so my roommate asked me to reencode the copies of Armageddon (1998) on the server to be lower and lower quality* and I was generating the first of the 3 copies she asked for and when I checked the results, it turns out I somehow encoded it to... 1152:240?! Ahh, give me that classic 24:5 aspect ratio!

huh.

* she didn't say why and I didn't ask. I'm gonna assume it's a sex thing, because that's the funniest explanation.

Who up gobbling they fucking wawa i guess

Over the last couple of years, I've been paying off some emergency dental work that I needed to get done, and I have about $1400 left to pay. In another couple of weeks, I have an appointment to get wisdom teeth removed, which I don't yet know the cost of.

A week ago, I was victim to a theft that took the majority of my savings. I really hate asking this, but I'm hoping to get some help with paying off my dental work, because I'm now in a much more precarious position. If you'd like to help, you can through my ko-fi, and I'm willing to give my Venmo (though it has my deadname on it). I'm willing to do some writings for anyone that helps out (and not just the smut that I normally do).

$0/$1400

This exciting study led by a sympathetic researcher has been struggling to recruit for years. It now has this webpage which is new to me. Please share widely.

My friend Hala @hala-15 has a seven month old son named Abdul Aziz who needs a gift from all of us! Hala and Abdul Aziz are originally from Gaza, but recently escaped to Egypt. But their struggle is not over: Abdul Aziz has a condition called hirschsprung's disease, in which the nerves in the colon do not form properly, leading to life-threatening intestinal blockages!

Abdul Aziz has already had multiple surgeries despite his young age, but in order to live a healthy life, he needs two more. The first will remove the affected part of his colon, and allow him to pass waste. The second will be to close his colostomy. in Egypt, these surgeries cost 20,000 dollars. Tragically, Hala's gofundme was taken down and all the money was returned to donors, due to gofundme mass deleting Palestinian fundraisers, so much of the money she raised has been lost.

one last reminder for the road that self harm isnt praxis and your privilege is better spent helping the people you can help vs. just sitting in your heart like an unwashed laceration

I'm mostly going to be focusing on staying spiteful and hopeful today but since I've already seen a handful of posts that are like this I do wanna remind everyone that we are dealing with a major surge in radical feminist ideology in queer and progressive spaces, and while I won't fault anyone for venting, now more than ever it is important to familiarize yourself with what radical feminisim is(it is not just hating trans people or trans women it is SO much more and anyone who pretends otherwise is misinformed or intentionally lying) and why it's so dangerous and figure out how to talk about the way the alt-right is targeting young (mostly)white men without getting radfem-y about it.

Don't call them "males" don't act like men are born with misogyny built into their DNA do NOT fucking act like trans men are the enemy and don't spread hopeless bullshit about how men can never improve or will always hate women and thus are a lost cause and the only people we'll ever be safe around are women and queer men who abandon masculinity completely. In the coming years queer, intersex, marginalized, and even some cishet white men will be your allies, they are not a lost cause, they can be swayed to our side, and acting like it's impossible for men to change UPHOLDS the very system that is indoctrinating them right now, it does NOTHING to fight it.

Fr check this at the door now. Radical feminism is inherently racist, sexist, transphobic, classist, and white supremacist and it will NOT save us. I don't care if the person selling you on it is trans or queer or a person of color, radical feminisim is never truly inclusive and WILL NOT SAVE US. Gender and bio essentialism are the tools of the enemy, we do not need them. Abandon them now and purge them from your theory, community, and self.

Solidarity will save us. Radical feminism will only divide and destroy.
