Hello! Remember this post from @genderoutlaws (very sorry for the @, but this is important) about the Michael Knowles event happening at the University of Pittsburgh?

There are actually three transphobic events going on at Pitt throughout the next few weeks. Thankfully, there's protests being planned anonymously to combat these events. This Redbubble shop is designed to raise money for those protests! As found in the account description:

"A fundraising account for the trans rights rally at the University of Pittsburgh! Protesting the transphobic speakers allowed to endanger trans lives on our campus.

Raised money will go toward things like first aid supplies, food and water for protesters, poster board and other sign-making supplies, and legal fees if the need arises. Excess funds will be given back to the wonderful artists who donated their work for this cause."

Right now there are 17 designs by multiple trans & ally artists. More will come soon, if I'm guessing. So check it out!

I'm in contact with some of the people organizing this resistance (they will of course remain anonymous). If you want to support them more directly (i.e. through a direct donation rather than through Redbubble), you're welcome to DM me. Cheers!

PSA: never discuss private affairs in your DMs, especially contraception and abortion. Social media moguls will absolutely sell you out to the government. There are already cases of people being charged based on evidence in their DMs.

another controversial opinion i have about game design is that games with difficulty settings are often functionally different games and can be evaluated differently. for example i think civ vi on Emperor is a good game but civ vi on Deity is a bad game

borderlands 2 standard and TVHM playthroughs are good games but borderlands 2 UVHM playhtough is a bad game

I’m interviewing with an aquarium tomorrow and this is how the interviewer signed her email

Best Fishes offered me a job btw. I’m moving to Maine sometime in May

Antisemitism truly is everywhere and is nightmarish and disgusting. I was looking for old anti-scabbing Union posters and a whole bunch depict scabs as obvious awful Jewish stereotypes (big hook nose, hunched over, long beard and curly hair… it’s obvious what they’re going for) and are still being reposted online to this day? By supposed leftists? But who’s surprised, leftists ignoring antisemitism isn’t news.

I, a hearing person who likes subtitles just as a preference, shouldn't have to read a subtitle that's obvious nonsense, go back a couple seconds, and listen again in order to figure out what's going on. An accessibility feature should not be the most half-assed part of a professionally made production. Scripted media has absolutely no excuse for not having subtitles or having subtitles that aren't perfectly verbatim. Professional captioning services should be ashamed of the shoddy work that they put out. Captions should be treated as a part of the production, just like filming, editing, audio balancing, etc - and anything that releases with missing or bad captions should be seen as unfinished

hey, be careful searching anything related to the barbie movie on google right now, including actors names.

a flashing hot pink particle effect animation plays over the entire screen, both on mobile and pc, and several UI elements turn pink. it plays as soon as u search and plays again every time the page refreshes

[ID: A screenshot of the effect in action on search results for Margot Robbie. It's a bunch of bright pink bursting star and glitter effects all over the screen, and multiple UI features' colors have been changed pink. End ID.]

theres no warning, no easy or apparent way to turn it off, and if u accidentally tap the button to replay it, it layers. it lasts for several seconds and actually made me nauseous with a migraine from it

honestly cant even believe google got away with this, its outright dangerous and i cant even figure out how to toggle it off 😒

ive gotten a couple comments about firefox and reviews are mixed because some are saying it doesnt play the animation on firefox, but it played it on mine (mobile) so id be cautious on firefox if u arent completely sure

tbh i kinda hate the "lol tumblr users are old and thats why we're in pain" jokes

like. no. you arent old, youre fucking 30, and if youre in constant pain there is something wrong and you may be able to actually DO something about it if you acknowledge it!!!!

like yeah the only medical care a lot of people have access to is worse than useless but instead of pretending its fine and normal we could be sharing resources and figuring shit out!!!

this is super important

I'm a lot older than 30, and my history includes motorcycle accidents, getting shot, tearing tendons, breaking bones, dislocating a shoulder, etc

yet I only feel pain when I do things that I can easily avoid, neglect to do mobility work after hard physical activity, use bad ergonomics, or just do something stupid

if you're relatively young and feeling pain unrelated to a physical injury, talk to someone who's an expert in physiology or physical therapy

if you have good health insurance, get thee to a doctor or a physical therapist who can diagnose what's going on and put you on a treatment or maintenance program

living with unnecessary pain can lead to or mask chronic illness

pain is a warning sign - understand what you're being warned about

i for real havent done a single thing alone or in peace since we brought the cat into the apartment and i think that's wonderful. also she just walked across my keyboard to sniff the snack i'm eating so enjoy the tags
