The Magnus Archives is like the SCP Foundation if they didn't Secure. Or Contain. Or Protect for that matter. So really they're like if you went to the SCP Foundation begging for help with the monster that had been tormenting you and some tired British academic just sort of nodded and said "Fucked If True." And then proceeded to Kubrick stare at you every night in your sleep for the rest of your life.

also like hobbies are gendered differently in different places (which just proves that hobbies being gender exclusive is bullshit). i crochet and all the women in my family at least know the basics, even if they dont practice, so i learned to too. ive never had any interest in knitting so i never wondered why no one knitted but then i learned knitting was a MAN'S hobby. Yeah knitting. It is apparently a very old tradition that a man knits his childrens first hat as a symbol he will provide for them. Weaving is also apparently the mans job. Weaving in ancient egypt on the other had was a womans job while the men did the laundry. a nice bright pink used to be expensive, so it was a color everyone who could afford it wore. anon i can assure u there is nothing u can do that will "disprove" your gender. because it is determined by who u are, not by what u like to do. u are not any less of a man by picking up some needles just like millions of women arent any more of one by doing the same thing

I just wanted to say I really admire how effortlessly masculine you are but how you also love so many traditionally "feminine" things. I am working on coming out as a trans man and dread people telling me I'm not allowed to knit and stuff anymore

One of the annoying aspects of transition is you become this walking litmus test for weird gender essentialism - even in progressive folks - and you're gonna learn just how much people deprive themselves of personal joy because of it.

I cannot tell you how many well-meaning people ended up shitting on my hobbies out of a desire to give me "man lessons" that I never asked for in the first place.

All I can say is, stick to your guns. Sure, knitting has also historically been a masculine activity, but to acknowledge such feels like giving credence to the argument that you have to drop "unmanly" interests. Knit because you like to knit, not because you are "allowed to" based on some gendered technicality.

Don't feel like you need to sacrifice parts of yourself in order to transition. If the best version of you is a man who knits, or a man who likes pink, or a man who enjoys wearing makeup, resist the urge to destroy these pieces of yourself.

Detractors will attempt to weaponize everything about you in an attempt to de-legitimize who you are. The most radical thing you can do is show them how your passions only make you stronger.

The dread is real, but it gets easier to assert yourself over time. You might even find yourself becoming an ambassador to other men wrt your hobbies. Good luck!

luigi mangione, the SUSPECTED (innocent until proven guilty) united healthcare shooter, has been charged with terrorism. that’s right. a man who supposedly shot ONE SINGLE PERSON is being charged with terrorism. because in america, billionaires lives matter enough that a SINGLE rich man’s death is considered a terrorist act against this country. think about that.

at the spelling bee last night a child was sitting on his mom’s lap on stage (she was the contestant beside me in the front row) and i was wearing a chainmail shoulder accent and the four-year-old reached out to poke it so his mom silently grabbed his hand and he whispered “i like that thing” and I whispered back that he could touch it and so he started like tentatively touching the chainmail while i watched the other contestants spell their words and then suddenly he grabbed it in both hands and just shook me violently to hear the sound the chainmail made so his mom stopped him again and I was biting back laughter so hard i almost started crying on stage.

after the bee my friends in the audience were like “why did that kid attack you in the third round”

“don’t eat honey because it exploits the bees and they can’t consent!!!” bees are literally unionized and will walk out if they don’t like being in the beekeeper’s hives

it would be hilarious if bruce didnt know Alfred had kids and this is how he found out

Jack: What do you want Alfred: Son, please- Jack: Not your son. Not since you walked out on Mom to go to jolly old England. How's that going, by the way? I heard you walked out on your daughter there, too. Alfred: I know I wasn't the best Father, and you have no reason to forgive me, but this is a matter of life and Death. Jack: Oh, big surprise, good old Dad only comes around when he needs something. How about some tea and biscuits while we're at it? Alfred: Please listen. A few hours ago, the Justice League was compromised. Batman was able to send me a coded message that they were being mind-controlled by ghosts before he was captured. You and your wife are the only known contacts for Phantom. The world needs his help before the Justice League goes on a planned massacre. Jack: ....Fine, but only because thousands of innocent people could get hurt. *Turns to shout up the stairs* Danny! Can you come down here?! Alfred: We don't have time for your kids. We must move before- Jack: Unlike you, I always have time for my kids, but no, this isn't just a moment when you met your grandson. You need Phantom, don't you? Alfred: Yes? Jack: Then you need Danny. Danny: Did you need me, Dad? *looks at door* Who's this? Jack: The man who would rather be a butler/nanny to someone's kid than be a decent Father. Also, your new teammate for the upcoming battle. We're going to punch Batman in his dad-stealing face. Danny shifting into Phantom: FINALLY.

[chaos-deimos-et-eris]

[chaos-deimos-et-eris]

i made a massive discovery, cat is not sleeping at my feet, but rather at foot of bed. so if i sleep backward i can get cat space heater near arms and chest (warm and comfy) and not at legs (overheating, being boiled alive)

It's wild and completely unsurprising that capitalism apologists will say stuff like "there's no such thing as a free lunch, somebody is paying for that social service at some point!" and then entirely ignore the core tendency within capitalism to externalize costs and ecological destruction onto oppressed people. They're right -- there's always a cost to these things, but they only selectively consider costs when it stands to benefit their economic system and its ruling class (i.e., "we can't implement that social service because it would cost moneyyyy!!", and never "we can't continue using coal or pipelines because they incur massive human and environmental tolls that our descendants will inevitably have to manage for generations to come"). And this is to say nothing of the gargantuan amount of free domestic labor/care that capitalism constantly relies on throughout the world, and the endless subsidies and tax cuts that the rich receive, and the centuries of colonial plunder that both western nations and rich individuals continue to profit from to this day.

Capitalism is Free Lunch City for the rich. Average people on the ground, however, are the ones actually bearing the costs and suffering their effects. The free lunch line is only trotted out when working-class people question their lot in life and start demanding better things, and the use of this line is a clear case of ideological obfuscation in service to the rich.
