Titled Quite Magnificently

healthcare should not have a weight limit.

like it doesn’t matter if a person is so fat they’re immobile & have infections in their skin folds & need assistance with everything from hygiene to cooking to cleaning etc. they should still get good medical care.

the fattest person you possibly imagine still deserves medical care. it also doesn’t matter why they’re fat, even if that person got fat because all they did was eat and eat without ever exercising, they still deserve medical care.

My problem with all those memes hating on electroswing is that many of them implicitly identify "contaminating" swing with EDM influences as the genre's central problem, when the real problem is that most self-labelled electroswing artists clearly know fuck all about swing.

Like, there's no intrinsic problem with the idea of swing-style EDM. That's a perfectly cromulent notion. The trouble is that in order to properly make it, you first have to actually know what swing is.

An acquaintance of mine as a teen uploaded his electronic music to Newgrounds as "Jazz" because it had a MIDI trombone and some seventh chords in it. It took a while for me to convince him that's not what that meant.

Switching between these every day

"maybe it's not your pussy" is such a funny phrase and also correct. People wonder why chores are so hard and it's like, friends we used to have a whole intergenerational team on this and now Grandma is locked in a beige box. Cooking is hard.

Reblog the problem is capitalism and not your pussy

adults disciplining children: i think i will communicate with this brand new human in the loudest, rudest, most obnoxious and socially off-putting way possible

adults disciplining children: i think i will behave in ways that are completely, radically unacceptable in literally any other scenario

adults disciplining children: welcome to earth! for the next ten years i will treat you in ways that i would not dare treat any other person. i do not treat other people this way because i know it is bad and wrong. hope you understand.

And then when the autistic child mimics this behavior to a tee because that's how they were inadvertently taught to socialize, they are further punished and it reinforces the behavior and teaches them this is how they are supposed to interact with other people when they have problems.

Hi it took me until I was nearly an adult to be friends with anyone because I was a huge asshole and had to unlearn pretty much everything my stepmother did that I had started mimicking.

Hey, anyone going to the hands off protests tomorrow. Love y'all, be safe remember good protest practices. Wear real shoes, preferably boots, and jeans. Wear sunblock. Write your important contact numbers on your body. If stopped by police, you may have to give your name and address and date of birth dependent on laws in your location, then ask politely if you are being detained or if you are free to go and if free, walk away slowly and if not ask why you are being detained and then say "I want to speak to a lawyer" and then shut the fuck up. If you are protesting on federal or state property the laws may be different in those locations, check.

Don't sign things. Don't take your phone unless you can lock it with a code not face or fingerprint recognition or use a burner phone. Don't take pictures of people without their permission. If someone goads you to get violent, they're a cop trying to get you in trouble. Have a check in buddy for after, so someone is looking for you as soon as possible.

(note, i edited this after someone i trust who has a lot more protest experience than i do and reasons to know said most of us are more likely to need a phone to document incidents or call for help)

oh my god. og my god. the symbolism of it all

Omg your mind @oldshrewsburyian

For those, like me, who had no idea why "I die where I cling" is sexy or even interesting, apparently, the original phrase was in French and meant to be a pun, since the French for orgasm is "petite mort" or "little death" so it was a reference to orgasms and the erogenous nature of the inner thigh. This PBS article lacked context and nobody provided it in the notes.

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt have turned me on like it did but alas

@theshitpostcalligrapher I think I found one for you.

sweeeeeeet

this is the guy they made video games for. literally nobody else

“Mininykus”, my little speculative alvarezsaurid guy

Basically a tiny version of mononykus haha. I am not like a skeleton person so if I mess up in that diagram then feel free to critique it

It is a nocturnal desert dwelling theropod, with a very short stature. Only about 6-9 inches tall. It is a predator, and mainly hunts during the night. It feeds on insects, grubs, and small reptiles. They dig shallow burrows in dirt mounds, where they sleep during midday to avoid the heat. Their large eyes and whiskers aid in helping them transverse their dark environment.

It is sort of based on a jerboa, but it can’t hop. They are very good at speedwalking though.

Edit: I see some new mininykus enjoyers! Reminder that mininykus has its own tag (#mininykus) with more art and speculation!

Edit 2: every few months someone finds this post again so I will make you all look at the real thing:

Made by the incredible artist Book_rat , please give their work some love!

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it's genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

Kermit the Frog can never get canceled because Kermit the Frog has no agency or personhood beyond what he is imbued with by the collective labor of puppeteers, voice actors, singers, and writers. He is, along with these other examples, effectively a celebrity by gestalt. He has transcended the inherit instability of the celebrity class through diffusion of responsibility for his personhood. He is a god.

Scientists shouldn't have to pretend they're bringing back the dire wolf. Geneticists should be able to say "I want to make wolves larger for no reason", and we should have the resources to say "that sounds cool as hell. Here's a billion dollars"

one of the more bleak things to acknowledge is that if you pirate literally all of your music and then set aside a spotify subscription's worth of money each month to spend on a single pay-what-you-want album, it would almost immediately amount to you supporting those musicians more than streaming does

pirating all of your music and then buying a hat or something four times a year still makes you pull significantly ahead of the person who streams thousands of songs every year. it's not really a fair or good system for anyone

What a good post to reblog on bandcamp friday. Remember that any money you spend on albums on bandcamp today goes 100% to the artist.

I saw a lot of people reblogging this with my addition two days ago and now I'm afraid some of them might have thought it was bandcamp friday that day lol. So for anyone with post timestamps turned off: I made that addition on Friday March 7th 2025. Bandcamp fridays always fall on the first friday of the month (when they do them) so the next one should fall on April 4th

The next Bandcamp Friday is on May 2nd, 2025! You can use this page to check how long until the next one :3

The remaining ones this year are:

if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

This post is the distilled essence of everything I believe in.
