the "pixel art" you just reblogged is all genAI. which, you might know that, in which case carry on, but if you don't, now you do!

why Humansville, Missouri? Other than the funny name, if anything

Humansville has been a running joke in that group ever since I shared my spreadsheet of all the towns in Missouri (Humansville was listed under Death Traps), so when a player joked that our first monster (we're playing monster of the week) would be in Humansville, I immediately made that the canon location since I was already gonna be using a random rural town in Missouri anyway. Then we spent 10 minutes looking at a map of Humansville and making up shit about its various features. I learned they got a Human Street. You can live on Human Street in Humansville.

it is my hope and dream that everyone on tumblr can go outside and visit a gay bar or go to a queer event and see that our community is very beautiful and very diverse and that half the internet discourse isn’t real

hearing about CEOs getting million dollar bonuses knowing my elderly coworker is having to save up $60 to get her daughter the gift she wants when she works full time makes me want to start killing rich people with my bare hands. like i'm sorry I can't sit around and act like this should be normal just because it is. the way corporations are run is fundamentally terrible. it's not even just wages, like the entire fucking thing is built to create as much suffering as possible, shareholders and all

Losing my mind over this

a post-doc was doing a guest seminar at my institute and at the beginning of his presentation he was explaining why he chose birds for his evolutionary analysis - so he said "well first of all, because birds are the best and most interesting animals and it's fun to study them" and a few professors in the room gave him a very serious nod

Since the r-slur is making a comeback (you know, the word that starts with R, has six letters, and ends in D), I'm gonna make a little PSA:

Yes, it's an ableist slur.

Terms like "asshat," "head-up-ass," "up their own ass," and "high on their own farts" exist. There's also words like crap, dogshit, half-assed, assclown, and chucklefuck. And on the less vulgar side, there are terms like ridiculous, nonsense, train wreck, pointless, insipid, self-absorbed, pretentious, annoying, boring, contemptible, vile, and disgusting.

Substituting words like restarted, poptarted, brain damaged, smoothbrain, etc. is still ableist, because either 1. you obviously still mean the r-word, or 2. you're still using disability as an insult.

recent comm!

i just feel like “what if the trauma we go through is usually not noble but purposeless and terrible and the things we develop to keep us alive often change us for the worse” is one of the most important realizations you can come to in terms of like. empathizing with your fellow man and yet whenever that theme shows up in fiction so many people are immediately like its either PERFECT VICTIM OR IRREDEEMABLY EVIL. open the door and walk out of the dichotomy
