Isn’t the dividing line a north/south thing? Like, southern Appalachia (aka what most people think of when they think of Appalachia) calls them the Apple-at-chun mountains, and northerners try to mumble it out?
One thing I didn’t expect from my new worldbuilding book is the author, roughly my dad’s age, including his opinions on furries
I’m liking this guy more and more
I have a new favorite author.
0.0 what’s the book OP?
@mageless ok admittedly I cheated a bit; the screenshots are from three separate books by the same author, Mark Rosenfelder (I’m reading them all at once). The first one is from The Planet Construction Kit, the second - from The Language Construction Kit, and the third - from The Conlanger’s Lexipedia. Basically I’m a hopeless nerd but I’ve these are actually quite accessible even without prior linguistic/worldbuilding knowledge!
This is why I honestly feel like Biden was the best possible choice in a shitty situation, even with his age and potential health issues. Because if nothing else, he is NOT REACTIONARY. He is methodical and dedicated. Do I wish he acted a little faster and with more of an eye towards progressive policies? Obviously yes. But given the choices, and given everything else that’s happened, Biden has absolutely made the best of a bad situation. Sometimes you don’t need a hero, you need a fucking repairman to come and just make it work until it can be fixed. And he’s a damn good repairman.
Okay, I’ll give him the W for this one.
The union itself credited Biden for keeping his word and getting this done. Biden has been in government for decades, he knows how things work, he’s pretty good at negotiating, and he can be stubborn which is great in situations like this
All the claptrap about his age is being pushed by Fox because nothing else is working. Drumpf is only 3 years younger than Biden, in far worse physical health, and potentially already demented based on his inability to string together a simple sentence going back several years.
So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.
Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”
It’s a reminder, I guess, that they’re coming for all of us. The fash and the white supremacists will not make nice distinctions between the queers when they put us up against the wall. There is no gatekeeping, no label-policing, no purity-purging and no assimilation that any of us can do that will save us. They want us dead, and while they’ll start with whoever is most vulnerable at any given time, they’ll get around to all of us eventually.
Queer solidarity means all of us because the fash are coming for all of us.
All Dividers are Feds. Stand united or die separately.
Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is… drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren’t joining this site anyway, you’re not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.
Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can’t keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You’d kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.
also before it starts to happen: if i see a single person calling july “gay wrath month” or saying “we deserve a second one” it is ON SIGHT. that is DISABILITY PRIDE MONTH. abled queers i will run you over with my wheelchair if you so much as reblog one of those comments.
hello! reblog this version instead!
Hello! Disabled person here. Did you know those of us declared legally disabled and collect SSI and benefits are barred from getting married? Yep! I’m also queer so this isn’t hate at all, it’s a call to action: if you love marriage equality, come help us fight for ours.
