No.

Star Trek fans, I love you, but someone’s gotta tell you that anatomy textbooks, langauge courses, and literary debates are NOT erotica

Random Headcanon: That Federation vessels in Star Trek seem to experience bizarre malfunctions with such overwhelming frequency isn’t just an artefact of the television serial format. Rather, it’s because the Federation as a culture are a bunch of deranged hyper-neophiles, tooling around in ships packed full of beyond-cutting-edge tech they don’t really understand. Endlessly frustrating if you have to fight them, because they can pull an effectively unlimited number of bullshit space-magic countermeasures out of their arses - but they’re as likely as not to give themselves a lethal five-dimensional wedgie in the process. All those rampant holograms and warp core malfunctions and accidentally-traveling-back-in-time incidents? That doesn’t actually happen to anyone else; it’s literally just Federation vessels that go off the rails like that. And they do so on a fairly regular basis.

We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.

Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.

Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.

hi, so i saw a post where you said "science says endos exist" and i wanted to ask, how? are there papers/studies things like that proving endogenic is an origin that can actually happen? if so, do you have any links to them? or any other thing where "science said it" in some way?

(i'm really sorry if this came off as blunt or like i'm trying to argue, i'm bad at phrasing things sometimes but i'm actually just trying to eductate myself since for the longest time i thought it was unproven)

I gave a few examples in a thread on a post in response to a hateful anti-endo, but they dragged those resources saying they aren't real because they claim it is just an opinion and biased. The thing is, if people say they experience something we believe them because no one can define how each individual brain on this planet works. Science says the possibility is there.

And science is a record of observation and experiences so by that alone if people say they experience something we believe it. We are tired of seeing senseless hate towards other system origins because of people being stuck on science that is set to hurt systems as a whole. Plurality is the concept of being more than one in a body, not a disorder. Other reasons people give are "Oh, why does a brain that didn't experience trauma need to stay split for?" Maybe that person is born like that. Maybe their brain sees working in units better than working as one single "unit"

Like even computers run off multiple programs. The point is as a community we need to get off of senseless hate over origin because the singlets who think DID/OSDD aren't real think we all are faking, traumagenic or endogenic alike. And also, the concept of being plural for reasons other than trauma is not a new thing.

So please, I'm sleepy, it's early and my best bet to learn about endogenic systems and other origins is to talk to those who have those experiences instead of letting yourself be closed up because you keep hearing the anti-endo echo chamber crying about them.

Our spouse is a mixed origin system. That's why we will never hate or say other origins are not possible.

Plural Systems! This is a comic for my plural friends and i hope it helps any singlets reading understand a little more about them ^^ for the record I'm not plural, im not an authority on the subject but I'm trying my best to learn more and wanted to share!

I had some help on this one from @welldrawnfish and @ralathehuntress

This whole comic came from someone in our community that im very close with but im not sure if they have officially stated they are Plural here so ill not tag them, needless to say if it wasn't for them and thier amaizng headmates i couldn't have made this comic, thier experiences have helped me understand a whole other type of experience in a way that im sure i wouldn't have been able to understand without them!

❤️💜💖💚💙💛

Just remember 60 people signed on to stab Caesar and he only had 23 stab wounds, the real moral of the story is group projects have always just been like that

"I don't want to read this" is totally valid.

"This is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't want to read this because it is disgusting to me" is totally valid.

"I don't think anyone should be allowed to read or write this because it is disgusting to me" is authoritarian.

kay so i've watched some isopod videos and i've learned that first of all, porcellio laevis means "smooth little pig" which is so damn cute

but also that the jar vivarium idea isn't gonna provide decent humidity range, so the new plan is to drill a few airholes in this plastic bin I've been keeping some of the calligraphy cards in. I can fill that with some soil, sphagnum moss, and wood chips to keep the substrate decently aerated, and I can get some leaves from the backyard for food source. I'll look into ordering some cork bark as well for a longer term item

for now tho, they're just gonna have to hang out in their transport enclosure for one more night, since i am WAY too tired to sort this out now x_x

#weve got isopods in our snakes terrarium and theyre very cute
