Something that annoys me to no end is when terfs rewrite history and claim that woman was "always" defined as adult female human because no it fucking wasn't.
You dumb ass bitches have never spoken to a black American woman and it fucking shows.
Btw, "womanhood" was originally defined by both race and gender in America.
No matter how hard you cry about it, it doesn't change the fact that black women were excluded from womanhood based on their skin color and the fact that slavery was genetically passed down through the mother.
In short, black women were literally defined as slaves and not "true women," and to pretend like woman has always been defined in one way is fucking racist and factually inaccurate.
Changing the definition to mean a woman is whoever identifies as one removes third parties coming in and doing that again to black or queer women. It gives women self-advocacy in part because of the racist history between the word woman u dumb cunts.

whats fun about barry as a protagonist vs other Morally Complicated Guy Shows is that he seriously has no ambition lol, his wildest dreams arent like becoming super rich or relishing in holding power over people, like all he wants is simple happiness, maybe career success, normal life stuff, his wildest dreams are like…. being able to have a wedding. having a kid or two. and theres something reasonable about that, it makes him relatable for a while until the show is very clearly like No dude, that is a fucking serial killer, you should not gaf! and you’re like oh right lol. it’s crazy to make such a simple desire seem so malicious but still human
#like the true success of the show is that he feels just as entitled as walter white even though what he wants is so much smaller#L + serial killer + you’re a war criminal + you’re abusive + kys#barry#but i think it threads the line a little where by s5 of brba i had 0 care for walt i did not feel any emotional attachment#and tbh by the end i didnt even find the whole corruption arc interesting because he was just so painfully malignant and annoying#but barry wants sooooo little. and he’s sooooo stupid. and hes soooo arrested development 15 year old boy#that it still manages to be compelling and he still manages to feel like a human being#not a knock on brba which is incredible television obviously just doing different stuff#idk. something about how it’s tragic but also held at an appropriate distance so as to be laughed at too#like: the irremovable mark doing violence leaves on you.. the inescapability of it… IS sad! it’s sad#and most often IS the result of social conditioning and masculinity constructs and your dads friend grooming you etc#but it’s not the prime sadness. which would be of course the victims of that violence#like. duh#walter my reaction is just. Well i wouldnt do that. I would never choose to do that so who cares#but with barry. all he wants is to not be defined by the hurt he has caused. which is something everybody wants!#but the extents of that hurt are so extreme and are teased apart so well in the show. like theres 0 apologia just exploration#anyway if im doing brba comparisons barry is literally todd

talking points about AI art that actually have meaning:
what constitutes ethically sourced data sets?
is it possible to regulate datasets?
if so, how do we do so ethically while respecting artists?
how will ai art affect the field of art?
how will ai art affect careers?
if you wish to do so, how can you incorporate ai into your art process?
if you wish to do so, how do you keep your art out of datasets?
talking points about ai that don't mean jack shit:
is it REAL art?
we need to increase copyright laws and restrictions.
how do we prove whether or not an image is ai generated?

Unbroken
Part 1
Bradley ‘Rooster’ Bradshaw x You
Summary: You (Jake’s younger sister, Emma) were gutted by the way your first (and only) relationship ended, you’re not looking for anything but some fun. Bradley Bradshaw shows up for your older brother’s wedding and is eager to scratch your itch, but refuses to let it be a one-time thing. Will you let him mend the heart he didn’t break?
*Should be able to read alone but helps to read Jake and Charlie’s story, ‘In Case You Didn’t Know’ first.
Tumblr media
Warnings: 18+. MDNI! This chapter contains adult language and situations, future chapters will have smut. There’s probable veterinary inaccuracies-I work in people healthcare, not animal healthcare 🥴TW: unwanted/nonconsensual touching/advances. Please message me if you have questions.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
“Thanks for letting me get ready here, I was afraid I wouldn’t have time to shower and get ready after that last call. Does this look okay?” You ask as you check your reflection in the mirror.
“No problem,” your oldest friend and soon-to-be sister-in-law, Charlie answers as she comes into the guest bedroom. “Emma Lou, you look gorgeous. That dress new?”
Charlie and Jake had invited you over for dinner to meet the other half of their wedding party, Bradley Bradshaw.
“Kind of? I got it at the beginning of last summer, just haven’t worn it yet. It’s too short for church and can’t really wear a dress when I’m wrangling farm animals,” you laugh.
“Well, you could if you really wanted too. I’m sure the farmers wouldn’t mind,” she teases.
“Ew,” you shudder, thinking about one client in particular you work with. “No thanks.
“Anderson still being gross?” Charlie asks, reading your mind.
“Uh-huh. Speaking of, I have to go out there tomorrow, he thinks one of his cows is pregnant,” you sigh, following her to the kitchen.
“Can’t Gav or Noah go instead?” She asks, washing her hands at the sink.
“I’m sure either would in a second,” you reply, wetting your hands too. “They’ve been nothing but great since I joined the practice, but I haven’t told them how he acts towards me. They’d fire him in an instant if they found out. It’s dumb, but I feel like he wins if he knows it bothers me. Plus he brings a lot of money into the practice. Ky comes with me too.”
Charlie frowns but then nods. “Okay, but be careful. He’s a dead man if he ever lays a hand on you,” she warns.
You don’t tell her that he already has.
“So this Bradshaw guy…Is he as hot in person as he is on Insta?” You ask, changing the subject.
“Nope,” she laughs, drying her hands. “Even hotter.”
“Off to a good start. Straight? Single?”
“Yes and yes. He told Jake he was going to ask me out but I think it was just to push Jake into telling me how he felt,” Charlie replies.
“Should’ve done that 10 years ago,” you mutter, smiling when she rolls her eyes.
“Bradley’s a sweetheart. I think you’d make a cute couple.”
It’s your turn to roll your eyes. “I’m just looking to get laid. My vibe isn’t cutting it anymore.”
“What’s not cutting it anymore?” Jake asks as he walks into the kitchen behind the two of you.
“My vibrator. I was telling Charlie I need to get laid,” you answer, forgetting Jake was picking Bradley up from his hotel on the way home.
Jake coughs awkwardly, “Bradshaw, this is my sister, Emma.”
You cringe, laughing as you turn around, refusing to be embarrassed.
Damn. Charlie wasn’t lying; he is hotter in person. Dressed in tight jeans with a Hawaiian shirt, unbuttoned to reveal his dog tags, and a white tank clinging to his defined chest.
“Couldn’t have led with that, Jake?” You glare at your older brother before turning to Bradley with a smile. “Nice to meet you.”
“You can call me Bradley, or Rooster if you want. Nice to meet you too,” he chuckles, cheeks flushed and his deep brown eyes twinkle with amusement as he takes your outstretched hand, making it look small. Your eyes flicker to his dog tags, wishing you could reach out and grab them to pull him in for a kiss.
“Who wants a beer?” Charlie asks, breaking the spell.
“Me, please, and thank you,” you answer as you reluctantly pull your hand away, wondering how his callouses would feel on other parts of your body.
“I’ll take one too, thanks,” he answers as his eyes do a perusal of you.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
“So you’re a vet?” Bradley asks as you finish your singer around Jake and Charlie’s kitchen table.
“Yep. Large animals mostly, but I’ll cover the clinic if needed,” you reply.
“Emma was always the smart one,” Jake says, nudging you with his elbow.
“And the pretty one, and the sweet one, and the strong one…” you tease.
“Strong one is true,” Charlie agrees, squealing as Jake pinches her.
“I’ll never hear the end of it ‘cause Em beat me in arm wrestling once or twice,” Jake rolls his eyes.
“Once or twice?! I was 14 the last time you beat me,” you scoff as Charlie laughs in the background.
“Sounds like there needs to be a rematch,” Bradley says, sipping his beer.
“I’m in,” you shrug, looking at Jake.
“Fine.”
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
Everyone helps clear the table and load the dishwasher. It’s refreshing to see a man besides your dad and Jake help; you and Jake were raised without household gender roles but most of the men you know weren’t.
“Alright, on 3. Jake,” Charlie looks at him as she holds your intertwined hands. “No cheating.”
You laugh at the look he gives her.
“1, 2, 3!” Charlie says and releases your hands.
Jake’s stronger than you remember, but still not as strong as you. You let him push your arm a little, biting your lip to not laugh at the look of surprise that flashes over his face before you take a deep breath and push his arm down.
“Oh come on, you totally dropped your shoulder!” Jake argues.
“She did not, you’re just a sore loser,” Charlie laughs, kissing his cheek.”
“Gym muscle just doesn’t compare to farm muscle,” you grin, flexing your bicep.
“Guess not,” Bradley smiles.
Your phone rings and you frown when you see that it’s your tech, Ky.
“It’s work. Sorry, I gotta take this,” you excuse yourself to the front porch.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
“Everything okay?” Jake asks when you come back inside.
“Yeah,” you nod. “It was my tech. His kid is sick so he won’t be with me tomorrow.”
“So you have to go to Anderson’s alone?” Charlie asks, remembering your conversation from earlier.
“Yep,” you sigh, flopping down on the couch.
“As in Jim Anderson? The pervy old fuck?” Jake asks, sitting forward on the couch.
“That’s the one. He thinks one of his heifers is pregnant and I’ve got to go take a look at her before the weekend.”
“Shit,” Jake sighs, thinking. “I’d go with you but we meet with the pastor tomorrow morning. I’ll call him and see if we can-“
“No. You’re getting married in a few days. I can handle it,” you assure him.
“I know you can,” Jake agrees, “But it’d make me feel better if you weren’t alone.
“I can go with you,” Bradley offers. “I was just going to hang out at the hotel while these guys were busy.”
“Oh, you don’t have to do that,” you shake your head. “It’s smelly and gross.”
“I don’t mind,” Bradley shrugs.
“He can use some of my old clothes and work boots,” Jake adds. “I know you can hold your own, Em, but I really don’t like that guy.”
Knowing Jake won’t drop it, you sigh and look at Bradley. “You really don’t mind?”
“Not at all. I think it’d be cool,” he smiles so genuinely that you can’t help but believe him.
“Okay. I’ll pick you up at 8.”
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
Bradley’s waiting outside the lobby holding two coffees when you pull up the next morning in your work truck. He looks good enough to eat, even if he is wearing your brother’s Wranglers and a Longhorn tee; your Alma mater.
“Two creams, no sugar,” Bradley says, handing a travel cup over. “I texted Jake how you take it,” he answers before you can ask.
You take a sip. “Oh it’s perfect, thank you. I was gonna treat you since you’re helping me out.”
“You’re saving me from a morning of scrolling on my phone, it’s the least I could do,” he replies. He’s practically vibrating in his seat as you pull out of the driveway.
“Excited?”
“Yeah,” he replies with a grin. “I’ve never been up close to a cow before”
You laugh. “Really?”
“Really. I grew up in the city.”
He tells you about it on the way; his dad died before he really knew him and much like Charlie, he was raised by a single mom that he lost to cancer too young.
“You don’t have any family left,” You realize softly.
“Mav’s like an uncle, plus Jake and the rest of the squad.”
“Jake’s not the best at expressing it, but he considers you a brother.”
“You’re telling me the guy who was in love with his best friend for 15 years but didn’t tell her isn’t good at expressing his feelings?” Bradley jokes.
“Crazy, right?” You laugh. “I hear you were gonna ask Charlie out.”
“I just told him that so he’d finally make a move. Yet he always says I’m snug on my perch.” Bradley sighs, rolling his eyes.
“Yeah…what is the story with your callsign?” You ask.
“My dad’s callsign was Goose, so it’s a nod to him. I’m also a morning person.”
“That’s it?” You ask as you turn into the driveway.
“…why?” He asks, avoiding your question and your eyes.
“I was just wondering if it means you have a big cock,” you answer as you grab your bag and hop out of the truck, eyes flicking to his groin before meeting his with a cheeky grin.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
Bradley catches up to you a minute later.
“Good. He’s not outside,” you observe out loud as you round the corner of the barn. “I’m assuming she’s the one in the holding chute. Maybe we’ll get lucky and be gone before he realizes I was here.”
“That bad, huh?”
Your blood boils as recall you the times he’s touched your ass, brushed your breasts, and the inappropriate comments he’s made.
“Yeah, that bad,” you reply, starting your exam.
You finish quickly, laughing when Bradley turns green as you palpate inside her.
“Jesus! Your whole fucking arm’s inside her!” He gulps, turning away and patting her side.
“We got a fetus,” you say pulling your arm free, and removing the lubricated sleeve from your arm. “I just need to give the mama-to-be some vaccines and we’re done.”
“You know, she’s actually kind of cute,” Bradley says, crouching on the other side of the chute to rub her head.
“The calves are even cuter,” you reply, patting her. “I’ll be ready in a second here. Just a heads up, she may flinch.”
You hum as you draw up the meds, not hearing the footsteps behind you. You jump when a hand brushes your backside.
“Didn’t even come to the door to say hello. You avoidin’ me?” Jim breathes into your ear, reeking of chewing tobacco and old sweat.
“Hi Jim. No, I’m just in a hurry. Have a lot to do with Jake’s wedding in a few days,” you reply, stepping to the side to get out of his reach, refusing to look at him.
“You can spare 5 minutes, can’t you? I never get you to myself,” he spits before entering your space again.
“No. I’m here to see the animals, not you-hey!” You yelp when he tugs your ponytail.
That’s the final straw.
He stumbles when you jerk your elbow back, knocking the wind out of him when it nails his solar plexus.
“Don’t ever fucking touch me again,” you seethe, quickly administering the injections and picking up your bag.
“Oh come on, honey. I was just playin’,” he wheezes, bent over. But he reaches for you again.
“You heard her. Don’t touch her. Or anyone else for that matter,” Bradley says calmly as he walks around the chute; but you can see his hand shaking out of the corner of your eye.
Jim gulps as he looks up at Bradley before nodding. “Alright. Sorry Em.”
“I’ll send you the bill and you can find your veterinary care elsewhere,” you reply, ignoring his apology.
Jim’s face goes white when Bradley murmurs something and slaps him on the back none too lightly before following you to the truck.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
“So that was unprofessional,” you sigh as you back out of the driveway. “But fuck, it felt good.”
“It’s not unprofessional to protect yourself,” he replies. “You’re quite the woman, Emma.”
Your cheeks heat under his praise. “I really appreciate you coming with me and having my back.”
“You had it handled, but no problem.”
“Can I treat you to lunch? As a thank you,” you ask as you pull into the parking lot of his hotel. Not admitting to yourself that you just want more time with him.
“You don’t have to do that, but yeah, I’d like to get lunch with you.”
“Great! I’d take ya now, but I smell like a barn,” you smile. “I’ll pick ya back up in about an hour after I shower.”
“Can’t wait,” he winks, walking to the lobby after shutting the door.
He grins when he glances back, catching you watching him walk away in those tight Wranglers.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
“Sorry I’m late. I ended up calling my coworkers to let them know what happened before Jim calls to complain.”
“No worries. How’d that go?” He asks, climbing into your personal (and much cleaner) truck.
“Good. They were furious,” you reply, continuing when he arches a brow. “But not at me, said they wish I would’ve told them earlier. Noah’s going to give him a call later. I’d love to be a fly on the wall during that conversation.”
“I’m glad they’ve got your back too.”
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
“Wait a minute, is there where Jake took Charlie on their first date?” Bradley asks when he sees the sign for the scenic outlook turn, handing you a fry from the bag of food you picked up from Ray’s-the town’s old carhop.
“Yeah, he told you about that?”
“I gave him the idea. Well…sort of,” he chuckles. “He was freaking out and didn’t know where to take her. Wanted it to be special, you know? So I asked what he would’ve done if they were in high school. I laughed when he told me he’d take girls to a car hop and find some place to park and fool around, but he said Charlie would like it.”
“She did. She would get so jealous when he’d take other girls out. It was so obvious. God, he’s an idiot,” you laugh, parking under the shade of a live oak.
You eat your lunch on the tailgate as he tells you about his dates when he was younger.
“…my mom tracked us down when I missed curfew and didn’t answer my cell, found us necking in the grocery store parking lot,” he smiles.
“I’m sure it wasn’t at the time, but that’s hilarious.”
“It was mortifying. That was the first and last date I got with Ashley Jones.”
“Thats too bad; if your mom hadn’t found you when she did, you might be married with 2.5 kids by now,” you tease, sipping your milkshake.
He laughs. “Nah, I’m happy with where I am at the moment.”
You smile, catching his insinuation when his eyes meet yours.
“How about you? You ever come out here and make out in a truck with a guy?”
“Nope. I’m Jake Seresin’s little sister, so every cop in town always had an eye on me. Fucking Jake,” you sigh dramatically. “It’s like a rite of passage around here and he ruined it for me.”
“You know, I’m a guy….and we’re sitting in a truck,” Bradley murmurs, brushing a strand of hair off your forehead.
“Yeah? You offering?” You ask, leaning in.
“I am,” he whispers before pressing his lips to yours.
•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•.•
A/N: I worked on this way too longgggg. I originally liked it but now I’m not sure lol. I hope everything makes sense and you all like it 🥺

I think this might be one of my favorites which I really shouldn't say when I've only read like 10. It's very funny.
Original & cleaned comics under the cut, along with details.
Translation assistance: @reunioninn
ID in alt.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
original text below the comic:
Third comic I picked managed to hit me with what I assume to be wordplay. I tried to make sure the joke landed correctly.
-
All of the below is now moot, since the issue wasn't a pun or wordplay, but the format that Robo-Ky speaks in. He speaks exclusively in Katakana which translation software has trouble translating. Now that I know this, I'll hopefully be able to get it translated into 'regular' Japanese for more accurate translation.
In panel three, DeepL translated [ ソコニ 立ツナ! ] as [ There you go. Tuna! ]. When I checked a bit further, DeepL further defined it as [ canned tuna (from canned tuna standing on its own) ]. Two other sources defined it as [ rope, cord, line ] and [ to leave, to stand, to move oneself, to stand (up for something ]. All of the different definitions and the title led me to believe that it was a pun I couldn't understand.
I decided that using a 'direct' translation would... Just make it too nonsensical, especially since I wouldn't be able to explain the joke. Since the joke is that Anji is mistaking Robo-Ky as sleeping when he's actually doing something else, i decided that keeping the beginning of what Robo-Ky says [ there you go. ] would be a... decent compromise? I did the best that I could.
This is probably what'll feel iffiest about using translation software to translate these instead of doing it myself; I know that there's something I'm missing, and using context clues only gets so far when it's a pun or the like.
But on the other hand, there aren't many people translating these, and putting requests in to those people when there are so many comics I want to see translated is exceptionally selfish.
If anyone who understands Japanese personally wants to team up with me to translate these, I wouldn't say no.
If you have a better translation, or can explain what I missed here, send me an ask or a message with it and I'll either update the translation and update the credits with your username, or rewrite the dialogue that I changed the most to fit better with the original meaning.
The first version of this comic that I posted:
Tumblr media
Leaving this in the post to keep a record. I think it was a decent guess, personally. But that's just me.
second version (it's so minor, but i felt it flowed better with 'just' so I HAD to fix it.)

Oh boy, lets open that can of worms
There's a LOT of discourse with endo vs anti-endo stuff (endogenic system=plural system not formed by trauma if you don't know 🙂). Like, death threats coming from both sides kinda thing. We try to stay out of it. But it's easy to accidentally stumble into it if you're not familiar with some of the nuance. So we want to share some observations as like, a crash course. (And apparently we had a lot to say lol.)
This post isn't really to debate how plurality forms. Just to give some context as to why so much hate is flying between these two groups.
Basically, you have 2 extremes. (And everyone in between obviously)
On one side you have people making up extra rules on top of the diagnostic criteria to exclude and gatekeep anyone who doesn't meet "their level" of disordered. (I've literally heard people say "you can't be a system, you're not as traumatized as me"). A lot of accusations of faking come from this bunch. Too much internal communication? Faker. Too many non-human alters? Faker. Too many or not enough alters? Faker. You can't win with them even if you have a diagnosis.
We've noticed a lot of parallels between this group and transmeds. You need to have x level of dysphoria to ride this ride. You can't be trans if you don't want xyz treatment. You need to reach my arbitrary bar of "trans enough". Enbys and everyone else are fakers. That kind of bs.
But on this side you also have a lot of people who just want to be taken seriously. They want to be validated by their diagnosis and feel hurt when people say or do things that they think will compromise that validity. They, at least initially, come from a place of sincerity not malice. But they fall into the trap of trying to be "one of the good ones".
On the other extreme you have the wild west. Things people treat as fact aren't codified with the same scrutiny as the DSM-5 or ICD-11. This breeds its own confusion and misinformation. We've seen people conflate plurality with things like maladaptive day dreaming, lucid dreaming, adhd, and (applying it to other people with ferocity to the point of harassment) metaphors of all things.
They have a spaghetti at the wall approach that reminds me of a less extreme MOGII (an attempt to define just about every possible form of gender and sexuality). It's a messy patchwork of ideas. We've seen 8 different labels that all mean the same thing and are being used by exactly no one. Redundancy and hyperspcificity, that's the name of the game. But frankly we like this if for no other reason than we want to see what sticks, what becomes mainstream.
We've seen people from this group attack people as badly as the anti-endo group. Openly mocking people for having trauma or saying vile shit like "traumagenics kys". They feel threatened by the exclusionary nature of diagnoses. But instead of taking their frustration out on the systems of power they take them out on normal people. After all if you're diagnosed, you "represent the system"... I guess. Equally bull shit.
But this is also where the edge cases go, the exclusions, those that don't fit into a neat little box. The DSM excludes people whose plurality is accepted as part of their culture or religion. These people don't suddenly stop being systems just because they're accepted, but they're distinctly not disordered. They don't meet the clinical definition of DID or OSDD. Same goes for someone whose symptoms are mild enough to not cause "clinically significant distress". You also have people who don't want to be pathologized or have been failed by the medical system.
So lastly, a warning: When dealing with plural stuff, it's very easy to go stumbling into a mine field.
Tldr: I would always rather land on the side of letting too many people in than exclude people who needed the support. However, no matter your in-group, some people take things too far. Like, ffs don't attack people.

It's wild to me that *I* got called a terf for saying that women are defined as non-men. Me. They should look into my terf tag to see how much abuse I get from fighting terfism, lmfao. I call them farts on purpose because I hate them so much. I fight their racist ideology and their transphobia regularly. Terfs fucking hate me 💜

maybe i'm just a theater adult (proud kys stan for 20 years) but do people not... think of scripts as being a lot more defined than an outline? like a script =/= a list of beats to hit or plot points. a script is typically some combination of dialogue intended to be spoken verbatim and stage directions which indicate how something should be physically performed and blocked and staged. improv is by its nature not scripted, even when it is planned in advance what certain elements are?

The Guilty Gear magic system is amazing.
The fact that there are like what. Five branches of magic are vaguely defined, but defined enough so that Daisuke can just come up with reasons as to why that magic works in the available system!
Like how Sol can manage a float spell in Xrd due to it being practically mass produced for the public despite him having fire mana, or how Anji has butterflies despite him having wind magic! The magic system in Guilty Gear is all about flexibility and how far Daisuke can suspend your disbelief on how the magic in the world works.
Hell, Ky mentions having learned the laws of magic casually during the Xrd story mode!
Add onto the fact that magitech, an invention of magic that stems from the Dawn of Revival that allows anyone to use devices like radios and telephones, is covering the gap left by technology no longer being around around, and you have some pretty solid world building!
In terms of magic at least.
Can you tell I’m of fan of the magic system?
