Was rewatching Halloweentown and. God. It really did have a villain take over a town through the government who turned neighbor against neighbor, influenced young boys for the worst, and said he wanted to return monsters "to better times" in the past and hid behind progressive ideology(joining worlds to end seperation) when in reality it was a front for the fact that he was just upset that a female character rejected him for a human.

There's people who have a religion, and there's Religious People. The first type is just normal people who happen to have a foundational structure they like to have their world built upon. The latter type are the kind that make me want to lean in and say "look, I would not even want to get into the kind of Heaven that would let you in."

the only reliable, effective way of "protecting children" is education. but people don't want to hear that because they don't actually care about protecting children, they care about protecting a mythologised ideal of innocence

reblog and put in the tags the texture that is your sensory nightmare (i.e. textures you really hate. could be food, clothes, etc)

slowly becoming the designated DIY guy of my household not because of any skill or training but because im the only person with the hubris to say 'fuck it hand me a drill how hard can it be." highly reccomend it because it gives a butch thrill that cannot be matched. i understand why suburban dads are like this now. im unstoppable.

I never know how to say this without sounding condescending but when it comes to social media you can simply choose not to be around people who make you unhappy.

Some of y’all act like basic manners, general human decency, and kindness to others is SO MUCH emotional labor. I don’t like that shit.

Because I DO have sex. Doesn't make me any less ace.

*shrugs*

when you make a sex joke or even mention knowing what sex is and then SUDDENLY everyone accuses you of faking

"for an asexual u know a lot about sex" "why do you talk about sex if you don't do it" hush

i love asexuality because of its diversity in the label..... some people want sex, some dont, some can feel sexually attracted, some cant, some are sex repulsed and some arent!!!!!! its beautifully diverse and the only requirement is that it feels like the label for YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This blog supports trans cyborgs. (And, hates Nazi Barbie.)

I honestly cannot believe how far T(W)ERF rhetoric has spread on this site. They used to be the ONLY ones I saw openly mocking the concept of identifying as queer, the ONLY ones I saw referring to people as ‘kweer’ in a mocking way.

Proud fucking Luddite over here and I don't care what anyone says. I still like to use my actual brain to, y'know, brainstorm and shit.

And I'd rather pick another human's brain for inspiration and ideas than rely on the regurgitation machine that's destroying the planet and consuming all our fucking drinking water.

being anti ai is making me feel like in going insane. "you asked for thoughts about your characters backstory and i put it into chat gpt for ideas". studies have proven its making people dumber. "i asked ai to generate this meal plan". its causing water shortages where its data centers are built. "ill generate some pictures for the dnd campaign". its spreading misinformation. "meta, generate an image of this guy doing something stupid". its trained off stolen images, writing, video, audio. "i was talking with my snapchat ai-" theres no way to verify what its doing with the information it collects. "youtube is impletmenting ai based age verification". my work has an entire graphics media department and has still put ai generated motivational posters up everywhere. ai playlists. ai facial verification. google ai microsoft ai meta ai snapchat ai. everyone treats it as a novelty. every treats it as a mandatory part of life. am i the only one who sees it? am i paranoid? am i going insane? jesus fucking christ. if i have to hear one more "well at least-" "but it does-" "but you can-" im about to lose it. i shouldnt have to jump through hoops to avoid the evil machine. have you no principles? no goddamn spine? am i the weird one here?

The script to oppose KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) is now officially on https://5calls.org/. Call if you wanna kill KOSA again! It's a must if you don't want age verification in the US!
