That One Blog
If you are reading this, I'm sorry but there's no prize, just moderately amusing posts and things I want to find again, and you'll probably like at least some of this stuff
“the term mpreg is inherently transphobic because pregnancy is gender neutral” I hate to tell you this but in the pregnancy fetish fanfiction community they also use the term fpreg
Learning that Brad Dourif is the voice of Chucky the killer doll did something to my brain and now I keep sneaking up behind people and saying “My lord, Gandalf the Grey is here. He’s a herald of woe” in a bad Jersey accent
“I fuckin TOLD ya to take the wizahd’s staff!”
Takes a long drag on a cigarette, I can tell you things about Chucky I never thought I’d know.
Yes BUT. This specific desk is in a library so a parent that needs to use a library computer can do their work and have a little ease in managing their kiddo. In a library environment this is less productivity culture bullshit and more ‘oh this is a fantastic solution to a difficult situation library staff see 8 times a day’. Is it still productivity culture bullshit because this parent may not have affordable childcare or internet available to them? Yes. Am I glad it exists in a library environment to fill a demonstrated need? Hell yeah.
and keeps library staff from having to act as babysitters…
dear GOD we could use a couple of these. we keep crayons and coloring books on hand for the ones old enough for that, but the wee ones squirming and fussing in laps while the parents are fighting with job applications or convincing gmail’s current 2-step verification to let them in so they can print off a return label (both of which i have seen)? this would be SO NICE.
library groups have been loving this & are spreading the word & actively trying to purchase/create similar things in different systems
"going out of their way to use 'they' instead of another pronoun in all contexts" is something I run into far FAR too often as a traditionally masculine transgender man. I have to specifically list my he/him pronouns in the right place on my bio, and lead with my pronouns when I introduce myself (pronouns specifically, not other gendered terms like "man" or "son"), or these sorts of people will say "I'm a trans ally, I didn't want to assume your gender" when I tell them to stop misgendering me.
And sometimes even that doesn't work and all I get back is some speil about how singular they for everyone is peak allyship.
I did not spend hundreds of dollars and mountains on paperwork on legal name and gender marker changes just for people to still refuse to call me by my actual pronouns, except this time it's progressive.
Also i really love how antisemites are like “the talmud is a secret text the jews hide from us that teaches them how to cheat christians” when the talmud is freely publicly accessible in its entirety and is like “does it count as something going from the private to the public domain if you throw it from your window into somebody else’s window and it never touches the ground” and “Rabbi Yochanan said that Rabbi Yishmael, son of Rabbi Yosei, had a massive cock. The size of Rabbi Yochanan’s cock was smaller than Rabbi Yishmael’s, but the exact size is up for debate. Both sides agree that it was pretty huge, too, though.”
For clarity’s sake I’m not making anything up here:
Very good addition.
Goy Spouse saw this and asked me how large a kav is, when I told him I didn’t know, he insisted I look it up. Chaverim:
Good morning to the person whose note in my notifications reminded me this post exists and *only* the person whose note in my notifications reminded me this post exists.
when i was a kid i used to feel so much sympathy for Donkey from Shrek because he was so talkative and eccentric and i felt those emotions myself but tbh as an adult j would have killed that fucking horse with a stone
