32, #actuallyautistic Cis AroAce-spec Eclectic Wiccan, gamer chick Amateur Astrologer/Tarot reader Aspiring singer I like [mainly non-English] music, fashion, and video games. I also have an about/before you follow page which you should probably read. (Seriously.)
so many. stupid fucking people. smugly wrong. the term . “all art is political”. does not mean. every artist puts political intent into their work. no. the guy drawing dicks on the subway did not intend any deep message by it. HOWEVER. all art. IS political. he chose to draw that dick. for a reason. society shaped what he finds funny. what he finds shocking. the fact he chose to draw a dick at all says something about his society. actually, the fact it is a dick and not a pussy is itself political. we are all. ALL. shaped by our environments. in an alternate universe a woman is drawing a vulva on the wall. and shes saying “TCH! this isnt political. stupid liberals”. all art. has political CONTEXT. that is a more specific way to phrase it. because we live in a society. who has access to art? where is the art located? who is the artist? why did they draw that in that specific location. what led to them even having the sharpie they used to draw the dick to begin with. their society shaped their tools! their society shaped their choice of subject! their society shaped the location of their art! but these people are too stupid to understand this. so theyll continue pretending that they are not shaped by their political environment. SAD!
“is it weird to do this alone?” “is it pathetic to do that alone?” every day I pray you guys realize that sometimes doing things alone is the best way to do them
Over a year ago, National Public Data (NPD), a search site for people, earned a place in privacy infamy for a security breach that revealed the personal data of 3 billion individuals (that’s billion with a “b”). Now, after disappearing, NPD is back.
As ZDNET sister publication PCMag reported, NPD is open for snooping again under a new owner, the rather mysterious-sounding Perfect Privacy LLC.
Oh boy. Better head over to nationalpublicdata.com and see if your profile is there. Then follow the handy instructions in the ZDNET article to have yourself removed:
I swear to God there has to be a tax evasion scheme involving this franchise or something. That’s all I can think of that would account for it.
Like, you need to understand that this franchise is thirty fucking years old, every single game in it has sucked, none of them were even popular in a so-bad-it’s-good way, two separate publishers have gone bankrupt, yet they just keep making more of them. Even without counting the remasters and compilations and such, this is like the seventh game in the series.
reading what you wrote about sabrina carpenter and whiteness-blondeness cultural obsession made the lightbulb go off about why white men are so obsessed with her: tswift, THE white blonde of the past 15 years, didn’t fulfill the cultural promise of delivering the dumb blonde slutty bimbo toy that men felt entitled to. white men think nature is healing because the blondes are doing what they’re “supposed” to do. sabrina is just the reaction to taylor, which is the reaction to women not following the script
I would say it’s actually white women who are obsessed with her.
Remember when Sydney Sweeny blew up and MAGA conservatives were acting like the mere existence of a blonde with large breasts having stardom is some kind of cultural win on their part.
That’s how left-leaning white girls are acting about Sabrina. It’s like they finally have a white girl avatar that they actually want to be (Tswift is pretty but not a sex pot) so they’re acting like her mere existence is some kind of feminist praxis. Very weird vibes.
Right. Sabrina talks about the same bullshit every other female artist out says. “Men suck sometimes :( but I like to fuck hehe”
Content wise- her message is not that different from Meg Thee Stallion or Sexxy Redd.
Sabrina might as well be singing “My pussy pink, my bootyhole brown”. But because she looks like the head cheer captain white women wanna be they pretend every move she makes is some profound feminist commentary. They irritating as fuck.
Just put on the bops about getting railed and not texting back and shut up.

i could not be more serious when i say y'all need to keep up on tech literacy. you cannot trust random apps, especially ones that claim to assist with antiestablishment activism.
One thing I’ve noticed about AI users is that they are completely repulsed by the notion of feeling bad or frustrated for even the slightest moment
Been trying to figure out how to phrase this nicely but tbh. I don’t care. If you’ve ever made a consistent effort at anything, you learn to enjoy and even look forward to discomfort.
Exercise. Writing. Drawing. Gardening. Anything that requires your physical effort is going to require discomfort in one way or another and you have to find a way to enjoy that discomfort, otherwise the best thing for you, and I’m gonna hold you hand when I say this, is to just give up.
Any creative can tell you that they’ve thought about quitting more often than not, but when you make it through that discomfort, when you work hard to figure out what you’re doing wrong/what you don’t know how to do, you start to anticipate discomfort because it you KNOW represents an opportunity to level up. It’s exciting to have a hard time with something, because it means you’re going to get really, really good at it as long as you persevere.
And idk, I’ve thought for a while now that AI users think they have some sort of right to avoid all of that. That they have the right to never ever feel bad at anything they try. It’s why I think “making something is more rewarding” is never really going to work as an argument against AI use, because AI users can’t make it past the fear of discomfort and difficulty.
This is a skill called “distress tolerance”!!! I learned about it in therapy, working on it for things like social anxiety, PTSD, tasks like unpacking boxes after multiple rapid moves…… it’s a skill that CAN be built. Just because you struggle with it now doesn’t mean you’re that way forever. And yeah, the skill can recede, and it makes sense that generative AI would contribute to this in a whole new way…..
I don’t have it in me right now to make a whole addendum about how to get better at it, but hopefully putting this out here can help people, at least!

The definition of demisexuality: not experiencing sexual attraction without a strong emotional bond.
The world: That’s what regular people do.
Reality: What allosexuals do is find someone sexually attractive and get to know the person, most likely via dating for a relative amount of time, to determine if they’re worth a relationship and/or having sex with. Thus, the results determine the action, not the attraction, which was already there.
For a demisexual, the results of interactions with a potential partner determine the attraction, which was not there already. So things like flirting aren’t really going to get our attention because we haven’t established a sexual attraction for the flirter.
There’s a “but” coming:
Even if a demisexual happens to develop a strong enough bond with another person, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will become sexually attracted to them, but they might be more open to intimacy with them.
Personally, unless we have had an honest, engaging conversation that makes me interested in seeing you more often, I won’t say yes to a date, even if I find you aesthetically attractive; and more often than not, I will be turned off if the conversation swings toward my body or sex. First impressions reveal first intentions.
as a fujoshi understander, as some of you may know, i have an answer for this. it’s because traditional yaoi isn’t about gay people or gay culture, really. i do not subscribe to the notion that they generally fetishize gay people. i believe this is a grave misunderstanding. traditional yaoi is an experiment involving the removal of the female victim from the sexual regime of heterosexuality, so that women feel more comfortable eroticizing said regime. they are negotiating their place in a patriarchal sexual culture. if they can be accused of “fetishizing” anything, it is heterosexuality. if you find heterosexual norms hot, then yes, homophobia is compatible with that desire. they’re putting two men in a heterosexual relationship. they’re creating a fantasy where men are sexually subordinate to the oppressors of women, and the limitations of said regime remain intact. it is both subversive and regressive.
