Just fucking chilling

The reason that the a303 makes you so carsick to drive on, is because of the Squid,

All 15 issues of The Nib magazine are available to download for free. 1,600 pages of comics.

The idea that Nerd Culture was this wonderful supportive hugbox before all the popular Chads and Staceys wanted to get in on the action and ruined it, is fucking delusional. Not only is that a massive No True Scotsman, but nerd culture in the 80s was just as fucking toxic and misogynist and horrid as it was in 2010. Watch Revenge of the Nerds and tell me about how Nerd Culture used to be so great before Chris Hardwick ruined everything.

Nerd Culture wasn't used to radicalize naive young men. Nerd Culture was already full of despondent protofascist reactionaries ripe for organization.

There were wonderful parts, I'm sure. Just don't pretend like it was this perfect wonderland. Nostalgia is a poison. We are all better than rose tinted glasses.

My utter disdain for the 2010s era of Nerd Culture eternally evades me. I cannot articulate the trail of slime it leaves in my thoughts.

There's something beneath the simmering misogyny and lobotomized consumerism and hair-pin reactionary politics that I can't quite pin down. I haven't been able to pin it down for years.

It's the reactionary politics but it's not the reactionary politics. My aversion is simultaneously deeply material and deeply petty. It was a culture that I was forced into, but never felt comfortable inside. I wore the label of Nerd like the apron I wore at Starbucks. Begrudging utility. An inevitable consequence of the autism. Social camouflage.

You know what it might be? Not to get all Catcher in the Rye about this, but it all felt so phony and performative. There was a sense that most people didn't even like the things on their graphic tees.

You watched Star Wars because you had to. You familiarized yourself with comic books because you didn't want to feel left out. Your opinions about the things were almost irrelevant. Deeper discussion of Thing took the form of hype-cycle praise, or brainworm-inducing forum arguments in which the only goal was to prove that you had memorized more facts about the thing.

Yet at the same time, genuine passion was looked down upon. Genuine, strange, love was maladjusted and naive, the realm of basement-dwelling austists and mouth-breathing sperglords. Real nerds would never stoop to infodumping. At least we aren't like them. At least we aren't that kind of nerd. No! We're handsome, jacked misogynists just like the people who haven't bullied us since 1991. Nerds are sexy now! Our new love is cool, devoid of both the passion and depth that could make it vulnerable to mockery.

why is finding trans healthcare so complicated can’t someone just hit me up with boy juice and amputitty me already

“you need documentation” ok fine

i have no idea if this will help with your situation, but erin reed has a map with all informed consent clinics- this may be completely unhelpful but i know these clinics make it easier to access hrt with less barriers.

so I made the original post as a joke, but then I saw this and found an informed consent provider in my area and I’m gonna make an appointment. genuinely thank you, this reblog could make my healthcare journey so much easier. hope this helps someone else too <3

twitter doesn't let people who aren't logged in view tweets anymore at the time of me reblogging this so click here for a direct link to the map :)

HERE WE GO MOTHERFUCKERS

from what I've seen, there are exactly Three Jobs hiring at any given time. they are:

I feel like I make some variant on this post once every two weeks, which should tell you how well the job hunt's going.

The vulture capitalist hedge fund that bought and subsequently destroyed Toys R Us now owns Overdrive/Libby.

They have already begun making it worse/less usable and they have a chokepoint monopoly on the delivery method of ebooks borrowed from public libraries in the US.

A fun thing about capitalism is that rich people can buy something a lot of people love and depend on, and then destroy it for fun and profit, and there’s not really anything we can do about it.

And now they’re in closing negotiations to buy Simon and Schuster. I’m sure this will have no negative consequences for books at all.

Linda Blair & Max von Sydow | The Exorcist

one of the most insane things succession ever did was close out season 2 by having tom and shiv attempt to have a threesome on a boat with a female employee in between meetings about how to handle their company being destroyed by waystar execs who, amongst other things, coerced female employees into having sex with them on boats. absolute perfect way to show no one has learned anything from any of the events unfolding.

Beau is Afraid is honestly Aster's most harrowing work but only if you have extremely specific things wrong with you. Thankfully I have so many specific things wrong with me and I Get Him and he's Me For Real

Relating to Beau is a red flag so vivid it's used by mantis shrimps to signal emotions we can't begin to understand
