There Is Something So Darkly Comical About Tumblr Potentially Outliving Twitter

cop shows are like "dammit! we would have caught babyeater mike by now if people didn't have rights,"

have i made a post about how 7 year old me thought bowuigi was canon because of a dream i had? for explanation, i grew up playing mario and i had a dream where i was in marios house for some reason. i was exploring his bedroom and there were pictures of all his loved ones, lot of luigi and peach in particular. however on his nightstand was a picture of luigi's wedding (mario framed luigi's wedding photo because hes such a good brother) and little 7 year old me who didnt even know what being gay was, thought, you know who makes the most sense for luigi to end up with? bowser.

best description of the wedding photo i can remember- bowser was in a suit and luigi was in a wedding dress being carried bridal style, confetti was everywhere, both of them were smiling, etc

and then I woke up. and the image of luigi and bowser being in love and married stuck with me so hard that i thought it was canon for the rest of my childhood until i talked to my parents about it and had the news broken to me.

anyway super happy to see a surge in bowuigi shippers. youre proving 7 year old me right every day <3

I hate queer discourse so much.

people are saying that it's "bad to support Maia (the no fly list leaker) because it's a bi lesbian"

literally none of this matters at all. queer discourse is a fake issue ment to distract you from actual bigotry and issues that affect the lives of queer people, and make you think that your enemies are other queer people.

think for five fucking seconds. this person just exposed national secrets (which should not have been secret in the first place). she is now going to be the target of thousands of people, transphobes, us nationalist, feds, and people who were exposed for being on the no fly list. are you seriously going to the people harassing it because it uses a label you were told you should hate?

I'm not saying you have to love this person. you don't even have to agree with her. but saying it's bad because of a label that literally no one has a problem with or even cares about offline is fucking stupid. either be happy for it, or ignore it. don't go out of your way to join in her harassment because of a label you hate for no reason other than people told you that you should.

Reblog if you love bowuigi

idk man frequently i talk to trans men and mascs who basically tell me that they came out as queer or nonbinary years ago, but were terrified to come out as men or transition in a way that would mean they were perceived as male even though the dysphoria was crushing

specifically bc of rejection from their communities, from other queer people, other trans people, bc men are bad and awful

like. a fella told me earnestly he read this essay about how masculinity isn't inherently toxic from another trans man and im so glad it was positive for him and gave him the courage to transition, but it was horrifying to me that he should be made to feel so disgusted by his own gender that he needed that

esp bc once you're out as queer you're already rejected by mainstream society, so other queers are all you have - the prospect of being ousted and rejected from those spaces bc you become A Man is naturally terrifying

and its literally just rad fem rhetoric of men and masculinity = evil and bad that's infected queer spaces like a festering mould. ppl do it to cis gay and queer men as well, and also just to nonbinary ppl they perceive as cis men bc they don't like their language etc, and to trans men and mascs

ppl are sometimes like. surprised. when i don't apologise for being a man and assert that loving men is natural and beautiful, and reject the appeal of womanhood or women

as if that's not queer enough when like ??? hi???? my attraction to other men IS the queerness?

King Harald V of Norway speaking at the national memorial ceremony at Oslo Spektrum on 22 July 2021 for the 10th anniversary of the far-right terrorist attack that killed 77 people – 8 at the government quarters in Oslo, and 69, primarily young people, on the island of Utøya.

Still, I have a lot of faith in the Norwegian people, for we have proven time and again, in so many difficult situations, how much we can achieve when we stand united in protecting our fundamental values. Which is why I repeat today what I said 10 years ago: I firmly believe that freedom is stronger than fear. I firmly believe in an open Norwegian democracy and society. I firmly believe that we will uphold our ability to live freely and securely in our own country. And today – 10 years on, I would like to add the following: I know that time does not heal all wounds. I mourn all the lives that were lost, and I grieve alongside all those who were injured. At the same time we should truly be thankful for the many people who are working to build an inclusive society for us all. Even as we mark the 10th anniversary of one of the darkest days in our history, all the people bringing back the light fill us with hope.

Hey, do y’all remember how Tencent said they were developing faceID AI to identify people in riots, and then they suddenly created an AI art generator to turn your selfies into anime?

Do y’all remember that time that someone discovered facial recognition cameras couldn't see through Juggalo makeup, then Facebook had a fun “see what you'd look like with Juggalo makeup” thing, and then facial recognition cameras could suddenly see through Juggalo makeup?

Do y’all remember how, on Twitter, Elon started a tirade against artists who ask for credit when their art is reposted, and he suddenly he created one of the first big art AI programs?

Do y’all remember how AI destroyed the field of freelance translation, despite the inferiority of the machine translations, because companies didn’t care about the quality of the translations? They just wanted it done for free?

Do y’all know how companies will see a lot of money going into a New Tech Thing (like, say, AI art apps) and will jump to try and implement that New Tech Thing into their tech? For example, how it felt like every big company and celebrity had an NFT to sell?

Just wondering.

reblog to make your blog smell like BLOOD and EVIL

It's either "I must do this thing RIGHT NOW or I'm going to lose it" or "the stars and planets aren't in perfect positions so it'll happen when that happens" and nothing in between.

one thing you need to know about me is that i am constantly having insane galaxy genius ancient greek philosopher level thoughts about everything ever all the time but before leaving my mouth they get filtered through seven layers of autism and come out sounding like a youtube comment made by a nine year old
