Kellogg’s has been hit hard by Woke Mob. Here’s a list of changes to their cereal marketing that we’ve been demanding:
-The “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” slogan is to be revised to “I’m mentally ill/neurodivergent for Cocoa Puffs.” -Lucky Charms’ leprechaun mascot, Patty O'Hatecrimes, must be changed to a normal Irish man who is critical of the british monarchy. -Tony the Tiger and the Trix Bunny are now a T4NB couple, to cater to the furry audience. -Fruity Pebbles can no longer use Fred Flintstone as a mascot, after his association with Winston Cigarettes was rediscovered. Consider using Jane Jetson as a substitute, to go for the Girlboss angle. -In addition, we can’t call the pebbles “Fruity” anymore. -Captain Crunch is to be renamed to Draft Dodger Crunch -Snap, Crackle, and Pop MUST become drag queens. more than anything else on this list, this one is non-negotiable.
at this point i could not care less about criticism of ai art that does not focus on its environmental impact, its labor impact, or its potential misuse in larger disinformation campaigns. “ai art has no heart :(“ it’s embarrassing that you care about this and also who gets to determine what counts as art with “heart” and who is capable of creating such art. google “degenerate art” right now
You know it becomes very clear when people on this website just hate when people relate to a post and talk about a separate but related thing. Like oh noo another trans person said ‘oh haha Ive experienced a similar thing’ to your post. Are you gonna cry and have a whole mental breakdown bc someone is sharing an experience and is trying to connect with other trans people? Gonna piss your pants maybe?
Anyway trans women who add on to my posts going “oh I’ve experienced something similar” I love you. You aren’t derailing, you are sharing. We are holding hands.
Everytime a trans person makes an addition talking about their own experiences on my posts we are doing this btw
running into a trans girl while you’re out and about makes the entire miserable errand worth it, whatever it was. like glancing upward at just the right time to see a shooting star. I spot a trans flag and it sincerely ceases to matter that the bus is crowded and it rained unexpectedly and my shoes are soaked through and my headphones are dead. I am happy to be on that specific bus on that specific day, because you’re there too.
ngl i used to think 25 years old was like ancient when i was 16. i think that’s just how ur brain works when you’re a teen tbh. the main thing to know is that your life is not over in your 20s or 30s, that’s usually when you first begin figuring out how you’re gonna live your life. it’s really not the end of your “prime” or whatever. that shit is spread by skincare and makeup companies to sell you shit. you’re fine
shoutout to when i got banned from being a dungeon master at age 15 because i kept putting gender tf traps in my dungeons and nobody could figure out why, including myself
“why do you keep doing this [deadname]” “idk it just feels like it would be really cool if all the characters became girls all of a sudden” she didn’t know, chat.
some troll on reddit started dming me and telling me to kill myself and calling me a tranny and all that. and then, a half an hour in, they spring this on me
A live broadcast captured the moment a cat jumped on an imam, who was leading a nightly Ramadan prayer in Bordj Bou Arreridj, Algeria.
Imam Walid Mehsas was praying Taraweeh, a nightly prayer occurring every evening during the month of Ramadan, when the cat jumped on him and climbed on his shoulders.
i dont think you guys know how much this blew up in Arab/Muslim communities, its at a point now where people are drawing this man and its kinda like a wholesome meme
going through the hades 2 stuff and im sorry but i just have to ramble a second because look at Hephaestus
he’s not just a wheelchair user but also an amputee. an above knee amputee. wheelchair users are already next to nonexistant in video games but amputees exist in this really…disheartening? spot where they’re pretty much just reduced to “person with a cybernetic limb” - it’s always just somewhere from “just a cool visual design” to flat out “superpower”. I can’t think of a video game amputee that is actually disabled by their limb differences - I’m all for futuristic worlds where prosthetics and other disability aids are far advanced from what they are now, but that’s not really what’s implied by these designs. They’re just… Cool designs that in no way reflect on the real-world experience of being an amputee.
Look at Hephaestus, though. Look at that prosthetic. Whilst stylised it very much looks like it functions like common mechanical knees - knee bends when thigh is lifted, knee straightens when thigh is lowered. He’s a wheelchair user as well as a prosthetic user - every prosthetic user I know is also a wheelchair user as a prosthetic is not usable in every occasion and also cause exhaustion and pain if used constantly.
Whilst we can’t see much of his wheelchair the position he’s sat in and the wheels very much evoke active wheelchair to me - this carries on to very specifically the thickness of his arms. Whilst a lot of Hades designs are muscular Hephaestus has very noticeably thick arms - which makes sense, as active wheelchairs require a lot of arm strength.
Just overall this design is making me want to cry - he’s not just an actual wheelchair user in a video game, he’s a realistic depiction of an amputee, a disability usually brushed over in order to give a character a fun design quirk and nothing else. He’s fat and he’s hot and he’s a realistic depiction of an above knee amputee. Oh my god. Oh my god?
executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.
& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”. it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it.
i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks.
Still really funny that Marvel named a movie “Endgame” and sold it as the final culmination of the MCU where they killed off two main characters and retired a third and then were shocked when people started loosing interest in the MCU after that
people always say autistic people think in black and white, but then they *teach* us in black and white. good girl, bad girl. good (normal) behavior, bad (abnormal) behavior. you have to be consistent with these kids
my therapist gave me a feelings chart and when I circled more than one told me to choose one feeling. in social skills group, they were always asking questions like, “is talking about airplanes expected or unexpected behavior?” and “it depends” was not the right answer- talking about airplanes is unexpected, inappropriate, abnormal, bad behavior (at least when you are one of Those Kids. when you like things too much you aren’t allowed to like things anymore)
here is your behavior chart, you either get a sticker or you don’t. here is your anger scale, you aren’t allowed to say you don’t know. we need an answer that fits into a graph because we are graphing your anger. here is a social story where everything is so simplified it resembles real life about as much as stick figures resemble people. here are your right and wrong answers and you play, move, think wrong
special educators are some of the most rigid people I’ve met. you have to follow the program. it has to fit on this chart. you have to be consistent with these kids
Sometimes ur fat bc u were born that way. Ur parents are fat, ur cousins are fat, u always have been fat.
And sometimes, you become fat. Something happened (puberty, change in diet, change in ability, anything) and someone who was once skinny is now fat. This doesnt make you a failure. It just means ur fat now. Its okay. You didnt do something wrong.
Friendly reminder to not punish yourself for creating.
Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?
I have a tendency to beat myself up whenever something I make doesn’t meet my expectations (which is always). The result is that finishing something = bad feelings: I am effectively punishing myself for having created something. The natural reaction to this punishment is an aversion to creation, meaning that my perfectionism is harming me, not only by causing me to despise what I do make and by impeding the creative process, but by attacking even my desire to create.
I don’t want to ask AI a question. I don’t want AI to write my sentences for me, at all ever. I don’t want AI search bars to be the default and I don’t want them to be in such a way that I can’t opt out. I don’t want this kind of AI in my life and there is no such thing as AI art, there is only theft of art from human artists by AI scrappers. I don’t want any of this, I hate it. Maybe in a world that isn’t driven by tech bro capitalism we can see machines doing all the dangerous inane things so humans can be free to pursue life and creativity. But that’s not what’s happening right now and I hate it.
In front of you is a tissue box, a wrench, and a slice of cheese. I believe what you have to do here is clear, so I won’t waste your precious time explaining it. Live or die, make your choice.
the thing is the king charles portrait is genuinely incredible and exactly how I would execute a portrait of a member of the british royal family but also I literally cannot fathom why the british royal family would have it made
like yeah if I were going to make a portrait of king charles I would absolutely have just his smugly smirking face leering out of a mass of red that could only be read as blood and gore, and have his military uniform fading ambiguously into the same background to lay bare the brutality of imperialism concealed by the pomp and ceremony of the british state, and make the entire thing sort of look like it was decaying to indicate the rot of the empire. like I really struggle to imagine a better visual metaphor for the nightmarish history of a dying empire than the king’s spiffy military uniform and saber and sash and rows of epaulets being literally made out of a rotting field of blood and gore. but like why did he have it commissioned… why did he have it MADE and then say Looks great I’m putting it on the wall… HE EVEN LOOKS LIKE HE’S IN HELL
