a few years ago I asked for a non-mRNA covid vaccine at target (via an option I selected on THEIR WEBSITE), and the pharmacist in the store told me a non-mRNA vaccine didn’t exist. it did, it does, it’s novavax, and I’d had it several times by then. even professionals are not super informed anymore.
realizing that the Christian kids were just as cliquey and exclusionary as all the other kids my age were, therefore being part of organized religion didn’t mean someone was a good person or would even necessarily try to be.
also I heard some Led Zeppelin and I was like hey this slaps
Of course you shouldn’t believe the Pixar jerk that they keep cutting queerness out of their movies for fear of forcing family conversations or whatever.
This is Disney. It’s money. It’s fear of losing money from weird bigot adults, with queer people perceived as not enough a market gain for them.
If you're wondering how bad things were at Pixar for women, the answer is pretty horrifyingly bad.

like sorry but any kind of new firefly thing has three main problems
one - joss whedon is a super creep
two - adam baldwin helped start gamergate
three - the core premise of firefly is racist and at some point you have to address that they didn't even like add any chinese characters for the movie

A screenshot of the accessibility tab in my Bluesky settings, showing the alt text toggled on "require alt text before posting" Btw alt text is also a fun place to shamelessly editorialize on your post and there ain't no character limit. Go ahead and share the Canterbury Tales here plus throw in a random Fuck or Shitass. It's a delightful pastime
Friends, please use Alt Text whenever you post images. It helps those with sight issues understand your sparkling captions & assists those of us who are hopelessly unhip in getting your references. Just toggle it in the settings for a reminder every time you share a bot mot, THANKYOUSOMUCH

Not to be THAT feminist, but I knew this was the case before opening the article. Men see fatherhood as an abstract milestone that's a proof of their virility, women see the associated costs.
Not to mention that women not being locked into domesticity is the core of the antifeminist backlash today.

We need antidepressants built for this era, not the ones built for an era where everything was more or less fine. I need Turbo-Powered Lexipro. Prozac Extreme™. I need god to spit directly into my mouth
I'm unsure how people really think people were downplaying a virus that can kill you, make you go blind, wipe out your immune system for years, and oh yeah come back and kill you a decade after you thought you'd shaken it.
Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

fandom has problems with this too. 20 year olds are like “why are you here reading and writing fanfic and being on tumblr” like people hit 40 and just stop having interests? it’s wild.

I have watched more & more friends turn to Substack in the past few months. PLEASE DON'T DO THIS! #Substack has well-documented problems with platforming literal Nazis, as well as writers spreading Covid misinformation, anti-vaccine propaganda, & transphobia. Long post here:

Can Microwaves solve race relations? Can a panini press fix my marriage?
and why do y’all think YOUR standards of what types of bodies are acceptable for other people to have are fine and dandy, but the fascists’ standards of what types of bodies are acceptable for other people to have are evil? they’re the same standards.
