I'm really starting to come down on the side of not trusting people who use fantasy slurs for AI, not because I think AI deserves respect or can be hurt by it, but because the last four people I've seen who kept going "clanker moment!" at AI slop turned out to loooove using the R word as well

mtf/ftm solidarity

I've noticed this. A lot.

I dropped by the world's largest department store (Shinsegae in Busan, South Korea) and I'm fascinated by their choice of holiday mascots. No, not Santa, Rudolph and Frosty. Beetlejuice, Satine from Moulin Rouge, and Lola from Kinky Boots. I want an oral history of how that trio was decided upon.

I don't mean to be cruel here but I've been active on tumblr again for like two months and I truly don't know how many more literacy-starved people in their thirties who believe one character having dark hair and and another being blonde is a character dynamic in itself I can take

Nov. 29, 1925: “Joins Masher Smashers,” reads the New York Daily News headline after Lenore Sokol smacked a man who was harassing her on a Manhattan streetcar and had him arrested.

last night I saw a tumblr post about how "ummm a lot of your reactions to wicked are just making me think you wouldn't stick with your partner if they became a living scarecrow" and I cannot stop thinking about this

Caught one of those Annabelle Conjuring movies and I think they’ve made too many of them, she’s a lawyer in this one but never thought the biggest case of her career could lead to love

The landlord class is fundamentally parasitic. The very idea of owning land is ludicrous let alone treating is as a purely extractive source of 'passive income' rooted in the exploitation of people who just need a fucking place to live.

34 years ago today, Homer Simpson was the magical man from Happy Land. (Oh, by the way, he was being sarcastic.) “Flaming Moe’s” premiered November 21, 1991.

ngl the explosion of monster romance post-gdt frankenstein has revealed some really really uncomfortable attitudes about who and what some of you consider to be monstrous

Oh No...the GRUNCH. #kaseyart

losing my mind at how much open bitterness there is on tumblr from people who are like "oh so there's this massive fandom explosion over frankenstein but you bitches couldn't do that over nosferatu" I'm sorry the babiest boy in the world is more normie-popular than the rotting pervert??

these are four entirely different dynamics

Elizabeth gets a TikTok just so her bestie can join the trend and infodump about his leaf. #frankenstein

people will just come on here with cutesy little fandom display names and say that the problem with the death penalty is who's doing the murder

i think if democrats at a bare minimum don't permit this grassroots left-populist wave to bring more social democracy into the party's DNA they are facing a genuine mutiny of rank and file members

this might have merit if it's about the people who (for example) see someone post a picture hanging out with friends and there happens to be a can of Diet Coke on the table and they make it a screed about how dare you drink the same soda as Mango Mussolini, are you a MAGAT?, but I really doubt it

white libs looooove making special revenge fantasies about fascists of color that specifically entail the white fascists systematically murdering them before the white ones themselves are presumably given proper trials and executed legally

I didn’t know what three-cueing was until I looked it up just now and holy shit, I distinctly remember doing that as a beginning strategy when I was learning to read at about four years old *and being corrected out of it until I stopped*. What do you MEAN that’s the current TEACHING STRATEGY

Cowards die many times before their deaths, The valiant never taste of death but once.

They couldn’t even give the base one fucking week of enthusiasm

On second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.

based on the reaction to how my hair looked the last couple of days I guess I’m just sleeping in rollers now
