People are saying that 450 today for the switch 2 is the same price-ish as the Wii was at launch adjusted for inflation and they might be right but my WAGE was not adjusted so put that shit back to 300

The same with games being 80 bucks but again my wages were not adjusted so this is going to end up the WiiU 2 if they don't do something soon so fucking do it

saw a lengthy dni that ended with "and ESPECIALLY feeders, just be normal about food." huh. what. hello

rotating this in my head trying to deduce what could possibly warrant taking offence to feederism, let alone positioning it as "especially" offensive on a list with like. terfs. and the only answers i can come up with boil down to either "fatphobia" or "reactionary sexual politics". or both

"be normal about food" where "normal" means "not fat or expressing attraction to fat people"

getting teary eyed thinking about gerda gottlieb's paintings of her wife after she transitioned

thing is, for a lot of these paintings it wasn’t “after” lily elbe’s transition. there was no after to it. the one op posted was painted in 1928. this was 2 years before lily legally changed her name and began undergoing revolutionary gender affirming procedures. unfortunately she died due to complications of an experimental uterine transplant in 1931.

up until that point, during the day lily continued to dress in masculine clothing and even attended galleries showing gottlieb’s paintings of her. which was kind of iconic. she got to stand in a room full of people who were marveling her beauty, not knowing she was right next to them. it must have been such a cute little secret for them as a couple.

here’s gerda and lilly together

not to mention that for most people there is no real “after” to a transition. especially for these trans historical figures who had to balance identity and safety at all times.

i think having a wife paint these portraits must have felt really amazing for lily. to be able to see herself through the eyes of someone who loved her. i’m very much seconding op on the getting teary eyed.

here are some of my favorite gottleib lily paintings

kissing through a knights helm and sucking the strap are ontologically quite similar, in that you CAN really feel it, as long as you are Pure Of Heart

i’m going to hold your hands when i say this and i am only going to be kind about it once: ai does not belong in fandom spaces, ever. not in writing, not in art, not in video, not at all. it does not matter how bad you want to see your favourite characters kiss, or how much you need a bit of help finishing a chapter, or whatever.

make friends with artists. commission somebody. learn to draw yourself. ask for a beta read. try a writing partnership. fandom spaces are communities, so engage with them! it is about the journey and the fact that we all love something enough to create and build together about that thing.

spending 30 seconds to kill a tree and get an AI to push out some soulless empty piece of “content” is antithetical to the entire point of being engaged with fandom, and if you’ve taken to doing this you should really reconsider if you belong in these spaces with the rest of us.

Idk i can't fuck with queers who consider being a thief or a whore or a druggie a bad thing. Like babe if you made it this far within the current structures of American oppression without somehow actively rejecting both law & custom I'm just assuming you'd be a volunteer fed in a heartbeat

what does minecraft have to do with this

more than anything on earth fatphobic thin people love pretending their disgust with feedism is some kind of moral fight on our behalf to protect us poor fatties from something terrible like being seen as hot and attractive because of our weight rather than in spite of it

someone else phrased it better but literally the feedist community is majority fat people, like who exactly do you think you're fighting

matt just fired half the remaining tumblr support staff lmao

from my sources adjacent to tumblr--from which i can spread rumors and insider information freely because i dont give a fuck about ever working in the tech sector--im hearing this round of firings was focused on purging the senior staff, and not just from support but from the entire remaining tumblr workforce. i'm hearing there are about 25 people left.
