If you play Unicorn Overlord DO NOT have Auch has your unit leader, it is not worth it, when he defeats an enemy he'll go "could you perhaps... praise me?" In the most PATHETIC voice ever and I can't take the fight seriously anymore
THIS IS NOT SUBTEXT THIS IS TEXT

check out my army of beautiful trans women (but with better lighting this time)
Side facing Bruno

my favourite thing is taking pictures of my OP team "Let's go lesbians" winning in different environments
this game is still so so pretty
character in upcoming rpg: just wants mommy to love him, craves praise, spends his entire introductory mission complaining and freaking out, self-assured of his power, when you recruit him he has at least a couple of voice lines where he asks for praise for winning a battle
me: buddy you don't even want to know what the fandom is going to do to you
Today I learned about Auch's marriage cutscene. Yes, you can get married to him. Guess what this pathetic sopping wet paper bag of a man begs for. That's right. More praise.
Solar energy has so many benefits. Raising salaries for teachers is such a needed narrative.
One thing the conservative news cycle is EXTREMELY invested in is the idea that WE CANNOT SPEND MONEY ON THINGS; WE ARE TOO BROKE.
(Meanwhile, while running their own private businesses and investments, they are quite comfortable with the idea of spending a little money to get a lot more money. They’re quite familiar with it, because that’s the most common way get more money than you can acquire with your basic human labor. You spend money to get even more of it. That’s how investments work.)
Bear that in mind when you see conservatives attack plans to improve infrastructure. They’ll complain about raised taxes, the lack of a magical money tree, the fact that some left-leaning people have not spent money well, the fact that all of these (potholes/unhoused people/crime/crumbling windows/closed-down libraries) indicates that THERE IS NO EXTRA MONEY AND PEOPLE ARE POOR AND THOSE NASTY LEFTIES WANT TO STEAL EVEN MORE FROM YOU.
It is vitally important to the operation of conservative power that everyone be in a scarcity mindset. Everything from Sam vimes boot theory on how The Poors have to buy things, to how The Poors expect our tax money to be administered, is beneficial to conservative power; therefore it is of great benefit to them that everything The Poors want has to be framed, first, in the idea that “we are too poor and can afford nothing.” In fact, it would be perfect for the conservative governments of the world if The Poors agree on being too poor and self-absorbed in our collective poverty to invest in anything at all - not education, not trains, not clean water or safe air or a stable climate or pretty wild birds - those things are nice to have, we already agree, but we really can’t afford them: and are distrustful of anyone so unrealistically rich that they think we can. The self-imposed austerity mindset is perfect for a secure power conservative base. All they have to do is regularly remind The Poors that we can’t afford anything, and we’ll do the rest of the work.
This solar panel story is great because it has a clear trajectory from beginning to end. The school gathered supporters and funds; they spent some money (and time, and research, and faith, and trust) on solar panels, and ended up making a profit. In fact they made so much money that they could spend it on other things. You can take two seconds to look at the story and agree: infrastructure usually pays its dividends. Infrastructure, in fact, is an investment.
Bear in mind that there are many delightful projects, actively happening around you right now, that will be killed at the moment their parents start trying to gather money and supporters for them. The cry will go up “we can’t afford that.” “We aren’t made of money.”
Where possible, I advise: take the two minutes of attention that you spend on the satisfaction of the solar panel story. Take those two minutes to unpick whether the project is actually an investment. Many budgets can afford investments. Most budgets appreciate having assets even more.
So that’s another thread to weave in; once upon a time, these solar panels happened because people made a good argument, and other people stood with them. It cost something to make it happen, plus a lot of work, and that cost was repaid. That is a narrative that happens too; so sometimes, even if we are afraid, it can be worth investing in the future.
So p/atreon is amping up its lockdown on nsfw material, gumroads is amping up its nsfw material-
Pornhub is currently not available in texas.
KOSA keeps coming closer to getting actually passed-
Can people please just admit that nsfw is being driven underground? That adult artists are being banned and pushed out of their spaces?
And dont start saying "oh just the yucky stuff." No, this is *ALL* Nsfw.
We are losing spaces left and right...
Not only that, it feels like we creatives are being killed. And that isnt exactly hyperbolic.
Paypal implemented taxes not that long ago, a hit to those who use it. Artists especially. Midjourney and other ai, stealing artworks, having people think less of artists.
Platforms kicking and banning artists left and right.
It feels like being an indie creator is being choked out of possibility. That you have to be born rich and lucky for your creative dreams to come true.
"oh you're just a porn addict its not that bad"
Its not that bad until your stuff is banned.
We had ROE VS FUCKING WADE thrown out the window. You dont think we could have LGBTQA+ rights thrown out too!?
The internet is becoming SO HOSTILE to creatives of all sorts. Its fucking heartbreaking.
Its like we're entering nsfw prohibition of the internet, buy a 160 dollar keychain for a 'free' picture of a dragon fucking a Volkswagen 😭
Exactly. And if people think it's just 'porn' being banned, they're wrong.
The lgbtq community is going to be the first to be thrown under the bus, especially with states like Missouri proposing laws where teachers are not even allowed to address a trans student by their preferred pronouns.
In other states, merely dressing as you identify is now being deemed as 'pornographic' and a crime.
It doesn't matter how 'wholesome' you think your queer art or writing is. It's going to be lumped in with anything lgbtq, and as far as the alt-right is concerned, it will be seen as immoral 'porn'.
This ban is the alt-right taking yet another step over the line to see how hard we will fight back.
Give. Them. Hell.
KOSA is the next step, and if it passes, we're fucked.
There is a planned lawsuit against mastercard nsfw policies (as it all trickles down on every monetized platform that USED to host nsfw) i hope it goes somewhere https://www.tumblr.com/taikeero-lecoredier/745142469891670016/lawyer-up-literally-i-think-itll-be-the-only-way?source=share As for KOSA,take the time to learn about it and help fight against it https://www.tumblr.com/taikeero-lecoredier/709890130733826048/these-twos-bills-are-very-bad-for-the-future-of?source=share
Also, for the people still uncertain what counts as 'nsfw'
Michaelangelo's David counts.
The Willendorf Venus counts.
Every millennia old stone or bronze statue depicting nude men and/or women. Every painting, every tapestry, every painted vase.
This isn't just 'icky porn', it's stuff that is entirely nonsexual depictions of nude human bodies too.
(I'm pointing this out bc every time I see this argument SOMEONE chimes in with 'oh but they don't mean REAL art!'. Yes, yes they do also mean your narrow definition of artistic nudity as well)
all of this is important & true but worth mentioning that the first people being thrown under the bus in online sexual content policies are sex workers. we can’t leave sex work out of these conversations.
Florida absolutely means Michelangelo’s David. Florida is also famous for its “Don’t Say Gay” bill.
In fairness to Florida, I was googling for “Alabama Michelangelo David,” because I was sure it had happened here. Alabama legislators passed their own “Don’t Say Gay” bill two years ago, and are currently being assholes about a trans worker at Space Camp, who a parent called a “freak.” Don’t even get me started on book banning.
If you give them a chance to restrict the internet, they will take it. All of this is connected. All of you are correct.
shout the fuck out to bald girls btw. let it be known that i will show the fuck up for bald/balding girls any hour of the day, any day of the week, any week of the year. you could call me up at 3 in the morning and tell me that you happened upon some receding hairline queens who need hyping up and i would tell you i'll be there in five. i love you bald girls
to clarify for some who asked: i'm talking ALL bald/balding girls, regardless of the cause of hair loss. alopecia, chemo treatment, trichotillomania, hormones (looking at you, trans girlies!!!), or even if you've shaved your head yourself, all of you deserve to be hyped up and to be reminded that you look fucking amazing and you are 1000 times stronger and swaggier than anyone who isn't willing to let go of beauty standards to see how brilliantly you shine. to take it again: I LOVE YOU BALD GIRLS
This is.....niche. Do period-appropriate chickens even still exist? Idk anything about chickens. I like the fancy ones.
Oh, I was just reading about that last night! One resource you can check is the American Poultry Association- it has records of the history of breeds, and especially when those breeds were officially admitted to/recognized by the APA. For instance, the Barred Rock is a breed that was officially recognized in 1874, having been bred from the Dominique, a much older heritage breed.
Reminds me a bit of this
You never know what's going to break people's immersion, depending on their knowledge and expertise and hyperfixations.
The IOF opened fire on starving civilians trying to collect food aid murdering dozens and injuring an estimated hundreds or more they then crushed some of the injured by running over them with tanks. This was their “reason.”
this is for real?? this sounds like a fucking onion article
I need to see BDSM haters go on rants about the evils of capsaicin
It’s ridiculous to believe that anyone truly enjoys eating spicy food, capsaicin literally evolved as a deterrent to keep mammals from eating it… oh you “like” eating spicy food?? You “like” crying and your nose running at the table while you’re trying to just enjoy dinner? Just admit you have brain rot from watching too many episodes of Hot Ones and go…
I would never let someone eat spicy food in front of me… like that’s literally a chemical irritant that burns your tissue, anyone who would willingly let their partner—let alone ASSIST THEIR PARTNER!!!—in this act of obvious self-harm is an abuser. If I was on a date with someone and they ordered Sichuan hot pot I would simply get up and leave.
