#i. got a little heated.

[ace-sailor-uranus]

See, I think part of the thing is, that's vitally important here -not to make any excuses or anything- but you don't have a Local Sesame Street. You can't go to your local fucking educational puppet show and piss and whine and throw shit, but you CAN go to your local Starbucks/Target/corner-store-that-sells-shitty-beer/et fuckin cetera, and harass the employees and break shit and be a bitch in general. If people make threats against sesame street? Whatever. It's considerably more difficult to find and threaten a goddamn muppet, and i will give you a crisp high-five if you can prove to me that your average motherfucker on the street could pick out any of the face characters from a line up.

BUT

Do you know how many people work at Target? Walmart? Starbucks? Local corner store selling shitty beer?

You agree that the shit that your average customer employee faces on a day to day business is bullshit, right? You're with me on that? Can you think about how much fucking worse it is when it's trumped-up egotistical bitch babies who think that anyone and anything even slightly off from 'normal' is more useful DEAD?

And you trust cops about as much as I do, yeah? Less than useless, violent, blah blah blah. Are they gonna do anything to protect the workers in the stores? Fuck no! Not any more than they absolutely goddamn have to. Bare minimum, across the line.

Do you REALLY think they'll do shit for fucking BOMB THREATS to your local target? Or did y'all forget that fucking happened?

Yeah, sure, definitely keep it up about how it's bullshit that they give in to THREATS to their EMPLOYEES LIVES.

Like, yeah, there's shit they could do better. There's ALWAYS shit that can be better. But throwing the CRUMBS of support that the queer committee can get under the fucking bus in order to lift up something else? What the fuck is wrong with you.

Like. Capitalism is a nightmare, ceos are corrupt, blah fuckin blah. You've heard it before, I'm not gonna make you read it again.

And like, I know the bar is on the fucking floor. Not the point.

PBS (Sesame Street) and fucking. Target. Or Walmart. Or Vons or Barnes & Noble or Grocery Outlet or fucking 7-11- they're not fucking equivalent. You're not even comparing apples and oranges, you're comparing strawberries and fucking. TOASTERS.

Like YES, keep pressuring companies about improving worker wages and lives, but don't. don't compare them.

the way sesame street, a pbs puppet show for literal babies, is pressing on with pride content despite vitriolic monsters descending on every post to insinuate they're pedophiles or demons while some of the biggest companies on the planet who could swim in olympic swimming pools of money like scrooge mcduck on steroids buckle and cave just emphasizes how completely and utterly pathetic these corporations are. they'd butcher a baby if it meant saving a penny.

Anyways if i see one more person giving chappel roan shit for not endorsing harris I'll actually snap. She's your perfect lesbian icon until she has an opinion you don't like and suddenly she's a disgrace to queer folks. She is not your fucking political endorsement machine she is a real human person with her own morals. It genuinely blows my mind how people are turning on her so fast because she said that both political parties, which have been and intend to keep funding a year long genocide, have problems. You're all fucking spinless

realized a drawing i'm doing rn is almost identically posed to one i did 8.5 years ago of a different oc, except the old drawing was instantly tainted by one of the players featured messaging me asking if i could take it down because their abusive, possessive rp partner saw it and got jealous of them "roleplaying behind their back" and i said "nah" and it became a whole Thing that i should have walked away from at that exact moment but didn't and the 6 months that followed contained some of the most truly condensed batshit i have ever witnessed in an rp community already well-known for its batshittery.

... anyway i love my friends. so happy to accidentally redeem the pose.

I just watched a video about the pitfalls of AI and felt the need to share it.

It's important that there are different types of AI. Generative is the kind that steals from artists and spits out "creative" works. Analytical AI is the kind that is working on medical imaging breakthroughs and uses much less energy to power. I feel, however, that the lack of AI related laws is problematic on both ends. Progress without thought to consequence leads to making mistakes that take years to correct, as shown by climate change. I feel there needs to be more files and restrictions with AI, just in general.

This is the last I'll speak on the matter for now. I highly recommend watching the video below. It brings up some very interesting points that I honestly hadn't even thought of.

Alright, I'm just going to speak about it –

Tumblr has always been my safe space for Rose/Tenrose content because places like Twitter and YouTube always seemed to be filled with hate for them. And seeing the sudden influx of hate in the Rose tag has really brought down my mood. I ship Rose with all of the doctors, and seeing that Tenrose shippers have been getting harassed by Ninerose shippers just pisses me off. Why the hell are you harassing people over fictional characters? Because you don't like a character or ship?? Just don't engage with the content you don't like and keep your opinions in the damned anti tag! It's that simple! Stop being an inconvenience to other people!!

–

And this isn't aimed at all Ninerose shippers, obviously. (I am a Ninerose shipper myself. I ship Rose with all of the Doctors.) All of the Ninerose shippers I follow are all lovely and don't disrespect other Doctor/Rose ships.

This is kinda a follow-up to my last post. I’m fully rewatching s4 rn for the first time since it came out and I’m sorry but I don’t see how Dustin and Mike are in the wrong with the Hellfire campaign/championship game situation. I love Lucas and I feel absolutely awful every time I see him sad, but I don’t think anyone was in the wrong here. I just think that they all had different priorities bc they’re growing up and unfortunately that happens.

Dustin and Mike did exactly what Lucas asked of them, they asked Eddie to move the campaign. Then they got denied and given a whole speech about how they’re the whole future of the club by a person who took them in when they felt left behind by Lucas, and people expect them to ditch HF to go to the game? I’m sorry but no. Not to mention the campaign was planned beforehand and obv no one expected the team to get to the championship game or else they would’ve had a sub for Lucas prepared. It was a scheduling conflict. It happens. It sucks but no one’s at fault for it.

Rooting for Jimmy is like watching someone trying to shoot a target, missing all of his shots, coming back with another gun, missing again, then coming back with a new gun and hitting every inch of wall around the target, three birds and his own foot, but not the target itself.

Hey everybody, sorry to have been so quiet lately! Nothing too horrible going on, I assure you but between cleaning an entire house from top to bottom, starting overnight shifts early, setting up a biiiig snake vivarium and getting a new baby to love and care for, it didn't leave much time for writing but now things are settling down! Officially starting overnights tonight and not... you know, Tuesday, but things are as good as they are busy! Hoping to start somewhere tomorrow inbox-wise after a GOOD sleep now that the nerve-wracking part of installing a gigantic vivarium is done for now!

Finally snapped and corrected someone on testament + gear lore in a youtube comment and it got deleted after like 20 minutes lol. But the original comment calling nonbinary people a sex cult or whatever is still up. I hope everyone involved gets hit by a truck
