honestly βthe lion doesnβt concern himself withβ is a pretty good anti-ocd phrase
the lion doesnβt concern himself with managing other peopleβs feelings
the lion doesnβt concern himself with what ifs
the lion doesnβt concern himself with germs
the lion doesnβt concern himself with reliving that one excruciatingly painful moment for the one thousandth time and imagining a better response
the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive
βWhat if poor people abuse the system?β
The system intrinsically abuses poor people.
Hope this helps.
"What if poor people abuse the system?"
Rich people abuse the system far more and out of pure greed, not necessity or desperation so idrc about that
Everyone's so focused on Grace's primary hypothesis (life doesn't need water) remaining unsupported that you're ignoring his secondary hypothesis (the Goldilocks zone is for idiots) being proven correct

literacy + reading comprehension + critical thinking comeback 2k26 let's make it happen

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.
OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.
And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.
I love that Rocky is a bland beige rock with too many limbs and no face! I love that he's so unmarketable and goes against the rules of character design principles!! Yet he is SO beloved!!! he sparks joy in millions!!!! In times where big corps try to replace art with the most boiled-down-edges-smoothened slop thats supposed to appeal to everyone and in doing so: appeals to no-one-- We have Rocky. I love you Rocky.
unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.
Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.
Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.
By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.
There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.
That's queerbaiting.
Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.
The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.
Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.
Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world

Wdym you hate Stratt? Without her you donβt get a story
Omg I love this piece. Grace the hanging man, content with his life but cannot avoid the changes coming; the ship his noose, the rope that binds him to his fate; the blood red stars beside him, Olesya and YΓ‘o the angels haunting him in the background. Eva Stratt, the one who holds it all on her back, the world is literally on her shoulders, the Petrova line on her neck. She will not falter, cannot afford to move, and yet still she glares at us. Eva challenges us, daring us to ask if we could do better, if we could hold her burden for even a fraction of the time.
Eve, the mother of sin, who held the world in her hands and was cursed for not knowing.
Eva, director of the task force, who now holds the world, and still must curse man to save it.
In the end, it always falls on a woman. I could never hate you Eva Stratt

@vinceaddams ?
@knottybliss patterns!
Oooooh I gotta check this site out
I can't believe more people don't know about the antique pattern library! All those public domain, vintage handiwork books and magazines are scanned in pdf format, and FREE TO DOWNLOAD! Languages include French, Italian, German, and English. It just does need to be mentioned that most of the earlier English publications are British, so American users need to make sure to convert the instructions as necessary. Especially crochet instructions, where a British double crochet is an American single. No, I don't know why π€£
Publications include (for those who can't see the picture) :
Battenberg Lace, Beading, BerlinWork, Bobbin lace, Bookbinding (yes, bookbinding!!!)
Calligraphy, Carpentry, Crochet, Cross Stitch, Cutwork
Drawing, Dressmaking
Embroidered Net, Embroidery
Filet, Filet Crochet, Flower Arranging
Glass
Hardanger
Irish Crochet
Knitting, Knotting
Lace (soooo many forms of lace making)
Macrame
Paper, Point Lace
Quilting
Ribbonwork
Sewing
Tatting, Tulle Embroidery
Various
Waxwork, Woodworking
Workbasket Magazine -- a publication that usually posted multiple different crafts in each issue.
It's a wonderful site, and I've loved it for nearly 20 years!

This is very stupid but itβs genuinely what I think about every time I consider skipping dinner after work
How i feel whenever someone i know says they dont eat 3 meals a day
This is the best ad for Project Hail Mary I have ever seen. Like if I was on the fence about watching or reading it, this would convince me to do so.

playing republic on swtor is like ohhh the insidious empire with its dark, dark plans. we have to be careful. we have to consider all angles. everything's on the line. playing imp is your boss telling you darth clownus and the girls are doing some fucked up shit in public again and somebody has to copyright strike them because darth rudolphtherednosedreindus has claim on said fucked up shit and wants to do it first
the swtor sith order is hilarious bc its way more grounded than the Jedi Order. Darth ResumeCheckerous, Dark Counciler over the Sphere of Unemployment, is beefing with Lord ChatGPTous because he know the mf tryna make his job disappear. There's like zero mystical whimsy to the Reconstituted Sith Order, this shit their 9-5 w2 job.
That why they be force choking mfs who fail. Imagine you at your fuckass goverment job (during a war that threatens to make yall all extinct) and your Imperial Intern accidentally deletes the oneDrive, organization-wide cloud Excel Sheet? yeah, im losing my shit and force electrocuting them too.
like Emperor Vitiate/Tenebrae like 3000+, his ass dont know how to use the HoloNet, so now you gotta go through bullshit setting shit up on his holoComputer again. I'd hate to be over the Sphere of Technology bc you got all these centuries old Sith Purebloods who don't know shit. And you the Dark Lord of IT Support.
this why mfs needed 15 apprentices at once tbh
it easy for the Jedi to be peaceful monks bc they not involved with rayroll or HR.
