Its still so funny that they even thought to put this in the game in the first place. Yeah sure to get 100% completion you have to actively break the terms of service on purpose. This is normal
i have a story. so for the past week i’ve not been sleeping very well because i got a new job that has me on call to do odd tasks for wealthy people. i won’t get into it, but i will say that it kept me up until 4am a couple nights in a row, and once i’m up until 4am i have no chance of going back to sleep. this is relevant only because that job ended yesterday, and in celebration i decided i was going to get a full night’s sleep. like a FULL night’s sleep. so 7pm rolls around, i got my dinner made, it’s an acorn squash stuffed with sage and mushrooms, i eat the WHOLE THING. don’t even put away the dishes. leave those dishes out. take a nice long shower, get all cleaned up, immaculate. and then i get in bed and i think–and this was my first mistake as you’re going to see–some dumb shit always wakes me up, but not tonight. oh no, not tonight. i have a plan. i set my phone on do not disturb mode with the blissful certainty of someone about to make the worst mistake of their recent life, and then i get in bed. it’s a full on snork mimimi situation. i crashed, and when i say crashed, i mean that even when my alarm on my phone (that i forgot to turn off) went of at 12:33am (hell, hellish alarm setting), it didn’t wake me up. i was out. i was out cold.
i was out so cold that when something opened my back door at 5am, i didn’t hear my security alarm going off.
you should really be careful who you hang around. some girls will really try to take advantage of you. make you do whatever they want. stop getting hard
I never watched the pony show but I really enjoy what you folks are doing with those horses these days. Just today, I saw an image of the yellow one smoking a bong and wearing a “nine inch nails” tee shirt.
is this true?
Like a rare and beautiful spirit…I hope to see it again
One important thing that you should do as a queer person is to find another queer person whose brain works just like yours (romantically or not) and then adopt a cat together and then finally steal that fucking Pikachu and make it big
We have GOT to stop being assholes to people with receding and balding hairlines. There’s not a single person that it can’t affect. It affects trans men, particularly on hormones, it affects trans women, particularly those not on hormones, it affects people with endocrine issues, something that’s becoming more prevalent and common, and it can affect people without a particular cause, including cis women. It’s a normal part of being human and we NEED to stop dehumanizing and humiliating ppl for it
My bf started losing his hair in his early 20s and the effect it’s had on him is devastating.
He’s an actor and he was dropped by his agent after he stopped hiding his hair loss. The roles he was cast in narrowed and shifted from more heroic characters to villains, and eventually he became so miserable about it that he stopped going to auditions altogether.
He used to enjoy dyeing his hair bright colours, and he lost that means of self expression. It alienated him from his own appearance, which knocked him back in coming out and exploring his queerness. The way he talks about it often feels dysmorphic. He says shaving makes him feel like he’s “rotting” - like he’s “scraping the mold off [his] head”.
I’ve seen drunk people and teenagers yell at him in the street and mock his baldness. I’ve seen people come up to him and slap his head or touch it without asking for permission. I’ve witnessed this behaviour from other trans people and women who I know would absolutely kick off if he took such a degrading or entitled attitude towards a part of their body, but seem to think it’s OK to do it to him.
Since going bald people perceive him as more masculine. He feels people are more suspicious of him. Women are less likely to approach him. Folks are quicker to put him in a box or misread his behaviour as aggressive or threatening, when the reality is that he’s neurodivergent and can’t conform to rigid social norms.
Baldness is a heavily gendered characteristic. If someone is conventionally masculine enough and/or is protected by other intersecting powers and privileges (eg wealth) then baldness can reinforce their maleness and the harm to their social standing is minimised. But if their performance of maleness is complicated by something like queerness or disability, it creates a dissonance. They have what is perceived as a hypermasculine trait standing in sharp contrast with their refusal/failure to perform normative, idealised masculinity.
And that’s how baldness is typically read - as failure. Especially when it exists outside of wealthy, successful, heterosexual masculinity but tbh even there too - just look at all the jokes about Jeff Bezos’ baldness or Elon Musk getting hair plugs. It’s similar to insulting Trump over his weight. Like yeah fuck those guys but all you’re really doing is revealing to the fat and bald people in your life that you think their bodies are deserving of mockery.
And God help you if you’re a bald woman. All women with receding hairlines are at a huge risk from transmisogyny.
Sorry for the essay. Baldness is absolutely a body neutrality issue. It’s an ageism issue, and a trans issue, and I WISH there was a broader recognition of this.
