It’s Really Scary How Unaware The Average Person Is Of The Climate Crisis. And That’s Not Their Fault,

new kinds of homophobia/transphobia to add to your worldbuilding:

if you want your fictional society is to be less just world, but in new ways.

Sexist society that believes men are better; thus, views transmen as extremely valid, as unlike women, they have seen the light.

Gay men are honored, as with polygamy there is a continual shortage of women, and gay men means more women to go around. Lesbianism is seen as just something wives do sometimes. Transwomen are controversial because, on one hand, more women, but, on the other, some people suspect it is a scheme by fathers to have more daughters to get a bride price for.

Lesbians are controversial but only because they are seen as appropriating Amazonian culture. If you are over 6ft tall and strong, then it is okay.

Gay men are seen as too manly. That they are somehow stealing the manliness from the straight men. If woman are around them, they will somehow turn into men.

Society that "solved sexism" by dividing the world into short people and tall people and then assigning the short people to the former women's roles, and the tall people, to the men's. Now people are homophobic about two short people getting married.

people are afraid of people born in the same country as them. i.e. the opposite of xenophobia. This is homophobia. (this is what I thought homophobia was when I first saw the word)

people assume that men are gay because they have never seen a women before. People react very sympathetically to a gay man coming out because they assume it means they were locked away from society as a child.

sexist society loves trans-women because it means one less man vying political power.

I'm of the opinion that both candidates should have been disqualified for different reasons on each. (That said, Biden is absolutely better than trump if just because he's less likely to try and abolish our civil rights.) On Trump's side there's literally all of the crime. He's been impeached twice, has connections to a failed insurrection, and is now a convicted felon. He should be disqualified hands down. On the Biden side, putting aside age or mental wellness (cause those are touchy issues and I don't know how I feel there), honestly I don't think former vice presidents or immediate family members of former presidents should be allowed to run for president.

Now... all of that aside what we really need is Ranked Choice Voting and the abolition of the Electoral College. I think those two things would cause a significant positive change in US Politics

We're all fucked.

It’s that time of year to say no to the Salvation Army.

Never forget they let a Trans woman die instead of helping her.

Never forget they have tossed entire families on the street for having an LGBT child.

Never forget they tell non Christian families that unless they convert they will not help them.

Never forget that the Salvation Army is bigoted and hateful, many of the bell ringers routinely heckle and harass LGBT couples.

Me: -so after it became apparent that ‘retarded’ had become a term of abuse, educators and psychiatrists switched to other terms like ‘handicapped’ or ‘special needs’ in an attempt to -

George Orwell, whom I’ve dragged forward in time with my arcane powers because I’m lonely and want someone to talk to: You have a telephone in your pocket?  It listens to you all the time?

Me: Never mind about that, the point is, young people now mock each other by sending the wheelchair emoji - that’s a type of electronic heiroglyph - to suggest mental deficiency and shout SPESHUL!!!! while doing offensive imitations of disabled facial expressions and posture.  So any attempt to lexographically make crimethink impossible is pretty much doomed because the meaning of words in everyday conversation can’t be controlled by a dictionary entry, no matter how many Ministry of Truth employees-

Orwell: It reports your location to the telephone company at all times?

I'm curious. Reblog this if you know how to cook

I don’t even care if it’s macaroni, ramen or those little bowls you stick in the microwave. Please, I need reassurance that most of the population on tumblr WOULDN’T STARVE TO DEATH if their parents couldn’t fix them food or they couldn’t go out to eat. 

i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate when a monster is loved and that love turns them human I HATE IT I HATE IT SO MUCH. tell that thing that goes bump in the night that you love the way its fangs glimmer in the moonlight and the way its horrible gnarled claws are so gentle with you or GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!

So I've been getting into doing art and I thought it would be fun to do fanart of Kiryu as a catboy. Anyway, his little patch-beard made me think of Frylock so now here's my WIP Masterpiece Behold Kazama "Frylock" Kiryu!

One of my OCs is a smartphone virtual assistant who gained sentience, and while I do plan on her getting a robot body and even have an idea of what that robot body might look like, as of right now she is a phone. It would be really funny if I just drew a smartphone on every panel, but I don't feel like dragging out my drawing tablet right now

Ohh, so I was looking at my storage and found these! I originally shared them on twitter before yeeting the platform. Anyway, feel free to use! Art memes for your oc :D

Funky weird sci-fi story idea that I'm now in the beginning process of writing but haven't gotten very far in: Post-apocalypse, former cyberpunk dystopia The wilderness is uninhabitable due to radiation storms or whatever climate disaster we've caused, refugees and survivors camp out in abandoned buildings and the remains of a civilization that has crumbled beneath it's own excess. A little ways outside of a ruined city there is a small homestead/solar farm. Living in that homestead is a woman who shortly before the disaster went through with a full-body cyborg/android conversion. Human mind, robot body. This homestead would be uninhabitable for anyone else (anyone made of flesh) because of the radiation storms/weather/environmental factors. At the edge of the ruined city there is a group of refugees which have created a small community in what once had been a mall. The mall is liveable because it is receiving power from the solar farm that the cyborg woman lives in and operates, and that community thrives because of what she is doing. However, because she is doing what she does she must stay at the solar farm and her connection to the community she makes possible is limited. Anyway, I thought it would be like a funky character drama thing exploring community and loneliness through the lense of a full-conversion cyborg
