I hate those posts that are like “crab bucket mentality ignores that crabs don’t Choose to be in buckets, they’re put there, and it’s stupid to blame the crabs when it’s the system that trapped them in there that’s the problem”

because yeah, there Are systems beyond our control and sometimes understanding that put us in awful situations that we can’t always escape. we get hurt because we don’t have the power to undo those systems by ourselves.

but the whole point is that people who are put in situations that they can’t control often lash out at people who aren’t responsible for their pain to Get that sense of control. you can’t undo capitalism, you can’t stop nazism, you can’t dismantle the government. but you Can start harassment campaigns online. you Can bully and ostracize and demonize other people who are hurt by the systems you’re punishing them for.

this happens Constantly, people hating other minority groups and justifying it by painting them as the cause of their problems or as being leeches that are drawing power away from the people who Actually deserve help from this awful system.

so people put others down in an attempt to raise themselves up not realizing that we’re all in the same bucket. it doesn’t do anything but hurt people, and inevitably yourself too.

and the very important thing to understand about this, is that it’s ultimately a choice. you can’t always control the impulse to feel this way, but you can choose to be Aware of it, you can choose not to act on it.

you can’t change the systems by yourself, but you can make Choices that will prevent people from getting hurt. being trapped in an awful system doesn’t change that it’s your choice to be kind or not.

Is it just me or should prisoners work for free….? You’re in prison because you committed crimes, some of them incredibly heinous and disturbing….. Why should we pay you for manual labor whilst in prison?

Because if you’re forced to do labour for free, that makes you an actual fucking slave.

Prisoners are human.

Humans have rights that must not be infringed upon.

and even if you somehow forgot that part, you’re overlooking the part where adding economic incentive to incarcerate more people can and does lead to false arrests. there are lots of cases where judges got exposed for taking money under the table in exchange for lengthening prison sentences and sentencing people who would otherwise be found innocent. one guy in one of the carolinas was bribed to send as many Black kids as possible to a for-profit prison. he was quite literally selling children into slavery. they were not freed when he was caught and removed from the bench

in packin camp im realizing a lot of my stuff is about done. got holes in my tent, sleeping bags, cot, and all my tarps. gonna see what i can fix with duct tape but if anybody wants to (and is comfortably able) to help me get some new stuff anything would be much appreciated. <3

got my links all in one place now

thank you for the donations so far! i appreciate yall so much <3

the-faultofdaedalus:

magic system where “dark magic” and “light magic” are literal terms - dark magic consumes photons, making an area around the spell visibly darker, sometimes to an Extreme extent, and light magic releases photons.

because of this most dark mages tend to work in very brightly-lit areas (either artificial light or outside in the daytime) to fuel their spells and wear and use lightly coloured clothes and tools so that they’re easier to see in the dimness their spells create, whereas light mages wear heavy, sometimes leaden robes (depending on the work being done) and the magical equivalent of welding masks to protect themselves from what can be an extreme amount of light, and sometimes other kinds of electromagnet radiation!

needless to say this is incredibly confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the culture

due to the fact that both magics react with basically all of the electromagnetic spectrum - not just the visible light part of it - dark magic is enormously useful for radiation protection (uv-eating spellwork as sunscreen, anyone?), but also has the slightly uncomfortable effect of eating infared as well - which does have the effect of making areas around powerful or prolonged dark magic uncomfortably chilly.

nothing that a nice fur coat or enchanted light-magic IR-emitting lamps can’t fix!

okay this is some truly genius world-building

fascinating to watch society increasingly work itself into contortions about how to make a principled distinction between boy tits (pedestrial!) and girl tits (taboo!) because even as the rigid gender binary is slowly chipped away, we can’t handle the fact someone somewhere might be turned on

some breast cancer survivors have breasts but no nipples; are their chests nsfw? if they have their nipple transplanted to their forehead, must it be covered? if i have my nipples moved to my forehead but then later acquire tits via hrt or breast implants, then are they nsfw? why is a trans man’s chest post top surgery sfw but not pre? why is a flat-chested woman’s chest never sfw? what if someone refuses to disclose their AGAB? must they wear Schroedinger’s Sports Bra at all times? if someone transitions, has top surgery, then decides to go back to identifying as a woman, does their chest become NSFW again, or does it remain SFW?

so many philosophical questions! and what a waste of human brain power and technical ability to spend it all on arcane points of content moderation. at what point does this all become such a drag on our economy, that we have to jettison our hangups or else permit innovation to grind to a halt?
