friendly reminder not to make jokes about killing other people's family members, I'm not sure why I even need to say that this is wrong

Just let lesbians do all the writing and character designs on your sexy girl fanservice game! I guarantee it will be better!

Now that we're re-federated, once more, it's Suicide Prevention Day. What are you doing to prevent this horrific tragedy?

Please stop sharing KF content. Please stop believing KF content. Never take a callout post on face value. KF has only one goal and that is death.

So, okay. This needs to be said and understood:

KiwiFarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan are NOT reliable sources.

They're not.

Their entire reason for being is to manufacture reasons to ostracize people. They are, by any definition, hate machines.

You know the saying "trust but verify"? I am telling you: you can't trust these sources.

If you're going to attack and harass someone, find a better source than KiwiFarms, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and 4chan. Please.

Do you ever think about sprite comics/ flash animations and how there's like, a whole art form that's already died out and will never get appreciation in our lifetime. Like you're not gonna take an art class and hear about the stuff I grew up watching online, because it was all unlicensed, and now most of its already gone. And it's not that I'm saying it was good, because you don't measure art by "good". There's a whole generation of artistry people poured over and it's gone or soon to be.

this is 2018's "recording is killing the music industry, we left this side of the tape blank so you can help" and I'm hella here for it

Just so we're clear, I may be femme, but I've had enough of people calling me a girl to last multiple lifetimes. You don't get to decide my gender.

Today we found a Violet Coral Mushroom (Clavaria zollingeri). I've been wanting to see one of these forever #fungi #mycology

Aww man a super weird unfolding drama in the physics community, as yet unresolved and involving :

* very surprising claims of room temperature superconductivity!
* datasets that look super faked!!
* some hacker spoofing emails from respected scientists telling investigators to lay off investigating the research group with the super dodgy looking data!!!

You want cyberpunk? Here's cyberpunk!

a reminder that some CD drives in the early 2000s reached high read speeds by just spinning CDs so fast they would sometimes shatter in the drive, and some manufacturers compensated for this with reinforced fronts

qedata.se/e_js_n-cdrom.htm and these magnificent people ran an experiment on when various media would shatter

tl;dr, if you want shards of plastic fired at you at half the speed of sound, old 50+-speed CD drives are where it's at

I should brush up on my french… I haven't really spoken french in 20 years or so

One cool thing about how fast memes and slang come and go these days is how easy it’s gonna be to date texts. The English subtitles for Yakuza 0 contain the word “butthurt,” so in the absence of any other context I can date the translation to between 2014 and 2016.

question for nb folks (boosting is ok) 

do you feel that the word "trans" applies comfortably to you? if not, are there other people who identify as NB that you mentally consider to fit that label?

i don't necessarily mean in a self-gatekeeping way or anything, but the conflation of those two terms seems to vary from person to person

i've been sort of iffy about where i fit into the whole "cis"/"trans" dichotomy but i've also still felt aimless about pretty much everything about the NB identity

I'm looking for artists who can draw mice for a TTRPG inspired by films like The Great Mouse Detective, Rescuers Down Under, etc. Small commission for promo art (the rest depends on successful Kickstarter). POC and other marginalized folks encouraged to apply!
Please boost!

relationships, plurality, advice requested 

Even if she has access, in some sense, to my partner's experiences and memories, and has access, literally, to the discord account they share, it felt like an invasion of privacy, or at least it disrupted the polite fiction that the space was private.
Is there something I'm missing? Is there a different way of looking at things that I should be aware of?
And what should I do? Should I confront her, and if so, what should I say?

relationships, plurality, advice requested 

So, I'm not intimately experienced with plurality, but I have a partner who is plural, and I am friends—but not romantic—with one of their alters. I also have a group chat specifically for my partners, which is a very relaxed, intimate space where I can let my guard down around people I love and trust.
I posted something there, and my partner's alter replied to it, and that made me uncomfortable.
