I see a common notion that fighting climate change will require everyones lives to be worse, when in fact it will make everyones lives better.

Nuclear/renewable energy will mean far less pollution.

Transit oriented development will mean you won't have to own a car, and improved public health due to far more people being active.

An increase in domestic manufacturing means more jobs.

High speed trains instead of driving or flying.

Shutting down resource intensive and unpopular data centers.

Moving freight with electric trains instead of trucks means less wear on the roads, and less air pollution.

Things are the way they are because they make a few people really really rich, all at your expense.

what the actual fuck

the REALLY scary thing about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster is that we have no idea where the rest of the elephant is

Ngl this has me kind of mad. Someone made AI slop of my art to advertise some slop app. I’m so mad because I declined hundreds of sponsorship offers for apps that felt exploitative of vulnerable groups and „ADHD-curing“ vitamins, and I’m here feeling bad advertising my book and they just go and do this. One of these vitamin grifters have used my art before without approval.

- I’ve only ever accepted one sponsorship for a drawing tablet

- I don’t use AI

- I don’t partner with vitamins, herbs, coachings, apps, anything that would make use of my target audience and that I don’t strongly believe in myself

So please know that if I do sponsorships I’ll post about it on my own channels to let you know. Please be safe out there, report these ads and never hesitate to ask me if you’re unsure.

And it should go without saying but I would never insult myself as an artist to this degree by using AI to make images for me. I do not use AI and despise having my art fed into it.

Thank you for making me aware of this and being with me for so many years 🫶

i love when kids are obsessed with a thing that isnt really designed for children but not in the like. edgy adult inappropriate way. im talking like my childhood obsession with antiques roadshow. or my cousin who's favorite toy was a photographers tripod. like not the camera JUST the tripod. kids are so silly and delightful sometimes.

i'd truly be fucked in her situation because rumpelstiltskin is not a name that would come to mind for me

to be honest i forgot he did that

I don't want kids so I easily get out of it fr

help i forgot this was all over some baby too

i wont even lie i thought he was going to kill her

about to read rumpelstiltskin as an adult so i can get the facts

unfortunately i dont think its queerbaiting if the creator is just so terminally heterosexual that they never remotely considered the same gender relationship their show is centered around could be read as romantic. it is deeply painful however.

Maybe accidental queer baiting? The way someone may not mean to say something rude, but it may come off rude, so it's rude. Frustrating either way.

Not being a dick, just a friendly clarification.

By definition you can't accidentally queerbait. Queerbaiting is specifically using a same sex pair from the show to market the show to queer audiences with no intention of ever following through on a romantic relationship.

There is officially licensed Destiel merch signed off on by Kripke. Teen Wolf had a commercial with the actors for Derek and Stiles draped over each other talking about being "on a ship." Both shows actively used scenes between them as marketing while actively mocking fans for wanting them together. Sherlock has multiple characters refer to Johnlock as a couple, including characters we're supposed to believe are never wrong about human behavior and pushed those scenes in marketing. Then they acted insulted when fans saw them as a couple.

That's queerbaiting.

Done on accident it would just be queer subtext. Done because they had no other choice due to censorship is queer coding.

The specific meaning of the word is really starting to get lost and it's a pretty important one to keep accurate. It describes a very specific phenomenon that was done repeatedly and maliciously for decades and is meant to examine that specifically.

Doing it on accident sucks, but it isn't a tactic of capitalism intentionally intended to suppress queer representation while making money from queer fans.

Reblogging to keep the accurate definition and examples of queerbaiting circulating in the world

This is what Kingdom Hearts looks like to me

we need to bring back public hatred for paparazzi. I’m so tired of actors defending themselves against assholes with cameras and being smeared as egotistical divas. they’re glorified stalkers who get paid to harass people. end of. the things these freaks get away with would send normal people to prison but we’re supposed to think it’s okay just bc they’re paparazzi. they SHOULD get shut down for being openly misogynistic. they SHOULD get told off and reported for following someone to their private residence to doxx them. they SHOULD face charges for just about running people over in their pursuit of the next hot celeb. this is not normal. and, actually, these people DO deserve to get punched sometimes.

Yet another new study debunked the basis for the anti-trans sports bans. It was never about sports but for creating legal avenues for exclusion and abjection. This is one of the largest analyses ever conducted, involving 52 studies and 6,485 trans people. Read the study here.

post so nice had to reblog it twice and force it down everyone's throats

At minimum about 4.5 thousand people liked this without reblogging it.

We gotta fix that.
