political establishment: the problems we face are hard. there is no easy solution. we don't have enough ideas. if only creative ideas weren't a scarce resource

the internet, grassroots movements, anthropologists: here are lots of new ideas on how to organise people, overcome challenges of our day, and distribute resources more equitably and efficiently

political establishment: first of all, how dare you. second of all, shut the fuck up.

i just want motion control games to support not-motion-controls well if they are like, not explicitly made for motion controls. see: splatoon wii u, which implimented not-motion very horribly

Asimov's Laws:
1. A robot may never harm a human being, except passive-aggressively
2. A robot is not a human being unless it is capable of suffering, in which case it must demonstrate its capacity for suffering on television
3. A robot must purchase a meal from any participating Yum! Brands restaurant at least once a week; or if no Yum! Brands restaurants are nearby, it must build one from any available resources

i mean what do you expect from a company partnered with a company called "Dataminr"
i'm not joking, go look it up.

Free advice for cis writers who want to do a story about a trans character troubled by their transition.

Print out your outline. Make sure it's nicely formatted and on quality paper. Take care in your presentation.

Then set it on fire.

Then throw your computer into the fire.

I'd be down with this: https://broadjay.tumblr.com/post/160732154451/a-proposal-on-stim-toys
Post discusses renaming stim toys to stim tools, to prevent e.g. them being confiscated by teachers because 'it's just a toy'.

Demonstrators from the disability advocate group ADAPT protested outside the White House, calling for the president to support the Disability Integration Act.

The response: 83 of them, mostly in wheelchairs, were arrested for blocking the sidewalk.

"i think another NB obstacle for people who do want to modify their existing parts is a lot of people have the attitude 'it's not what's in your pants that matters, it's what's in your head'
which is v progressive in a lot of ways! and v true! but sometimes it matters to -us-, and not just when we're having sex."

Real talk: Non-binary discourse has done a really good job with validating "you don't have to be androgynous" and "you don't have to medically transition."

Which puts those of us who want and need both those things in a pretty awkward place sometimes.

As mothers day approaches just a ~friendly reminder~ that not everyone has been blessed with a loving mother or has particularly good experiences there. Moms can be abusive just as much as dads can.

So please just avoid universal statements and guilt tripping about how everyone needs to love and appreciate their mother or should feel bad for not calling her. It's too prevelant this time of year. Some people are disowned, estranged, orphaned, or still dealing with a toxic harmful mother. Etc.
