I know I'm old cuz I get pissed when kids call pop punk music emo. Jimmy Eat World's Clarity was emo. Dashboard Confessional was emo. Good Charlotte was not emo. Paramore was not emo. Blink 182 was certainly not emo. Open the libraries

It’s never a bad time for this meme, but International Men’s Day might be the best time

me: i don’t feel safe with other people. like, any praise in general my brain dismisses it Therapist Who is a Caveman: me see. you am deserve love. we all am. yes. need love survive me: i guess. it’s just hard trying to function when you still got your training wheels on Caveman Therapist: wheel?

part of what makes the work of an Artist compelling is that it necessarily Starts and Stops.

Like, y'all, every cis person I know who "educated themselves" fell down a rabbit hole of fear mongering and bigotry because, unfortunately, the TERFs and fascists love to educate people about us! My mom turned down my offer for help and "educated herself" into thinking I'm a delusional man

The thing about the home birth movement is the same thing about anti-psychiatry, which is that it is basically 100% correct right up until it runs into anti-science thinking and transforms into crunchy fascism, and unfortunately internet discourse is incapable of appreciating that nuance

Parents: Do you give even half a shit about your kids' well being and happiness? Then you know damn well the dictates of the state shouldn't mean shit to you and you will go through hell and high water for their safety, the vile quibbles of politicians be damned.

I would argue that midwifery is actually the oldest profession. A number of other mammals have similar practices of checking in on herd members labouring. We have the capacity to help each other and we have always done this. THAT is natural. To help is to be human.

“THE NON-ARTIST FIXATION ON HYPERREALISM AS THE PINNACLE OF ART IS CLEARLY PART OF THE REASON SO MANY ADULTS THINK THEY CANNOT DRAW OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES TO BE FAILURES, KAWAII, FOLK ART, DOODLES, OR OTHER EASIER ENTRY POINTS ARE CONSIDERED CHILDISH, WHICH IS WHY JAPANESE DRAWING BOOKS ARE BETTER…”

I am sincerely baffled how allistics understand each other when they play so fast and loose with language. No, this is not an invitation to explain it to me. It is however an invite to learn specificity

Basically what Mom & Dad said 👇🏾

@sbworkersunited.org have launched the biggest open-ended strike in Starbucks history, fighting for fair wages and against unfair labor practices. We all need to stand in solidarity with striking workers. DON'T BUY STARBUCKS FOR THE DURATION OF THE STRIKE. #NoContractNoCoffee

this is about what i expected :3 (link in replies)

"We conducted a quasi-experimental field study on the Milan metro...a female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train...an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present."

hey even if you don't use blender you should help support it it's such an unbelievably important tool that gives access to 3D art to so many people that wouldn't otherwise have it i dunno if it's actually struggling yet, but it could get there and we cannot lose this one lmao

The digital creativity industrial complex is very real and run by a cartel of tech priests

i know i'm not the first to say this, but the ubiquity of proprietary & for-profit software is an ethical failing

i know im preaching to the choir here but yall know the violence done to trans women specifically is demonstrative, theyre making an example out of us to keep everyone in line, right ? theyre saying "this is what will happen to you if you break our gender rules"

stop trying to naturalize what is a distinctly human problem: that your cis identity makes you freak out about the outgroup of the hated tranny even as i heroically recategorize myself as a human being who most closely has the experience of women

When I was watching XPlay, this Mountain Dew ad came on where this guy forcefemmes transgenderizes his homie.

If being on the spicy side of Bluesky has taught me anything, it’s that you do not need to be skinny, you do not need a boob job, or any other cosmetic enhancements. There are at least 1000 people that will find you attractive just the way you are. You are lovely, embrace it. 🩷

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

This concept is often hard for devs to grasp too, not just players. I put it as "the joy of doing" vs. "the joy of being". Why does some grind or hard challenge feel joyful in game A, but a chore in game B? You enjoy *existing* in game A. The "thing to do" serves that joy. Pet the dog. Enjoy being

"Mathematically, it might seem like I spend a disproportionate amount of my time making the world a significantly less safe and less empathetic place, but are you counting all the hours I spend sleeping?"

this is a kind of writing i like to refer to as "waxing pretentious," where half-baked wordplay & metaphor are shoved wherever they'll fit in an attempt to seem profound it's the stylistic version of using big words to sound smart/well-read; it conveys nothing of value & makes you look INSUFFERABLE

Bill Clinton should take one for the team and say it's real, especially if it isn't

good, rational people don't defend child abusers & their actions rational people understand why knee-jerk, obviously-not-actionable "threats" are a fairly *mild* reaction to someone ADVOCATING FOR STATUTORY RAPE OF TEENAGERS maybe defending the rapists here isn't the right hill to die on, Aaron
