babygirl ur upset stomach is cuz chemical reaction of food in yo belly created 8 demon chariot riders and they rode off each into one cardinal + intercardinal direction to go light beacons in nightmare towers etcetera
I love that Gold’s togekiss kept the personality it had as a Togepi. Togekiss are supposed to be blissful peace-loving creatures but every time you see Gold’s togekiss it’s like >:)
Actually the shreads at the start were of more than one paper, seeing as they fall out in the start, and some of the liquid spills, yet the paper is still bigger than A4.
reading the Murderbot Diaries rn and I am routinely shocked by how fucking autistic the main character is. was that intentional. I feel like I’m going insane
okay so that’s at least one person who would have no problem if they got sent back to medieval times, the guild hall absolutely going off to this mashup
Listen, I know we dunk all the time on people who think they can flawlessly tell who’s trans, but as a doctor looking at bodies is my job. I can tell who has heart failure or liver failure from looking at them. I can identify Parkinson’s from a shuffling walk or hip arthritis from an antalgic gait. I cannot, for the life of me, clock every trans person visually.
You know how I know this? When I started at this job, my new boss told me that a member of the staff transitioned a few years back and everyone did some learning and was supportive (or else). He told me this bc he knows gender care is one of my special clinical interests, right up there with psych and migraines. And when I met my new team I said to myself, ah! There is the trans person. I felt SO bad for her being seated next to the vaguely fascist Republican Ortho guy. I told her repeatedly about how excited I was to have the opportunity to care for trans patients.
Turns out not only is she cis, SHE’S a Republican. I made her uncomfortable! I was like cisgender? With THAT hair???? GIRL YOU ARE SIGNALING THINGS! There are SIGNIFIERS!!!!
So yeah no. People can’t “just tell.” I ought to have gaydar and I ruined an entire work dinner for that woman.
#op was the republic ortho guy trans
Sadly no, he is just your garden variety orthopod who MUST believe that he DESERVES the insane amount of money Ortho bros earn.
what I’m hearing is that that ortho isn’t trans YET
I mean, or “that I know of,” clearly I can’t clock for shit! And he is on the short side!
McDonald’s giving away free fries if you use their mobile app and then updating the terms and conditions to say if you use this app you waive your right to trial in any class action lawsuits and have to do mandatory arbitration is INSANE
because i haven’t seen this in the notes yet: it is also VERY SIGNIFICANT that they are doing this as more and more people are learning about BDS. mcdonalds is one of the massive companies that palestiniens have been calling for boycotts of for years. it’d be a very convenient time for them if you ignored the ongoing call to boycott.
last week i was sitting at a red light and was getting honked at SOOOOOOO MUCH and looked up and this guy was slamming the horn and the girl in the passenger seat was like trying to pull his arms away from the horn. then i remembered i have this bumper sticker
I have listened to the arguments and vague classism and racism and I have decided that I need to do the job myself. I am going to come in with a wreaking ball and demolish the suburbs myself and nobody can stop me, you have 72 hours
i hate meme advertising i hate brand tiktok accounts i hate “self-aware” corporations i hate manufactured relatability I HATE MEME ADVERTISING everyone go explode now
I stopped reading DNIs because 90% of the time they were just fucking inscrutable to me. I’d go to somebody’s page and it would be like “DNI if you’re a COSLA apologist,” so then I would Google COSLA and it was just like “Welp, either things are really heating up in the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities fandom or I still have no idea what the fuck this person is talking about.” Or “DNI if you identify as ANFO.” Okay, well, I definitely don’t identify as Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil, but that’s probably not what you meant (although hey, maybe you did; I obviously don’t know enough about your views on chemical compounds to outright dispute that option).” Like, you have my blessing to hate whatever obscure fandom pairing or super niche kink group you want, but just know I am embracing ignorance on this one and will not be looking that shit up. Peace.
if someone knocks on your door and says “hey, you’ve got the neopoints for it, why not splurge a little? spin the wheel of extravagance” don’t do it. that’s the devil. and he’s trying to lead you off god’s beautiful cobblestone road onto the beaten path to hell
I owe a lot to that vanished group. Were you in it? I miss you. Made this short comic for Dirty Diamonds #4- breakups. If you missed it at MICE and SPX this year, it’ll be at Asbury Park Comic Con in 2014, and fingers crossed for TCAF.
this comic is ten years old!!!! The obfuscated forum was a matrix fanfic/RP guild on neopets around 2000-2001 . I’ve never been able to find any of the people in it, but I still think a lot about the slightly older mod who ran it and the folks I bumped into in fandom spaces who helped me figure out how to survive online; I owe a lot to them.
In the early 70s Sesame Street was created with an eye towards educating poor, inner-city children for free, and became a massive hit with all children. In 2016, faced with going off the air forever after facing conservative efforts to destroy public broadcasting since basically its beginning, new episodes became a timed exclusive for premium cable network HBO. In 2022 HBO Max, newly merged with and taken over by reality TV channel Discovery, removed Sesame Street episodes and spin-offs from streaming as a tax write-off and scheme to avoid paying residuals.
Sesame Street’s official YouTube channel is uploading the episodes for free, btw. A lot of creators are rebelling against this bullshit.
As always, America, PBS has you and your kids’ backs.
I also want to put in a plug for the American Archive of Public Broadcasting, spearheaded by GBH in Boston to preserve and make available public funded programming from around the country. More than 7000 public television and radio programs are available to stream through the website, with more than 40000 hours of programming archived and available to researchers and educators through the Library of Congress and GBH itself.
