this is the best album release of all time because where else are you going to get unironic takes like this and then even get a few hundred people to agree with it

Diaspora writers, when we (those who live outside your West) say to stop imagining your critics being white and liberal, this is why

another reminder to stop buying/watching/reading anything JK Rowling associated

I cannot stress enough she is a primary funder of transphobia. She is not just someone with bigoted views you can seperate from her work, her work funds the bigotry.

Need god to take my friends' sufferings and dump it on Taylor Swift instead

The quicker we understand that Hollywood is the United States' PR department, the faster we'd stop defending people who got rich from the industry

"chekhovs cat / schrödingers razor / occams gun"

Chekov's Cat: if you see a cat in the first act, it will probably be relevant later. (example: Alien)

Shrodinger's razor: an unopened box may or may not contain the solution to the story; there's no way to know without opening it. (example: Monk)

Occam's gun: the simplest way to kill off a character is to shoot them. (example: Bambi)

i have been cracking up at this for the past 3 minutes

Chekov's Box: If there is a container introduced in the opening act, it will be opened later.

Schrodinger's Gun: Treat every gun as if it's loaded unless you've checked it yourself.

Occam's Cat: If you hear strange noises at night, it's probably a cat.

Occam’s Cat: If you

hear strange noises at night, it’s

probably a cat.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

It occurs to me, looking through a bunch of DNI lists and carrds (although it has surely been observed before by others), is that what the people who make these want is not unreasonable per se. Rather, what they are asking for is unreasonable, because what they want is to not be using social media. They want to be using forums, or group chats, or instant messenger, or blogs; they want online communication spaces that are moderated, that are topic-specific, that are limited to existing/vetted members. And these this desire is not unreasonable, but it does not match modern social media.

And because so many of the people who make these seem so very young, I wonder how many of them even realize that spaces that do what they want can (and used to, and still somewhat do) exist, realize that social media can't do what they want it to, but that social media is not the only way for the internet to be.

yk how hard it is for me to not correct misinformation on posts about sports on this website full of people who don't watch sports

women in soccer are not scoring more goals than the men's game on average because they are better at striking the ball, its because specialised goalkeeper training costs money and only recently have most teams started hiring gk coaches. ellie roebuck is among the first generation of english gks to have had a gk coach since she joined an academy.

both chess and motor racing are actually formally unsegregated, only one woman (judit polgar) has been ranked within the top 10 for chess players ever and she was raised by her psychologist father with her sisters as a chess prodigy. lella lombardi is the only woman to score any points in formula 1, ever. the creation of women's leagues is not entirely down to women being better than men and men being afraid, like stop lying and doing the athletes in these sports a disservice, they face significant barriers in access to sponsorship, training and misogyny from peers and fans to get there. you could bother with reading some scholarship on all of this or you could lie on the internet and count it as a win for feminism. like its fine to be disinterested in sports.

and not every sport is boxing for fucks sake. weight classes introduce extremely disordered eating regimes when athletes try to cut and drop into a lower class last minute bc of the advantages of training at higher weight class (getting to eat more food.) sorry but i would prefer that people about to play several hours of tennis do not starve themselves in the leadup to the game.

the sooner you understand that the right trying to 'protect women's sports' is not actually abt protecting anyone, the sooner you will understand that assimilation into the modern machine that is elite sports should never be the aim for women or men, cis or trans.

because no one in commercial sports is protected at all. we take children as young as usually 6, isolate them from their peers in age, construct notions of success for them that are debilitating to most people's sense of self worth, give coaches and parents license to abuse under the guise of training, valorise athletes who play through pain, encourage disordered eating, do not offer financial education and leave them prey to fraud, have no safety nets or pain management support for those whose injuries end their careers and/or leave them with lifelong chronic pain.
