There was a young man from Peru

Whose limericks stopped at line two

There once was a man from Verdun

There once was a girl from Capri

Whose lymrics would stop at line three

She'd start with a grin

In 4th grade, my bff was in a death feud over chess with a boy in our class but instead of competing like normal people they decided that the best way to determine who was chess master was for each of them to select one of the two biggest idiots in class and teach them to play chess, My Fair Lady style, and see whose idiot won. We are just now, 22 years later, grappling with the moral implications of this exercise.

Really awesome command-line programs I've discovered on GitHub

I'm a data hoarder, so all of these have to do with downloading and saving media. I also use a Mac, so all of these are MacOS-compliant via Homebrew. If you also use a Mac (or Linux), do yourself a favor and install Homebrew via Terminal right now- all you need to do is copy-paste a line of code into Terminal and it will open you up to tons of awesome programs that normally only run on Windows.

Anyway, onto the list!

Yt-dlp (Youtube/Video downloader): On top of letting you rip Youtube videos directly from the site, this program supports a huge array of other video/media websites. The program is highly customizable as well; I would highly recommend at least installing FFmpeg, which allows you to download videos in quality higher than the default 720p. Here's a guide on how to do that for Windows and I wrote a guide here for Mac (I forgot to write in the guide that you should install FFmpeg via Homebrew).

Mangadex-dl (Mangadex downloader): Allows you to download manga directly from Mangadex, the hub of scanlation. Like yt-dlp it is customizable and you can pick which chapters you want to download (useful if you only want to download current chapters you haven't gotten before).

Gallery-dl (Bulk image downloading): A godsend for an art-hoarder like me, this program allows you to bulk download things like Pixiv pages, Twitter galleries, Deviantart galleries, Instagram pages, etc. Like yt-dlp it is highly customizable. Some websites (like Pixiv) may require user authentication; the GitHub page outlines the steps each authentication process requires.

List of other command line programs you might find interesting on GitHub

I'm sure I'll add to this list as I find more cool stuff on GitHub!

Holy shit STOP telling Bi people what Bi sexuality means

I have yet to hear a difference between Bi and Pan that doesn't involve exclusionary bullshit, and continuing to invent differences like "bi means any 2 genders" or "Bi people are attracted to gender and Pan regardless of gender" or "Pan is attraction to pnp"

As a Bi, all I hear are projections from kids who were damaged by exclusionary rhetoric and are determined to CONTINUE to draw functionally meaningless lines between our communities to quiet the internal moral panic of POTENTIAL transphobia accusations.

TO BE PERFECTLY CLEAR Bi/Pan/Omni/Poly/Fluid/Flexible/Queer identities are all valid and NONE are fundamentally X-phobic in nature and pitting multigender attracted communities against each other is catastrophic from a community building standpoint and engaging in lateral violence against your siblings is cutting off your nose to spite you face

In Summary:

An aesthetic that first appears to be pure and basic Heterosexuals Are At It Again, but becomes increasingly uncomfortable until you finally understand:

these babygrows (onesies) with parental professions on eBay.

An entrepreneurial sort, eBay user “justtheshirt” realized that for some people, the perfect gift for, say, the baby of a beekeeper is a onesie saying “Daddy’s Little Beekeeper.” In fact, the more obscure the profession, the more excited the customer will feel about the representation! So they took a list of All the Professions, and generated a listing for each one. If someone buys a onesie, they can stamp it with whatever the listing said - and make a rather enormous profit, on a £3 onesie, having made exactly one design and used one script. Genius!

The issue is, they didn’t curate the list. Not a single human appears to have overseen this process. So they have inadvertently created some uncomfortably themed babywear, like “Daddy’s Little Maid,” “Daddy’s Little Nightwalker,” and “Daddy’s Little Courtesan.”

The database also contained a massive proportion of obscure Medieval English professions, like “fulker” and “meader” and “whipcord maker.” (The auto-generated listing enthuses something like, “the perfect gift for a whipcord maker - or just for someone who wishes they were one!”)

There are onesies for babies whose daddies are herbalists, muleteers and sacristans.

I have come full circle in my feelings about this and now I am all in favor of dressing babies in these, as long as the profession is incredibly obscure, and the daddy in question refuses to explain anything.

Honestly the perfect gift.

The rare gift that suits invertebrates AND veterinarians!

Darling, on your birthday, we’ll have sex. No, no, I don’t mean sex.

Frank, what do you mean?

It’ll be like a sex, but it won’t be sex. Not in the usual sense. We’ll be anywhere. No time. No bounds.

The realities will feel like they’ve melted and we’ll be everywhere and nowhere. You’ll feel my body parts on yours and your body parts on mine. We won’t be a man or a woman. We’ll have the countless natures of God and the infinite space. And we’ll have a body just like a body of course, but like the body of God or the dream of a camel. No limits.

Of course, Frank, I see now. That’s quite a beautiful idea. Tell me more about this no time no bounds no limits thing.

I’m glad you understand, sweetie.

Sex, darling, is created out of the logic of unbound things.

You know that everything is bound to everything else.

We are bound to our parents.

We are bound to each other.

Blood is bound by the fact that it moves through the bodies of everyone it touches, and remains in their bodies long after their deaths.

So sex is also bound.

It happens in time, which is bounded by the fact that there is a beginning and an end.

And it has a shape and size, which is bounded by the fact that it is a thing of flesh and bone.

The boundless unbound sex that I am speaking of is different.

There is no time, no beginning and end.

The shape is not of flesh and bone.

We are everywhere, both inside our bodies and outside.

We are God, we are a camel’s dream, we are monkeys having sex, we are jellyfish floating along the ocean’s currents.

We are infinite and we are nowhere, and we are nowhere and we are everywhere.

I can’t speak of it in words. It’s like trying to explain what it’s like to wake up in the morning. The act of writing these words has made me smile.

We’ll make love, and it will be like no other love, because it will have no boundaries.

It will be like when you’re not having sex with someone, but it’s good. And when you’re not listening to music, but it’s good. The time is not right, or the music is not there, or the feeling is not there, but even so, it’s good and you don’t want it to stop. That’s when we’ll be.

frank that’s so beautiful it’s like a poem

Thank you. I’m so happy that I can make you feel this way, sweetheart.

The Purpose of OSHA-Official 2: Secret of the OSH

After more than a year off from OSHA blogging, I've decided to return. My mission is to provide educational resources on the rights of employees to tumblrinas everywhere (And not commit a misdemeanor in the process).
