this is why you should care about the reddit strike

This is a big concern for the moderators internally too. We've checked our own subs in archive.org to see what is available and will be making steps to make materials available independently of reddit. Archival organizations are working overtime on Reddit right now because they know it might fucking implode soon.

This is so important. Pass this along to your transgender, transwomen friends, family, and associates.

It can cause Serotonin syndrome, especially dangerous if on an SSRI antidepressant.

This company and twitter account is run by Patriot Front member Kevin Lowry. Gathering names for a hit list so they can SWAT you, and he's trying to kill transwomen.

Please be careful. If you bought anything from queerquirk or estrolabs, throw it out!

AITA for realizing that my best friend is actually a ghost and not telling him because i'm worried that if he realizes he's dead he'll finally be able to accept it and fully pass on and i won't be able to hang out with him anymore?

AITA if i've been dead for a while but haven't told my best friend yet because he doesn't seem to have realized i'm a ghost and if he does i'm worried that he'll finally be able to accept it and let me go and i can't bear the thought of losing him?

AITA for killing that guy

oh gee discord should I try adding numbers? should I try that???? should I try adding numbers to the end of my username so that it's individualized and only mine???? should I try adding numbers??????????

Addendum:

Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.

I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.

Addendum:

”I agree with this, except when…”

No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.

Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.

You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.

If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.

The very first performance of Riverdance, commissioned by RTÉ as an interval act during the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest. The performance led to the worldwide hit stage show and a massive revival of interest in Irish dancing.

TL;DR - just play it, okay?

Pennyworth from Born Up North - they should have got some full-sized Lambeg drums, and run them alongside oversized bodhrans, but that's just me. I mean coo er gosh wow.

But they didn't, so never mind.

@dduane​ said “Run this through the big TV’s sound system and crank the volume up”.

So I did.

Gorblimey WOW.

I don't usually do that, because when poked the soundbar sends music beyond watts into horsepower..

Also never mind sound let's look at visuals. BTW there's another grand thing about this - everyone gets named and credited. BRAVO

And OMG Jean Butler's LEGS. Rowr. : -) I thought that then, I still think it now.

ROWR.

And OMG Flatley's mullet. :-P

BTW - the volume racked up to full through headphones is A BAD IDEA. Your eardrums will meet at the bridge of your nose and you will never be troubled by earwax again.

Or possibly by hearing anything else...

Ouch.

Trust me.

WHAT?

I said TRUST ME!

WHAT did you say...?

Tiddley-tiddley-tomp-tomp-tomp-tiddley-tiddley-tomp-tomp-tomp-BWAA...

That's the way to do it. :->

I think tom bombadil and his hot wife are into some weird shit

Goldberry is definitely the top.

Grizzly 399 is so cool! I went to her Wikipedia page intending to screenshot interesting facts about her, but I would really recommend you go check out the whole thing for yourself.

Grizzly 399 lives in close proximity to humans but has never caused problems or attacked a human - she has taught her many cubs important skills like looking both ways before crossing the road. She has had more triplets than is normal for grizzlies, and is far better at keeping triplets alive than less experienced mothers.

She had 22 progeny, (though not all survived) including Grizzly 610, who in 2011 adopted one of 399’s triplets along with her own two cubs. 399 previously went viral on social media for keeping her quadruplets alive through two seasons, despite bear cubs only having a 55% survival rate.

Saw a reddit post today about a girl who was upset that her childhood best friend replaced a photo of the two of them in his wallet with one of him and his girlfriend. And while yeah, she was being unreasonable with a lot of what she was saying, I totally understand the sadness of a friend "replacing" you with someone they have romantic feelings for. Makes it worse when the top comment is this

Every single comment on this post is about how family and romantic relationships always take precedence over friendships. I don't have anything more to say to this aside from the fact that... this is why it's hard for aroaces to imagine futures for themselves. Society drills it into your head that you're going to live in a world where you are no one's priority if you don't have romantic relationships and it fucking sucks

sobbing. i love u my jewish learning ♡

[ID: Screenshot of an instagram post. The photo shows a young man dressed in traditional Orthodox Jewish clothing- a black hat, black suit and pants, and white shirt- wraps tefillin around the arms of a person draped in the rainbow pride flag. The person in the pride flag has shoulder length hair and is wearing a large white kipah, a t shirt, and shorts. They are standing outside on pavement. It's captioned "Do a mitzvah." End ID.]

EDIT: Photo is by uri cohn

This is the world I want to live in.

(Context for gentiles: the man on the left is probably a member of Chabad. Chabad is a sort-of-Orthodox-it’s-really-complicated-please-don’t-ask-me-to-elaborate Jewish organization that does outreach involving asking Jews in the wider community if they’d like the chance to complete a mitzvah; for example, at Sukkot they’ll ask if Jews walking by would like to shake the bundle of Four Species, which they might not have the chance to do at home. This probably-a-Chabad-member has identified the queer person in the photo as a Jew and offered them the chance to wrap tefillin, which is a central part of certain Jewish blessings. Basically this very traditional man has walked up to this very untraditional man and said “hey! Have you had the chance to pray today? Would you like to?” Jewish prayer mostly revolves around the saying of blessings, not around requests, so the prayers said with tefillin are basically “it’s an awesome day and I’m glad I’m living it.” There is no “this person is wrong for their flag or orientation or gender”—it’s just “this person is a fellow Jew, I will ask if they want to perform a mitzvah.”)

I was already here, but I’m taking a closer look at this image and I think there’s another important thing to add:

Especially because this is a Pride event, there is a much higher than usual greater-than-zero chance this person is either nonbinary or a trans man.

Wrapping tefillin is a male mitzvah. That’s to say, women aren’t obligated to do it, and many traditionalists say women shouldn’t do it. And it’s also considered an act of modesty for men not to touch women outside of their own family.

The probably-a-Chabad-member is wrapping tefillin (a male mitzvah), which involves touching someone he’s not related to (forbidden between sexes), on someone who may not be a cisgender man and, if he is, presents as GNC.

So in addition to everything I said above: this is a very traditional man looking at a very untraditional person-who-may-not-meet-his-own-definition-of-“man” and saying “you are a man to yourself in the eyes of G-d, therefore you’re a man to me. Have you had the chance to pray today? Would you like to?”

Another important thing that I think would add to this, add to the understanding and context: tefillin are expensive. Like, "gaming computer" expensive. They're something you generally only need to buy once in your lifetime, but that tefillin there likely cost an easy thousand bucks. So this isn't merely 'gender affirming a gnc/trans person', but also 'gender affirmation using a valuable and sacred item'.

GOD FUCKING BLESS

okay so it’s like. scum villain is an unpolished, tropey danmei novel. scum villain is a funny and incisive parody and genre deconstruction. scum villain is a fix-it fic for a story that doesn’t exist. scum villain is a comedy. scum villain is a tragedy. scum villain is about cycles of abuse, changing your fate, and taking responsibility for the things that happen in your life. it’s a romance where the main character is too dim to figure out he’s in love even when he’s literally married. it’s about guilt and forgiveness. it’s about internet culture, and making fun of bad sex scenes in webnovels, then turning around and writing an even worse sex scene yourself. it’s about toxic relationships and chances for growth. it’s about realising that the people around you are people, with more depth and humanity and complex inner lives than you might have given them credit for. scum villain is about— and i cannot stress this enough— dick jokes.
