Trans lesbian. AuDHD. Wasian. Millennial. Massachusetts-raised. Probably watching a movie when I should be doing something else. Bigotry is a great way to get autoblocked. So is genAI/LLM usage

wife: we don't actually have to talk about every thought you have

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher"

"You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this?

Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times"

sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

Millipede and centipede, terrifyingly, imply the existence of larger units such as the pede and kilopede

my take on himedanshi is they're a perfectly legitimate transitory state that should be nurtured and educated on how they can experience yuri in real life, as one of the girls.

Upon reflection, every failed relationship I’ve ever had has one common factor: not one of them ever got me a Steyr HS .50 anti-materiel rifle

Yeah. And let me also be clear. I’ve never trusted Trump on this, or on the economy, or on keeping us safe in general.

You are trusting him on this, though, right?

No.

You aren’t?

I’m trusting the military and our generals. I’m trusting what I understand to be the operation and the people leading itβ€”that is, the generals and our military and our allies.

You’re trusting the people leading the operation who don’t include the President?

Well, I don’t trust that guy. Yeah.

He’s the Commander-in-Chief, right?

Sure. Yeah. But I can’t [trust him]. And he’s proven that over the past couple of days, being all over the place, unlike everybody else involved in this.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

it's okay to socially ostracize parents who won't vaccinate themselves or their children, in fact we should be doing it as a rule

If you, as a social scientist, believe that AI is now a better social scientist than you, then (a) you’re probably right, and (b) sure sounds like a skill issue, y’know?

These words are designed to slide off of our brains and be forgotten.

Say it plainly: No murdering children overseas. No locking up children in concentration camps here. No pedophiles in government or any positions of authority. No Republican freaks inspecting children's genitals.

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

Vanderbilt Will Stop Providing Gender-Affirming Surgeries to Trans Adults The hospital cited β€œoperational limitations” for the decision.

Horrifying and also as predicted. This is genocidal shit. The only hospital in Tennessee that offered this kind of care. www.them.us/story/vander...

Here's my stance on the NYT mess:

There is nothing to be gained by staying. Whatever prestige or integrity it had has long since rotted away. It is the single most damaging press institution towards trans lives in America. If you expect people to be sympathetic for working there, you're a fool

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: β€˜your leaders aren’t right for you,’ β€˜we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

one of my most strongly held beliefs

is that the term "slut" is both gender neutral and not necessarily a negative quality
