Anime studios need to strike next

Down with seasonal anime down with overconsumption down with every series regardless of how complex needing to be boiled down to fit into 12 episodes

there’s just too many shows

too many shows and they’re coming out at such an unprecedented rate that we can’t even fully appreciate them. and I KNOW that people are slaving away in unethical work conditions to make them, all so that nobody can even remember them, no matter how lovingly crafted or beautiful they really are

forget fast fashion in 2023 the only viral trend i wanna see is workers unionizing

oh hey look what game it's time for:

Every time I see another thing like this, my firm adherence to the idea that history is complicated and big events can't be laid at the feet of a single person gets a little shakier.

i just saw a trans dude like My Age say some shit like "im a trans man and im bisexual so theoretically i could date women but then i would be subjecting them to having to date a man and i dong want anyone to suffer that much" and ive seen so many similar videos on my fyp from trans boys so if ur a trans boy reading this i love u its okay to be a man. ur not a monster ur great transitioning wont make you abusive or anything i promise its okay to be a man

“Being a man makes you Contaminated In Some Way and women having romantic contact with men are Suffering” is radfem koolaid.

Favorite part of seeing a new doctor: when they ask about birth control

Doctor: Sexually active?

Me: I'm over 35 and have a toddler, so we'll say yes but it's really more of an aspirational thing.

D: Hormonal birth control?

M: No.

D: Are you trying to get pregnant?

M: Ha, no, once was more than enough.

D: Barrier method?

M: Just the aforementioned toddler, so no.

D: If you don't want to get pregnant, you really should be using some form of birth control.

M: Oh, I am. I find that the absence of fallopian tubes is extremely effective.

D: o___o checks my record Oh. Right.

M: >:-}

my favourite story is when my doctor was like she was in her third trimester, pregnant. I'd been seeing her for several years by that point. When i first started seeing her I was IDing as a guy.

"Is there any chance you could be pregnant?" ". . . No?" "When was your last period?" ". . . . . . Never?" She puts down her clipboard for a second and looks at me confused.

"Sarah, I'm trans, you knew me before I came out . . ."

"oh my god"

She held her head in her hands in embarrassment and disbelief that she'd forgotten and then blamed it on the memory issues that some people get when pregnant but I guess that also means that I was passing so that's nice lmao

That is amazing. I love your semi-himbo doctor.

My GYN office still asks me when my last period was every time I go in.

The same GYN office that did my hysterectomy a few years ago.

Truly incredible continuity of care.

Yes. Yes they are. And that's kind of the problem. They're on auto-pilot, talking and treating what they expect to see and not the patient actually in front of them. I put a humorous spin on it because I choose to laugh at the absurdity, but I'm honestly really annoyed that something as simple and routine as checking my medical record for recent surgeries is apparently beyond the capacity of the person who is supposed to be helping me figure out why my body is doing THAT.

If a doctor, especially a GYN, doesn't notice that my record says "C-section with bilateral salpingectomy," they're going to make some assumptions that could negatively impact quality and appropriateness of care. If I have abdominal pain, it is not going to be because of a twisted fallopian tube, for example. It may be from adhesions formed during the healing process from the C-section. That happened to my mother! That's also in my record! Because it could be relevant and important for my medical care team to know.

As an engineer, if I approach every problem with the same set of questions, that may work fine for 70% of the work in front of me. But I'd be a really bad engineer if I couldn't recognize that remaining 30% and respond appropriately.
