25. He/him

been stuck with a terrible feeling that one of the episodes in the new black mirror season is gonna end with a title card like "the program you just watched was written by artificial intelligence" and they're going to be so smug about it and we'll all have to talk about it for weeks

oh hey apollo

lol

hey. to the fat person reading this who wants to transition or is transitioning. make your transition goals fat like you. please. the things you aim to gain from transition can be gained while fat. you can be/express your gender and be fat. there is nothing wrong with that, no matter what anyone says. i promise.

let yourself exist. let yourself be happy. you have just as much of a right as every other person in this world to do that, especially as you transition. it's okay. you're going to be alright, and you're also going to look fucking awesome. you already look fucking awesome. it's your body. own it.

i love how the line on the girl's ass stops where it's covered by her bag, like hello brainpoison regressing you past baby-level object permanence

Obviously horrible but also love the idea of someone going around being like: “every day I see men with luscious ass-cheeks, just, serious cake. And their eyes....so soft...soulful. Pretty. Anyway this is the libs fault for the men and their....their pretty eyes...”

important question. do you think the minotaur had a soft wet nose. do you think he mooed when he snored. do you think when theseus turned a sword on him he looked up at his executioner with the same dark, beautiful eyes that earned hera the epithet Βοῶπις

Hot take: The much quieter level of corporate Pride this year is not worth celebrating.

Not because I want to spend my dollars on Pride merch sold by corporations that don’t care, but because the near-absence of corpo Pride is a canary in the coal mine. Corpo Pride is a barometer of sorts for social acceptance of the LGBTQ+ community. If Corpo Pride goes away, it should be because being LGBTQ+ is so normalized and seen as “no big deal” that there’s no message to ‘sell’ anymore; but what’s happening now is NOT that.

What IS happening then? Because I'm confused

What is happening is not that corporations are winding down the Pride displays and merch due to Pride being no big deal anymore because we live in a society where LGBTQ+ people are just seen as the same as everybody else.

What is happening is corporations are staying away from Pride because public shows of acceptance of LGBTQ+ people now comes at a much higher cost. For corporations, that cost is monetary. For people, that cost is physical violence - and I'm not saying it's new that people have been violent towards the LGBTQ+ community. I'm saying the violence is now much more widespread, and isn't just aimed at the community anymore, but at anybody who either supports the community or LOOKS LIKE they might belong to the community. Corporations deciding not to display rainbow logos and merch is just a sign of how bad things have actually gotten in the last few years.

TL;DR : Corporations "supported" us when it was easy. That many no longer visibly do so means it's no longer easy to do it. That's not a good thing.

There is norest of the Mona Lisa’ - it doesn’t exist.

Tech bros fundamentally don’t understand art, and it’s why all AI art looks ugly as sin.

The mona lisa was actually a landscape painting but this random woman decided to just like sit there and block the view and da Vinci just rolled with it

His name is David James Cleary

He fired at least 13 shots, including one through the head of a man holding a white flag

Avatar

One of those shots was into the lower back of one Patrick Doherty. While he was already injured, and on the ground crawling away from L.Cpl Cleary.

The man he was shot in the head was Barney McGuigan. Who stepped over Doherty, waving a white flag, in an attempt to help the man.

In response to this, L.Cpl Cleary dropped to one knee, took aim, and shot Barney McGuigan directly in the head.

Cleary was not just an indiscriminate killer shooting at random. Descriptions of the day tend towards cold and mechanical adjectives.

Joining him that day to perpetuate the the Bloody Sunday Massacre were also:

Soldier N: Liuetenant John S. MacPhie

Soldier O: Sergeant Adrew Robb Welsh

Soldier E: Corporal Terry Hood

Soldier G: Private Alan Cook

Soldier H: Private K. Gallop

Soldier L: Private Lee

Soldier Q: Private Blakely

Soldier T: Private Ian McKay

for those unaware that England had been an occupying colonial force in Ireland, some background:

January 30, 1972, became known as Bloody Sunday when British soldiers opened fire on a peaceful protest in Derry, Northern Ireland, killing 14 people.

here's a good narrative of the events of that day:

(why am I not surprised Tumblr won't auto-link that)

this led to an amped-up resistance movement against the occupiers, and open guerrilla war against the Brits

Americans will measure in anything except the metric system

So apparently this is just this guy's thing

Average american unwilling to measure using metric system factoid actually a statistical error. Measurements Georg who refuses to use metric system on 10,000 posts a month is an outlier and should not have been counted.
