had a dream ImpulseSV came out as bi and for some reason this made Elon Musk really upset so he started tweeting about it angrily and hermittwt ratioed him so hard in response that he banned all mention of Minecraft from Twitter.
This made me cry. I wish all situations could be handled as perfectly as this
I just want to point out the core of what the diffuser did in this conversation
They recognized that the mother was also expressing a vulnerable truth about herself - that she felt like a bad mother because her child was expressing gender feelings she wasn’t equipped to help with - and met her where she was, a concerned parent with limited information - to point her where she should be heading, research and resources.
Im going to make more of an effort to stop reflexively pushing people away when they express biases and make more of an effort to hear the underlying fears when i can
“it’s easier to love ourselves when we feel loved as ourselves”
damn that is so powerful though
“it’s easier to
love ourselves when we feel
loved as ourselves”
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
Just found out I was thirsty not by receiving a signal from my body about it but by dozing off and dreaming about cold water from different alluring angles. This is great. I think all my wants and needs should be revealed to me this way
people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it’s fanart and it’s legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.
what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.
you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.
in honor of this becoming a world heritage post or whatever

Hey OP, I hope you know that this went from an amazing post to literally the best post on this site
Queer history fact: Frieda Belinfante, the first woman in Europe to be artistic director and conductor of an ongoing professional orchestral ensemble, joined the CKC resistance group around the beginning of WW2. CKC included other queer members, such as Willem Arondeus. In her interview with the Holocaust Museum, she claims that she was the one who pointed out that if they were going to forge documents, they also had to destroy the originals so no one caught on. This led to the destruction of the Amsterdam public registry on March 27, 1943.
As a woman, Belinfante herself was not allowed to go on that mission, so she only knew that her fellow group members were captured when her right-hand man didn’t show up to the meeting spot. She immediately abandoned her home and disguised herself as a man. It was only later that she learned the others of the group had been executed.
The reason the English language’s rules for constructing compound words don’t seem to make sense to speakers of more reasonable languages is because, in this respect, English obeys Roger Rabbit logic: in, for example, German, you can construct extemporaneous compound words whenever you like, but in English, you can only do so when it’s funny.
As a german i would like to do some outpointing and show that the english wordconstructionability is only held back by deciding whats right and what is wrong, and not by your ability to convey meaning
It’s a bit more subtle than that. Because there’s this tacit agreement that constructing nonce compounds in English is only “correct” if it’s funny, any time you do so it automatically sounds like you’re doing a bit. You can’t avoid that by deciding it doesn’t apply to you – your words gain a humorous subtext whether you want them to or not.
I must show disagreeability at the notion that funnymaking is the onlyest use of wordcombinification
I am away from home until sunday without a phone charger, have an outstanding power bill of NZ$53, and no funds to get food until next Wednesday at minimum. if anyone is able to send a few dollars my way, that would be greatly appreciated

Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?

Lol
yeah yeah carbon nanotubes. but what about the copper nanotubes.
I bet you’d need some high quality copper for that huh?
[Image description: A passage from the article which reads “"Biden for President staff have seen volunteers quit in droves, and people who have voted blue for decades feel uncertain about doing so for the first time ever, because of this conflict,” the Medium letter read.
“It is not enough to merely be the alternative to Donald Trump,” the campaigners continued. “The campaign has to shift the feeling in the pits of voters’ stomachs, the same feeling that weighs on us every day as we fight for your reelection. The only way to do that is to call for a ceasefire.”
“You have said numerous times that silence in the face of human rights violations is complicity,” the letter added “We agree, which is why we are speaking out now. Every minute that passes without a ceasefire is another life that is lost-a life that could have been saved with political action from you.”“ -end ID]

Dec. 29, 2023: Despite the well-documented war crimes against Palestinians and the humanitarian catastrophe inflicted by Israel … *the US sends more weapons*
This is not defense, this is not justice, this is an affront to international law. Palestinians are being decimated at this very moment.
ISRAEL MUST STOP THE CARNAGE. THE U.S. MUST STOP THE COMPLICITY.
I haven’t seen Palestinians or Gaza trending on Tumblr for the past several days — we can’t lose momentum. DON’T LOOK AWAY. KEEP UP PUBLIC PRESSURE. PUSH FOR PEACE.
no, wait, that’s incorrect. the brazillian flag makes me rationally angry.
but first let me explain that I have nothing against Brazil or Brazilians. They’re cool people in my experience, and I’m sure it’s a great country. but that flag has personally victimized me.
Look at this flag. What country has a flag this complicated? VERY FEW, LET ME TELL YOU THAT
and as someone who had to recreate this flag for their VGAPride program, because of the Brazil Gay Flag… ARGH this flag is so complicated.
It’s not the case anymore because I reorganized how the program worked, but at one point it had EVERY SINGLE OTHER FLAG in one file, and BRAZIL in another file, because if I put Brazil in with any other flags it would crash the program. I had to modify the max limit on how many graphical commands a given flag could take, because the Gay Flag of Brazil was MORE COMPLICATED THAN AT LEAST HALF THE OTHER FLAGS PUT TOGETHER. I had to add the a new command for drawing different sized stars as otherwise this flag would be way too complicated to implement.
and the worst part? Scroll back up and compare those two flags. I didn’t even do that good a job of implementing the flag! Some of it is because I’m limited to 640x480, but some of it is just that this flag was so complicated that it was hurting me too much to create.
And that’s after I wrote a secondary application to let me design flags outside my program, because manually designing this thing like I did EVERY SINGLE OTHER PRIDE FLAG I EVER IMPLEMENTED would have been too hard, especially with the text (which is again, isn’t done that well. especially that “E”, which is way too straight, especially for a gay pride flag).
Like, I’m sorry Brazil. You’re cool, but your flag gives me PTSD flashbacks.
weird discovery: it’s not exactly my fault that the flag is so wrong? Like, here’s my version of the gay brazil flag overlaid with the SVG from wikipedia. It lines up pretty well, except for the smallest stars.
But then we overlay the gay brazil flag over the actual brazil flag, and…
none of these stars line up!
which is bullshit. the layout of the stars is defined by law. there’s literally an official government diagram on how you align the stars:
so whatta fuck.
please tell me I don’t need to go modify the SVG on wikipedia, because some other fool made it wrong?
okay so.
The SVG on wikipedia was uploaded by user Eddo (since renamed Giggette, apparently?) in 2010. It got updated in 2011 by Fry1989, but that was just a fix to adjust some of the colors.
Now, Eddo listed it as being their own creation, but then also said they got it from a site called National Gay Flags of the World.
That site is long gone, but I found a partial archive from 2012. Annoyingly the internet archive didn’t manage to save the Gay Flag of Brazil flag from that page, so I can’t check how it aligned the stars.
But here’s the weird part: They say that some flags have a logo before them, which means they were designed by Greg Gomes, the creator of the site. And if it does, this is a copyrighted flag by them, and you need to get permission to reuse them, and you need to give credit.
And guess what? The Brazil Gay Flag is one of those!
So now we’ve got two problems:
This flag seems to be copyright infringement of a Greg Gomes design, which has been incorrected marked as public domain (ie, no restrictions) for 14 years!
So not only is the flag wrong (due to a mistake by either Greg Gomes or Wikipedia user Giggette), it’s copyright infringement!
Catch me being a modern-day cyberpirate screaming up alongside you on the 405 in my mad max car with half a bitcoin farm’s worth of RAM in the backseat as I hack your Bitchless Towyota™ device and steal the boat you’re towing right off the back bumper of the tesla your dad bought you
As i roar into the sunset you have to swerve* to avoid the small flotilla of hacked Towyota devices trailing behind me
(*in fact you do not swerve because you’re on hands-free driving to go along with your hitch-free towing so you can only watch helplessly as your tesla mistakes your stolen booty for a small child and accelerates crashing into it and killing you instantly)
these lovely cowies r club calves! theyre selectively bred crosses, for cow shows!
the “blowdried cow” pics you see on da internet r usually posed shots for different breeding websites and stuff that export semen so u can breed ur own club calves from them! yay LALALALA
big fan of the trophy tranny in mad max 2. i entirely understand wez i think if someone killed a catch like that on me i would go berserk too. jesus christ what a loss for the world
i know theyre just intended to be a twink but god, look at her. thats the tgirl grimace, ive seen that everywhere. i would treat her right. let me chain you up instead babygirl i need you
The country may be different, but true ideals never die
so due to my whole Situation i decided i would not have the energy or patience to keep up with my cool hair and made the decision to just fuckin shave it. i also stopped shaving my body hair. chronic pain and reclusion have butchmaxxed me and lemme tell you: im fine with it lol. kinda think the buzz is cute. your perception is not my purpose indeed.
like my ideal job is honestly i own an extremely shitty bookstore and cafe and you cant order anything from a menu except cold brew coffee (when we run out, we run out) or you can ask me (i am standing behind the counter) for a drink and i will make you a weird espresso concoction based on what i feel like making and it will always cost a flat 5 dollars (i know, coffee should cost less, but here we are. sometimes the drink will be a scoop of vanilla gelato with an espresso shot poured over. sometimes it will be a coffee seltzer. it will probably just be a regular latte most of the time with sprinkles on top), but sometimes i hand you a grilled cheese sandwich or maybe a novella i like instead. we’re only open for three hours between 4-7 in the afternoon btw.
you can also trade me a book in like-new or Good condition for a coffee, but only if it’s a book i want to read.
its the sort of place where none of the chairs match but we do have like, five million outlets and i wont say anything if you want to stay there for the three hours we’re open and only buy one coffee. honestly if you’re cool you can stay later than that but only if you listen to me talk about my wizard novel.
i think what we’re really missing in society is third places with bizarre proprieters.
