pandemic, mask 

Blåhaj knows how to wear a mask. Do you? Please wear your mask the right way, cover mouth and nose and make sure it has a snug fit. Make sure your mask is the correct size. To get through the pandemic, solidarity is key. Please keep yourself and others as safe as you can.

so much of art predicting (even live!) butterflies are actually drawn after dead, pinned butterflies in an unnatural positon :<<

first picture is a live monarch butterfly, second is a (drawn) dead one, notice how different the wing position is

Is it gay to seed your torrents bro? I mean you're literally...

So YouTube is removing community contributions, which means community-contributed captions and subtitles are not going to be available anymore.

If you have any viewership in another country, and you wish to make your content more accessible to them but you do not speak their language, or to make your content accessible for viewers who are hard of hearing or deaf, YouTube says “tough luck.”

You’ll have to find either dedicated volunteers, or hire a translator, to translate your transcript into other languages.

Which disincentivizes accessibility measures for many creators. Which is bad.

reminder that just as trans people deserve bodily autonomy and respect, intersex people deserve bodily autonomy and respect

in general:

- don't do genital altering surgeries on children and infants unless a bodily function is obstructed (ie. can't urinate or have a hard time doing so, phimosis, or they're literally allergic to their own organs or w/e)

- don't force kids to be cis, or to even conform to the binary standard in general

- listen to them!! if something makes them uncomfortable, do what you can to resolve that on THEIR terms!

- teach them about their bodily and social rights! and teach them about the history of gender and pronouns too! you would be surprised as to how old some invented pronouns are if you don't know already. quite a few historical figures were also gnc, nonbinary, and trans!

USB ports should have a little motor actuated rod inside them so that when you eject a thumbdrive it actually ejects from the computer
