i want to talk to people on here more but i'm really bad at initiating any kind of conversation and i'm pretty sure most of us are the same way so uh. hrm. ooh!

interact with this toot in any way and i WILL say hi to you. this is still not the weirdest threat i've ever made

GeneralizIng nonbinary people by their agab so you can separate trans people into two camps is misgendering

you know what this house needs? more robots singing about being trans

The vault was well protected.

It required one riddle to be solved, three magic amulets, five statues rearranged and a fierce guardian beast to be slain.

The riddle was easy, by this point it was almost commonly known. The amulets were precisely duplicated from molds. The statues required muscle, wit and patience.

The guardian's blood was needed to unlock the final door.

But as an animal lover, I was thankful C4 worked just as well.

i have discovered the wheelchair drone. it's bothering me. bc it doesn't wheels. and i understand that having legs makes it better at like, stairs and shit, but i wanted a actual wheelchair for this

a straight man: I thought you said you were going to help me crossdress

me, handing him a binder: yeah, Sam, that's what we're fucking doing

him, confused: My name is Ja—

me, handing him slacks and a set of suspenders: no, your name is Sam, got it? it's short for Samantha

me at 24: the hardest part of polyamory is managing jealousy

me at 32: the hardest part of polyamory is not getting the wires crossed while texting with more than one person and accidentally being super horny at the girlfriend who is just trying to talk to me about video games

I think it goes to show how immature our field is, when software engineers can work for decades without learning how to make their apps usable by blind or otherwise disabled people. Imagine if architects designed buildings without wheelchair ramps, or if civil engineers designed crosswalks without grooves or curb cuts.

They used to! And it was super dangerous! But now there are regulations forcing the engineers to figure this stuff out. I imagine accessibility will be the same in the future.

on the one hand, you can make a wheelchair-bound character and they automatically come with a free wheelchair
on the other hand, there's no formal stats for the wheelchair so there's not actually a way to customise it per raw

hear me out: kiss six billion demons

(the crowd goes wild)

it's weird how everyone outside of leftist circles seems willfully committed to fundamentally misunderstanding what anarchy is, almost like there's been decades of propaganda to paint it as-- *falls asleep for 1000 years because im just so tired*

lmao @ the fact that even to this day the british press refuses to call margret thatcher out for the violent monster that she was, and will only rarely go as far to call her a "divisive figure"

David Graeber "On the Invention of Money", anthropology 

"Anthropologists gradually fanned out into the world and began directly observing how economies where money was not used (or anyway, not used for everyday transactions) actually worked.

What they discovered was an at first bewildering variety of arrangements, ranging from competitive gift-giving to communal stockpiling to places where economic relations centered on neighbors trying to guess each other’s dreams. What they never found was any place, anywhere, where economic relations between members of community took the form economists predicted: “I’ll give you twenty chickens for that cow.”

Hence in the definitive anthropological work on the subject, Cambridge anthropology professor Caroline Humphrey concludes, “No example of a barter economy, pure and simple, has ever been described, let alone the emergence from it of money; all available ethnography suggests that there never has been such a thing”"
