Being kink positive makes it really hard to be a hater of media rip. I used to love watching “the WORST book I’ve read this year” booktube videos but now its like I hear them ask, “Who is this werewolf smut even for?” Omegaverse fans, next question. “Why would you write this?” Because they find it sexy, can we stop focusing on the ewie yucky kink part and focus on the fact that the author used the word knot five times in a single scene? It’s bad werewolf erotica, but it’s not bad because it’s werewolf erotica like come on

This isn't even getting into the rolling blackouts and price gouging.

As for the rolling blackouts: It'll be 100+°F outside, sometimes getting into the 110's, and that means a lot of AC running in a lot of houses. This puts a lot of strain on the power grid. This happens literally every year without fail.

So their solution? Rather than actually prepare for and urgently upgrade to accommodate the massive heat wave that happens LITERALLY EVERY YEAR, they just... turn people's power off. It'll be 113°F out, and your power will just go out, robbing you and the entire area around you of any form of heat relief. Unless you leave the area entirely or find a place that has working backup generators that they're using to power their AC, you're fucked.

Of course, this is dangerous for reasons related to heat illness, but this is also dangerous for anyone who relies on electricity for medical reasons. Whether it's someone with at-home devices that keep them alive or someone who's extremely sensitive to heat, disabled people get severely fucked over by these blackouts.

And then there's the price gouging. Access to electricity is absolutely a basic human necessity, ESPECIALLY when that electricity is the only barrier between you and temperatures that are 100+°F. And PG&E takes that basic human necessity and makes it cost hundreds of dollars a month. Price hikes are fairly common as well. A quick glance at Reddit will show you people who live in fairly average sized houses talking about receiving bills for $500+ for one month's worth of power. My family lives in a four bedroom house, and we've received bills upwards of $600. Luckily, we're in a place financially where we can weather something like that (not easily, but we can), but many people aren't.

And of course, this is all completely unchecked because apparently, if you charge $15 for a bottle of water during a natural disaster, that's price gouging, but if a power company charges $500+ for a month of AC during temperatures that stand a very good chance of incapacitating or killing you if you're exposed to them for too long, that's absolutely fine.

I also feel like I need to emphasize that PG&E is a monopoly. If you live in California, you're getting your power from PG&E, full stop. Literally everyone in California despises PG&E, a company that's literally razed a good chunk of the state, but we still have to give them hundreds of dollars every month.

Anyways, fuck PG&E

it was weird living outside california for the first time and learning that in most locations people DON'T have personal beef with their electrical utility??? massachusetts was like "eversource: it's fine? i don't really think about it." meanwhile i'm pretty sure everyone in california loathes pg&e passionately

Not to preach to the choir but I wonder if people generally realize that AI models like ChatGPT aren't, like, sifting through documented information when you ask it particular questions. If you ask it a question, it's not sifting through relevant documentation to find your answer, it is using an intensely inefficient method of guesswork that has just gone through so many repeated cycles that it usually, sometimes, can say the right thing when prompted. It is effectively a program that simulates monkeys on a typewriter at a mass scale until it finds sets of words that the user says "yes, that's right" to enough times. I feel like if it was explained in this less flattering way to investors it wouldn't be nearly as funded as it is lmao. It is objectively an extremely impressive technology given what it has managed to accomplish with such a roundabout and brain-dead method of getting there, but it's also a roundabout, brain-dead method of getting there. It is inefficient, pure and simple.

AU where Mr. D claiming to be Percy’s dad accidentally counts as Claiming according to Greek god law or whatever and now all the other gods legitimacy believe Percy is his son, but if Mr. D corrects it, he has to explain to Zeus why he pretended he was Percy’s dad so now he’s like “YEP ol’ Perry Johansson is MY child wowie just look at the little fry, you have your mother’s eyes. Please stop standing next to water or you will blow my cover”

Meanwhile Poseidon is just standing off to the side like “how on earth did I dodge THAT bullet”

hey so like does everyone know that Like A Prayer is most definitely a song about going down on someone?? like is the younger generation aware? did you guys know that Wade and Logan’s two pivotal scenes were set to a song about how blowing someone can be a religious experience?????? because this is Very Important information

[areyouscaredyet]

im not particularly religious but i think it’s very cute that Trans Day of Visibility and Easter are on the same day this year :)

its no question that something like this could be triggering or upsetting to a number of queer ppl given the current sociopolitical climate, so i want everyone to remember that u are loved! Regardless of what u or others believe, there are ppl who will love and support you always. Give yourself patience and treat yourself with care!!!

happy and peaceful TDOV everyone!! And Easter to those who celebrate :D
