Y'ALL THIS IS THE COOLEST FANFIC I'VE EVER SEEN.

It is a complete narrative about SecUnits on a Planetary Survey trying to communicate and keep their clients safe while dealing with the restrictions of their govmod.

IT IS ALSO A FULLY INTERACTIVE GAME OF MINESWEEPER.

The story is told BY PLAYING MINESWEEPER.

This fic is criminally underrated go look at it!!!

i feel so bad for black panther party. imagine being the only truly revolutionary vanguard (in communist sense) organization usa ever had to end up destroyed by fbi with multiple members still in jail to this day and then the empire you were fighting against made an utterly reactionary marvel movie named after you with your ideas of black nationalism/liberation and pan africanism flipped upside down to resemble something more like zionism. so now modern people associate black panther with that movie instead of you. and also the biggest black capitalist popstar in the world performed at the country's main jingoistic event appropriating your imagery for the good of empire.

it’s always bizarre to me when people seem shocked/surprised that transmascs earn more than transfems. like have you not observed the world around you that would necessitate that to be the case. all those transfems i guess just do survival sex work for fun. like hmmmm i wonder if the fact that masculinity, male presentation & male identity are considered more rational & logical than femininity, female presentation & female identity has an impact on the way the work environment looks for trans people….

the idea that society is just magically a free-for-all for trans people “because we’re all faggots in the eyes of the state” is inherently nonsensical even if it were true (which it isn’t!) like guess what society would still treat all those faggots differently based on our respective race, class, and YES, gender & gender presentation!

women are on average paid less than the men of equivalent demographic. i don’t understand why all your feminism seeps out your brain as soon as it comes to accepting trans women face greater scrutiny & mistreatment in society than trans men

speaking of peeing the bed it's been long enough that i can tell this story publicly. in high school i went to a party at some house with no adults, as you sometimes would, and at the end of the night like 10 people all clonked out together in the same bed. fully clothed, one of those teenage moments where you're like wow heehee how rule-breaking, because sure a lot of our parents wouldn't like us sleeping in a bed with a bunch of other teenagers and no adult supervision blah blah. fond memories. anyway.

i'm an extremely light sleeper, so i barely slept, and sometime around 6 am, i woke up to a girl totally panicking, very quietly, because she peed the bed in her sleep. and listen. this wasn't a group of mean kids by any measure. but there's no level of kindness or understanding in the world that will make peeing the bed when you're 17, surrounded by people you only sort of know, a gentle blow.

so i sat up and she was like "oh my god" and I signaled at her to be absolutely silent and I said I'd be right back. And I crawled over everyone and out of the bed like a stupid cat.

and the thing is, by senior year i wasn't getting bullied much anymore. i was generally pretty well liked by my peers, but, if this makes sense, people still didn't always expect very much from me. i was still figuring out how to mask (autistic) and i still often said or did something that made everyone remember i'm weird and they'd just be like "well. that's story for you. i guess." and for the most part i'd become pretty secure in that.

so what i'm saying is i had nothing to lose and this girl had everything to lose.

so i went downstairs and i made tomato soup. and by "made" i mean i put a whole can of tomato soup in a too-small mug and microwaved it until it was lukewarm so as to be convincingly "made" but not so hot to burn someone.

and then i walked back upstairs, and no longer like a cat, i clumsily "attempted" to crawl back into bed, loudly lost my balance, and spilled tomato soup all over the girl and her lap and several other people's laps and heads and the mattress.

everyone woke up confused and anguished and i was like, "oh my god, I'm so sorry. I just got really hungry and it's all i could find."

and everyone immediately accepted with absolutely no further questions that I would go downstairs, make tomato soup at 6 am,and bring it back to bed. everyone just begrudgingly climbed onto the floor and went back to sleep while I put the bedding right into the laundry.

i don't even know this girl's name. i only remembered this story recently because i'm in my hometown for a few months and recently a high school acquaintance said, "hey. do you remember spilling soup on everyone after prom? why did you do that?" and for a moment i genuinely did not and i stared at them completely dumbfounded while the memory loaded and then i started laughing too hard to answer for 2 minutes.

the best part is i can tell this story, and even if it reaches the people who were there, none of them will know which one of them peed the bed. thanks to tomato soup.

Hey Tumblr, settle a marital dispute for us.

The other day I asked @mothman-etd what he was drinking and he replied, "chocolate milk" to which I replied, "oh, did you buy some?"

He informed me that no, he had not, and confusedly asked, "so how did you get chocolate milk?"

He informed me he just used the powder that we had there, and I said "oh, you mixed the cocoa into cold milk?"

He looked at me like I was weird and said no, he'd warmed it up first.

To which I blinked and said. "So you made hot chocolate."

And he said, "Yeah, chocolate milk."

We had a bit of a back and forth over this, because to me, chocolate milk has connotations of drinking cold milk. I would never tell someone I was drinking chocolate milk if what I was in fact drinking, was a hot beverage.

His response was a very level, "but it's milk."

I let it go after that because whatever. Except he just got out of bed and said he was going to get a chocolate milk and I again asked him, "Oh, did you buy some this time?" and it's started the whole debate all over again.

it is honestly amazing how much of writing and editing is just. logistics. like... do i use a name here or a pronoun? if i move this dialogue tag to the middle of this line and break it in half, does the end of the line hit harder that way? what if i move the tag to the front? what if i remove it entirely? ...wait, whose point of view am i in; can i reasonably say this character is appalled, or must i say they look or seem or sound appalled? is this a deliberate action or a step-removed one; is her hand closing on his shoulder, or is she closing her hand on his shoulder? environment environment environment, we need to break all this dialogue up with some narration, the scene is coming untethered. what! are! they doing! with! the rest of their bodies that are not hands! fuck fuck fuck FUCK i forgot we covered this two chapters ago and now i either need to cut this whole chunk or find a reason to reprise the conversation from earlier. name or pronoun? name or pronoun? name or pronoun? move this clause around in this sentence? oh i'll add this phrase-- nope, never mind, past!me added the same phrase two lines down. okay, if i add too much environmental narration it's going to take away from this bit, but not enough and it won't feel grounded. what if i move this to its own line? where the FUCK are their hands?

Again: you were warned. Harris warned you. Every single Democrat warned you. You decided to laugh off Project 2025 as “liberal hysteria” because, for some idiotic, selfish reason or another, you decided that sitting on your ass every single election and lying about Democrats to justify that was more important than anything else. This is the choice you made, these are the consequences of your actions, and no amount of screaming at liberals online will change that. You know Harris wouldn’t have done this and you’re scrambling to save face because, again, nothing matters more to you than your ego and owning the libs—just like Republicans. People will blame you forever and there’s nothing you can do about that.
