This is a blog where I collect all the trash I like.

So I've got this friend whose nervous because she's trans and dating this guy who she hasn't told yet because they've only been on a two dates. For this story let's call the friend Jane and the guy she was dating Jason. Happy ending don't worry.

So I tell Jane to bring her boy over to a bbq I'm having and she can tell him she's trans at my place surrounded by queer and trans people who love her and will support her if he ends up being awful.

She waits till the end of the bbq to tell him the news, by which point the rest of us have learned that Jason is a kind, friendly, empathetic, hard working, dummy. So we sit down, all of us a little worried about this gym bro's reaction when she tells him she's trans, and that she understands if he doesn't want to keep dating her it's no big deal.

He's baffled, so we explain what trans is, and after the disclosure that she hasn't had bottom surgery yet...

"Oh you have a dick?"

"... yeah."

He look's around at the room full of people with baited breath, his clearly a little afraid girl friend says

"Oooohhhh! I get it! You think- don't worry Babe! Watch this!"

And ya'll this man jumps up, runs into the kitchen and returns with one of the bratwurst we had for grilling and proceeds to tilt his head back, put it down his throat, hold it in his mouth for a moment, and spit it up without even a whisper of a gag and then looks around at the group absolutely beaming with pride.

My mans saw his worried girlfriend and her support network and thought to him self "Oh they don't think I can't please my girl, but I'll show them!"

I do feel the need to add that later he excitedly tell the group that as a straight guy, he never thought that skill would be useful outside hotdog eating contests.

"Man its too bad that im straight since I've got like no gag reflex and all."

"Honey, I must tell you, i am in fact trans and I have not had bottom surgery."

"My god... everything's coming up Jason."

Pure of heart dumb of ass hetero of sexual

This is actually such a crucial part of healing from neglect and abuse and I have to add to this.

Because indeed, people who like you will not roll their eyes and sigh at the idea of accommodating your needs, they will value your voice and be upset with you about injustice done to you, not at you for "being difficult". They will be happy when you find a way to live a better life, and help you to get there. If you are struggling, someone who loves you wants to see you smile, not tell you to smile because "you have it so good".

Each Benoit Blanc film takes place in a different season and classic murder mystery setting.

Knives Out: Autumn in a country house

Glass Onion: Summer on a private island

Wake up Dead Man: Spring in a small town

So the next film in the cycle needs to be set in winter on a mode of transportation.

The standoff with agents happened on Jan. 8, one day after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good in south Minneapolis. Wooten’s refusal to comply with ICE was captured on video and posted to Facebook. 

The agents tried everything to intimidate the guard.

 “You can’t come back here, bro,” Wooten can be heard in the video saying to an agent wearing a mask and sunglasses. “I’m talking to your manager,” the agent said. Wooten responded: “No, you’re talking to security, I’m in charge.”

ICE left empty-handed. Wooten said he just stood his ground, “10 toes down.”

“I was doing my job like I’m supposed to,’’ Wooten said. “If you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything. I just want to make my family safe because I’ve been here three years.”

Environmental storytelling or something like that

Interesting how the transfeminine version got marked mature literally *as* I posted it, very clearly hitting some sort of automated filter, while the cis version was untouched by the filter even though it was otherwise identical

I can't stand how predatory advertising is now.

Footage of "gameplay" that has nothing to do with the actual game.

"Playable" ads that aren't actually playable, or only let you get so far before forcing you to open the Play Store.

Games that are made not to be good or entertaining, but to be ad farms and show 30-second ads between every level, sometimes even in the middle of levels, and even FAKE "pay to remove ads" or ad-free behind a SUBSCRIPTION.

All of these are reasons I just don't play mobile games anymore. Remember when mobile game addictions were a real problem? Yeah I think they solved that by making nothing but slop since 2015.

Fake X buttons.

Automatically installing apps you didn't ask for with your phone's "security updates".

Slowing down your scrolling while the ad is onscreen.

Popping up the second you click the Like button on a legitimate video so you like the ad/click a link instead.

Videos that purposely leave out the content you came for.

Fake image slideshows that trick you into swiping into the Store/opening a link.

Covering up the entire screen bit by bit on every news article so it's unreadable.

AI generated and trying to sell a completely fictional product.

Genuinely good and creative content drowned out 10 to 1 by ads and "influencer" videos promoting products.

Videos pretending to be genuine craft videos but are actually selling something.

Hidden links that cover what you're actually trying to click on so you open the ad instead.

Movies that are really just trailers to sell tickets and butts in the seats while the movie itself is soulless utter slop.

Commercials that aren't enjoyable, funny, or creative at all anymore so they can't even be less of a burden to watch.

We're just lucky they haven't found a way to legally siphon money from your bank account with every accidental click.

Every modern form of entertainment is ruined.

do you ever spend a while doing something and then google something to realize that you have completely forgotten what normal words are
