It is vital for kids shows to have the horrors in them. The children YEARN for the horrors. They CRAVE the horrors. I craved the horrors and so will the next generation. And so will the next. Years and years and years of craving the horrors. Which is why you gotta put scaries into the kids stories.

I’m never going to win the hearts and minds of everyone but I can try my hand at appealing to one specific demographic: millennials jaded by enshittification.

Do you miss Microsoft office 2000? Did windows vista ruin your life? Are you as lost as I am when you open Microsoft word and get greeted by a splash screen and thirty templates you’ve never needed?

Use LibreOffice!

LibreOffice Writer looks and behaves exactly like Microsoft Word did a quarter century ago!

Download it now and stop letting Microsoft mine your data and waste your cpu cycles to make a word processor look flashy.

another thought about "gen z and gen alpha don't know how to use computers, just phone apps" is that this is intentionally the direction tech companies have pushed things in, they don't want users to understand anything about the underlying system, they want you to just buy a subscription to a thing and if it doesn't do what you need it to, you just upgrade to the more expensive one. users who look at configuration files are their worst nightmare

btw, as someone with hypermobile ehlers-danlos who self-injects HRT, i wanted to take the time to recommend liquid bandage to anyone else with hEDS and any other conditions that cause one to have easily damaged skin!

i use the Walmart brand but it is the same as this one here! they generally contain antiseptic as well, so it helps sterilize the injection site as well! i've included the back of the package to show the active ingredients, make sure you check just to be safe if you have allergies to certain medications. it peels off super easy, i never notice when it comes off, whereas with latex and fabric bandages, it would pull and tear my skin too much, to the point where it would cause bleeding. this does the trick with no pain or skin damage!

i feel so bad for nikola tesla like imagine spending years beefing with a guy who has conned the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and you end up dying broke and starving and alone and then 100 years later another guy cons the public into believing he's some sort of supergenius when in reality it's his overworked employees developing all of his world-changing inventions and he's doing it all IN YOUR NAME. he must be rolling in his grave like a fucking rotisserie chicken

The one thing men in the 1700s did right was have long hair they tie back into a low ponytail with a little ribbon and also have a few stray strands at the front. Almost everything else they did that century was inexcusable though

“a penis is Ontologically Evil because it’s technically capable of perpetrating sexual violence” damn, wait till you hear about hands!

everyone trying to own trump about the "he doesn't know sex isn't determined at conception" thing really fundamentally does not understand what the point of that was, and learned basically nothing from his first term. he is not invested in scienve, biology, or any rational discussion where his provably false beliefs would be subject to scrutiny. he is signaling to everyone in the country that it does not matter what you say, he will never care and he will take every action to enforce these views and embolden his followers with the same rhetoric. you cannot logically talk to a person like this when they are reasoning with emotion, not logic. you cannot dunk the transphobia away. someone post the vonnegut quote.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

"after they come for the Jews they'll come for- "

Yeah. Quite likely. But also even if people are only coming for the Jews I think that's still very bad. Like I think we can condemn violent and organized attacks on Jews without needing the motivation of being afraid we'll be next.

CRWBY love long form storytelling.

Remember Ruby's line in V1 that led most to think "Ruby is a realist who knows the world isn't perfect but wants to do good anyway."

Only for later volumes to show not only the weight of leadership thrust upon her but how that ideal was less grounded than perceived, coming together in V9 to show:

"Ruby is a paragon intent on making the world better and has come to view it as her personal responsibility and the weight of that is crushing her."
