Sorry to the people I follow on here who are normal... uh... well, who are not in fandom, anyway.
I'm just a bit too ADHD to manage multiple accounts, let's be honest, but am also interested in whatever non-fandom thing I followed you for. Let's all just pretend I'm not here 😂

I'm not really worried about running out of ideas as a writer because all it takes is standing there, grating some cheese, and suddenly, boom, I stand there frozen by a whole new idea unfolding before my eyes like a supernova from a dying star

Increasingly furious whenever a corporation uses the “it’s just the price of an extra cup of coffee~ you won’t be sacrificing much~” line.
I just KNOW they mean barista coffee at some cafe somewhere. I just know they don’t mean the ¢ my shitty instant decaf costs me daily. I wanna punch someone.

Great thread on why the Nordic model of sex work is an abject failure and the only approach that has ever actually improved sex worker safety is full decriminalization
Looks like the push for the failed nordic model is in full swing in #germany, with this from DW's Berlin in English newsletter.
The nordic model has never worked, and does not actually make anyone safer. It increases marginalisation & stigmatisation of sex workers, and disincentivizes safety.

Realizing the "we poisoned you all with lead for decades" generation was immediately followed by "we fucked up teaching you how to read, now you're bad at it and hate it" generation to be followed by "Mandatory AI will fry your cognition" generation. Well, shit.

How a flawed idea is teaching millions of kids to be poor readers
For decades, schools have taught children the strategies of struggling readers, using a theory about reading that cognitive scientists have repeatedly debunked. And many teachers and parents don't kno...

Like, yeah, yeah, you have your Groundwork of the Metaphysics for Morals and What Do We Owe Each Other and Man's Search for Meaning but in the end there's still no greater philosophical analysis of the plight of humanity than this.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Religious trauma is so funny. All kinds of things will trigger it and/or otherwise get my goat, but apparently this does not include a frail little old man wandering around a pathology waiting room and quietly blessing everyone with the sign of the cross. Nice that he cares, I guess?

Your regular reminder that the number of trans kids using puberty blockers to delay puberty is tiny, and the vast majority of prescriptions for the medication in children and adolescents are used to delay precocious puberty in cisgender kids.
Because it’s cis kids.
The NHS will quite casually give cis kids whatever treatment they need, even PBs👇
No trials. No concerns about side effects. No moral panic.
