The number one funniest example of people inventing bullshit reasons ships they don't like are "problematic" that I've ever seen was people calling Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister "like siblings".

Fam.

Have you forgotten the number one most notable trait about Jaime Lannister.

Never seen/read GOT, be right back, gotta look something up.

Oh.

Happy Pollinator week to the Baltic Isopod, the first underwater pollinator discovered by science! Lab studies imply that their activities help pollinate seagrass and macroalgea. Is there anything isopods can't do?

Baldur's Gate 3 Appropriates Sacred Indigenous Tattoos

I was so disappointed to boot up the character creation for Baldur's Gate 3's full release, only to see they added tattoo designs that are very clearly copying from sacred tattooing practices of the Inuit and the Māori.

^ This is clearly copying Tunniit.

^ This is clearly copying Tā moko.

Please do not use these tattoos. Larian should never have included these designs. I personally plan on modding them out of the game at the first opportunity.

another day in the colonies where video game devs appropriate without care

i still get angry about phasmophobia and how now every gamer wasicu is using the word ‘smudging’ without having any context

The way the homless are treated is completely fascistic everyone involved is responsible for cruelty and violence.

These rules also apply to many halfway houses that you pay rent to live in (taking your financial assistance away) and even disabled living accommodations I've been in have most of these rules as well. So even if you get past a shelter, the 'better' options are controlling every aspect of your life but also taking your money too, at least in California.

a thing i've heard from folks who have been stuck in these shelters is that if you're assaulted and you report it, you will be kicked out.

also, can confirm that they will take your money, or cut the money you're receiving because they're "offering you service that must be paid for".

damn. this post blew up. read up on the West Virginia Coal Wars and remember not to cross picket lines. unionize.

being uncomfortable becomes easier when you realize that’s literally the point. it’s like working out. if you work out & it becomes easy for you, you already got all you could out of that workout. your body adjusted & is strong enough to handle it now. you’re not improving anymore. that’s why you up the ante with harder workouts, where you’re uncomfortable & not quite strong enough yet. bc eventually you will be strong enough. but if it’s not a challenge, there’s no gain. & that’s exactly how it is with situations out of your comfort zone. the more you put yourself in them, the easier they get—but that in-between phase where you’re struggling is still completely valid and ok and natural. it’s what’s supposed to happen. it’s what’s going to change you as a person. and you should keep doing it

Some tags I found in notes that I feel are a very, very important caveat
