not to sound like tumblr but i really do wanna see more flawed woman characters who are fucked up in ways that impact themselves and others, but not centered around the harm they do onto men/male love interests. like “flawed” women in media always are seen as broken due to their inability to fit within a heteropatriarchal household. they cant cook/clean, they dont show love, they dislike children, they are cold/distant. and like thats fun i guess until they get fixed for a man which is boring. and its not that i want them to never develop as people, but i wanna see this development happen in a way that isnt focused on which guy theyre fucking, ya know. and i wanna see more interesting fucked up girls that are messed up in ways that are funny or heartbreaking and obnoxious or tragic. sometimes it gets fixed and sometimes it doesnt and sometimes theyre bad people and sometimes theyre just realistic! ya know!
but like that said im also really tired of women with flaws being abusive, racist, hurtful, and degrading. im not gonna write up headcanons about how the space nazi in star wars probably cooks dinner for the army she helps enslave! i dont care about the gritty realism of jessica jones manipulating and abusing a system of racism to leverage herself above the black men in her life! im uncomfortable with women who are abusive and uncaring towards their romantic partners! and yes i can appreciate some of these women being written as villains or antagonists and fleshed out in a way to carry on the story, but these arent the stories that reflect the types of people i want to look up to. and im really uncomfortable with the type of discourse that goes around insisting that i have to see these girls as ~feminist~ icons even though they reflect the same white abusive women who time and time again dehumanize and wreck me.
i dont know man! girls! they exist! i want complicated women who im able to relate to their flaws and struggles!
But is this an example of Google spending their resources on a public good (modular cellphone tardigrade aquarium technology), or should we condemn it as a strategic move to obtain monopoly in the hand-held tardigrade space?
well they’re not wrong
“It’s sort of like bears hibernating, where they need the
environmental signals to tell them to do the thing. And they need time
to do the thing. We kept being like, ‘Why are all these guys dead?’ And
it was like, ‘Oh, it was a 70-degree day. That’s why they’re all dead,’”
said Borgatti.
…
“The first time that we discovered that the camera being on was an
obstacle for these guys staying alive was a little bit of a frightening
moment. It got to such a temperature where these guys were dying off,
and if you don’t think about it too hard, that’s almost like, ‘Oh my
gosh, how are you going to take pictures of these guys if they can’t
survive for a long period of time when the camera’s on?’ That’s kind of a
mini-crisis that sort of requires a lot of rethinking,” said Gonzalez.
…
The engineers designed the experience around nudges that let you “play”
with your tardigrades without killing them with love. “If you’ve been
looking at [them] too much, we’d have a control that says, the next time
you try to open the app if it hasn’t cooled down enough, it would say
‘They’re resting right now, why don’t you see some videos that we’ve
taken before’, or what-not,” said Feehan.
softly but with feeling* what is even going on anymore oh my god kudos to the blog runner this is the most bizarre committed troll I’ve ever seen
“Nazism, when you take away the bigoted elements, is a perfectly fine on an economic level” = “I LOVE NAZIMSM! HATE ALL THOSE JEWS ALL OF THEM. I SUPPORT GENOCIDE!!”
????????????
“Purple is a nice color if you take away the blue!” It’s not purple anymore, it’s red.
Do you even know what Nazism is? Like legitimately. Not just “waaaha jew-hatred” but the actual principles and economics behind it? Do you? Probably not. I bet you just think it’s evil™
because that’s what you were taught in school, no context except for the problematic aspects which can easily be disconnected from the economic ideas. I implore you to actually look into National Socialism without the bias that it’s inherently evil.
Why don’t you just say “I hate Jews” instead of “Nazism is fine on an economic level” it saves you 20 letters
I am not a Jew-hater. I am literally ¼ Jewish. My grandmother was full semite.
terfs are just getting it all out in the open today omg
it’s 2017 and tr//uscu/m blogs are still attacking otherkin because they still think kintypes and nonbinary genders are the same thing
