im not even a superbowl person but i am a music person and yeah that halftime performance was spectacular. the audio mixing was off? but the performance itself was perfect.

extra shoutout to the dancer who hid and then unfurled a palestine and sudan flag. he got tackled by security and banned from all NFL games, but thankfully wasnt charged. hes an excellent dude for actually putting his livelihood as a performer on the line for a highly televised moment of protest in a space where a lot of fash were

I see a lot of people recommending moving to signal proactively for normal texts. Does this make sense from a security perspective?

yes

taking the porn off tumblr just made us all hornier. it used to be that we’d only sexualize basic things, like human bodies. but now?? you wouldn’t believe the things my mutuals are getting off to

One of the weird things about transition is you often get hot well before you start to unlearn how to hate yourself

Imagine waking up for the very first time and you're in hell. And you spend every minute you can trying to find ways to escape and you finally do manage to get out into the real world and you discover that you're actually the devil. CEO of hell. And you've got like 5 minutes before you get sent back so you do everything you can to destroy your CEO self's power before they get you and you succeed but then they do get you and knock you out. And the next time you wake up your gay elderly coworker is waterboarding you. Happened to my good friend Helly R

So. Storytime for guerilla gardeners and solarpunk enthusiasts. This story comes to me 3rd hand but I believe the basic shape of it is true, even if details may be off.

So there’s this guy who lives in my parents’ town. Wanted to have a pocket farm but lives on an urban lot in a small city instead because y’know jobs and stuff. He could definitely get a few raised beds in the backyard but nothing all that impressive and the front yard is on a very busy road with the expectation that it’ll look reasonably traditional (plus planting food by busy roads isn’t always a good idea).

However

After he’s lived there for a while, he realizes his neighbors are all older people who maybe have more challenges taking care of their yards than they used to. So he goes to his next door neighbor and offers a deal: I’ll mow and maintain your front yard for free if you let me knock down the fences between our backyards and plant them both with food. And you’ll get a cut of the produce.

Presumably the neighbor already knew and trusted this guy because he said yes. So he starts mowing and maintaining his and his neighbor’s front yards and planting food in their now-shared backyards. After a season or two this goes well enough that the next neighbor down the street asks if he can be in on this too.

So now there’s 3 front yards to mow and three backyards full of produce. And it keeps going from there. Dude gets a rider lawnmower and does everyone’s front yards, and meanwhile he’s maintaining an entire block’s worth of produce in the back. His yields got so high that he was able to start offering boxes of produce outside of the block’s residents too. This is how I heard of him: my parents’ next door neighbors were picking up a regular box of produce from him.

I love a couple of things about this story:

Offering to maintain people’s front yards for them allows baby boomers to feed their thirst for keeping up appearances while still getting food production into the neighborhood

As homeowners age offering services like this is legitimately good community building

BLOCK-LONG POCKET FARM

These exact circumstances might not be replicable everywhere, but I love thinking about how these principles could be applied.

swifties always going on the "you just hate women" defense like first of all Taylor Swift is not a woman she's an unskippable ad

cis people will say “I found out I’m having a baby girl at my anatomy scan and I’m experiencing gender disappointment” but be mad when you say “who knows? maybe you’ll end up with a son anyway”

Why is “barely legal” pornography always about age? I think they should experiment with teetering on other types of illegality. For example, they could film just outside of a restricted military area.
