Kids are interesting. I’m babysitting a 9 year old boy right now who’s homework is to write a fictional story and he wrote about how in millions of years the sun will expand killing everything and one man fell asleep at the beach and missed all the official announcements about the world ending but he managed to be the only survivor of the solar flares because he applied SPF 100 sunscreen.

A trans man coming out as a man is never a loss.

I don’t care if he went into a male-dominated field. All fields are cis dominated.

I don’t care if he’s a straight man now. He should be allowed to be himself and happy. He does not owe it to you to be a miserable lesbian for your comfort.

I don’t care if you thought he was hotter before. His happiness is worth the price of your desire. Also you’re wrong and I’m giving him my number.

More trans men is a good thing. More trans men means more closeted trans men are feeling safe to come out. That’s a good thing.

Imagine being a former FBI Special Agent making a video about how you INTENTIONALLY skirted Miranda rights to interrogate suspects in ways that violated their civil rights and NOT STOPPING AT ANY POINT TO QUESTION IF YOU JUST FUCKED THE DOG ON LITERALLY ANY GODDAMN CASE YOU EVER FUCKING WORKED ON BY LOUDLY DECLARING YOU KNOWINGLY VIOLATED PEOPLE’S RIGHTS.

There’s a federal prosecutor hitting this guys in the balls with a bat right now, and I’m not saying I trust that guy either, but I respect the going over he’s doing.

I don’t care if you’re innocent as a newborn lamb: Invoke your right to counsel. I say this as the child of a retired police officer whom I truly believe did his best to NOT violate people’s rights. Invoke your right to counsel. Invoke your right to remain silent. If the authorities ASSUME your guilt because you invoke your right? That’s on them. Not on you.

YOUR SCRIPT IS:

My Name Is _________!

I am going to remain silent and I would like to speak to a lawyer!

every girl wants to get in a vehicle and flip 3-6 switches overhead in the process of turning it on

When I’m going to get frozen waffles and ramen from Walgreens.

More things should be operated with big thumb switches and knobs and dials and shit.

So, true story. Many, many years ago, I got fired from my first job, at a thrift store. I had just turned 21, and I just started rapid-fire applying to everything I could.

And one of those job applications was for a school bus company. I wound up getting it, it paid 12 bucks an hour, that was a lot at the time. And what’s more, i was pretty good at it.

Most of the buses were the usual American nose-out-front type, but we had 2 of the flat-nose, rear-engine types. I was always drawn to anything mechanical that was weird, unusual, or old. These were all three.

In addition to being an absolute dream to drive, they had an overhead panel! It had, if memory serves, marker lights, a strobe light (in illinois, school buses have strobes sometimes for use in fog), cabin lights, and a couple of fans.

And i used to just flip that shit. Just to do it. And then one day I’m driving the middle schoolers home and one of them spots me doing it, and he asks “Are you just doing that because it’s fun?” I’m 21 and this kid has me dead to fucking rights. But i’m also the cool bus driver. And so I just go “Yeah” in like, the cheesiest cool-adult voice i can manage. And this 11 year old tells me “I can’t blame you.”

I think about that a lot.

I think about this tweet all the time this is what gave bisexuals rights

Much like asexuality, they know damn well if they like something without trying it.

Also, them dating anyone puts that person on a stage they might not want to be on, let alone when people can’t be normal about said person’s gender matching the celebrities. They may well have kept it quiet, like Dolly Parton’s anonymous husband

what's it mean to knot?

*white knuckling the bathroom sink* do NOT infodump ppl about the fact that the first spn fic was a wincest one and that it was posted mere hours after the pilot and that the founder of ao3 was a wincestie and that the first fic on ao3 was wincest too and that the omegaverse as we know it was created by wincest shippers for jared/jensen fics *pointing at myself in the mirror with a shaky hand* ppl will think you’re weird and off-putting you need to control yourself–

it’s fundamental fandom history 😤 and honestly the amount of people who think wincest is an aberration in spn fandom and those that think ao3 shouldn’t allow “problematic” content and be fully censored should know these things so they can be aware of where these cultural juggernauts started.

not them asking naomi novik AKA ASTOLAT if she was okay with incest fics of her characters when she was the one in the trenches writing wincest fics and founding ao3 so people could have a place to post their works without censorship. that’s absolutely hilarious I have to find that post

YES my brother in christ she WROTE THE PROPOSAL !


May. 17th, 2007

An Archive of One’s Own

AO3 was created out of collective effort, and she was the one who started it all. It’s incredible to see how many of her ideas in this proposal ended up actually happening. So many things we now take for granted were crazy dreams at first

The deep history and why I shake my head at people who were toddlers when ao3 was conceived think that they’ll get anywhere with arguments about fandom purity.

Like, there’s a ton of shit on ao3 that I don’t bother with because it is very much not my thing but I am deeply grateful that ao3 exists as it does because the things I do like, even the super fluffy g rated fics, would be considered just as “bad” by various religions and governments. And if I want to be able to read sweet gay coffeeshop found family or wish fulfillment time travel fixit featuring complex qpp and gay ships, the best guarantee of being able to do so is a place where everything goes. Because my “non-problematic” innocent fluff is absolute perversion according to some people. I know because they yelled at me before I turned off anon comments. And even the country I live in used to require unhappy endings for queer characters if it allowed them at all in many forms of media.

I absolutely avoid the kind of fic that ao3 was founded on and I am still deeply grateful that it exists.

There is a Muslim revert on TikTok who is getting exposed for lying about their ethnic identity while also using their religious identity to speak over Palestinians who disagreed with them and I am honestly so sick and tired of seeing people get away with talking over Palestinians just because they happen to be Muslim.

There is a false notion that just because someone is Muslim they have some inherent knowledge about Palestine and are somehow adjacent to us even though Palestinians don’t all share the same faith.

*It is erasure*. It’s how we get to places where grifters like Shaun King and Khaled Beydoun are making money off of Palestinian suffering for their Eid events or taking credit for the decades of work Palestinians have done. It’s how we get to replacing “Palestinians” with “Muslims” in media, how Muslim Zionists use their religion to support the genocide of Palestinians, or how Palestinians of other faiths get pushed to the side within their own movement.

I still remember back in 2021 seeing people who were Muslim using Palestinians being beaten and lynched in the streets to share their own Paypals and GFMs because it was “so painful for them to watch”. Literally posts saying “If you’re Muslim drop your payment info so we can support you better” in the face of Palestinian mass murder.

It’s obvious that islamophobia plays a role in the demonization and killing of Palestinians but being Muslim doesn’t make you entitled to a position over Palestinian voices and experiences, and it’s completely ignorant to act like the root of this genocide is religion and not colonialism and imperialism. “as a Muslim-” doesn’t matter when its Palestinians being murdered and bombed to death for being Palestinian.

The discussion around “is intersex queer” is so grossly biased. “But some intersex people don’t identify as queer for being intersex. So we shouldn’t force them into queerness”.

If an individual trans person says “hey I don’t identify as queer”, you all go “oh OK, you do you.” And you don’t go around asking “should we be including trans people in queerness?” “Some trans people don’t want to be included” “is it offensive to include trans people?”

I dont have tumblr sorry

catboy–slim:

offf, this story about how Google made google search into a pile of seagull shit hits me hard:

https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Around the time of this story, I was living through a similar situation in my work life (on a much smaller scope, of course, WordPress.com first, Tumblr later).

Back in 2019, working on WordPress, I started finding myself, almost weekly, arguing against people who wanted to take the product we were working at and made it worse if that mean they could squeeze 0.1% more revenue from it

The 0.1% figure is not even a random number: I remember this speciffic A/B test on WordPress.com that was declared a success and shipped to 100% of the users because it increased the free-to-paid conversion by 0.1%. Soon after it was released, I found out that as a side effect, it increased the churn of free users by 20 something %,so I called for an urgent rollback and removal of the change. So I was promptly explained that we didn't care about free-users churn, because finance had calculated the average long-term value of theALT
free users to be something like $2 per year, and the increase in conversion was bigger than what we could get from them.

Everything became about growth hacking. Everything became thinly-veiled dark patterns. In our private dev slack channels, we joked that since it was impossible to make it smaller or less conspicuous, the next thing the growth team was going to ask us to do was to make the 'free plan' button flee away from the mouse pointer when the user tried to click it. We kept making our product worse, we kept consciously crippling the cheaper versions so we could force people to move to the more expensive options.

Back then I was the lead of one of the two dev divisions working on WordPress.com, so my job was mainly to discuss what we were going to be doing, when and how. And I was getting drained by a constant state of fight against a constant wave of shit they wanted us to build. So much than by the end of 2020, the CEO quietly told me to follow the growth team plans and shut up or step down.

So I requested to move to tumblr, because I thought the pastures were greener over there. But it was all the same: Adding login walls to what we were pretending to be "the last bastion of the free internet", cramping in embarrasingly obvious money-making schemes disguised as features, and making them silently opt-outALT
instead of opt-in so the less people the possible would deactivate them, having to fend off the pressure from the CEO to make everything algorithmic timelines because, you know, tiktok makes a lot of money and why aren't we, etc etc.

I found myself in a place where building something good that people enjoy using was no longer a priority, but tricking people into generating more money for the company was. And when I looked around me, I could see that happening everywhere else, not only in my company. Experiencing the start of the enshittification years from inside wasn't easy.

And, as in the article, the people who decided to turn the shit-metter up to 200%, have a name, in every case. And these people, no matter if they are called Sundar and Prabhakar or Matt and Mark, are destroying the internet. These people are milllionaires, or billionaries, and are destroying our shared, common spaces to squeeze some extra cash from us.

That's why the fediverse and its principles are important. Because that's how we take back internet from their dirty hands. That's how we make internet resilient against them. That's how we build the commons.ALT

In Japanese, they don’t say “moon,” they say “tsuki,” which literally translates to “moon,” and I think that’s how language works.

Due to a misspelling on my part while writing down a wish I wanted the djinni to grant me, I have been transported back in time and turned into a servant of the king of England, Denmark, and Norway

That’s right, I am serving Cnut

I mean this so kindly, but I have this primordial urge to shove you into a locker.
