Sometimes non-binary people in real life look like men. Did you guys know that? did you guys know many people don't have the resources to alter their facial structure to fit into your (eurocentric, by the way) ideal of "androgynous"? did you know some non-binary people have physical traits that are commonly associated with their sex that was assigned at birth. Sometimes they don't have the energy to shave or the money to get electrolysis or the desire to get top surgery or the genes for hormone therapy to make a big difference in their appearances Did you know that when you complain about a non-binary character in fiction looking "like a man" you harm actual non-binary people and let them know you're not safe to be around unless they do a lot of surgery, makeup and hormonal treatments to be what you want them to be. Did you fucking know!!!!
What I mean when I do not control the hyperfixation.
I tap the mic. “Most people don’t want to crawl down your chimney and steal your dog.”
the crowd murmurs uncertainly.
“If someone wants to steal your dog,” I continue, “there are easier ways to do that. They don’t have to crawl into a chimney.”
Murmuring intensifies. People stand in their seats and begin to boo.
“People disguising themselves as chimney sweepers and stealing dogs is not a rational fear,” I shout. “Literally anyone could steal your dog. Why make sweeping chimneys illegal?”
“I have a list of chimney sweeps who stole dogs from parks!” Someone yells, throwing a shoe.
“You seriously think no chimney sweepers could possibly ever steal from a home?” Another cries.
“Only a dog thief would even want to crawl into a chimney to begin with!” Says a third.
A single tear rolls down my cheek. They are all so fucking stupid
This is a metaphor
So somethings been bugging me about act 5 of ISAT. You see the party says this:
But the distortions only affect the side rooms with the main hall being unaffected and Siffrin opened all the doors so they wouldn't have much reason to enter said side rooms.
Clearly there's only one answer as to what happened and why they needed Loop's help to get to the top.
Siffrin takes point not just to disarm traps but because everyone else sucks at basic directions
I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.
So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.
Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.
This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.
Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.
And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.
Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.
where is all the art that perfectly appeals specifically to my exact tastes and desires and nobody elses
people have lost sight of what "reclaiming" means I fear. calling someone else a slur in a way that translates to "I think you're stupid/a bad person/whatever" is not reclaiming that slur. using a term in the same way it has been historically used (i.e. to put people down, to reify a particular power dynamic, etc) is not "reclaiming". I don't care if you're part of the same group. you're just being an asshole

The grim reaper was initially illustrated as doing a mundane, regular job that everyone has seen done - a reaper swings his scythe and the hay falls, just as easy as people fall as death swings. Now many people who have never been to a farm only know the scythe as the weapon of Death personified, and farmers in most places of the world don't even use them anymore.
Imagine Death personified as someone doing a modern regular, mundane job. Imagine thinking "hoo boy, this is it for me. The Grim Bin Man is coming to collect, hauling my sorry soul into the trash compactor of his great eternal garbage truck."
hear him out
i have never met an unpsychotic person who knows what it actually means to “not encourage the delusion” …not a single one
(through gritted teeth) sometimes what's good for your mental health isn't another do nothing day or a little treat sometimes what's good for you is putting in some of the work. Not all of it at once but sometimes you have to finish that essay or at least take the next step or you have to clean your room or at least dust the shelves or you gotta do the laundry or at least put it all in the hamper and it's not fun and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks and it sucks but you have to because i read a post on the internet that told me that's what being nice to yourself is sometimes
The more I reread All Systems Red (too much) the more I adore Mensa, expect more of her scenes because she deserves the world.

being sad and trying to think about ur favorite characters to make yourself feel better is always kinda funny when every character u like is an abominable piece of shit. try to think "[X] would comfort me" no they would fucking Noooootttttt. Lol
"doesn't this charater under insane stress going through extremely traumatic events realize how inconvenient their irrational emotional reactions are to the people around them?" well, see, you're not gonna believe this, but the thing is,
I've been seeing a lot of posts about piracy lately and in light of this i do need to say something because I've been seeing a lot of misinformation.
anti-viruses, vpns, ad-blockers- none of these are going to help you here.
the first thing you're going to need is a good solid boat (preferably oak wood). you will also want some cannons and a plank depending on the sort of shenanigans you plan on getting into.
Also! Not once have i seen any of you talking about the importance of citrus fruits and vitamin C. antivirus doesn't prevent scurvy. come on you should know this by now.
this sort of misinformation is wildly dangerous and irresponsible.

“ART sounds… scared? for me? thats illogical.”
-mb, probably
can we all collectively agree to not stop drawing murderbot however we want after the show comes out. i KNOW there's gonna be people getting into it through the show and there'll be a lot of art reflecting that which is good and fine and encouraged however i would hate more than anything to lose the diversity of murderbots i see in fanart rn
There's a unique hell to be experienced if you're someone who's any type of self aware of your paranoia and/or delusions and you try your best to not 'freak out' over them ever due to masking or just wanting to maintain some sort of self-control so people aren't cruel to you... because now people will not take your issues with paranoia/delusions seriously and not believe you even have them.
Family, friends, therapists, other professionals, ANYONE you may try and talk to about your issues with will dismiss your concerns with the bullshit 'oh, but you seem to be aware, so it doesn't look like it's really a problem then', because most of these people think the only way to experience paranoia/delusions is when paired with hallucinations and breakdowns. Society punishes people who act out - you're called crazy and outcasted and people want you locked up in a psyche ward - but when you try your best to behave 'normally', people just act like you're being dramatic and/or you'll get over it easily, or they're just straight up invalidate you and say you aren't experiencing anything.
Like... no, they're affecting my life, and very badly! Just because I'm not overtly breaking down in front of people every time they flare up and get really bad for me doesn't mean it's not ruining my life and sanity and relationships!! Do I really need to throw myself on the floor and start screaming when it gets bad for me again so someone will finally believe my struggle? You really can't ever win when it comes to mental illness and it's so damn depressing and infuriating.
