Tiger dad back from work!

“This is your daily, friendly reminder to use commas instead of periods during the dialogue of your story,” she said with a smile.

Speaking as a non-religious person, I can confirm.

How many mass graves and extinct cultures are needed to convince Christian apologists that missionaries and missionizing are inherently xenophobic?

The answer is apparently always, "At least one more."

LET me on the bed i promise i wont lay on top of you and squish u under my big dog weight please ple please please let me up i promise i'll lay only on a fair amount of bed for me and not take up all the space :3 please pleas (lying)

This is in response to something I saw a transphobe say (and this is paraphrased) about the protests in Melbourne:

"Do people really think those nazi males actually support radical feminism and women's right to speak? They weren't there to support the radfems. Have some critical thinking skills"

This person was trying to get radfems off the hook for the presence of the nazis. But the nazis were absolutely there to support the radfems, because nazis and radfems have a shared enemy: trans people.

Nazis are antifeminist, yes. But fascism will always ally itself with whoever it can to in order to promote its cause. So right now it's convenient to ally with radfems, because nazis are anti-trans, and radfems are anti-trans.

It's a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of situation.

This should be a wake-up call to radfems that maybe, being anti-trans... is fascist. If nazis agree with something you're saying, the thing you're saying might be fascist.

its so baffling to me how they made the rawest coolest Ganondorf design then made him the most depthless 2 dimensional character possible. how did they fuck it up so bad

My husband came to the youth theater rehearsal I was directing last night to work on some set pieces. He usually only works set on weekends when nobody is there, so his goal was to be totally inconspicuous. But the second and third graders treated him like a walking stim video. They were totally absorbed by his painting and drilling and clapped for him when he began or finished a task.

This is just my conjecture but regarding the Red Crescent isn’t it possible that RC staff just… aren’t able to resist Hamas forcing them to smuggle weapons even if they said no? Considering that I’d imagine RC workers don’t have any combat skills or weapons and Hamas personel are… well yknow., it wouldn’t be surprising if they’re just scared into / forced into doing it

Not saying it’s great but I’m just saying I kinda don’t blame them if they’re forced or pressured, when the people forcing you have insane hyper-extreme beliefs i wouldn’t blame them

so a thing i think people don't always get:

spammers lie.

if you get spam, they are lying. yes, really.

if you get spam from someone claiming they were vetted, the conclusion you should reach is not "ahh, this one is legitimate", it is "oh, the entity vetting them is part of the grift".

i know it sounds horrifying to imagine someone so unthinkably depraved that they would say a false thing on the internet, but i have to say, it's... actually pretty normal.

always remember that fake proof is a central component of scamming people who are careful enough to check, but not careful enough to think about whether the way they're checking is actually meaningful.
