This looks like a shitpost but it’s actually solid advice, like, if you want to achieve a goal you have to pace yourself and be patient instead of expecting too much too soon and then giving up

Congratulations to the purple-gold jumper for being the nicest bug of 2023!
these are all perfect baby angels omg.
Hey man I really wish I could just jack you in to my brain stem so you could enjoy the awesome pictures my thought juice makes straight from the source and understand my intent with perfect clarity but unfortunately you've gotta bite down on this dry boring word bullshit and guess my true meaning instead
Salacious misconstruance, impure imagery!

O_O yo thank you for the radar!!
I really want to do more like this soon. This is also up for grabs
i thought my laptop was on its last leg because it was running at six billion degrees and using 100% disk space at all times and then i turned off shadows and some other windows effects and it was immediately cured. i just did the same to my roommate's computer and its performance issues were also immediately cured. okay. i guess.
so i guess if you have creaky freezy windows 10/11 try searching "advanced system settings", go to performance settings, and uncheck "show shadows under windows" and anything else you don't want. hope that helps someone else.
hey this is apparently helping a lot of people! adding that on top of this you can also go to settings > personalization > colors and turn off transparency to also boost performance. this wasn't the Big Fix for me but might as well do that too if you're trying to optimize.

Tall trans girl reading this: you aren't too tall for heels. If you want to wear them, wear them proud. There is nothing more spectacular than a tall woman in heels, and nobody can ever take that away from you, not even yourself 🩷🪻
My grandmother, at 5'11", wore four inch heels in the 1940s and 50s. If she could do it then at taller than the average cis man, anyone can. If you can find shoes with a heel in your size that look good to you and don't break your ankle, wear them. Be tall, be taller.
When you say the quiet part out loud, UAW will drag you in front of the NLRB for an unfair labor practice violation. Good.

Had to illustrate what I envision literally every time I see this text post
love living during the 3rd Red Scare, the 2nd Lavender Scare, and the 2nd Satanic Panic all at the same time. the political right is so normal and not unhinged at all
some folks have made a few additions that i think are worth bringing up, and i wanted to make some addendums of my own:
3rd US "Yellow Peril": there has been building animosity in the US towards China, and misinformation/conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic have only increased the xenophobia and racism towards people of east asian and pacific islander descent.
This is not the 2nd Satanic Panic in the US, but the 3rd. The 1st was in the 1950s and coincided with the 2nd Red Scare and 1st Lavender Scare. When I refer to the 3rd Satanic Panic, I am referring to the QAnon conspiracy cult and how their beliefs, accusations, and methods all mimic those of Satanic Panics in the US's past. One could argue that Satanic Panics have been going on for much longer than the 50s (the Salem Witch Trials come to mind). however, there are only officially two recognized historical Satanic Panics so far, with debate on the inclusion of QAnon as another Satanic Panic.
i've made a separate post about this, but i want to point out that the 2nd Lavender Scare that i am referring to is specifically the rising tide of violence and hatred towards trans people, gnc people, and drag performance. we are all, in the queer community, being affected by this rise in right wing violence, but it's important to acknowledge that the primary targets of this are those in our community who challenge gender cisnormativity, and especially trans women like me.
lastly, i don't really know what to call this other than a terrifying resurgence in antisemitism in the US and around the world. antisemitism has been around for a LONG time and taken on so many forms. in fact, i guarantee that if you look closely at many of these other scares/panics currently and historically, you will find a piece of antisemitism at their core. jewish people in the US are in danger, and many of them are scared. so, while we're fighting to protect all the other vulnerable populations affected by the scares and panics listed above, let's not forget that we need to protect jewish people too.
