Very weird how there’s been multiple people called out for being extremely transphobic towards trans men (misgendering, sending death threats, sending rape threats, accusing them of fetishizing gay men, etc.) and they just start posting shit like “oh but misandry isn’t real. Are people not allowed to hate their oppressors anymore?” and people on this website will just go “oh yep okay” and just completely ignore the fact the original reason they were called out is because they were transphobic

That is an angel

why did no one tell me quantum computers looked like that

I mean, the actual 12 step program amounts to "idk just pray about it? then relapse if you want but it's your fault when you do," so,

whatever you're doing it's probably at least as effective as that

is there a 12 step solution to a phone addiction.. how can you apply something thats meant to keep you OFF the stuff to something that you still need to use in your day to day life.

It is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day

And I have some big feelings, as a part of the diaspora. Remembrance Day is an inappropriate title for a time in which Armenians still face genocidal forces. Just last year, Azerbaijan, armed by Turkey, ethnically cleansed over 280,000 Armenians from Artsakh. The illegal colonizer state of Israel, currently in the midst of their 6+ month-long genocide against the Palestinians, has placed the Armenians who call Jerusalem home under threat and siege.

The Armenian struggle and the Palestinian struggle are deeply linked.

In his rise to power, Hitler is quoted to justify his actions against the Jewish, Roma, Queer, Disabled, and other victims of the Holocaust, to say "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Echoing these chilling words, Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish wrote:

Who Remembers the Armenians? I remember them and I ride the nightmare bus with them each night and my coffee, this morning I'm drinking it with them You, murderer - Who remembers you?

The trauma sustained during a genocide is not limited to the people experiencing it right now. The echoes of that trauma leak forward into the next generations, passed down through survival, and that is so insidious. My grandmother got to live, but did so believing that her parents did not love her, because the trauma they endured prevented them from expressing it. Abuse and unhealthy attachment were passed down because that starving hunger for love and acceptance was passed down. It is so deeply cruel and unfair that our oppressors get to reach through time and hurt our children's children.

We need to band together and stop the present-day abusers, the genocidal monsters that oppress the people of Palestine, Armenia, Congo, and so many others.

We need to uplift art made by those who survived, and by those who are surviving. Art is always targeted by the oppressor to erase cultural identity, to destroy legacy, and to break spirits. Support Palestinian and Armenian poets, and artists, and writers.

If you are one of the many who never learned about the Armenian Genocide, learn today. Ask yourself why people worked so hard not to educate you on this piece of history.

Except for the biohazard, this seems pretty standard?

Like, most chemistry labs will probably have something with a 4 rating in each category in them, will definitely have something corrosive, & might have some gas cylinders. Don't eat or drink & keep yourself covered -- those are pretty common rules. It doesn't even ask for, like, a lab coat or goggles or anything. Nothing in there is water reactive, either.

So, like, take a small-to-mid sized chem lab, & add a little fridge with some blood bags in the corner. And you'd have to put up that exact warning sign.

Yes, respect the warnings, be serious, & be careful, but I think people overestimate how scary these kinds of signs really are

Scariest sign ive ever been close enough to photograph. Do you like it?

you know I do

Wild ass take & I'm obsessed with the implications of this

Like, how "exciting" & "cool" names sound is entirely dependent on culture & time period, & the reason a lot of biblical names (Joseph, Eve, Paul, etc) sound basic is because christianity was somewhat popular in the English speaking world for a hot second there, so a lot of children got named after bible characters

BUT this reblog implies that the authors of the bible knew these would eventually become normal names (in the English-speaking world, which was clearly always their primary audience, hence why it was written in Hebrew) & thus chose them for... relatability (?)

And, on the flipside, they knew that 2000 years later Lazarus wouldn't be a common name in the English-speaking world, so would sound interesting, & that the z in there would make it sound extra cool because few words contain zs in English (again, obviously the language they were considering the most at the time; quite impressive I might add, considering even Old English wasn't a thing until 500 years later). And so they chose a cool (in English) name like Lazarus so that... comics writers... could have a cool name... for resurrection technology? For like branding purposes?

For this to make anything even approximating some sort of sense, we'd have to assume the authors of the bible actually were divinely inspired by an omniscient being. That or you think the bible was written, like, 50 years ago, tops

"lazarus" is such a great name for a guy who's famous for being raised from the dead. you can reference a name like that in your resurrection plot devices and it feels appropriate. that never would have been possible if he'd been called joseph or peter or craig or something.

Things that work in fiction but not real life

torture getting reliable information out of people

knocking someone out to harmlessly incapacitate them for like an hour

jumping into water from staggering heights and surviving the fall completely intact

calling the police to deescalate a situation

rafting your way off a desert island

correctly profiling total strangers based on vibes

effectively operating every computer by typing and nothing else

ripping an IV out of your arm without consequences

heterosexual cowboy

Intersex people

Gender non-conforming people

People who identify with the term sapphic, but not lesbian or bisexual

People who don't identify as cis or trans

So yes. It's more inclusive.

Everything is like “QUEER history” and “List of QUEER young adult books” or “Top 10 QUEER movies” and queer this and queer that and for the love of god please just say LGBT.

"Academics can't do their job because of the consequences of Israel's actions!"

Wow, sounds like they have a pretty good incentive to protest against Isreal now, huh?

what an artful form of apartheid apologia. people are lapping this shit up in the notes. Even if we set aside the titanic amount of weaponry and equipment created and built by engineers and chemists, all the mapping software that guides missiles and drones and planes created by computer scientists and geographers for a second (science that the state is very much interested in!), zionist apartheid policy, administrative policies, planning and logistics, urban planning documents, you name it - that all apparently just popped into existence one day. for someone claiming to be concerned about social science academics you sure are dismissing all of their hard work! but if you just frame every academic in Israel as a poor little individual victim being randomly attacked for no reason then it’s easy to hide what’s actually going on, which is academics as a group experiencing the harsh end of a boycott. they are being targeted specifically because they are an intellectual class of a colonial state whose genocide is being live-streamed to the world, but if you obfuscate the academy’s role in training, educating, and providing intellectual architecture for the bureaucratic class and institutions that make up state governments, then you can frame a principled pro-Palestinian position (boycotting Israel) as misguided, stupid, overzealous, ineffectual, and most importantly, detrimental to the cause of freeing Palestine, all of which is of course so obvious to everyone but Palestinian activists. this is naked concern-trolling for the zionist project of annihilating Palestine and it is no less disgusting than any other zionist cheering on the mass murder of children
