the problem with autism is sometimes you want to do something (brave) but you need someone to gently walk you through each step so you know what will happen. and people don’t like doing that

I will say I get the vibe that a lot of peoples interest and support for strikers is a bit too much for a vicarious ‘burn it down’ thrill, rather than for the actual goals of a strike.

Like UPS has agreed to come back to the table and it is very possible they will concede to Union demands and avert a strike. And if that happens (so long as the union does not make concessions on its key demands) it’s a good thing. It’s a victory for the laborers. It is the same ultimate conclusion that a strike would intend to produce except without the workers having to go on (not so great) strike pay for a week or two.

Getting what you want without having to strike is sort of like getting someone you're suing to settle. It allows you to get what you want with a lot less pain and financial sacrifice. The other party also benefits for the same reasons (not to mention saving face), but that in no way diminishes your victory. Sometimes the threat of fighting back is enough to get the powers that be to back down--thats a good thing

Didn’t see any posts about it so here it is for the other Photosensitive folks,

Nimona has a lot of flashing lights, no intense strobing (ie Incredibles) but includes:

Alarm sequences (red lights, ‘police’ lights), explosions and gunfire

Sparks/flashing/flickering lights, firelight

Thunderstorms and lightning effects,

Flashes from color to black (hard to describe)

All within the first few minutes of the movie, frequently throughout.

It wasn’t too terrible when I watched with other lights on during the day but I tried watching it with them off and it was pretty bad. Sharing this so other people can find it would be much appreciated!

Dear tumblr staff,

stop. its ok. you don’t need to do these things. just focus on functionality(like the video player). we don’t need these little updates when somethings(like the video player) need your focus. thank you for your time but really, tumblr looks great. try to fix more important things(like the video player) so that we can all properly enjoy the features of tumblr(like the video player)

This post is a decade old this year.

either tumblr's moderation staff is actively transmisogynistic or they have completely automated community label reviews and their automated system is, because of its training sets, transmisogynistic. and to be clear i think the second one is both more likely and also worse

Can someone explain in more depth what's happened and how they are problematic? Any pictures or screens hots would help too.

from my understanding, transfems' nonsexual selfies keep on getting disproportionately marked as needing a community label, as well as sexual jokes by transfems/mentioning transfems and just comments. mentioning sexuality and being transfem being disproportionately marked as needing a community label when the cis equivalent of that isn't

As a general rule, don't trust anyone who identifies as a "normal person".

“we must make sure you do not appear here again. bailiff, whack his peepee.”

*whack sound*

*Mel Blanc scream*

is there a name for this

"Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up."

One precious tag was "there just isn't any money in the internet" and like... Yeah.

The internet, to me, is like roads, tunnels, bridges or rail. It's the infrastructure by which commerce and exchange happens but a road is never going to "pay for itself" in the manner that capitalists conceive of value generation. The internet and most websites can't be commodities, and even if you plaster ads everywhere a website doesn't really generate value in itself. It's a place to sell things or even services but the website is a framework in which those things are held.

Infrastructure is, taken in the sort of worldview capitalists work with, a money sink. Every good it provides is an abstract value, the road doesn't earn money, it facilitates taxable trade. The return on investment is nebulous and hard to see on a balance sheet.

When the .com bubble burst, you'd think people would've worked it out, but web 2.0 still happened.

Of course! Enophthalmos!!

These ladies in action:

apps that use pop-ups to try to trick you into turning on certain settings by quickly clicking yes literally never work on me. a pop up stops me dead in my shit and confuses the hell outta me, now i'm mad and there is no way i'm turning that stupid setting back on

this is it

Mad because you don't have bird vision?

Seethe . You will never b them

very well, i shall smoke this “bowl” with you. but take warning! henceforth i may become quite….. silly…

I had to mentally send myself a reaction image the other day. I ran up the stairs on all fours, said to myself “i’m such a locationpilled scampercel” and then perfectly envisioned this image

please i've already hurt so much

headcanon that skeletons display affection by bonking skulls like cats, mainly because i think undyne would immediately endorse headbutting contests as a love language

the tags tho

[ID: a screenshot of tumblr tags in purple font against a black background. they read: #undyne: DUDE cause like the harder i hit you means the harder i love you right, #papyrus lying flat on the ground blinking away the white spots in his vision: IT DOESN'T!! BUT I APPRECIATE THE THOUGHT, #undertale. end ID]
