I have lost fourteen years of my life to this hellsite. I love you all.
Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet
She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ how is she real
read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.
our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.
trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

Labubus are blind bags but they're also blind bags with some of the most insane dark patterns stacked on top. The online store for them has a thing where they tell you what you got the second you order it online so that you can immediately try again if you didn't get the thing you wanted.
There's also a shake feature that is designed to encourage you to buy more than one by narrowing down the possibility space on a crate of options so that if you're hunting a specific model you can verify that it's guaranteed to be in one of these three IF you buy all three right now!!!!!
When people say that labubus are the beanie babies/troll dolls/furbies of 2025, I feel like perhaps they aren't considering is that in 1995 if you wanted a beanie baby you just went to the store and bought it and if the store was out you didn't buy five beanie babies trying to get the one you wanted.

I saw something very sweet on the ao3 subreddit: someone introduced their 70 y/o dad to ao3. Their dad is a fandom oldie and is ecstatic that he now has a place where he can share all of his Star Trek and Superman fics that he wrote ages ago. Apparently he wrote those fics by hand and now has to transcribe them into docs. I just really hope he’ll have a lovely ao3 experience <3

Adorable!
weird to think we're all on here interacting with australians. any given user on ur dash could be an australian, if you think about it
“They’re trying to convince people they can’t do the things they’ve been doing easily for years – to write emails, to write a presentation. Your daughter wants you to make up a bedtime story about puppies – to write that for you.” We will get to the point, she says with a grim laugh, “that you will essentially become just a skin bag of organs and bones, nothing else. You won’t know anything and you will be told repeatedly that you can’t do it, which is the opposite of what life has to offer. Capitulating all kinds of decisions like where to go on vacation, what to wear today, who to date, what to eat. People are already doing this. You won’t have to process grief, because you’ll have uploaded photos and voice messages from your mother who just died, and then she can talk to you via AI video call every day. One of the ways it’s going to destroy humans, long before there’s a nuclear disaster, is going to be the emotional hollowing-out of people.”
Justine Bateman on AI in this article from The Guardian
“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”
Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.
Me getting slammed with notifications on this post in particular:
Americans will drive 15 hours, why the hell wouldn't we take a 15 hour train ride.
Bro I did the driving for 4 days running to get across the country. (And it sucked every mile of the way!) You think I wouldn't pay money to sit back in the lap of not-having-to-do-the-driving luxury and get all the way there in a quarter of the time it took me to do it (miserably) myself? That's vacation time babeyy! You can't read, sleep, or do your small lap-crafts when you're the one driving. Let the landspeed torpedo do the driving and the world is my dang relaxation oyster. And you mean I get to look out the window and actually see stuff while I'm at it? As a bonus? And I get to stay on the ground? You'll never catch me flying or driving again.
Wow. Talk about attention to detail.

I will probably reblog this every time I see it on my dash because it’s absolutely stunning
This is literally insane. How did you have the patience. Tell me your secrets o’ art god.
ok!!! :0
Part of me is like “neat. Reblog,” and part of me is like “I understand now why impressionism took off, because there’s a 0% chance the artist wasn’t like ‘fuck this shit’ by the halfway point.”
hey guys just here to say that the new online safety act in the uk has blocked the suicide hotline
this is extremely problematic for very obvious reasons and i have no idea what the fuck this country is fucking coming to
childline has also been restricted
if you're a uk citizen and still haven't signed the petition please do so
even if you're not a uk citizen please reblog to spread the word !!!!!
this isn't safety, it's censorship
