every numbering system is base 10. also every numbering system is a decimal system. ten=the number that is used as the base of a numbering system, not 5×2

Krishnan Guru Murthy, "Isn't it a bit insulting to say to an Indian doctor who is working 60-70 hours a week that in order to get settled status he's got to volunteer?" Rachel Reeves, "We want people to contribute if they come to our country" Labour have gone utterly bonkers

If I were a producer for the new Harry Potter TV series, with a duty of care towards the three child actors playing the leads, I’d find the way Rowling treats the leads of the last screen adaptation to be hair-raising, to put it lightly.

this is the worst possible solution to this dispute

for my birthday I am fundraising $40 so I can buy this fucking thing right now because I haven't been able to hear out of my left ear for 10 days now and I'm losing my FUCKING MIND venmo: @ianthe paypal/zelle: [email protected]

annoyed that dozenal is just clearly a better numbering system than decimal but it changing from decimal to dozenal would likely not be worth the inconvenience so we're stuck with the inferior numbering system

got told about the riyadh comedy festival and the participating acts section is so funny. all of the worst comedians are here!

unless you're a genocide scholar or working for the icc or icj i really don't get why you would be intent on proving that an atrocity isn't technically a genocide. like would it be any better if it weren't *technically* a genocide?

It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people. But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person. Denial makes things worse

on tumblr the majority of feminists are either terfs who treat misogyny as a serious issue but then blame it on the wrong people, or "trans-inclusive feminists" who treat any actual feminist analysis as either frivolous or terfy.

looking up any fandom tag on tumblr is the worst because they always fixate on one of the white guys

i'm preaching to the choir here but the rise in autism diagnoses is actually a good thing

whenever you ask whether something that's undeniably pretty expensive is worth it, redditors just like, ignore the pricing or pretend it's not expensive. like i'm looking up what people think about kagi and all the redditors are just pretending that $10/month for a search engine is no big deal.

Happy birthday Eslam. I wish that I could be saying this under better circumstances. If you can help Eslam and her family on her birthday, donate or share. ❤️

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Eslam. It’s Eslam’s 34th birthday today. She worked in a hair salon before this started. Her husband had immigrated and since the war she has lost contact with him and is on her own with her three children Islam, 8, Yahya, 5 and Mohammed, 4.

to the extent that a male loneliness epidemic exists, it is caused by two things:

thinking about how in the book of koli the inciting incident is a rickroll

i do think it's weird when people use the fact that there's a trans woman voicing a man in knights of guinevere as evidence that dana terrace is a transmisogynist because it's just denying kayleigh mckee's agency. he's voiced by a trans woman because a trans woman wanted to voice him.

i do hope that there will be a transfem character in knights of guinevere. with so many queer identities represented in the owl house the lack of transfems is notable. i don't think dana terrace intentionally excluded transfems but i hope we do get to see a transfem character in knights of guinevere

about the dana terrace discourse, it's not my place to say whether she should have answered that question the way she did but the people going "it's nice to see that masculine women can still be cis!" and I'm like huh? what reality do you live in where most masculine female characters are trans

Here's how you remove Google AI from your mobile devices.

"People making fun of the "male loneliness epidemic" is uncouth and disrespectful," I say as we proudly stand on a decade of people making the most cruel jokes about feminists because this woman made A Face for a split second while attempting to raise awareness on rape

man i am glad i don't have to travel 3 hours 20 minutes twice a week anymore because that was such a trek. technically i'm commuting twice as much in a week now than i was last semester but they're split up into smaller chunks

good. i don't like being called by gendered titles not even because it's gendered but because it's a degree of formality i'm uncomfortable with. i'm not ms rachel (surname) and just rachel (surname). calling me by my full name is formal enough.

seeing tumblr users defend a part with "women and afabs dni" because "what if they're traumatised!" as if that's a valid reason for being a misogynist. like go to therapy or something instead of refusing to interact with a marginalised group of people that makes up half of the population.

once again, another person using trans people as a gotcha because I said that cis men shouldn't reclaim bitch and someone went "oh so you think trans men are women??" like no obviously but I'm also aware that misogynists don't typically respect gender identity

looking up "disabled person" on google images will give you almost exclusively pictures of people in wheelchairs. even though most disabled people and even most mobility aid users don't use wheelchairs.

making a spreadsheet trying to mathematically calculate the most iconic films (i've already uploaded two lists but i realised there's more to do) and now i realised that imdb has a section where it lists all the connections it has to another film and i wish i knew about that when i started

tylenol does not cause autism but even if it did autism is not a bad thing and it's certainly not bad enough to justify discouraging pregnant people from taking the safest pain reliever for them

the intro to the new shaun video ... it really is killing me that "fascist pedophiles are the ones leading the charge against 'wokeness'" isn't even an exaggeration and is just what is happening. jesus

say someone call nonverbalism an "extreme" and "rare" form of autism in response to people fearmongering about autism and that's not true, about ¼ of autistic people are nonverbal, that's not rare. nonverbalism doesn't need to be rare in autistic people for it to be wrong to try to eradicate autism.

I swear to fuck if y’all don’t start saying BEING AUTISTIC IS OK instead of “this isn’t the cause so leave it alone and keep looking”

I really hate when people decide to replace th with þ and ð. what do you think you're accomplishing here other than making yourself harder to read

This is an amazing breakthrough! www.bbc.com/news/article...

i do find it frustrating how many people overstate the harms of self-diagnosis while refusing to mention the harms of formal diagnosis. even though oftentimes, formal diagnosis is *more* dangerous. but i guess that's inconvenient to mention when your goal is to gatekeep.

i've been thinking about the "let men be masculine" meme and it stopped me from posting a thread about how being afab and hating being a woman does not necessarily mean you're trans but then i stopped because i was afraid that i myself was veering into "let men be masculine" territory

"why do you get so hung up on stuff! can't you just move on instead of arguing all the time?" great question! i'm autistic.

is it weird that I'm disappointed to learn that I wasn't conceived on 9/11

class is cancelled tomorrow! and a late start on thursday! tis a good week for night owls

if it's bisexual visibility day, then why isn't anyone handing me a celebratory little snack right now?? i see biphobia has reared it's ugly head once again

is bob iger stupid

a lot of people have "let men be masculine" takes regarding religion. "being religious doesn't make you a bad person!" yeah this is the dominant opinion of society

in what universe is there a good amount of people who identify as autistic only because no one has ever told them they're just socially awkward or emotionally stunted. like what

A ver si el muerto les importaba un rábano y toda la sobreactuación en torno a él era para endiosar más aún al jefe y acelerar el fascismo en el país… a ver si…

why do shrek and the incredibles have the same poster

Let’s talk about the vast numbers potential voters would be more activated by genuine principled commitment to public goods and human rights as opposed to reactionary centrist pandering to bigotry!

if you're worried about online sexual exploitation, first of all, same! removing children's right to refuse PII to strangers is not the answer. but also ask yourself whether that problem is made better or worse by making it easier for anyone even slightly web savvy to find a child's name & location

Hi! We think you are a child. Can you give us personal identifying information :)?
