happy april fools to the good people of tumblr. please enjoy this sketch of toland in a very sensible outfit.

before you make that post about "the crisis facing men and boys" or "preventing redpill radicalization" stop and check in:

is your proposed solution

if so:

your "solution" to behavioral patterns emerging within patriarchy is more patriarchy.

instead:

try to imagine literally anything else.

Trans visibility has gotten scarier for years now, and the trans people celebrating today are extraordinary. I love every single one of my trans siblings, including the ones who don't want to be visible today or can't be. Stay safe, and don't let them take your pride away from you.

Maybe i wasn’t here at the right time but I feel like Season of The Forge didn’t get the love it absolutely deserved.

@ dlemms did a fantastic job reading through the zine! Please give it a listen

i often think about how ikora is surrounded by former lightbearers. and i often think about how she frets over them, how her own immortality causes her to worry over the mortality of those who once were like her. i think about how eris resists her, how ikora is always chasing her to get her to rest and eris is always pulling away, her work far too important for her to ignore. that eris believes ikora thinks her frail and it grates at her, but ikora has never had such ill intentions in her care. i think about how the same happens with osiris. how she tries to be gentle with him, but becomes overbearing. how she keeps him from his purpose and makes him start to believe she thinks he’s broken. how ikora’s own blame of how she handled savathûn complicates their relationship even further, weakens the trust between them even more. i think about how when zavala loses his light it is her he comes to about learning stasis; about regaining some of his strength, about changing his mind, about accepting who he has become. i think about how practiced she is by that point. how when zavala says don’t go easy on me just because— she must be hearing years of eris, months of osiris and her easy i won’t is a reflection of that. i think about how much she cares, and how often she’s right to do so, but how often that care is received as stifling. that it is both strength and character flaw. i love how ikora loves.

reblog and put in the tags the earliest songs you remember actively liking as a child (asking adults to play them for you, learning the lyrics, being excited when they came on the radio etc.)

Fuck nazis. Taxes are great actually. The public service should be valued. Unemployed people deserve adequate financial support. Regulation saves lives and money. Focus on prevention not punishment.

You should care about other people.

Important addition

The higgs boson discovery was made possible by AI sifting through data that was estimated to take humans 500 years to go through and with less accuracy.

AI/ML is a tool like any other. It's not a miracle fix for everything, just like how it isn't an evil entity

Getting my big font because I've said this before and I'm getting angy about it:

You need to stop saying "AI" when you mean "generative AI".

You need to stop inferring "generative AI" when you just see "AI".

You are throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Had to add this gem

Pouring one out for Poison Junior.

We need to make puffy fat cheeks the new it girl beauty trend and give all those celebrities who sucked out their buccal fat body dysmorphia
