Just My Thoughts and Feelings.

I think so many problems online can be solved by either going "damn, not my problem" or simply sending a screenshot to a group chat

but then again, its kind like putting a meat suit on and telling a shark not to eat you

We (men) are not fucking sharks!

We are not rabid animals living off of pure instinct

We are capable of rational thinking and understanding. 

Just because someone is cooking food doesn’t mean you’re entitled to eat it. 

Just because a banker is counting money doesn’t mean you’re being given free money.

Just because a person is naked doesn’t mean you’re entitled to fuck them. 

You are not entitled to someone else’s body just because it’s exposed. 

What is so fucking difficult about this concept?

How can you not reblog something like this

Boom

As a man I’m real fucking tired of the idea that I have no impulse control. We all have it, some of you jackasses just think you’re above it.

Sure you could have human conversations but have you tried having echolalia and a cat that makes weird noises?

I would dearly love for more people to be capable of differentiating between public risk and personal risk.

Examples: drinking is a personal risk. Drinking and driving is a public risk. Going scuba diving is a personal risk. Running a scuba shop with faulty equipment is a public risk. Riding a bicycle without a helmet is a personal risk. Not maintaining public transport safety standards is a public risk. Foraging for mushrooms is a personal risk. Advertising a mushroom identification app that uses shoddy AI is a public risk. Elective surgery is a personal risk. Not wearing a mask in a doctor's waiting room when you are sick with a contagious illness is a public risk.

I could go on just about forever here. But it's a really important distinction and it drives me nuts when they get conflated, and it's so common.

Isr@el targets and eliminates any individual that benefits Palestinian progress- teachers, doctors, scientists, engineers. This is the regime that gets our government’s infinite support…no questions asked.

Hi have another one of these

welp.

Guess we'll be removing the Gilbert Baker 1977 Pride Flag from our site, along with the links to the Gilbert Baker Foundation.

Heads up to other queer artists: if you use the original 1977 flag in anything, definitely don't make any reference to who created it in your listings or you might get threatened by the Gilbert Baker Foundation! :)

Happy End Of Pride Month From CMG /s

I'm just here going "... so, to be clear, you are issuing legal threats to a small Jewish-owned company in the name of Gilbert Baker... because we used his name in identifying the colorway associated with his flag?"

My wife just looked it up -- we've made less than $500 in the last 5 years on any items in that colorway. It is not popular. We spend a lot of time educating young queer people what that flag even is and why it's important.

Well, spent. Because we're not doing that anymore.

Good job spreading awareness of Gilbert Baker's work, guys!

Unreal. What would Gilbert Baker think?

~ Gilbert Baker

Apparently in 2019, after Baker had passed away, the Foundation partnered with an LGBTQ business student group called Pride Corp. and became litigious about the use of the flag?

Nice work guys, honoring Gilbert Baker by shitting on independent queer creators (who are doing your job for you) sure is one way to do it.

It's specifically about the name. We can use the flag, but giving credit to Gilbert Baker as its creator by calling it the 'Gilbert Baker flag' is the issue, because we are 'using the name for promotion.'

It's ridiculous on any number of levels, especially that WE HAVE TO TELL PEOPLE WHO HE WAS. They don't KNOW. Gilbert Baker's name is not a draw for our customers. It's a history lesson.

[Image description: White text against a darkened background of the red, orange, yellow, and green stripes of a pride flag, saying, "A true flag is not something you can really design. A true flag is torn from the soul of the people. A flag is something that everyone owns, and that's why they work. The Rainbow Flag is like other flags in that sense: it belongs to the people." The quote is from Gilbert Baker. End description.]

Update:

They're asking us for nearly 2x what we've made from anything using that color scheme because we referred to it using the name of the original artist.

Fellow artists, I would advise you that if you have anything using the colors of the 8-stripe flag and calling it by or in any way referencing the name of the original artist that you either a) take it down or b) rename the flag, lest they ask you for twice what you've ever made.

This may have the unfortunate effect of keeping us from ever talking about that particular Jewish artist of blessed memory, and that does seem like a strange tactic for the Gilbert Baker Foundation to take, but...

Wow. Just. Wow.

What-- and I cannot stress this enough-- the fuck.

who the hell does facebook marketplace think i am

one time a professor asked me if i’d ever wanted to write anything “more important” than romance. and i said no. i was put on this earth to write about sad people kissing. and if another writer ever came up to me and said they wanted to write 400 pages containing nothing but a character baking a single loaf of bread each day, then i would tell them to do that. people don't write something because it's important. they write about something and that is what makes it important

i cant breathe he just kept on fucking talking

my favorite youtube comment ive ever seen by far

whatever. WHATEVER.

You have something to say to the universe

Finger pain? Try this knuckle massage!

It's not something I see very often, but can offer some quick relief!

It seems to be especially helpful after a long day typing or doing office work.

For long term finger strength, we can work our grip muscles and finger extensors.

Passive hanging (any kind of bar hanging, really) and fingertip pushups are common calisthenics exercises for this.

Let me know if this helps!

oh you watched a movie I recommended????? you listened to a song I told you about ?????? you read one of my favourite books ?????? do you know that I would literally kill for you ????? let's drink each others blood
