thinking about that dishwasher poll and the reactions to it going around because, like, i grew up without a dishwasher, right, no one i knew in mexico had dishwashers, they were considered a first world luxury for lazy americans so it's in my culture to make fun of people who don't know how to wash dishes lol much like how no one had vacuums (indoor carpeting was completely alien) and they were associated with an inability or a refusal to put in the effort to sweep and mop. and it's part of the pattern of taking pride in hard labor + looking unfavorably upon conveniences when you can't afford them (which i think can be good and can be bad - depends, not what this post is about regardless) but in the case of dishwashers specifically, i don't think it's common knowledge for people who've never had them (like me, until less than a year ago) that they are not only extremely energy efficient but they use less than 10 liters of water when a running tap of water can use something like 5 liters of water per minute, give or take depending on pressure. unlike things like air conditioners or clothes dryers they are a solid instance of a technology that does what we want technology to do: save us time, effort, money, and reduce environmental impact. and that's really neat! now the problem is we need to kill a bunch of billionaires so that in the communist utopia everyone can have one of these bad boys in their communal kitchen

Out of curiosity, is the Tumblr mobile app still capped at ten images per post, or do most people just break their image posts into reblogs every ten images because nobody told them the limit was bumped to thirty like four years ago?

a friend asking if i could draw Porky and Daffy as Tepig and Ducklett blossomed into something extremely beautiful, and is now going to be on my mind for the end of time. i never thought a Pokemon AU would fit these guys so well, and i am very happy to be wrong!

"hurts because i need to move more" and "hurts because i need to not move it at all" should really be different sensations. i should be able to troubleshoot my own body without just picking one and seeing if that makes it worse.

The rest of the queer community: *throw a fit every time we ask not to be called "girl"* *fetishize us* *infantalize us* *deem anything that becomes popular amongst us 'cringe'* *leave us out of conversations about SA, safety, and reproductive rights even though our rate of sexual violence is at 79%* *say dumb shit like "it should be illegal for trans men to go on T without mood stabilizer* *minimize our trauma that comes with feminity being forced on us* *say dumb shit like "all that work just to be straight" when we like women* *say dumb shit like "get better soon" when we like men*

Also the rest of the queer community: OMG trans men and transmascs don't need their own safe space! Y'all just have a victim complex and hate women!

"'You know,' said Arthur, 'it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young.'

'Why, what did she tell you?'

'I don't know, I didn't listen.'

'Oh.' Ford carried on humming."

Social media has been perilioius lately, and since the handover of the site formely known as Twitter to a "free speech absolutist" who considers anything that challenges his perceptions to be hate speech, it's been easy to lose touch with and track of people and creators.

Fear not, gentle reader, for LoudWindow is still out there serving male empowerment video game realness, such as this great Iron Man concept (which should be standard on Marvel Rivals) on BlueSky.

Excelsior!
