Sometimes I look at ancient history and I’m like man these people are the same species as me. There’s a universe where I too could’ve been persuaded to climb a wall and stab a guy in the neck for the promise of stealing someone else’s bread. Or have been persuaded to eat figs. Crazy.

I can’t make pasta any more without mumbling to myself, “wet the drys… then dry the wets…”

why is landlord white even a thing. why must apartments become Boring as Hell between occupants. i have never gotten the keys to a place and thought "oh thank goodness the walls are all a dingy off-white! I'm terribly allergic to colors." the big complex I was in a while back had a demonstration unit with beautiful blue walls ... and then your lease says "NO PAINTING, CHUMP" and of course you can paint it back at the end but you're also a little worried about the property manager who's so anal about appearances she emailed you to get rid of the dead houseplant on your third floor balcony because it was unsightly. What are you doing inspecting my plant health with binoculars, Ginger? Haven't you got better things to do? anyway I used to work at a hardware store and I would be mixing paint for people pretty often and yes, Benjamin Moore White Dove in Eggshell is the default, OC-17, start with the gallon base for whites and off-whites, mentally beam MAKE BETTER AND COOLER CHOICES into the customer's mind, three taps with the mallet to close the gallon, ring em up at the back register. I don't think they should let you buy White Dove in Eggshell. I think you should have to submit a 1200-word essay justifying your choices before they let you buy White Dove. Or duel the cashier in Magic the Gathering or maybe Pokemon. Or maybe you can't buy only White Dove alone. You need at least a quart of another color alongside it. Like how some places need to serve food to keep their liquor license. I've decided that White Dove prohibition will be the platform on which I run for mayor of [redacted]. I'm a single-issue candidate. We'll be adding "Walls have White Dove" to the list of tenant move-in inspections that the rent board does alongside "Heat doesn't work" or "Carbon monoxide detector missing". I refuse to believe that anyone could actually enjoy the look of every single wall being "white paint that the landlord half-assed the color match on and only painted half the room with in a sliiiightly different gloss finish than the rest of the room." Vote for me today to deal with this urgently pressing issue overshadowing our whole society. anonymusbosch for mayor: I'll Come To Your Apartment And Paint It Some Non-Dogshit Color. For You.

to get a job you have to have 10 years of experience in every possible tool and task that could even tangentially be related to what you'll actually be doing and then you have to prove that you're the smartest person in the world and you're organised and proactive and have great problem solving skills. and then if you beg on your knees like a dog enough and actually get the job, the entire first week will be doing spent reading shit like: 'MANDATORY HEALTH AND SAFETY TRAINING: if the floor is SLIPPERY or BUMPY, you might TRIP. this is BAD. please take this test to check your knowledge. question 1: is tripping bad? yes/no'

its important to follow some accounts on here that post things that are completely above your pay grade. people with advanced esoteric educations or fields of study, people who have been hyperfixated on one really obscure historical subject for ten years etc. because you CAN gradually, through exposure alone, eventually brute force yourself a little smarter. ive done it many times. after a few months or years of silently reading their posts with total incomprehension you will suddenly understand just enough to start asking polite questions and then youre really on to something

This is from an older post of mine someone recently reblogged- discussing how PCOS was discovered to also affect people assigned male at birth, as ovaries and polycystic gonads were discovered to not be a requirement despite the name.

And this response really got under my skin. Every single one of these people responding this way were cis women.

This is what I and other trans men are talking about when we say that unfortunately we are being left out-deliberately or accidentally- of discussions that affect us- and that we are at an increased risk of medical malpractice and medical neglecy.

Over 10% of people with PCOS are trans men or trans masc. Over 50% of trans men and trans mascs actively avoid going to the gynecologist, and this number jumps to over 90% reporting feeling anxious about making and attending appointments. Anywhere from 40-60% of trans men and mascs WORLDWIDE report intentionally poor care from medical professionals, including and especially at a gynecologist.

PCOS has already dramatically affected men, even before it was discovered to affect those assigned male at birth. While I understand the bitter response, as medical misogyny affects both cis and trans women alike, the choice to leave off the three little letters which would clarify the point also serves to silence and erase the way trans men and mascs are and have been treated by the medical community.

(It also inherently labels all people assigned male at birth as "men", inherently misgendering and erasing trans women and fems as well. Not that I think many of these responders care about that either, being that at least a few of them were TERFs when I investigated their blogs).

Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.

I don't think we're doing ourselves any favors by pretending it's wildly incomprehensible as to why someone would use AI for shit. It's actually incredibly obvious why someone would and I think that's like, very much where the problem lies

can I be so real with you. can I be honest. totally aside from the moral panic about women on booktok being """porn addicts""" because they're reading erotica, I think it's so fucking goofy when people act as if there needs to be some kind of societal reckoning with how tiktok books "aren't very good." like, okay? they're commercial products mass produced for entertainment. tiktok didn't invent that; you're going to have to take it up with pulp magazines and dime novels and comic books. you guys would throw up if you found out about Fanny Hill.
