Rest in peace Technoblade, you would have hated the minecraft movie but you would have loved the free promo they gave you.
"red-pill" "snowflake" everything about v for vendetta...fascists really do love to steal and bastardize culture from the queer people they are trying to destroy
"snowflake" was popularized in Fight Club, a novel by a gay man. "red-pill" is from a movie created by two trans women and is a metaphor for estrogen and gender transitioning. those same women adapted V For Vendetta from the original comic (written by a polyamorous man who may or may not be queer but certainly has something going on); in both versions the titular protagonist "V" is implied to be transmasculine, and a survivor of torture and imprisonment for the crime of homosexuality.
because that's what they see in us, these bigots who are happy to consume and quote and corrupt queer-created media, as long as they can erase every beautiful root. they see criminals, commiting the crime of being queer. and they are doing their damnedest to bring back the laws that made it so.
also i miss when the joker was just a gay ass clown
Arthur: So you have magic?
Merlin: Uh… yeah?
Arthur: for how long?
Merlin: Since birth.
Arthur: And you’re a dragon lord?
Merlin: Yeah my father was and it gets passed down.
Arthur: Sounds like royalty.
Merlin: No? I don’t think so.
Arthur: Yes it is, that means you’re a noble, a lord. We can get married now.
Merlin: WHAT???
I feel like "thanks to bisexuals and gen z" deserves a place in the tumblr meme phrases
There’s a scientific journal called “Get me off Your Fucking Mailing List”.
In 2005, computer scientists David Mazières and Eddie Kohler created this highly profane ten-page paper as a joke, to send in replying to unwanted conference invitations. It literally just contains that seven-word phrase over and over, along with a nice flow chart and scatter-plot graph.
An Australian computer scientist named Peter Vamplew sent it to the International Journal of Advanced Computer Technology in response to spam from the journal. Apparently, he thought the editors might simply open and read it.
Instead, they automatically accepted the paper — with an anonymous reviewer rating it as “excellent” — and requested a fee of $150. While this incident is pretty hilarious, it’s a sign of a bigger problem in science publishing. This journal is one of many online-only, for-profit operations that take advantage of inexperienced researchers under pressure to publish their work in any outlet that seems superficially legitimate.
question! if a workplace is violating labor laws (which they often are) is there anything that prevents an employee from:
- printing out copies of the laws being violated, maybe with helpful highlights/summaries
- (and a helpful reporting hotline, if possible)
- taping these signs anonymously in the employee bathroom stalls
i know retaliation is something many workers worry about, but bathrooms at least still don't have security cameras. so is this a practical and anonymous thing to do? and if so, why isn't it more common?
They can't have cameras inside the bathrooms, but they can have them pointing to the entrance of the bathrooms. They can figure out who put them up based on what time people went in and out. It would probably work the first couple of times, but retaliation would catch up pretty quick.
Tips if you do want to try something like this:
Don't create it/print it at work or use company paper/tape - there's a time to steal and there's a time to be sneaky. This is sneaky time.
Hide the paper & tape before you arrive (purse, pocket, etc)
Do it during busy bathroom times - start of the day / during breaks when lots of people are coming and going
Be quick and silent
Don't say anything to anyone about what you're up to
- paper is easy to hide wrapped around the thigh/torso areas. which is a weird sentence to type but yeah.
- print shops (and LIBRARIES!) exist and can be quite cheap
- you can do one stall at a time (which helps the aforementioned security camera thing)
Print them as flyers then pay someone 50$ to flyer all the cars in the parking lot.
oooo or enlist a friend to do it as a favor. your brain is huge and globulous
