sometimes i wonder if i get passed over for jobs because i'm trans and i think "nah i live in a blue state and the employment gap isn't as bad for trans guys as it is for trans women" but this in fact happened to a transmasc person in a blue state

a line drawing of an office interior, looking in as if one wall has been cut away. its caption reads Β«the dollhouseΒ». on the far side of the room, two desks with various objects scattered atop them are situated in a corner. one faces a wall with two framed portraits, and the other faces a window positioned just high enough to be out of reach. in the other corner, a map hangs on the wall next to the door. on the side closer to the viewer, there is an L-shaped countertop with objects including a rotary phone and a potted plant. a calendar hangs on the wall close to it. a waste bin and a large cabinet filled with folders stand next to the countertop.

a glimpse into the bleak little office begrudgingly shared by comrades karl-peter schmidt and lena volkova, aka β€œthe dollhouse”. fritz gets to come in too sometimes

the original reddit post from r/thomastheplankengine from user 0tt0_0fficial, with the title "dreamt last night that twitter added a new feature where the percentages of users' milk was always displayed."

an image below is an example of said dream: matpat (with the skim milk label) tweets "i don't get it? what's the point of this new update?" 

the tweet is followed a reply chain of people reposting a meme of lord farquaad pointing and saying "skim" until it scrolls off the image.

i don't think it's wrong to remain aware or vigilant of ai but the amount of times ive seen stuff get the label bc it seemed off kilter or bc ppl claim knowledge over a subject they know very little about is concerning! maybe do some research or learn a thing or two before u say something absolute!

kind of hate how reactionary ppl have become towards ai bc it leads to the shit show in the replies where accusations are tossed, never retracted, and the onus of blame is never placed on the individuals who flung shit in the first place bc "the fact i got tricked says a lot abt where things are"

a series of grayscale drawings on a mint green background depicting lena volkova (a light-skinned blonde woman with a bob hairstyle and a military uniform) and her pet cheetah. lena is shown sprinting, holding a giant swirly lollipop, struggling to solve a rubik’s cube, posing with her hands behind her back while standing and smiling, posing lying down with a disinterested expression, and putting her hand up to her left ear to listen to something. her cheetah is shown stretching out. all of the drawings have imperfect proportions.
