do you guys want to know one of the coolest things ever btw. i'm going to tell you either way i just like to give you the illusion of choice

giantanteaters-deactivated20230

when anteaters find an anthill they don't just stick their face in and slurp with reckless abandon. they leave behind enough ants to rebuild the ant society and also don't eat queens. they're not just hunting the ants they are essentially farming them. isn't that the coolest

if you reblog this post without my anteater fact i hate you. it's the most important part.

having autism + adhd causes so many contradicting but overlapping issues it gets wild

so are trying to solve executive dysfunction issues and go “okay which one of you two is it?” And none of the ADHD executive dysfunction tricks were helping, so you figure it must be autism.

So you go to help autism, and those aspects might get better, but then you still have issues. And then you turn and realize you were still right about ADHD, but you were looking at the wrong place. But you found the right place for autism.

it becomes like having a puppy and kitten running around that you haven’t trained well yet. You can’t keep together. and so while you are trying to stop the puppy from gnawing on the leg of a chair like it’s a massive bone, the kitten decides the other chair could be their new scratching post

so you just have to end up going back and forth trying to stop the dog from chewing up the leg chair and the cat scratching up the other chair. until hopefully, finally, you can keep them from doing that a lot less. not completely. just less

idk how people are able to shorten a thought that might be the tiniest bit complex sometimes 😭 my manifestation of audhd refuses to

ok so apparently TERFs believe that when we say something along the lines of "reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050" that we're actually serious.

anyway reblog this post to turn everybody trans by 2050

the sheer number of people replying positively to the idea of fucking supermarket security having free reign to execute you for shoplifting is insane i mean neurodivergent

the murder victim was a Black trans man named Banko Brown who was a community organizer with the Young Women’s Freedom Center since the age of 12. he’d been struggling with housing insecurity and still devoting all his time to helping his community for about a decade. he died just trying to survive this fucked up system. here is the gofundme set up by loved ones for his funeral services if anyone is able to contribute, it’s still about $5k off

feeling like some leftists end up forgetting to unlearn the white savior complex if from a country that uses this weapon when discussing socialism & communism in other countries. especially because this mostly is regarding countries of poc who have been victims of capitalist imperialism

its funny that im still an ml and still have very deep ambivalences about anarchism and existing anarchist movements but the kind of arguments that circulate among mls, libs and libs who think they're leftists are so ridiculously bad faith that i feel offended on anarchists' behalf. it is almost nothing but thought terminating bullshit. "anarchists don't have a good argument for insulin production!" "anarchists don't have a good argument for food production!" they don't have a good argument for them because the very parameters of these arguments are meant to push anarchists to compromise on what they're saying; it is difficult to imagine what a large scale post industrial and decentralized production of medicine would look like, so it is assumed it would be nothing but randos making medications in dirty bathrooms. anarchists are expected to respond to the nonexistent dirty bathroom medicine production problem in the anarchist society that doesn't exist by clarifying that, no, they do still believe in centralized medicinal production and they also support continuing the medical industry and the extractive processes necessary therein etc. essentially the same purpose as the "if you wanna abolish prisons what will you do about RAPISTS and MURDERERS" gotcha, where the only acceptable argument for the people peddling it is to concede ground on carceral logic. and like the prison argument, if you reject the framing entirely, you are accused of supporting the problem. "oh you DONT have a broad schematic of what large scale and reliable insulin production would look like in a post industrial anarcho communist society? wow i guess you want diabetics to die then". you can only critique society if you have an all encompassing vision for what will replace the current society. liberals do this to anti-capitalists by demanding a comprehensive system to replace capitalism on hand, and it's equally bad faith to do this to anarchists, as if we can only condemn societal institutions if we know exactly what should be done to replace them, rather than condemning these institutions for the harm they're causing right now.

transmeds never can understand the invisibility of black trans people. ever in their life.

when you are black and trans, no one believes you, no matter your identity or type of transition, the white trans community seems to think that black people being trans isnt real.

a transmeds view on what is means to be a man or a woman is 100% white. down to the personality, clothes, and culture. for them what is "cis passing" is all based on a white cis man or woman. it is one of many reasons why their mentality is harmful, it serves white supremacy.

Holy shit this entire post is something that I wish countless white folks (especially white trans folks) understood.

Also the part about "cis passing" being based on cis white men and women is so true because Black features are constantly masculinized and associated with masculinity, often times to degrade Black people (especially Black women).

The Elder Scrolls 6 gives you the option to serve probation for lesser crimes in which it takes real world hours to serve your sentences

dragon age inquisition has makes you wait irl hours to complete a war table mission you don’t see play out to progress a plot

imagine if that.

more horribly: imagine if that but you are actively doing it instead of having the time passing in the background. so if you save to come back to it later you have to start from the beginning again and the clock resets

so you just spend an hour hoarding runaway chickens back to the farm or something idk

love how capitalism made it so AAA video games with millions of dollars poured into them are so notorious for being broken and buggy that its safe to assume that one coming out wont work at launch and indie games made on a shoestring budget by like 3 people runs like a dream

and they are raising the price to seventy US dollars, and some gamers are calling people spoiled for being upset about the rise in price despite all that + it is making games less and less accessible to poor people

I’m not spoiled, David. I’m broke.

there is a Japanese twitch streamer talking about having watched an (US)American show recently that she found very touching and moving, and when asked what the show she watched replied with literally what the twitter OP brought up. It was iCarly. She was found iCarly extremely compelling

Someone then informed her the show was for “15 year old girls” and she acted genuinely surprised and said she thought it wasn’t supposed to specifically be a kids show

Are you talking about Japanese youtube streamer momosuzu nene?

Who thought iCarly was a romantic adult drama series.

yep! That’s her

Must have gotten confused and said twitch because I forgot youtube does streaming like that now
