S O. Laptop troubles. Charging port is broken. Apparently this is just something that happens to this brand, lenovo legion. Pc runs too hot and it makes the plastic in the port brittle so it breaks. Looking it up on google n says that to fix it the motherboard will have to be replaced.

Looked into taking it in, and apparently its going to cost 145 dollars alone for them to even Look at it, n who knows how much it'll take to fix it.

s o if its way to expensive to actually get it fixed.. I might just ask them to pull all my files off of it, and try n save up for a new one, but who knows when we'll have the money for it.

I've gotten most of my important files off of it already, in a usb, just encase it dies at all before I can take it in.

Hate not having the money to fix my own problems. hate how expensive everything is.

sO IF I disappear at all its cus my laptops died - And I'm unable to get it fixed.

Dick (Nightwing) and Jason (Robin) stare at Bruce. One sports pleading eyes, the other a shit eating grin. There’s a child between them with black hair and blue eyes.

Bruce, he doesn’t know what’s happening but he doesn’t like it: No.

Dick, grinning: He’s our younger brother now.

Jason, nodding seriously: You’re not gonna take him from us.

Tim, got kidnapped while taking photos of patrol, just happy to be there: Where’s the Batcave?

Bruce: what.

Dick, grinning wider: He’s ours now.

not arguing with the post; it's correct. been trying to figure out what bothered me about it though and it's the "super fucking mad about queer acknowledged as slur" thing. because 'queer is a slur' discourse is FUCKED--that's what happens when it's started by bad faith actors (terfs). you have a lot of people yelling that queer isn't a slur because terfs popularized the idea that queer is a Special Slur that can't be used anywhere and everyone needs to be very careful about because it might Hurt Another Gay To Hear It, that queer needs to be tagged and isolated and warned about and Rarely Used. and we all know they did that because queer is the most broad and inclusive of our terms. we also all know it's bullshit because every single one of our words started as a slur.

but that nugget--that you have to be really careful about any community terms because of other peoples' individual trauma and the possibility they could have bad experiences about it--it got spread around. and now you have queers thinking that you can only freely use community terms that don't have a history of pain or oppression. which is LGBT. which can easily have the T cut off. which is what the terfs wanted.

and because all this started by trying to kill the community's use of queer, you STILL have the same LARGE group of people who are sick to DEATH of their ID getting isolated as The Bad Label You Can't Say whose hackles raise right away when you try to point at queer as a slur. and honestly! what the fuck else can we expect! for years it's been "queer is a slur don't refer to anybody as queer unless you have permission first." DUH we're all fuckin skittish. i specifically use queer because of its radical roots, i AM queer as in fuck you. and if someone starts a conversation with me about "queer is a slur" bullshit, i'm generally more ready to bite them than listen.

and like. a nitpick. queer HAS been reclaimed. seriously. the academic field for studying The Gays is "queer studies." we aren't still in the process of reclaiming queer, we're already done. we've been done for like 40 years. the idea that queer is a specifically Bad slur or needs to be specifically Recognized as a slur is ahistorical and about 10 years old. Queer Is A Slur is new (and fucking stupid) because everybody KNOWS queer is a slur! ALL OF OUR IDENTITY LABELS ARE SLURS. some of them are diagnostic terms that used to get people thrown in the sanitarium! so NO it is not about assimilation, it's not about wanting queer sold back to me on a t-shirt, it's terf bullshit we're all stuck dealing with! and it sucks!

anyway, the majority of people on THIS site are statistically likely have FAR more direct trauma over the word "gay" considering it was the insult du jour from 1995-2010 and queer hasn't been widely used since the fucking 70s when we started marching with "QUEER AS IN FUCK YOU" signs and used it as the name of our academic discipline to study ourselves which we named for ourselves.

and now I've figured it out. this post is assuming that intra-community arguments are supposed to be applied universally. "q slur" is a fucking insult to us, acting like our identity that we reclaimed 40 fucking years ago needs a Disclaimer to Protect Other Gays. like we ourselves are too radical for our own fucking community because the queers are too scary and they use a mean word. gonna go through and block every motherfucker on this post that tagged it q slur

christ i'm actually seeing people insist that dyke is not a slur now as if that's a necessary justification for wlw to be able to say it? why are people so fucking terrified of what reclamation actually means? the point isn't to make a weapon used against you so meaningless that target feels safe to sell it back to you on a shirt, it is transgressive and shocking to say "so what if i am that? i am the words that have been the last thing people have fucking heard before being bashed". don't insert yourself into a words history and then deny its weaponization, WIELD IT against your oppressors!!

Whoever needs to hear this. Please know.

"Closed at 6pm" does not mean "The entry door locks up at 6, but if you're already inside you can keep on shopping."

It means, "you should be finished and out of the store at 6pm."

This is not up for debate

This is just how things work

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

you dislike Luke Castellan because he disagreed with an oppressive government system and actually took action to change the abusive ways him and his peers have been forced to follow for millennia.

I dislike Luke Castellan because in the Titans Curse he manipulated Annabeth, who he raised as his little sister, into holding up the sky, the FUCKING sky, for over 20 hours and had the audacity to walk away as though he was completely apathetic towards it while she begged and pleaded with him to help her.

we are not the same.
