#it's so fucking frustrating

[skyfallscotland]

I think what frustrates me more than anything in modern fandom, is the lack of reading comprehension skills people seem to have. Is it brain rot? Is it modern media? Is it the education system? I don't know but it feels like whenever I say something (mostly anywhere but tumblr) people literally ignore half of it and then tell me I'm wrong because *checks notes* well, it definitely does seem I'm wrong if you ignore half of what I fucking said 🤦🏼‍♀️

Like, me: 2+1+1=4

Them: No, it’s definitely three because there’s a 2 and a 1!

Me: I…? Did you see I said….? Never mind 😒

like every job wants u to provide a police certificate of character but the shit costs $50 and is only valid for 6 months bc idk the avg amt of time it takes someone to commit a crime is 6 months????? like i'm sorry yes i can count 6 months yes i know this is no longer valid but you will just take it as is dont want to hire me well great whatever you're the reasons ppl go on to commit crimes <3

and the most infuriating thing is that I don't understand what's the problem, but there's something somewhere structurally fucked up in how i approach writing and I can tell and it's awful and so to reiterate: i hate it here

Sometimes tumblr just decides to cut off my dashboard after a certain post. No matter how much I refresh or close out/reopen the app. She says "no more" and my dash ceases to exist further.

Did an intake form for a doctor I need to go see later this week. In the Sexual Health section, they ask:

What is the gender of your sexual partner?

-- Female

-- Male

-- Intersex

I didn't answer the question at all, because none of those answers apply. My partner's gender is nonbinary. And I KNOW that the form is asking about what genitals I interact with, but the way this question is phrased shows a distinct lack of knowledge of how sex & gender works -- which is especially concerning coming from a clinic that is well-known for serving the trans community here in my city. Not only does female =/= vagina, male =/= penis, but also there are MANY VARIATIONS of intersex genitals! What is this question trying to even ask me at that point?? Useless waste of my time.

I am going to bring it up to them, because honestly? This is one of the reasons I haven't sought medical care outside of Planned Parenthood for at least a decade. When one of the very first forms I have to fill out can't even be fucked to know the difference between sex and gender, what kind of treatment do I expect to get from this place? What other science do they ignore or misunderstand? Will they consider me female because I have a vagina? Will I have to educate them about trans people 101, wasting my limited time with healthcare professionals who get paid to (theoretically) know these things? Isn't that a little bit like me paying them for the ""privilege"" of educating them on something they should already know?

I cannot stress enough how little details like this are Extremely Important to get right, because I am going into this appointment with the expectation that I'm going to face some amount of transphobia at the clinic I chose to go to specifically to avoid transphobia. Not only that, but now I feel like some of my very first interactions with this office are going to get me labeled as the mean, unreasonable tranny who came in angry about one little badly phrased question. It sets me up to be the bad guy for pointing it out. It prepares me to be on the defensive right out the gate -- an emotion that is not especially helpful when you're trying to seek medical care.

If you're a medical provider and you have any say in the phrasing of intake forms, I am begging you to double check that the sex and gender stuff is mindful of the WHOLE queer community -- to look for transphobic & intersexphobic language being overlooked. And if you don't feel adequately informed enough about sex & gender to know what to look for, then start fucking studying. And pay a trans person to do it for you in the meantime. Medical transphobia is a major problem in the trans community, and if you aren't dedicated to understanding our community, you are in a position where your unexamined biases & misinformation absolutely will do harm.

Finally downloading nightshade and glaze for my art (it's about time really)

On related news did you know there's no unified ai opt out button on Instagram? Because there isn't

[thekidsare-not-alright]

Btw I hate you if you use ai to "make" ryan ross covers of patd songs

I'm very aware how immensely biased German media is in favor of Israel but holy shit did I just witness a new low. Israel has been bombing Rafah, the place that they told Palestinian civilians to hide at for savety, nonstop throughout the night and what is the headline I read this morning at my subway stop? Just "Iraels frees two Hamas hostages"

Question inspired by today's nyancave p3p stream, do you actually need a license to voice act in Brazil? Thought you might know because you live there

Well, not really a specific license for voice acting, you just need to be a registered actor the same way people need to be to perform in theater, television, movies and stuff

What you do absolutely need is a ton of nepotism though

[whippersnappersbookworm]

How do you enable yourself to write? Asking for tips, because I have an idea , a plot even some dialogues but I am out here staring at a blank doc for one hour!

[pleckthaniel]

((I should start charging people 15$ whenever I'm at the store and they ask for my help. Cuz today I was at self check out, scanning items (had six bottles of juice. I scanned seven.) Due to the lady that came to me and was like "I need your help it isn't scanning."

And I stood there, with the cart of groceries I was OBVIOUSLY scanning, and just said "I don't work here." And I scanned it an extra time cuz I lost track cuz EVERYONE fucking decides I work at the store.

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.
