if you want me to fucking play political games where i lie strategically about what i care about in order to get other people to make the cascading moral compromises that come with putting all your hope in electoralism you better have fucking think tank money

someone threw a little tantrum about this in my mentions earlier and im still kind of annoyed at how entitled people are to demand i stop sincerely expressing my feelings about a political party that is explicitly collaborating with fascists because i will suppress voter turnout by not shutting up

This was a human being. What the fuck is wrong with you?

he realized he is also in the epstein files

I love to plug two computers directly into each other. yuri is when I download the windows app for my Mac so I can control the other computer over Ethernet

Need to have an option for real life that's like "men don't perceive friendliness as romantic/sexual interest"

Geena Davis heads or is a significant part of an advocacy group that studies women in media and they came at almost the exact same number for women: 19%. When women comprise 19% of people in a room, show, movie, whatever they're seen as an "equal" amount, when they are 50% they are "majority".

There's really interesting social science on how white people significantly overestimate the number of people of color in a room or in a picture. A room with, like, 20% POC will be perceived as majority POC.

its because they see their daughters as property and their sons as heirs. come on

Possibly my least favorite genre of internet video is "girl posts picture/video of like, a shoe or something that has a stylized weapon (obviously not meant for actual use) on it" and then the comments are full of weird dudes talking about how that wouldn't stop them from SAing her

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed

I think it's really fascinating how most people seem to always view artists in a perpetual dual light where they're both proletarians and somethings "more", almost sacred at the same time.

I know where I’ll be: in your house stealing the ram out of your computer

we already have transgender for everyone. it’s called bluesky

Marco Rubio just straight up looks like a sad divorced man at a Motel 6.

They developed the "high school girl's sports" angle as a wedge issue, to lever their way up to full society-wide discrimination. What's endlessly stunning to me is how many purported liberals a) helped them when it started & b) are still helping them even after the larger purpose has become clear!

And my second caveat in response to a lot of responses—this isn’t an argument that men being lonely isn’t happening. This is an argument that loneliness is not exclusive to men and that the reigning discourse around MALE loneliness is really about unmet expectations for women

I feel like we have become numb and complacent to how self annihilating capitalism is, the greatest horrors are still to come if the world stays on this course yet it is often overlooked.

Everyone is aware the word sucks but trying to educate people to do something is more than just telling it is bad. Like Linux evangelists need to actually address why Linux is harder to use. And not just pretend like it is easy.

non-religious but i keep using the :prayer: emoji at my friends whenever i want to express positivity or agreement with whatever they just said

Everyday

as of this week it has officially been 18 years since an anonymous user uploaded this bizarre image of an opossum cornered in a baby grand piano to Wikimedia Commons

The whole idea of “Girlfriend plays x game!” is so unbelievably absurd in the worst kind of way. As if “girlfriends” aren’t the type of people to play or like video games or could possibly be a gamer due to their relationship title/identity. I wish people would just do better.

understandable. i'm happy that i have learned much from the kindness of linuxgirls and linuxtheys

e&m textbook authors are always like "oh it's obvious", "it's clear that", "anyone with a brain should be able to see"... and it's for the least obvious things ever

Trying to be good today and drink fluids that aren’t coffee. There’s this drink I’ve heard about called “Water” that’s supposedly pretty good for you. I’ll try to find some and report back.

I notice the enshittification of Overleaf is continuing relentlessly?

I love taking 8 hours to do half an e&m problem

My spicy socialization take is that we mostly use the phrase "female socialization" to refer to raising someone to be a people-pleaser so they don't get hit, and as people constantly at risk of getting hit, trans femmes receive it as much as anyone else

they should pay girls to be dogs i think

grad school… wait who said that
