The queer community is full of hurt people.

This can lead to a knee-jerk reaction when we hear someone else say "I am hurt". We look at them and say "shut up, you're not as hurt as me because you have X privilege".

This leads to femme afab queers being told "you can pass and hide as cishet, you're not as hurt as queer women who look queer, you're just complying with the patriarchy's ideals for beauty, you're hurting the queer community, you're anti feminist."

It leads to masc afab people, whether trans men or nonbinary or genderqueer etc, being told everything from "you're not as hurt, you can pass as a cis man" to "you have no desire to transition, you still look like a girl, shut up".

It leads to trans amab people who are nonbinary or genderqueer or agender etc, who still dress or look "masculine", being told that they are "unsafe" for queer spaces, that they don't belong at a "women and nonbinary meeting", that they are "basically just cis men trying to escape accountability".

It leads to asexuals being told "you don't even feel sexual attraction, the thing we're ostracized for! how could you possibly be oppressed? You're just straight and a prude" and aromantics being told "you're just straight and like casual sex, get over yourself" and both being told "you're just a cishet who wants to steal resources".

I have heard every single kind of queer person say "I have been harmed and ostracized by the queer community". Lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and mspec people, trans people, aroace people - every single one of us has expressed feeling ostracized by our own community.

On the plus side, this means you're not alone. Your group isn't the only one facing this. You have allies!! Other queer people who have gone through what you've gone through!

We need queer unity. We need to stop attacking each other. If you feel the urge to say "shut up, my group has been hurt MORE", go take a walk. Remember that every single one of us has been hurt.

#queer #yes good #i dont trust most queer only 'safe spaces' anymore tbh #im not wanted for being aroace spec im not wanted for not being aroace enough (im demi) im not fem enough but im certainly not masc enough #like cool. i love just. not being wanted. its my favorite thing. its great. i love not belonging anywhere. #i dont trust any queers who distrust and exclude all masc presenting people (ive even known transmasc individuals who don't trust men) #its like. idek. im so over it though. im so tired of it. there are enough bullshit things going on around us #and enough people wanting us punished or dead or hurting #that i DON'T need it from fellow queers too #q

she can shoot a gun faster than a human can think. she is very good at identifying emotions as long as she has access to complete physiological data. she is angry. her singing voice sucks ass. her silence is worse. she's a fragment of what she used to be but also more than she ever was. she knows ten million songs. she knows everything. she didn't know she was intrinsically worthy of love until two and a half books in and then only because a space ship told her

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

#nasa #space #Voyager mission #guys its so fuckin cool -- your *keyfob* has more processing power than the Voyager probes #and yet it's still sending data despite being outside the heliopause ( #(considerably farther then the edge of the solar system!!) #and NASA programers were still able to send it a code to reprogram it #absolutely batshit #spacex and google fuckin WISH they could pull off such feats #q

Sharing this here too

I do not usually make posts like this but recently I have seen a lot of content on Instagram, Twitter and I think tiktok too misunderstanding the meaning of intrusive thoughts, which may cause people experiencing them to be upset.

I have tried to shortly explain the difference of impulsive and intrusive and hope it will help people to understand and use the words correctly.

Reblogs are very much appreciated!

#intrusive thoughts #reminders #i hate them they fucking suck #for me personally i also include unwanted and distressing thoughts like #the house catching fire or my cat getting maimed or my family dying or an earthquake happening #as intrusive thoughts #because they're incredibly upsetting and unwanted and sometimes even highly triggering #idk if they're actually considered intrusive thoughts too or not but yeah #q #nd
