fresh, clean no-terf version for reblogs!

Your mom and aunts aren’t on tumblr.  Please warn them about this as well.

a lot of media assumes robots would be immortal but i think its a lot more interesting to explore robots dealing with their parts wearing down and battery life shortening and all the horrible little failings that come with being a complicated machine. sure they can replace parts but you'd assume you cant completely ship of theseus them, or it'd have pretty big rammifications on their sense of identity. idk. give me robots with distinct, unique signs of aging. as a treat.

being polish is opening tumblr and being like oh shit i forgot mother/father's day and then realising no i still have like a week no worries

I also think that a lot of mentally ill people who are struggling to access psychiatric "care" have this idea that a psych ward is a place where you actually get proper help, and thus their "I need to go to the psych ward lol" posting is less about wanting to poke fun at people with trauma from psychiatric institutionalization and more about imagining the psych ward and the psychiatric system to be something it isn't and not knowing what receiving that kind of psychiatric "care" is actually like in practice. A lot of mentally ill people with limited access to the psychiatric system seem to think that if only they could access the system properly that would be the solution to all their mental health struggles, and thus joking about psych wards and needing to be medicated is less about deliberately being an ableist asshole and more about having expectations to psychiatric care that won't be met if they actually do get hospitalized

i didnt know you were allowed to do things for the sake of wanting to do things. i thought you were just supposed to keep that locked inside your ribcage and let it rot you inside out until youre limping around as the desiccated corpse of who you could have been

women’s bodies weren’t “made” to do anything, nature didn’t “intend” anything, no human action is “unnatural” and there is no inherent “purpose” to a human life

Happy pride month specifically to folks on the asexual and aromantic spectrum who oftentimes feel isolated and left out of the conversation. You belong here as much as the rest of us and I hope that you are all loved in a way that is comforting to you.

hi *without intention or ability to start a conversation*

[ilokilok]

Happy Pride Month. Here's some aphobia I've experienced as an aroace person with autism:

Being told that I am aroace because I am afraid of intimacy.

People not accepting that I am aroace and thinking that I have a crush on them.

People speculating on who I am "crushing" on despite them knowing I am aroace and generally uninterested in romance.

Being infantilized for having autism and being aroace.

Being told that I am a stereotype for having autism and being aroace.

Being told that I am not allowed to say that there is a connection between my autism and being aroace.

People constantly making theories about my sexuality and coming up with "reasons" for why I am aroace, even though they wouldn't do that for a straight person.

Being stalked and harassed by two different people on campus in one year 👍 This isn't related to being aroace, but it feels especially invasive when you are.

hi everybody please reblog this and tell me your go-to coffee order right now and if you don't like coffee feel free to include your go-to tea order instead

I've been sick so I've been allowing myself to sleep more, falling asleep at like 8pm. Then no issues waking up at 6:30am. Last night I went to sleep at my usual 11pm, and had trouble waking up after 7am... Do I seriously need 10h of sleep to feel rested

Also my experience is just so bizarre and polarised.

I work in a corporate IT job right, and people there LOVE genAI. It's so promoted as universally amazing, sure you have some safety considerations but basically this is as far as the criticism there goes.

Then I log into the internet spaces I am part of and people here HATE genAI. It's portrayed as evil, environmentally disastrous, mind-numbing and a million other wrong things, and there is very little acknowledgement of the positives.

Basically I see such extreme ends of the spectrum and not a lot of nuance in my day to day life.

I've seen many good reasons to hate genAI. I've also seen many good reasons to like genAI. Perhaps the issue is not so black and white.
