you gotta be as gay as possible on the computer otherwise alan turing died for nothing
dont cry ok? there is the sun and there isthe ocean and there are butch gay women
there was a reddit thread that asked when people realized they were dating an idiot and i was like “oh this is gonna be ‘i hate my spouse humor’” or people ragging on others unfairly but uh
i’m going to die?
I just want to touch on something I don’t hear talked about much anywhere, and it’s heavy so brace yourself.
When I was younger, I was in the american foster care system, I never knew or found my biological family until I was 16. Let me tell you something: being black, disabled and lgbt growing up in the system is fucking hell.
When I was taken into foster care, the police forcibly came and took me out of my adopted parents house. They targeted us because we were a black family. They actually treated me and accepted my identity and sexuality and taught me to embrace it.
I have CPTSD from my time in foster care and when I see the police, I have a full stop anxiety attack no matter where I am. But let me tell you something
My story is not isolated but the world remains quiet. The world continues to let children, especially black and Indigenous children suffer. We are separated from our homes and families, and lies are woven by ‘child protection’ workers.
Who exactly are they protecting? Not me, not other black children, not other Indigenous children, not other lgbt children. That is one thing they have made clear.
So if you’ve been through this hell, I want to tell you your strength is like no other. It’s not fair we had to be strong, but we are as a result of our experiences. We definitely have the right to feel weak and let down our guards so remember that.
I want to remind you that even though you may have been told you’re not important as a child or felt that way, you very much were and are.
I love you. Keep fighting. Here’s your positivity post and your recognition <3
Your reaction to chatGPT instantly lets me know how easy it would be to trick you into thinking that you are haunted
"omg it's literally alive!" Two beers, 45 minutes, deck of tarot cards, and I'm charging you 350$ for an exorcism.
"I read an article that it's showing simple self-awareness" two days, mild preparation, hot and cold reading, I can get 60$ for joints laced with sacred sage
"I just spoke to an AI and I'm... rattled to say the least, come with me on this dark journey" twenty minutes. I've got to science it up for you, but I can get you to come back every week to "disentangle the psychological imprint" for 125$
Non autistic actors playing autistic characters suck as depictions of autism because they are playing an autistic character, rather than autistic character who is masking as a neurotypical
in the same way when trying to act drunk for a play, you would want to act like your trying to be sober, because effort into acting sober is what drunk people are doing
in that same way when playing an autistic character there is a whole second level of who is this character masking themself to be
I have the same opinion of legal names as I do of gender markers on ID, as being colonial mischief that doesn't allow for growth and change and agency and if I had my way they'd be abolished entirely and people could change their names whenever and however they like.
This was inspired by the story of a Squamish and Blackfoot family being unable to register their baby's Squamish language name as a legal name, and a dear prudence column I read about someone who was deeply embarrassed by the name her parents gave her which had a slur in it and rhymed (she said it was similar conceptually to "g+psy pixie") and going thru the legal hoops to change it, and trans day of visibility, and a few trans friends who are in their late twenties to early thirties now doing a second legal name change because they gave themselves fandom names when they first came out and outgrew the names. All different situations where the concept of a legal name is interfering with growth and change and connection to culture.
i'm curious
you can check which movie it was here!
pls reblog and put in the tags which movie it was :)

stingray blast

No gay has all 5:

intersex animals r not nonbinary animals they r intersex animals hhow many times do wwe have to do rhis
i dont know how to explain to you that referring to any living creature wwirh mixed sex characteristics as “true nonbinary” is harmful to bboth intersex ppl and nonbinary ppl
people say "gender is a social construct" and then claim intersex animals are obviously nonbinary. you just put "gender is what's in your pants" in a new font.
old people really need to learn how to text accurately to the mood they’re trying to represent like my boss texted me wondering when my semester is over so she can start scheduling me more hours and i was like my finals are done the 15th! And she texts back “Yay for you….” how the fuck am i supposed to interpret that besides passive aggressive
Someone needs to do a linguistic study on people over 50 and how they use the ellipsis. It’s FASCINATING. I never know the mood they’re trying to convey.
I actually thought for a long time that texting just made my mother cranky. But then I watched my sister send her a funny text, and my mother was laughing her ass off. But her actual texted response?
“Ha… right.”
Like, she had actual goddamn tears in her eyes, and that was what she considered an appropriate reply to the joke.I just marvelled for a minute like ‘what the actual hell?’ and eventually asked my mom a few questions. I didn’t want to make her feel defensive or self-conscious or anything, it just kind of blew my mind, and I wanted to know what she was thinking.
Turns out that she’s using the ellipsis the same way I would use a dash, and also to create ‘more space between words’ because it ‘just looks better to her’. Also, that I tend to perceive an ellipsis as an innate ‘downswing’, sort of like the opposite of the upswing you get when you ask a question, but she doesn’t. And that she never uses exclamation marks, because all her teachers basically drilled it into her that exclamation marks were horrible things that made you sound stupid and/or aggressive.
So whereas I might sent a response that looked something like:
“Yay! That sounds great - where are we meeting?”
My mother, whilst meaning the exact same thing, would go:
‘Yay. That sounds great… where are we meeting?”
And when I look at both of those texts, mine reads like ‘happy/approval’ to my eye, whereas my mother’s looks flat. Positive phrasing delivered in a completely flat tone of voice is almost always sarcastic when spoken aloud, so written down, it looks sarcastic or passive-aggressive.
On the reverse, my mother thinks my texts look, in her words, ‘ditzy’ and ‘loud’. She actually expressed confusion, because she knows I write and she thinks that I write well when I’m constructing prose, and she, apparently, could never understand why I ‘wrote like an airhead who never learned proper English’ in all my texts. It led to an interesting discussion on conversational text. Texting and text-based chatting are, relatively, still pretty new, and my mother’s generation by and large didn’t grow up writing things down in real-time conversations. The closest equivalent would be passing notes in class, and that almost never went on for as long as a text conversation might. But letters had been largely supplanted by telephones at that point, so ‘conversational writing’ was not a thing she had to master.
So whereas people around my age or younger tend to text like we’re scripting our own dialogue and need to convey the right intonations, my mom writes her texts like she’s expecting her Eighth grade English teacher to come and mark them in red pen. She has learned that proper punctuation and mistakes are more acceptable, but when she considers putting effort into how she’s writing, it’s always the lines of making it more formal or technically correct, and not along the lines of ‘how would this sound if you said it out loud?’
the linguistics of written languages in quick conversational format will never not be interesting to me like it’s fascinating how we’ve all just silently learned what an ellipsis or exclamation mark implies and it’s totally different in different communities or generations or whatever
We had a running joke about how many times our grad PI’s emails scared us because they were uncharacteristically terse. (You’d get like “We need to talk about your paper.” and then the actual talk would be “It’s great!”)
And he heard us talking one day and started adding smiley emojis to his emails, and honestly it really helped
Can we also have a support group for all of the people who’ve had to do the “Please do not send me a text that says ‘call me.’ unless someone is dead. If no one is dead, you need to delete the period and add a lighthearted emoji” workshop with their boomer parents? Because I know about 10 people who’ve had that exact conversation.
Texts from my mom look like this now:
Call me! 👻
call me 🥑 🥭
Call me. (No one’s dead I just want to talk.)
CALL ME! 🎏🐹🌴💅🏼🎷🌺👒
Book rec if you are interested in this kind of language stuff: Gretchen McCullough’s book BECAUSE INTERNET. It goes into these topics in detail along with a bunch of others and is really fascinating.
Thank fuck for Tumblr and my 21yo friend who keep me from sounding like the old lady I am.
Ngl this post managed to prepare me for my current boss’s emails. If I hadn’t known about the ellipse thing I’d have a much worse idea of how she sees me.
