Acceptable variations are: "ZTMachine", "zt", "ztm", and "machine". Acceptable variations are NOT "zt machine" or "tmachine". Pedantic? Maybe.

Also I love getting asks! Send me whatever you want!

Fuck

Aight which one of yall is gonna be the Tranny Thurgood Marshall?

To give a bit deeper context to this since I don’t expect this sundown-town-ass website to know any Black history,

Im mainly thinking of Marshall’s early career, before he became the first Black Supreme Court Justice. He was a traveling attorney for the NAACP, and won 29 of the 32 civil rights cases he took against the Supreme Court, including ending β€œSeparate But Equal” doctrine via Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 and resulted in a ruling that segregation was unconstitutional.

He was a master of using the words of the system against itself to force it to lose by its own rules, often being able to use existing sociological data to prove the ways that Black people were not just being discriminated against, but were being disproportionally harmed by segregation. He was responsible for releasing a large amount of legal shackles placed on Black people in the US as a whole, though he did focus hard on school desegregations - in part because he had been rejected from schools on account of being Black himself, including Maryland’s state law school.

This is obviously a brief summary, but this is the kind of person trans women need fighting for us specifically right now. Who knows the fucking pains of how we are treated and the horrific segregation, discrimination, and danger trans women face personally. The system aint gonna *save* us but having people do their best to toss a wrench in the gears killing us Officially and slowing things down means even one more person might survive, and even one more person surviving than would otherwise is a win.

That is what I mean by β€œwe need a Tranny Thurgood Marshall”

That weirdo billionaire obsessed with stopping his aging/taking his son's blood to stay young has, as far as I can tell, taken a hero dose of shrooms that led him to fall in love with one of his employees(?) and is now attempting to use his wealth to find a cure for her endometriosis? Which like, sure

This is so funny

idk who needs to hear this but get off 4chan. and if you are already off 4chan, also get off the 4chan you have built into your mind.

to be clear its not even that 4chan is a homogenous pit of pure evil. there's a lot of people on the site and they are human beings with interests seeking community. i say this for those reading this post who go "well but i'm not on 4chan to be a nazi, i don't engage with that kind of really rancid stuff"

even if you are on the least rancid edge of the cesspit, there is still a reason it is a cesspit. by which i mean that the overall culture of 4chan is the problem, the ways of thinking and engaging with yourself and other people and society it encourages people to adopt are the problem. the overall callousness and cruelty and irony poisoning are the problems. get off 4chan.

from @395nm

There's discourse trying to rehabilitate 4chan by claiming it's not really more bigoted than twitter, facebook, or tumblr. This is false. If you've ever considered these takes, please actually go to 4chan (everything's visible with no login) and try spending half an hour there. I used to get porn from /gif/, but I stopped, because seeing 600 slurs every time I visited got tiring. You can't go 5 minutes without seeing KKK-level discourse on Black people, gay people, trans people, Jews, and women. Nazi, incel, and child molester rhetoric is mainstream on 4chan. There's always at least one active thread for non-consensually recorded porn, as well as a trans hate "rope fuel" thread and a natsoc thread. There are bigots on tumblr, but the ones on 4chan are 100x more open and emboldened. I don't trust anyone who tells me they're the same. On tumblr, Black people don't get as many reblogs as white people. Some of you scroll on by, or leave ignorant comments like "I've never heard of that kind of racism. It doesn't sound real." When a Black person posts on 4chan, they get told, "don't post [slur]s here. There's already a thread for [slur]s, so post it in that thread and quit shitting up this one." I'm paraphrasing - the people on 4chan are substantially less civil. I understand "channer" is often used against transfems on tumblr, trading on the stereotype that trans women come from 4chan. The answer is to deconstruct the stereotype - most trans women did not come from 4chan. If you did come from 4chan, the answer is "I've left it behind and deconstructed the attitudes I learned there," NOT "It's no worse than other websites!"

(now I do want to point out that tumblr also has aggressive racists and outspoken nazis, as well as more covert/progressive racism. but overall, culturally, 4chan is tolerant to explicit white supremacy and nazism to another degree & goes back to the cynicism and cruelty and irony-poisoning)

religion is so fucking funny the world is just too beautiful there must be a higher entity behind all this. lets oppress women

i think its so funny how brandon did not think through sadeas's backstory, like, at all, in terms of timing and stuff, so sadeas is doing everything extremely young

brandon sanderson:

-said that sadeas was exactly fifty in wor

-said stuff in the first two books that implied that the conquest of alethkar happened probably like twenty years later than it actually ends up happening in oathbringer

-ok yeah thats totally fine and normal

-changed his mind, wanted jasnah to be born while alethkar was first getting conquered and wanted dalinar to do the majority of his blackthorn conquest bullshit before he met evi, pushed the timeline back so that the first oathbringer flashback was 34 years ago, when dalinar was 19

-wobs have sadeas three years younger than dalinar

-sadeas is 16 in ob 3

-ob 3 is a year into the conquest

-sadeas was a highprince and a war general at age 15

-radiant says in a throwaway in wind and truth that sadeas and ialai ALSO murdered their way to the throne. which happened at the very latest when sadeas was 15, and also implies ialai was in sadeas's life at that point

-not only were sadeas and ialai high school sweethearts, but they were, like, ninth grade sweethearts. perhaps even middle school sweethearts. and they are the only functional lighteyed marriage of their generation

-conclusion: jesus christ

Chainmoker Cat and Bojack Horseman are now the two only items in my list of "shows that are actually fucking amazing but which I wouldn't recommend to anyone."

I haven't seen Bojack Horseman yet but I can say I'll recommend Chainsmoker Cat not as an enjoyable watch but as a depiction of addiction that is neither cool nor cute.

Do not go into Chainsmoker Cat with the plan to be amused unless you like gross out humor, and even then, if you have any empathy you're going to pity her.

It's amazing and I think everyone should watch it... But not as an enjoyable watch

Honestly, having watched the first five episodes, I was initally surprised that the protagonist is consistently doing better than I was doing at my worst. Sure, the rock bottom is the same, materially speaking, but who in the ever-loving fuck has a sister who's willing to buy a hazmat suit to come take care of you in your nasty-ass home when you're sick??

I fully went in assuming that there would be a lot more plotlines boiling down to "local woman goes into insane lengths to make sure that absolutely nobody knows how badly she is living because the only thing that could make it worse would be having anyone witness it", but she's got a fucking support network (mainly consisting of peers who aren't doing any better but still)?? She's got a healthy attitude about it and reminds herself that she's not a bad person just because she's got no life management skills?? She has family and loved ones who know how badly she's doing and still want to help instead of shaming her for making them look bad in association???

Insane what a world of difference it makes when you're not ashamed of being a loser and have loser buddies to be losers with, instead of hiding in isolation from your better-doing friends out of shame and clinging to abusers out of desperation.

There's a segment of population to whom Chainsmoker Cat is a cozy wish-fulfillment fantasy kind of show.

I have a tattoo of Bojack Horseman. I can not get a tattoo of this show. Hell, I shouldn't even start it. I'm terrified I'll be too entranced by the juxtaposition of "haha its a furry" and "oh my god this show makes me want to kill myself" if I come home with a cat girl on my ass cheek you know why.

Unfortunately I have to let you know that the protagonist would also find it hilarious. You're getting a tattoo of a cat girl wearing crocks and sweatpants, wiping off tears of laughter, with the caption "BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Y'ALL CHECK IT OUT I'm on someone's ass"

β€œThere are no female aliens in our game because we don’t know how to make a female version of this alien” You know that alien you just designed? That male alien? Give it a female voice actor and have characters refer to it as she. That’s it. That’s literally all you have to doΒ 

Make her shorter if you must

Make her BIGGER if you aren’t a cowardΒ 

Take your male alien bodytype, make her like 4 feet taller, give her an extra set of arms and sharper teeth, and as muscular as shit.

Boom.

Give her natural camouflage and make the man like this

Make them exactly the same size and shape but different colors

Give him a huge flock of babies following him around to show off what a great lay he is

Surprise mPregantΓ©

Exactly the same but one of them has a cool hat (you decide which)

Give her a sensible haircut for successful hunting while he has a big dumb mullet so big and dumb the food can see him coming and book it

Please just for the love of pie do not begin and end with boobs

it’s too early for this

Flags Mashup Bot is really out here trying to start World War III

My fav part is that it is genuinely just a bot. All it does is take two countries, puts the 2nd country's colours on the 1st country's flag and mixes their names together.

Literally the only other thing behind it is that the bot weights picking the second country based on how close they are to the first, and basic geography + history means that's also where you're going to get the most aggressive relations. This isn't some guy trolling by making things specifically to piss people off, it's some guy who likes flags going "wouldn't it be fun to mix flags together, let's write a bot for that" and accidentally creating a whole meme culture of "days since flag mashup bot last tried to start WW3 = 0" and the like.

saw a youtube video with a date of 20 years ago and i thought "surely this is a glitch, youtube wasnt even around 20 years ago" and then i watched as my hands shriveled and fell to dust before my very eyes
