how does the saying go. give someone a main character and they will be fed for a long time. give someone a minor side character and they will be forced to learn how to cook

Protesters were restrained by Box Elder County Sheriff’s deputies Monday as they voiced their anger over the 40,000 acre data center campus approved unanimously by the commission, without any input from the people in the room. (Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune)

I am once again tapping the "it is a genuine qualitative break from 99.9% of human history that society can now produce massive food surpluses with the labor only a tiny percent of the population and nobody has any idea how to grasp this" sign.

Honestly the entire field of gynecological practice is a great candidate for things that should be scrapped and reimagined from first principles.

At the very least, you should be validating and reflecting back that doing this stuff without pain management is FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS and not okay, because sometimes people who are in Get Through It Mode need to hear that they’re not being weak or crazy.

But I don’t think men who care about women in their lives should get to keep shrugging this off and being squeamish about women’s reproductive systems. We often don’t have the resources to be as angry as we should because we have to actually get healthcare, somehow, and deal with the way things are.

It can get better. Like there’s actually no reason it has to be this bad. Here’s a recent speculum redesign that women were actually involved in.

Perhaps you are having an IUD inserted, a common form of birth control, especially for those who get nasty side effects from hormonal birth control. Here’s how they hold your cervix in place for the insertion. This is also often done without pain management.

Here it is with an orange, lest you think this was some sort of microscopic operation.

Then they stick a bristly brush up into a sensitive part of your anatomy and scrape it around. They tell you this does not hurt. It does. There’s a good chance they were taught you don’t have nerves there. You do.

Hey so if you’re a man with an XX partner or child that you care about, I need you to read this thread because shit is not going to change unless cis men start not being okay with this stuff.

sorry to bring this back but

Im 3 followers away from 666 lets fucking goooooo

I am not worried about the 2030 midterms because 1) we have to get there first and 2) if we get there under this system of “representation” then the government that succeeded the Trump regime has completely failed the assignment and American democracy will be dead for the foreseeable future

Laura Rolla has arrived at the Met Gala!

Many are saying “pack the court” but a simpler solution is to take advantage of the state of exception that whatever comes after the regime will inherit and ex post facto declare the Federalist Society a domestic terror organization

I’ll be damned. The Pulitzer board did it. Good on them

the moment you have to start wearing glasses is also the moment a glasses guy character archetype gets bound to your soul

Whenever stop wars shows up, someone has to post one of the best yakuza shitposts ever

The pedant in me wants to show the kind of graphics the PS1 had, the jokester in me wants to say "Folks acting as if the PS1 couldn't produce mind-boggling effects."

the way i don’t have these files but do have these tabloid sized printouts… theyre kind of cute still

If the AEUG were anything like the Marines todos los chicos hablan español fucking, bueno que sí

You wish you were eating the Argama food

The issue is that for every 1000 rounds of 6.8 you could bring ~1800 rounds of 5.56! And infantry were already bringing more ammunition than allotted, which I'm going to point out in a reblog of the first post, since it makes the math worse

Honestly that a significant minority, if not a majority, of adults have decided to regress to being 12 and even needing to be told to flush the fucking toilet by an authority figure they love to hate is up there in the running for The Grand Unifying Problem With America Today

If you even care

i think this is a symptom of the overall problem of science fiction (and perhaps fantasy, which I'm not as well versed in) which is scale

new york times pulitzer finalists for their podcast series about trans youth where they don't really talk to any actual trans people. good shit....great shit!

every trans person has been effectively drummed out of the mainstream media but you can be a pulitzer finalist if you look around the situation that your fucking newspaper helped create and go “wow so this is pretty interesting huh”

Can switch hands and gain a stroke in a foxhole JO situation no matter who is around or time of day: Char, Apolly, Roberto, Saegusa Needs to JO in the privacy of the ship shower stall and will stop if interrupted: Kamille, Torres, Keithron Doesn't know what it is; balls haven't dropped yet: you know

stars wars day, is it

A survivor of the Kent State Massacre rings the bell on campus today, May 4, at exactly 12:20, the moment his classmates fell, 56 years ago.

happy star wars day to this tweet in particular

29 min 5K again, first run after spraining my Other ankle so I didn't push it. About 5 minutes walking, kept an easy pace up until the end, and it may have been the last run for these shoes because the foam was crumbling off and I now have a couple blisters 💀

I'm sorry but none of these guys knows how to hold a cigarette, what the fuck are you doing.

Our comrades at University of Chicago Press are also unionizing! Show them your support!!

being annoying is not actually a crime. im aware we've spent the past 25 years convincing ourselves otherwise, but being annoying is not in fact the same thing as being rendered homo sacer.

Just create new voters says a guy who can't convince his siblings. Its obviously easy says a man who failed that exact test every single time.

there are a lot of people who get a vicious little thrill out of arguing “well this may be morally wrong but it’s what the law says” and let’s be very clear: this makes them bad people

people on the internet who tell other people on the internet to “log off” or “touch grass” are usually engaging in a form of unconscious projection

a man goes to the doctor, says he's depressed because he's closing and there are too many dishes. "that's easy," says the doctor, "just leave them for the opener." "but doctor," says the man, bursting into tears, "I am the opener!"

i did not endure years of the unfunniest people parroting charlie the unicorn for people to now be saying this
