is super funny like im honk shoo honk shoo having a good nights sleep and now you must pass the ultimate test of fucking me without waking me by knocking something over or stepping on a crisp packet i've left on my floor. can you finish your mission while my pet geckos judge you from their tanks? because they're not leaving the room okay the geckos stay in here. also the markiplier fnaf playlist stays on. i sleep better when he's screaming.

all kink stuff is playing pretend but with somno you're not playing pretend you're locked in you're comfy cozy you're snug as a bug in a rug and your partner is playing pretend instead

and like. if you're the one awake you're playing pretend so hard right now like ouuuuhhh look at me i'm a scary evil intruder or a demon or vampire or whatever we're doing tonight and now i just have to uhhhh okay shimmy the duvet off and shhh dontfucking breathe so loud and okayyyyy alright now. ah shit they're sleeping in the family guy death pose how the fuck do i get in there how. how do i. help. why are these geckos looking at me.

plus you have to not get too scared when freddy fazbear jumpscares you or else you're waking them up with your screams

oh great and this guy's here in the cuck box wondering if the screaming is me waking up or markiplier dying or toy bonnie throwing a tantrum

There's cultural relativism and then there's naive anglocentric cultural dipshitism where you go "well, they have a word for a thing you put on your foot to protect it from the environment, but that word doesn't NECESSARILY translate to shoe because they make them differently from how we make shoes, so really they don't have a concept of a shoe the way we understand shoes, and also they have a more spiritual understanding of covering your feet when going outside, so really it's completely different" and then you ask someone from the culture in question, and they're like "yeah that word just means shoe."

I cannot produce the words to describe how deeply I am disgusted by the way a lot of people talk about being nonbinary as a temporary stepping stone to becoming "full-trans."

im always caught off guard by all the ianthe fanart that makes her like really really pretty & put together. like obviously there are textual allusions to her being good-looking & it's a matter of interpretation & whatnot, but like from all the descriptions of her as like, deflated & colourless & wearing ill-fitting clothes, i was constantly picturing her as kind of gawky & not especially manicured. yknow, someone who like, hasnt really figured out conditioner. and then i log on & see that 1 nonagesimillion people have been picturing her as heidi klum

woman likers on tumblr do to ianthe what the man likers have been doing to tumblr sexymen for years

An analysis of posting trends on Tumblr suggests that the ideal form of the visual novel is a semi-linear murder mystery whose gameplay consists of solving middle-school "who lives in the blue house?" style verbal logic puzzles, except every time you guess wrong a mean bisexual MILF makes fun of you.

I guess tbf I spend a solid 99% of my life with my head in the sand pretending straight people don't exist so I skip over almost all of the wildly misogynistic stuff that saturates most kink spaces

Yes I did say this and the rb a dozen anti-straight posts in a row fight me
