hey in case you didn’t know trans inclusive terminology in healthcare is not about protecting peoples feelings, it’s to stop insurance companies from going “well it says here that hysterectomies are a procedure performed on WOMEN and you keep insisting that you’re a MAN so we do not in fact have to cover that have a nice day and eat shit”
to add for cis ppl: anything that is designed to hurt trans people will trickle down and hurt any cis person dealing with anything in your body with gender. want a breast reduction for back aches? well that’s a little trans isn’t it? have a family history of breast cancer and want those time bombs gone? have no kids or don’t want anymore? tubes tying or vasectomy? broke your nose and have trouble breathing? need hormone replacement therapy? “idk” says the insurance company and gov, “might be a little trans.”
caring about others is a way to care about yourself as anything used against the other will knock on your door eventually.
it must suck to do an assassination and have everyone cheering you on and hyping you up cuz you can’t tell anyone you did it. you have to keep that information to yourself.
I like stories where a normal human child is being raised by a sinister supernatural being who is totally malevolent except when it comes to their kid. Those are so much better than the “kids are scary” changeling type horror movies.
Like a perfectly well-adjusted well-mannered friendly child that is like “This is my dad, Surazal. He comes out of the mirrors in dark rooms. He makes really good blood pudding but he’s bad at playing catch. Most people can’t see his corporal form but I can because he says I have special eyes.”
“Mom says that you can stay over but you have to promise not to leave my room between midnight and 1 am. You can play Mario Cart with me! But you have to knock on every closed door in the house before entering just because dad might be in there and if you look upon his visage without drinking the holy fruit juice, you might go crazy or something. Also dad is really excited I have a new friend and he’s going to to make hardtack and mystery stew for us! You’ll love it!”
In high school the kid gets a friend that is an amateur demonologist who initially befriends them in hopes of exorcizing their house but ends up becoming buddies with Surazal too because they crave parental affection.
Surazal stands at the end of the vast dark hallway and says “You Too Have Special Eyes, Little One. You Can See Me Without Being Taken By The Madness. Within You, I Sense Great Turmoil And Sadness. In My Younger Years, I Would Have Exploited The Sadness As Weakness In Your Very Soul. I Would Have Worn Your Skin Like A Mask And Run Through The Village Streets, Supping Blood From Every Man I Encountered. But Now I Have No Use For Woe. Perhaps You Would Like To Watch Beetlejuice In The Family Room With My Daughter While I Prepare Cupcakes. I Am Sensing You Have A Fondness for Red Velvet.”

Prosecutors argued that Mangione was carrying about $10,000 in cash and that his bag was a Faraday bag that blocks cellphone signals—all proof that he was a sophisticated criminal who should be held without bail.
“‘I’d like to correct two things,’” Mangione said after the prosecutor finished speaking, according to CNN’s Danny Freeman, “‘I don’t know where any of that money came from—I’m not sure if it was planted. And also, that bag was waterproof, so I don’t know about criminal sophistication.’”
the thing about Professor Utonium is he didn’t accidentally create 3 daughters, he purposely created 3 daughters who accidentally have superpowers. the sugar, spice, and everything nice was intentional, only Chemical X was an accident
this guy became a girl dad on purpose and I am so proud of him for achieving his dream!
okay so he was aiming for one “perfect little girl” and got three instead. so what that’s how all triplets happen, that’s just parenthood
Cops: he was quiet, kept to himself, no one would’ve suspected him
16 year old girl who lived 4 doors down the road: he was creepy as shit, my dog hated him, my little brother cried when he walked past the house and when I was 14 he sniffed me as I walked past him, we all knew he was a freak but we had no set proof so the cops didn’t do shit

I really try not to be a conspiracy theorist but I’m seriously flip flopping on whether or not I believe Luigi Mangione actually did it, on one hand this guy’s digital footprint is too vast to not be a real person with real motive, but on the other hand the circumstances of how they caught him are so odd that it just doesn’t add up, like, he wore very nondescript clothing and a mask the day of the shooting, suggesting he doesn’t want to be identified, despite this they were somehow able to identify him at a hostel in different clothing without a mask, he not only fled the scene but allegedly fled New York with a fake ID that the police recovered, several days later they found him in Pennsylvania carrying around all of the evidence in his backpack, including a manifesto, gun, and fake ID, the police also claim he had somewhere between $8,000-$12,000 in his bag, yet when asked about it Luigi claims he had no idea where the money came from and suggests it was planted (which raises several more alarm bells because if this “evidence” was planted then what else could they have fabricated to “catch” this guy?)
this not mentioning the fact that I find it really odd that this guy didn’t digitally publish his manifesto and instead chose to carry a physical copy of it around for days
this all could mean that he wanted to get caught but if that’s the case why go to Pennsylvania at all? why not just stay in New York?
I will say, though, that I think some of this can also be explained by this comment on Reddit:

regardless, the circumstances are suspicious as hell
edit: I realized I forgot to mention this part but it’s also so suspicious how everyone, the police, the media, whatever, are all 100% certain that Luigi Mangione did it, I’ve seen so many high profile cases where cops do press conferences and say “this is America, the suspect is innocent until proven guilty!” yet they’re not even calling Luigi a suspect, they’re outright saying he is the shooter and that he did do it, that’s just weird to me
just heard someone speak the sentence “my parents are twins” and my brain died four times before additional context allowed me to figure out he meant EACH of his parents HAS a twin. separately.
Your children’s show unfortunately has the absolute wrong take on tackling fascism. Yeah the power of friendship angle is showing a dismal lack of understanding of Marxist theory or even intro-level Leninism. Yeah my only two interests are children’s media and online leftist discourse so this is gonna be a problem.
His name was Charles Hatfield and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t make a deal with him, but I am saying that you should be very clear about the terms and conditions
I think we need to fully appreciate the fact that the reason he “looks like the Devil” is that many depictions of the Devil in American popular media are specifically caricatures of this guy. Like, imagine being a con man and fucking up your hustle so badly that for more than a century afterwards people start drawing the Devil to look like you.
Now that I’m working in the anthropology department and we’re teaching human evolution, I wonder how many anthropologists looking for ancient hominids must have found modern human remains instead. You didn’t find a fossil of human evolution… but you did find the remains of a person. Isn’t that meaningful, too? And also… they are so similar to us, that it’s not unlikely that so many remains that could have been key to understanding human evolution have been misidentified as just humans (which raises the question “weren’t they just human” but I digress)
There’s an interesting story about Sahelanthropus (a hominid similar to chimpanzees who walked upright about 6 millions ago in modern Chad). When it was discovered, the remains presented wear and tear from wind and sun exposure, which was wierd because they were found buried. It was then the anthropologist noticed it was buried with its head facing towards Mecca, like in proper Muslim burial practice. Muslim nomads must have found the remains of Sahelanthropus, they would have thought it was a human, and decided to give it a proper burial, even if they didn’t know its story or who was it life, they thought those bones deserved to rest.
I have had a lucid dream exactly one (1) time and I think I fucked it up.
I dreamed I was driving past my old college and I went “Wait this is a dream! I can do whatever I want!” and I immediately swerved into oncoming traffic and right before I hit a truck I thought “Boy I hope this is a dream or this is going to really hurt”
ive forgotten the origin of “she blank on my blank til i blank” and i dont even begin to know how to look it up
bless know your meme
i will ALWAYS go up to bat for the academic necessity of KYM. memes have become such an important cultural language in the past decade and losing the origins of these neo-idioms would be such a tremendous and needless loss.
i feel like one of the weirdest realizations you (or at least i) eventually have a few years into transitioning and being mostly around other trans people, is that moment where u notice that like ur brains mapping of like specific voices to specific genders is just kinda gone. like it rly is just all social constructs programmed into u by society, and living outside societies idea of gender just kinda melts that shit away, and it’s not just voices, like other traditionally gendered attributes also suddenly don’t matter anymore*
*except for myself of course, i am obviously totally failing at being a girl but everyone is doing it perfectly, dysphoria is so awesome lmao
the real deep message here btw isn’t just about gender, but about the general ability of the human brain to shed off bad socialization and habits if we change the environment we’re in for the better and i feel like that’s massive
WTF do you mean jailbreaking my “smart” TV to install Linux in order to run adblock on my TV would be “Felony Contempt of Buisiness Model” That sounds like a crime made up by The Board in Outer Worlds.
One of my favourite ludicrous discourses on here, now way past its heyday: “Gay men and lesbian women have monosexual privilege” vs. “Bi people have straight-passing privilege”. People tore each other to shreds over this.
If you read carefully what each side was screaming, they were actually both saying the same: “I am literally oppressed for my sexuality, stop calling my sexuality a privilege.” Which is fair! But people were (still are tbh) so enraptured by privilege theory that the only way they could express this totally fair demand was by not granting the same grace they were expecting for themselves to their opponents. Recognising that privilege as a framework was insufficient or sometimes even counterproductive was entirely out of the question.
I wonder how many people learned this was a thing they could do by seeing the sign
Well I for one just learned that. Thanks for the tip!
When I was landscaping I referred to this as “pirating a plant” since the original is still there but now I have a clone growing in my house and if that clone is successful I can prop it out to other people, like “seeding” but you know, no seeds just clones.
This is your sign to start pirating plants
Official let´s let people know about this sign
Remember, theft from corporations is based
REMEMBER, AS SOMEONE TRAINED HOW TO CORRECTLY REPORT ON THEFT, NO COURT IN THE LAND WILL CHARGE YOU FOR PICKING LEAVES UP OFF THE GROUND
And ON TOP OF THAT, fallen succulent leaves are a slip and fall hazard that can cost a corporation tens of thousands of dollars
piracy but even better because it’s planting trees and unchargable
I have seen this post probably at least 20 times courtesy of @lukadjo, each time passing over it thoughtlessly and only now do I process the bizarreness of it
