“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”
This 4channer got dunked on mercilessly by pretty much all the responses I saw but there’s just something so simple and perfect about only the second reply
I think one of the starkest illustrations of how incoherent Hasbro’s goals for Dungeons & Dragons are is that they made the writers take out all the direct references to dragon-fucking in 5E in a bid to render the IP more advertiser-friendly, but still insisted upon keeping a bunch of stuff whose narrative context strongly implies dragon-fucking front and centre in the brand identity, so now the Player’s Handbook has gotta play coy about where dragon-blooded sorcerers come from.
“Perhaps one of your ancestors [MADE A BARGAIN] with a dragon, or perhaps you’re the first of a new sorcerous bloodline as a result of a [BARGAIN] with a dragon”. Yeah, I bet it was quite the “bargain”.

I do love how quietly influential Homestuck has been on a generation of animators because it means sometimes I’m just watching a tv show and I have to pause and ask “hey. is that Dave Fucking Strider in the background?”

its not just dirk its the whole goddamn background
as a subtitler im incredibly biased as i say this but. shoutout to forms of fan labor other than fanart and fanfiction. fanart and fanfiction are awesome, don’t take this as a dig at those, but i have a big appreciation for fans who provide closed captioning/subtitles/translations of works out of love n passion; fans who recap and explain aspects of the original work; fucking SPEEDRUNNERS, holy shit, shoutout to speedrunners and challenge runners in video game communities. lots of things that fall outside the scope of what comes to mind when people think of fanart/fan labor are integral parts of a healthy fan ecosystem
i guess basically i just feel a whole lot of love for people who work to find out and share everything they can about the thing they love and make the thing they love more accessible. people who take the time to add captions/descriptive audio to an auditory/visual work, record an audio version of a written work, adapt a work into a different language, explain the historical cultural context in which a work exists, rip and publish the files of a work, and uncover and share details that are easy to miss. everyone who, in their way, is saying “i love this thing so much. i want to know everything about it, and i want everyone to be able to participate.”
I’ll gladly reblog posts reminding people to vote, but PSA: “this candidate sucks, but” is not a good, effective strategy. I will not be reblogging posts like those, and you guys should stop making them. It’s not just because, with Kamala Harris in particular, 1. a lot of reasons “progressives” online dislike her is misinformation, 2. most legitimate reasons people have for not liking Biden don’t apply or apply significantly less to her and y'all are just failing to look shit up. But it also just does not do anyone any favors to kneecap people’s enthusiasm right from the get-go. People shouldn’t have to be enthusiastic about the Democratic candidate to be motivated to stop a fascist, with a platform (Project 2025) that promises to fundamentally alter basically every aspect of American life for the worse. But the fact of the matter is that some people do care about that. You aren’t helping by dampening those people’s enthusiasm! Just say “you need to vote for Kamala Harris because xyz.” The “I hate her but” or “even if you hate her” is just selfish bullshit, that centers your feelings, your need to perform this (faux) progressivism for your dash over any political end you’re supposedly working for with that post. It makes it clear that the effects are not actually that important to you relative to your own image. It sucks. Stop it.
born to infodump forced to constantly worry if the other person actually cares or if im making sense or if i said something wrong or if im embarrassing myself or if they want me to stop talking or
op (and anyone else who relates to this post) i know exactly how you feel but !!! i promise you’ll find people who love your infodumping unconditionally !!! for example last week i went camping and i met someone (who ended up like. spending the night with me. and the whole next day. and stuff. uh. anyway) and they actively wanted me to infodump !!! they went with me into the woods (my favourite place) and asked me questions like “can you show me your list of your 100 favourite birds” and “why do you like this bird so much in particular” and “please tell me more about your pigeon friends”. every time i started slowing down or worrying that i was yapping too much they would encourage me to keep talking. and now they keep messaging me and telling me we need to meet up again because they miss talking to me and “listening to live binya podcasts”. so please don’t give up on the things you love just because some people don’t appreciate your words !! even if you’ve been told you’re annoying your whole life, there are people out there who want to listen because it’s you. you are interesting to them, and therefore anything you talk about is interesting. don’t silence yourself <3
i bet i’d be happier and healthier by now if i could’ve been a furry when i was 17 drawing cute little critters with my friends. but no… God or some other nefarious power decided i should be on 4chan
by the way. with how much worse things have gotten since 2016 if you’re currently on 4chan during your developmental years you have to get out. my god please i’m begging you get the fuck out right now you have to live and be a person
Please just. Cook vegetables. Appreciate vegetables as vegetables. Invent new vegetable recipes or update old ones. I promise you it’ll make everything vegetable and non-vegetable taste better than this constant march of “SURPRISE! This meat dish actually has no meat in it!” stunts will.
i hate that so much of modern western non-meat food that you see or hear about anymore is just trying to ape existing meat dishes instead of exploring the thousands of years of non-meat dishes we have in the west or looking to the wealth of such things from the east no instead of those beautiful things we have to be assaulted by phrases like vegan bacon
i saw someone make “vegan bacon” with banana peels marinated in liquid smoke. i was appalled.
attention americans: it is the middle of winter for me.
this was not a brag i just had an american confused how i was so cold in july and thought they should be reminded other countries exist again. they forget that a lot around here.
Feel like spent the last 20 odd years earning my PHD in Woman only to land a full-ride career in Boydude.
Like yeah I’m happier but what do I do with all these academic papers

Lay a warm wet towel over your eyebrows for a few minutes before plucking them. This can reduce swelling, redness, and discomfort.
Use an eyelash curler, THEN use a waterproof pencil liner on the waterline of your upper lid, THEN use mascara, focusing on the tips of your lashes. Ideally an hourglass-shaped mascara brush. It’ll give you the effect of big, thick, natural eyelashes.
A crinoline is a skirt filler designed to make your skirts look voluminous and bouncy. It can also give you the illusion of wider hips.
To put on pantyhose without tearing, bunch them up into a bagel shape, stick your toes in first, and then un-scrunch them upwards. If they snag, don’t cut or pull the thred- hold the material away from your skin and cover the perimeter of the hole, or just the base of the loose threat, with a thin dab of super glue. Release when dry, THEN cut thread.
To keep your bra from showing through a thin shirt, a tank top that matches your skin tone will be more effective than a white tank top.
Sort of an old one, probably out of fashion but I was taught to put on lipstick first, then dab it with a flat tissue top and bottom to minimize transfer and the over-painted look, and then- optionally- take a little dot of the same lipstick and rub over cheekbones until it’s just a faint tint for a natural-looking blush.
Another one about pantyhose, but if yours tear often, a garter and thigh-highs can be a practical alternative. You only have to swap out the side that’s torn instead of throwing ‘em all out- and my grandmother uses strips of her old ones to tie plants to stakes in her garden.
If you buy one of those drawstring net bags for produce, it’s cheaper than a regular lingerie bag and works about the same. Great for washing stocking by machine without getting tangles, too.
If you don’t wash your nice underclothes by hand, at least wash them cold and hang them to dry. But if the elastic is stretching out, a quick round in the hot air dryer can put them back in shape a bit.
Conservatively, you shouldn’t cross your legs at the knee if you’re wearing a skirt, because it allows the possibility someone may see up it when adjusting. I was taught to wear skirts that covered the knee while standing, and to cross legs at the ankle if at all.
If you’ve never worn heels before, check the quality of the heel. If they can’t stand upright on their own, they aren’t stable for walking. Go with wide, low heels first to practice, and walk heel-first. That means that the heel of your shoe touches the ground first, not the toe. Only toe-walk in your heels when climbing stairs, walking over a grate, or handling other surfaces that may snag the tip
if you’ve never engaged with a creative art on a regular basis you need to understand that it requires concerted effort to get into “the groove” to make something and every second that it takes to get into that groove causes physical pain, but the only thing worse than doing it is not doing it.
heh. *wipes blood off mouth* your panic attacks are strong. *gets back on feet* but are they strong enough to survive…. THIS?! *directs your attention to five things you can see*FIVE SENSES GROUNDING TECHNIQUE
I love the way the woman’s face goes from, “This is a little weird and probably a prank, but I’ll play along,” to “Wait, am I making music here?” to “Fuck yeah, I’m making music here!”
sorry if I don’t respond to message for the next 20 minutes I just ate a peach so ripe and juicy and soft and flavorful that I was in hog heaven and am now mourning the fact I inhaled it like a famished beast
nah y'all don’t understand that peach was so ripe every bite was overflowing with sweet juice that I was slurping up like a man stranded in a desert finding an oasis so it wouldn’t drip on me or my clothes. oh my god it was so potent with flavor I could not think anything other than about that peach, it was so firm in my hands but so soft as I bit into it too. I should have known how beautiful eating this peach was going to be when I was cutting it into fourths and the knife glided around the pit like it was nothing. oh my god it tasted so good like nectar from a goddess and I should probably stop carnally describing how good this peach was before someone asks what’s wrong with me
I don’t know man. The playplace should have been demolished, but I think it’s better to chew on gum until the flavor is gone than to get bored. Things fade, you know, like plastic in the sun. Half a tube of bright pink PVC turning pink, and white, and thin.
Do you remember the Nick hotel? How the baseboards were cracked? The water park? I never went myself. It’s the sort of thing that only exists in red-eyed digital photos that you printed at a Costco.
I wonder where laserdiscs ended up? Like physically, where did they all go? Iridescent sand, bismuth ozymandias. How come the speakers at the mall never worked? How come they always sounded so far away? At least the tile was clean.
Even back then, you knew you were late to something. So many rooms were too big. Not enough people showed up, I guess. I remember my dad telling me that one day TVs would become computers but it ended up the other way around. I never wore holes in my clothes, I had to buy new ones so often. He told me one day they would come in cans, you could paint a TV on the wall. Wouldn’t that be something.
I met a girl at the park once who was just like me. I had snuck my Nintendo DS out in the pocket of my hoodie. Hers was silver, mine was a shade of red you don’t see much anymore. We played Mario Kart under the slide where our parents couldn’t see. I never saw her again. I can’t think about her.
I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.
You all are so 100% certain you know how to identify radfem and T(W)ERF rhetoric and can’t possibly fall victim to it but guess what.
They are nowhere near above pulling this shit. And you all are falling for it.
And if you think that screenshot is an isolated incident, think again!
There are countless radfem and T(W)ERF blogs that I’ve blocked that said ‘secret radfem sideblog’ in the description.
Like, it’s great that we’ve made being a T(W)ERF so unaccepted on this site that they can only be open about the most toxic of their views in secret side blogs rather than on their main, but it’s time to accept that they’re taking advantage of that in a really fucking insidious way.
Just a tip on how to recognize these blogs. If you follow someone and you start getting suggested t*rf blogs that’s a good sign the person has sideblog for that stuff. There was some cowboy blog I followed a while ago and I used to get follow suggestions saying “this blog is similar to cowboy whatever” and it was a ton of t*rf shit and low and behold they ended up outing themselves
This is why we learn about what actual TERF ideology is. Saying “trans women are women” and “TERFS not allowed” and putting “TERF destroyer” or whatever in your bio is not enough. Learn how TERFs actually work, and what they believe, and where it stems from, and how they express diluted versions in order to warm up non-TERFs to their ideas.
Do the fucking work. Unfollow/block people who express TERF ideas even if they don’t label themselves as TERFs, challenge those ideas in your community, and you won’t have to worry about secret TERF blogs anymore.
Just in case you happen to be unaware, some of the “radfem lite” they post to warm you up to their rhetoric, just off the top of my head:
Ace/aro exclusionism
Bi exclusionism or claims that bi people are “less queer” bc of “straight passive privilege”
Saying you have to be dysphoric to identify as trans
Invalidating nonbinary people
Calling queer a slur regardless of context, saying people can’t identify as queer, and saying that it can’t be reclaimed
“Mogai hell”, “kweer”, or otherwise mocking less common labels and claiming they are “just cishets who want to feel special”
Excluding sex workers from feminist discussions or claiming that sex work is inherently evil
Basically anyone who thinks they can determine what other people identify as
The following are some red flags I’ve seen:
Men are evil
Women are pure
Black and white framing
Talking about separating the communities
Only this group can use these words
Lesbians are better than bi women
Straight women deserve/should not be surprised if they get abused
Panphobia
Think of the children
Anti kink
Cringe culture/who let these weirdos in/calling people freaks
soooo y2k fears just happened but 24 years and a half too late. a faulty software update by CrowdStrike, an american cybersecurity company, is causing global computer outages on windows computers. looks like aviation and 911 services are hit hardest. theres a workaround but it needs to be done on every individual pc
HEY AS YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD WATER UTILITY EMPLOYEE check your emergency water storage now if you’re in the US. Any impacts this has on drinking water treatment or distribution will be felt as we go further into today, so make sure you have a couple gallons of water stored up before the boil water notices hit.
Your friendly neighborhood cybersecurity engineer here…
To break down what’s going on, here’s a little backstory.
What is CrowdStrike?
CrowdStrike is what’s called endpoint protection software, similar to the antivirus software that you’re probably familiar with, but with more granular control and features aimed at enterprise (aka: large corporations and other businesses and organizations) environments. It’s used to manage servers, laptops, and desktops and works on Windows, MacOS, and Linux systems.
Important to note:You will not have this on your home computer, so you don’t have to worry about your personal laptop or desktop not working today.
However, Crowdstrike is currently considered the industry standard for this kind of endpoint security across MANY major companies and organizations. So this issue could potentially impact a WIDE variety of services. The big ones in the news right now are around airlines and banks, but it’s also impacting people in government spaces, small businesses, theme parks, utilities, etc.
What happened?
It appears that an update to some of the content files that CrowdStrike uses to perform its tasks was pushed out sometime last night. This update triggered problems on Windows systems only, with the result being a BSoD (Blue Screen of Death). This ONLY impacted Windows systems, not Linux or MacOS.
While Linux is more common on a server level, Windows still has a large server footprint worldwide. And when it comes to the workstation (desktop/laptop) level, Windows is by far the dominant presence in most organizations. And things like ticketing kiosks, point of sale machines, ATMs, etc are often running Windows, too. This is why the impact is so far reaching.
These updates were also not something that the companies using this software could control. A company running Crowdstrike does have a console where they can manage their instance and when code updates get sent to their systems, but these were not changes that could be managed at that level. In a typical setup, a company would manage a rollout of updates by first testing in their lower environments before pushing those updates to production servers.
However, the updates that caused this came directly from Crowdstrike, so companies running the software were blindsided. There was nothing they could do to prevent the issue.
What now?
They do have a workaround, which involves deleting the specific content files that are causing the problem, then rebooting. However this has to be done manually and must be done individually on every single impacted system. And since many IT teams are run EXTREMELY lean these days, it may take time for some places to get everything back up and running.
In the meantime, don’t panic. IT teams are working all over to sort this out. It may mean some delays, it may mean some cancellations or other inconveniences, but it’ll pass. Just keep calm and wait it out.
And while you’re waiting, I’ll take this moment to point out that things like this are why tech monopolies are a HUGE problem. When there are only one or two companies providing a major service like this worldwide, it doesn’t take much to grind the entire world to a halt.
You will not have this on your home computer, so you don’t have to worry about your personal laptop or desktop not working today.
Also, a lot of Linux & Mac users have been like “hah, couldn’t happen to me!”
Nah, it could. CloudStrike Falcon runs on Linux too. I know some people who use it on their company laptops for enterprise security.
It was just lucky (for Linux & Mac users) that CloudStike pushed out a broken update for Windows machines and not one for Linux/Mac.
They’ve pushed broken Linux updates before! It can happen!
This has nothing to do with the inherent security of any operating system, it’s just a third party product that fucked up and broke windows machines, but not Mac or Linux.
Listen dude, I knew we went on that magical adventure to nutritionland. We learned a lot from president cauliflower. But I’m gonna be real dude, I think nutritionland is an ethnostate.
I’ve spent my adult life watching the American right wing be all “I wish a motherfucker would,” swearing up and down they’re comfortable with violence and ready for their chance to cleanse the land with violence. Laughing at one of their demagogues getting a boo-boo on the earlobe is fine.
just saw a furry go “ugh pup masks are the worst thing to happen to the furry community” and it’s like what are you talking about those are your cousins, at the end of the day you’re both pretending to be gay dog men, i think it’s just an aesthetic choice at that point
