Wow. The Patience, Kindness And Calm Communication Skills. Outstanding.

every now and then i see posts about how kids these days don’t know how to pirate anymore but i was hanging with an 11 yr old today and she was telling me about all her favourite illegal streaming sites to watch anime and how she made a japanese google play account so she could play magia record so i guess i’m here to reassure you that cool kids very much do still exist. and they will never go extinct as long as you keep teaching your little cousins and neighbour kids how to pirate

Story idea: The most wanted woman in town has announced that she’ll only marry the one who can open her front door with the key around her cat’s neck. Many men try to hunt the cat down, chase and trap it, but to no avail, the cat is simply too quick, smart and clever, and always finds a way to evade and avoid them.

 You are the first one to figure out the obvious: Do not chase the cat. The cat is befriendable. Get the cat to trust you, to genuinely enjoy your company, and you can hang out with the cat. You may eventually be allowed to touch the cat. The cat will freely let you take the key.

 Secondary plot twist: The woman is a shapeshifter. She is the cat.

all goofing aside I genuinely don't understand the urge to reimagine Taylor Allison Swift as a secretly queer icon when the pop music scene(TM) is like. literally overflowing with women who actually like women. Gaga and Kesha and Miley and Halsey are right there. Rina Sawayama and Hayley Kiyoko and Rebecca Black and Kehlani and Victoria Monét and Miya Folick if you're willing to get slightly less top 100. Janelle and Demi for them nonbinary takes on liking girls. like what are we doing here. like I'm not even saying you can't enjoy Taylor but why would you hang all your little gay hopes on her.

TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN!!!

I've been thinking a lot about AI generated porn. This is porn with people who don't do sexual content, didn't consent to have their face/body molded into porn, and obviously are not being rightfully compensated for this content and the use of their likeness.

Not only is this abusive, but I can't help but think that this goes wayyyy beyond the scope of harassment, impersonation, or any laws that this would justly fit into. It's sexual harassment but 10 times more abusive and can be done to anyone from celebrities and politicians to school teachers, doctors, your friends, and your neighbors. If someone wishes to violate you through AI, they can with little to no repercussions. Imagine you couldn't get a job or accepted to a college because a fuck head made an AI pornographic video of you and its almost indistinguishable from you personally.

The mental toll that it would take to get over that is immeasurable. Imagine a cnc scene that's AI generated with a victim of rape. And they see that. What's the crime there? Obviously, that's a crime, and the people who generate this content are scum of the Earth and deserve to be prosecuted to full extent.

If you pay for this content then what the actual fuck are you doing with your life? There are REAL CREATORS who CONSENT to making sexual content. Many of them do custom videos ! Like what the actual fuck?!?! If your just doing it because of the lack of consent your no better than a rapist. And that isn't a hot take.

I'm going to need y'all to preemptively chill out because the actor's strike is going to mean a lot of things including shows and movies we've been anticipating being pushed way back, and absolutely minimal press tours for the next however long this lasts.

The effects of the writer's strike are months down the road which made it a whole lot easier to support because as third parties we weren't really being affected (yet), the effect of the actor's strike is going to be immediate and we're going to get a lot more propaganda of "these people are overpaid to begin with."

Remember our desire for content does not supersede these people's rights to live.

Support unions, support the strikes.

I keep seeing this so I feel it needs to be said: trying to ship Wednesday Addams with other characters based on what's "healthy" or "toxic" is just...so absurdly ridiculous.

Wednesday is not the "iconic goth girl aesthetic uwu." She's not just odd, quirky representation for people who aren't accepted based on outward appearances.

SHE IS LITERALLY DOWN FOR TORTURE. AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

SHE IS SELFISH, OBSESSIVE, JUDGMENTAL, AND DISMISSIVE.

SHE WILL STAB YOU AND THEN LICK THE KNIFE. FOR FUN.

Our girl does not represent society's concept of "healthy."

She's an outcast among outcasts not just because of her personality but also because she truly and genuinely loves fucked up shit and initially doesn't care about socializing with others that have different interests than she does. More importantly, Wednesday's character arc this season has nothing to do with going from toxic behaviors to healthy ones but instead has everything to do with admitting to and understanding her own emotions. And that's regardless of how healthy those emotions are or where they come from.

Wednesday changes a bit over time, but she never once does so in interest of becoming healthier or being a better person. In fact, multiple times she admits to being pretty toxic herself and was totally fine with that until it started backfiring on her. Wednesday has an obvious code of fairness and reciprocity that dictates how she regards and interacts with people, which shows she does sincerely care about others in her own way, but we also know that she has absolutely no problem treating those she cares about poorly as long as she feels it's justified. We see this with Enid, Tyler, Xavier, Thing, and (to a lesser extent) Eugene. But this only becomes an issue when she starts to feel lonely, or guilty when her impulsiveness results in others getting hurt.

So with regards to shipping, Wednesday finally hugging Enid and eventually kissing Tyler are not significant because they represent something "healthy" or "toxic." They're significant because in both these moments, Wednesday is fully aware of how she feels and what she wants when it comes to two of the few non-family members in the show who seem to truly accept her, toxicity and all.

Arguing that one option is better than the other because it's healthier or less toxic makes no sense with Wednesday. Like sure, ship whatever and whoever y'all want, but at least understand the characters.

this is the future liberals want

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.
