wish you guys would hate norway for the intense medical transphobia the way you hated swedes for not feeding people. we couldnt get a legal gender marker change without forced sterilisation until 2016. theres 1 board in 1 hospital in the whole country that's allowed to give HRT and they go by 1950s gender roles (i.e. if you're a trans man who wears nail polish, or a trans woman who wears pants, or you're gay, you're denied), and there's a minimum of a full year of psychological evaluations before any treatment is given (they ask helpful and relevant questions like "did you play with cars or dolls as a child" and "do you think about your parents when you masturbate"). anyway burn down rikshospitalet

Censorship doesn’t only matter when you think something you like might be censored next. Censorship is wrong in and of itself.

Fiction is fiction. It’s not real. People should be allowed to purchase and engage with fiction that others dislike. They should be allowed to purchase and engage with fiction that others find wrong.

I was going to say “people might be using fictionalized depictions of things to explore their trauma! They might be using it to explore important messages! They might be using it for [other justification]”. And any of these things could be true. But they don’t need to be.

Censorship of fiction is wrong. It doesn’t matter if the things I like will not be censored. It doesn’t matter if I find the things being censored repulsive. The problem with focusing on the slippery slope is that it assumes that the bad thing happening now is only bad because of what might come next. But censorship is bad in and of itself.

No one should choose what others can engage with. Not Mastercard. Not Visa. Not Collective Shout. Not Moms for Liberty. No one.

#TextileTuesday:

“Border fragment of wool with a continuous band of #hummingbirds and fringelike appendages representing beans. Early Nasca [Nazca, Peru, c.1-450 CE]. Pollination of bean plants by birds may be suggested here. Border was formed using a needle-knit stemstitch.”

On display at American Museum of Natural History [41.2/6321]

Alright kids say it with me

My thoughts don’t make me a bad person

My feelings don’t make me a bad person

My thoughts, feelings, and impulses only exist inside my head, and none of it matters unless I act on it

Nobody can see my thoughts or emotions

The only things anyone can see and judge me on are my actions

There’s no such thing as a thought crime

thank u

If I hurt you, I'll end it all.

Danny had another nightmare

[zephyrstillwrites]

This dream isn't feeling sweet.

You're the only friend I need Sharing beds like little kids And laughing 'til our ribs get tough But that will never be enough

.

Here's Jazz comforting her baby brother after nightmares to make up for the angst from the last drawing. Danny doesn't wanna tell her what the nightmare was about, but she isn't pressing him about it. She figures he'll tell her when he's ready, but Danny doesn't think he ever could.

I kinda want to establish a baseline now...

Regardless of my opinion on the matter, if I'm going to be talking and asking questions about AI generated works and/or works with other AI input (such as when a creator uses ChatGPT or the like to get out of a block), I feel like it would be useful to establish what I'm talking about exactly.

While you're watching representatives of Hungary's government presenting the trophies on the podium, please remember that this very same weekend Budapest's mayor is being criminally investigated for organising a Pride march, after Hungary's government led by Viktor Orban changed the country's constitution to outlaw LGBTQ public gatherings earlier this year.

i have this unrealistic fantasy in my head where if you calmly and logically explain something to someone perfectly they will understand your position and gain knowledge from the exchange. unfortunately in the real world this does not happen often

do any of you remember that gumball episode where darwin becomes mega paranoid after watching a health and safety video so to quell his anxiety he goes out of his way to make everything kid friendly and inoffensive by propositioning it as being for the children and then he becomes a fascist at the end
