The belief that there is a marked difference between men, women, and people of other genders who are usually just forgotten. People are people. People do people things for their own reasons. If you're using gender as an excuse for bad behaviour, you suck and you know you do. Get good.

Seeing people using diet culture lingo when talking about brain chemistry.
Trying to “control” your dopamine to “manage a social media addiction” isn’t based in science. It’s religious bs that views mental illness and neurodiversity moral failing.
This is how you fall down the pipeline, guys.

Throughout history, people have pitted town & country against each other. Where does this dynamic come from? And how do we transcend it?

Facial prosthesis, c.1917. THREAD for #RemembranceSunday🧵
From the moment the first machine gun rang out over the Western Front, one thing was clear: mankind’s military technology had wildly surpassed its medical capabilities. Bodies were battered, gouged, hacked, and gassed. /1

The 30 Rock episode with “how do you do, fellow kids?” is closer to the release of Windows 98 than it is to today.
I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

When this shit happens you have to assert your agency; esp in something like a pageant. They need you; and yet treat you as an object.

Any good RPGs (in eitjer the video game or tabletop sense of the term RPG) that take place in the Three Kingdoms Period, or the Han, Tang, Yuan Dynasty, or Ming Dynasties of China, and most critically for video game answers, are RPGs with character creation/customization/freedom?

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson.
I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.
