Demiurge? Yeah, I don’t really feel attraction until I get to know the other person either

It is vitally, vitally important that people pick up little maintenance skills - a little bit of sewing to patch clothes, basic computer skills to unfuck config issues, the ability to change your car's oil.

Or! Lean on friends with those skills and offer your own skills back when needed.

Idk what to even do on here if I can’t post screenshots from the ebook im reading or the game im playing. Think of jokes ig?

Economics can either enable the slide toward fascism, or defend affordability, dignity, and democracy.

I wrote ANTI-FASCIST ECONOMICS with my baby by my side—a constant reminder that the future should be livable for all.

Getting really into vocal trance because i like when music sucks

Imagining a 40 year le-wrong-generation guy. He was born in 1986 and desperately wishes he got to see Live Aid as it aired.

Are there still le-wrong-generation guys out there? Teenagers complaining that they hate Playboi Carti and Sabrina Carpenter and Morgan Wallen and only like Queen and Nirvana?

I will never post them online or send them to anyone but I keep a few photos from my twink era on my phone purely to jumpscare my friends with them every now and again

Was not trying to insult RCBG, my bad if it came off that way lol. Haven’t read it but I fw Talia’s other writing. And yeah scrolling up yr right it’s about Dorley and I just didn’t read. Whoops!

Wait fuck this is just HSTS/AGP again. Fuck. Goddamnit. This can’t keep happening

The idea that anyone becomes trans to have *more* sex is so funny to me. This might just be another “used-to-be-a-gay-man vs used-to-be-a-straight-guy” thing but I got around so much more pre-transition lol

Transmaxxing is an incel thing where you become trans to get laid. It’s a joke, nobody actually does it. 80% sure the post is about Ranked Competitive Breast Growth (i haven’t read it but AFAIK it’s a very meme-y short story series a few trans women on here are writing that’s about that idea).

We call it "get worse", but so much of that is literally just "have an ego" or "do something really depraved and taboo" and honestly we need more of that in the world. More queer traumatized folks need an ego. More of us need to let go and do something we've been afraid to do. That's what we do here

Waow…

Sosuke from Of The Devil saying he’s a modern man who knows about makeup. He’s got long hair tied back and a perfectly smooth face and insanely cvnty jawline

Why did they have to make him look like every 4th trans woman I see at a house party. We gotta save her

Morgan: people like adds, Serra, the same way people like their pets. No one wants to see then mistreated or abandoned or abused, and if you go around kicking them you’ll get arrested for cruelty —

But you don’t let them sit at the goddamn dinner table.

The whole angle this game takes on androids is so good. I love how patronizing everyone is towards them. This little bit + the convo with Helen at the end of act 1 gets the point across quite well

If u don’t play in high roller mode you’re missing out btw. Ideally with auto scroll text on. Forces you to fully pay attention at all times and lock tf in during the trials, it rocks

“mentir” and “mentar” having some conjugations that are homonyms is going to cause me to make an embarrassing mistake in Spanish one day. I can feel it

Thinking about how fandom’s obsession with nailing down “canon” by seeking out contradictions then resolving them with logic is sort of a secular form of the Tosaphist method of scholarship. You’re doing Talmud study on video games. The nerds yearn for the Mishnah.

Torah Queeries A modernized, queer reading of the Torah. In the Jewish tradition, reading of the Torah follows a calendar cycle, with a specific portion assigned each week. These weekly portions, read aloud in synag...

Just noticed Sabrina’s account is gone. Messed up

Girltwink implies the existence of girlbears. Girlwolves. Girltwunks. Girlotters. Expand your horizons.

In 1931, the newly-independent nation of Estonia held a beauty contest. Photographers were sent to every town to photograph the women who wanted to compete, where they’d all be looked at by judges. This was easier since rail travel was inaccessible to many at this point. Hugo Kriveler, a soldier, joked that he’d have to participate himself because all the women in his village were ugly. In a sister’s clothes, Kriveler did so. The photo made it decently far, until Kriveler had to come forward, as it was technically a crime and there might have been a trial. The newspaper wrote an article and everyone had a good laugh. But you can look at the article and see that they ran two photos. One of a glassy-eyed soldier looking like a soulless husk, and the other of a girl from the country in a simple half-unbuttoned shirt and a cloth on her head. And she was smiling.

A girl from the country, looking happier than ever.

i think video games might simply be a bad medium for communicating the message that wanton ultraviolence is bad actually. every game that’s tried (ex. spec ops the line) has pretty thoroughly failed on that front. only one i can think of that kinda did successfully it was This War of Mine?

Christian Slater holding a cigarette and saying: You’re an unscrewed-up reaction to a screwed up situation. Feeling screwed up in a screwed-up place in a screwed-up time does not mean that you are screwed up.

Symbol of the trilateral commission. Three arrows in a circle pointing towards each other

The trilateral commission symbol is lowkey kinda cool

I literally had to look up what I was doing wrong because this game uses a different definition of “on the rocks” apparently. Bullshit. I do like the femcel protag tho.
