Why is apple so obsessed with making very thin things at the expense of power and features

“Yeah my computer doesnt have an hdmi, but at least it’s so thin and fragile that typing too hard could split the computer in half”

The sooner you acknowledge that Apple is a fashion company and not a technology company, everything else makes sense

what ageism is: elderly people living on social security alone not having enough to make ends meet, inaccessibility to public places for people with limited mobility, medical abuse in nursing homes, being assumed to be mentally incompetent, employment discrimination

what ageism is not: you getting mocked for being in your late 30s and getting into heated arguments on tumblr with high school kids about steven universe

weird how 15 years from now it might be ur wedding or ur kids birthday but rn it’s just a regular shitty day

This comment absolutely decimated me on impact

Is now a bad time to mention I actually don’t hate this site? I hate the owners. Hate the staff. Hate the incompetence of whoever is in charge here.

But I love the site, love the format, love my mutuals, my followers and all of the amazing content creators here. I don’t know what I’ll replace this with if anything.

The ignorance of @staff and the continued poor decision making HAS CONSEQUENCES.

REMOVING NSFW CONTENT WILL;

- damage sex workers livelihoods

- damage artist’s livelihoods

- remove an environment where nsfw content could be viewed through filtering tags, which assisted PTSD survivors & others

- close off opportunities of sexual exploration and education

REMOVING NSFW CONTENT WILL NOT;

- fix the bot problem

- fix the nazi problem

- fix overall company revenue & client base respect&response

GET ANGRY. THIS IS NOT THE TUMBLR WE WANT TO SEE.

TOMORROW, REMEMBER TO

i love experiencing how my classmates work to avoid misgendering me. for instance, today one classmate greeted the rest of our small group: “All right ladies and gentlemen — and Avery”

another time a classmate went: “Pardon me, ma’am — uh, sir, uh….esteemed one”

and, my absolute fave: “Hey ladies! — and gentleThem”

i love these moments both because they’re humorous and because they show how hard these folks are trying! it’s not about getting it right every time at first, but consistently correcting yourself!

Aaaaand they will disbar a lawyer QUICK but these cops get paid vacation.

All I’m saying is you need a master’s to be a social worker, but you can be a cop with a high school diploma. Like, on what fucking planet do that make sense?

Cops don’t have to know the law.

There was a supreme court decision recently that a cop is not falsely detaining someone if they’re doing something the cop reasonably believes is against the law, even if it’s actually legal. I think the specific case was about someone driving with a broken taillight in a state where a car is street-legal so long as at least one of its taillights works.

Meanwhile, as a civilian, ignorance of the law is not a defense.

Cops are not required to know the laws they enforce. You are required to know every law you might conceivably break. But then, of course, if you backtalk a cop because you have better knowledge of the law than they do, and they respond violently, good luck winning that.

The Sex Workers Outreach Project has a program where they will send you a list of 10, 25, 50, or 100 incarcerated sex workers who have consented to receive correspondence, in this case holiday letters. I signed up to receive ten names. I enjoy sending and receiving mail. And I know that receiving mail helps the incarcerated remember that they matter while also sending a message to their fellow inmates that people in the outside world care about them. Sometimes this can save lives. So as soon as I get this contact information, I will divy up the names between myself and a few other friends and begin these new correspondences. 

If you are interested in getting involved, the SWOP Behind Bars website is a font of resources for those who want to help.
