Fuck Around and Find Out

We have regular doors on either side of revolving doors because 492 people died at the Cocoanut Grove in 1942. We have radar for air traffic control and the Federal Aviation Administration because two planes collided over the Grand Canyon in 1956. Natural gas smells like that because it didn’t before it blew up the New London school in 1937 and killed around 300 people. We have a LOT of fire safety rules because of the Triangle Shirtwaist factory fire. We have stronger cockpit doors because of 9/11 and stronger security for employees because of Pacific Southwest Flight 1771 and lighted aisles on planes because of Air Canada Flight 797.

I mean, that’s just off the top of my head after getting home from working twelve hours overnight. Two hundred and twelve episodes of @disasterarea-podcast, and nearly all of them involved the disaster in question spawning new regulations or rules to prevent the same thing from happening again.

actually i’d like to point out: we have safety regulations because people PROTESTED AND FOUGHT AND STRUCK AND DEMONSTRATED AND RAISED HELL. it took the bereaved families of those who died in the triangle shirtwaist factory years of campaigning for the government to pass regulations about fire and door locks. it took open warfare--the government was sending in troops, dropping bombs-- for miners in appalachia to get basic safety regulations. it takes parent groups and boycots and unions fighting cops in the street. it takes marches on washington. it takes a lot of journalism.

the government does nothing for the silent dead, the humble dead, the polite dead. a dead body is shoveled into the ground and forgotten by the next business quarter.

safety regulations are not written in the blood of silent, disposable victims. they’re written in the blood of those who split their knuckles and screamed their throats raw for a better world.

don’t ever underestimate the value of protest.

just saw a clip where f1nn5ter was saying how at this point, he can’t be cis, but at the same time, he doesn’t feel like he’s trans—he’s just neither. and someone in chat was like “you can’t be neither cis nor trans that’s not how it works” i love finn but why is his chat so fucking bad 😭 stop recreating binaries for the love of god, identity does not have to fall into these neat little boxes for you to police

#this is the exact reason we didn't have a hard distinction between crossdressers and trans until recently #we have so many overlapping experiences and benefit so much from each other's support!#there's graphics from 2010 that are still putting crossdressing under the trans* umbrella!!#but somewhere along the way it stopped being about community and started being about individual identity #what was about giving people freedom to have their own ambiguity and expression got hard lines drawn around it #its very strange to think that in 2010 he would have been understood to have belonged to the queer community for his gender expression alone #but in 2023 he identifies as the wrong thing so he's left in the lurch like so many of us #who can't fit the popular and very narrow current definitions that so so very recent #i understand the point about binaries #but trans* was supposed to be about infinities #defying definition and refusing the boxes other people tried to put us in #f1nn5ter isn't hard to accept when you accept that trans* includes non-normative gender expression as well as non-normative gender identity #when that expression is baked into the identity of the individual expressing it #when we narrowed the definition of transgender to simplify it for a wide cis audience we lost a lot of our siblings in the process #he doesn't have to identify by it #but we don't have to keep using a definition that excludes him (via @yoshiyakiryu)

For old times sake is actually such a heartbreaking and beautiful sentiment. Like, let’s do it for the love that used to be here. It is reason enough.

i see a convo w a character ai and i keep scrolling

daftpatience

listen im seeing tags about people agreeing that ai bots can be really inaccurate and i want to point out that this is NOT about that. the ai bot can be as accurate as you want it to be i still get mad at em.

its not about how good they do at emulating a character, its about that they aren’t a person making creative choices and i hate that. i want to enjoy my characters with other people. hold my hand and tell me all about why you think your blorbo is autistic or likes your favourite shitty band. i love you. if a bot randomly shuffles those opinions out idc if theyre even the same ones im exploding it with my mind.
