i wish it was more common for stuff to depict fatness as like. beautiful and attractive. beyond porn. like the porn is great i just also want to see a double chin and big appetite described or rendered as good and beautiful and charming casually
hey no ure absolutely on point. frankly my idea with saying "beyond porn" was really because that's the place ive seen the most normalization of attraction to fatness. i don't think fetishism and sexuality detract from the ways something is good at depicting fatness– in fact it's refreshing in a sea of crushingly common fatphobia and disgust at even the allusion of weight.
idk. there's a complicated conversation to be had about how fat fetishism isn't like a demonic thing, but also just having a type that's heavier will get you called a fetishist (or frankly sometimes just depicting a fat person ever). and it's both a thing of 1) okay, and how does it being a fetish makes it any less valuable? sex is a human experience. and 2) it needs to be possible to just be want to depict fat people whether you're into it or not without the assumption something about it must make you sexually different. why are we doing all that. dehumanizing as fuck etc
tldr i just want the constant neverending barrage of fatphobia to stfuuu i have a headache and a brick ill throw really hard if provoked
building a snowman :D
When I tell that I LOVE solarpunk
Oh, I remember this, the edit was done by youtuber Waffle to the left.
They didn't just cut out the parts with the oat milk, they skillfully edited over all the god-damn branding and replaced the audio.
But what I still find most hilarious about this whole commercial is the fact that everything they show in this solar punk world seems to be made with sustainable, zero waste and reusable materials.
Everything EXCEPT THE FUCKING CHOBANI BRANDED STUFF!
The only plastic you see in this whole commercial is all the straight to the landfill packaging made by the very corporation that tries to sell how sustainable and "green" they are.
Unintentional self satire at its finest.
They couldn't even show their yogurt and milk in (basically infinitely reusable) glass containers because they pretty much only sell their shit in plastic
It is such a perfect example of the true face of "green" capitalism, it's hilarious.
The punk in this solarpunk comes from cutting the corporation out of the picture
ALSO
Another really interesting thing about this edit is that they changed the label on the side of the apple-picking machine.
From "donations" to "commons". It's a subtle change, but it makes a huge difference in the world-building of the video. The former implies that this big orchard belongs to an owner and that they're donating the fruits to "the less fortunate" (and, by extension, that poverty is still a thing); the latter implies that the orchard belongs to everyone and that the fruits are free to take in the spirit of solidarity.
Waffle To The Left brought out the potential in this gorgeous video and made it an actual solarpunk utopia — without brands and without corporate pandering, complete with true common ownership over land and resources.
unfuck google drive by shooting gemini
Hey folks! Google is fucking you via sneaky enshittification again!
Want the shit in your google drive to load instantly again, instead of taking for-fucking-ever?

Gemini was checked "use as default" (and i sure the fuck didn't set it that way, this was a silent push)
Nuke that, and suddenly, folders that took up to a minute to populate and sort do so in a fraction of a second.
i really think we the U.S. public need to be SUPER FUCKING LOUD about how admirable we think this kind of thing is.
Anytime military members speak up about not liking their orders to be deployed against the american public, or especially REFUSING such orders, the nation needs to hear a great outcry of public support for that act
I don’t know about anyone else but these sorts of headlines frequently make me highly suspicious so I did some follow up research after reading the article. I am happy to say that Green Sea Turtles no longer being counted as endangered is not due to the IUCN or any government shifting the goalpost for what can be considered an endangered species. The only update is, as the article states, an update in surveyed population numbers. Notably the article itself states that the current Green Sea Turtle numbers are not currently at what they historically were when the species was thriving, but this change in status over a relatively short period should absolutely be considered a significant win for conservation efforts and indicates a larger more grounded hope in our ocean ecosystems ability to heal.
Fighting for a better world is worth it and it is not too late.
Me: Okay improv class somebody give me an occupation. :)
Class: Dentist!
Me: okay, so in this scene you are going to be a dentist. :)
Child 1: WHY DID YOU STEAL MY TEETH!
Child 2, on the floor, sobbing: I’m so sorry! I sold them on the dark web. I’m in so much debt from medical college.
I ask myself this every day.
12 year olds REALLY like taxes, debt, and divorce as topics of distress in improvisation for some reason
apologies to anyone who ever thought i was cool and reached out to me only to discover i am just a weird little hermit who can't carry on a conversation to save my life

I’m kind of obsessed with this painting and others by the same artist of Black girls.
it is one of the few representations of Black women in “traditional art,” for lack of a better term that shows the subject as soft, delicate and vulnerable, which are qualities ascribed to us so rarely it’s notable when it happens.
It’s painted by a Ukrainian woman. I don’t have time to unpick all the complexities there, but there’s enough fraughtness between Black women and Eastern Europeans that the source of this painting is equally as surprising to me as the tenderness of subject.
this is killing me. the textile details. the light. the harmony. it’s drowning me, i’m dying. i love it so very much.
I love to see us depicted as delicate and adored, even tho I myself am an old tomboy. Black women deserve.
love that picture of shelley duvall where she looks like a jojo character
This week, I read a fic that was around 20 years old, which had originally been posted on the author's personal website and which she added to AO3 a few years ago. She listed her email address with the fic, so after I finished reading, I sent her an email saying how much I enjoyed the story, how much I appreciated the work and effort she obviously put into it, and thanked her for uploading it to AO3. She responded the next day and thanked me for my message, then said she had a few more stories in the same series that she hadn't gotten around to uploading. I checked this morning--she added a 35,000 word novella and thanked me in the summary.
👏 comment 👏 on 👏 old 👏 fics 👏
three hearts that beat as one | old hollywood throuples anyone???

a few people have asked for a list of the movies— it’s in the original tags in order of appearance and with some random thoughts of mine, or you can find it here on letterboxd! <3
