we shouldn't overlook how gender plays a role in the fact that it has been largely immigrant men being kidnapped and imprisoned, how patriarchal views on maleness is fundamental to the racist fearmongering around immigrant criminality and violence towards specifically white citizen women & girls. just as much as patriarchy is always a factor in how society interacts with people seen as women, it is always a factor with people seen as men. labeling all immigrant men as violent gang members looking to rape and murder white american girls is gendered racism & xenophobia. this is just as much patriarchy in action as anything relating to birth control and abortion and trans healthcare. patriarchy has always sought to enslave & kill marginalized men.

I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"

I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir

diet talk is so inexpressibly nonsensical the instant you know anything about "the human body" or "nutrition" or if you think about it for three seconds

Functionally, there's very little difference between watching a movie on poob and watching a movie on basic cable. Yet, for some reason, the advertisements on poob offend me far more

I drew this in a fugue state last night

the thing is that childhood doesn't just end when you turn 18 or when you turn 21. it's going to end dozens of times over. your childhood pet will die. actors you loved in movies you watched as a kid will die. your grandparents will die, and then your parents will die. it's going to end dozens and dozens of times and all you can do is let it. all you can do is stand in the middle of the grocery store and stare at freezers full of microwave pizza because you've suddenly been seized by the memory of what it felt like to have a pizza party on the last day of school before summer break. which is another ending in and of itself
