Human Pet Guy is actually just a natural extreme in the evolution of a fetish porn author b/c it's a very well know fact that if you write a lot of fetish porn, you will inevitably end up writing a story that is basically "Fetish World: the World where everyone does my Fetish" and that's all fun and games but if you're a huge nerd (likely) you'll probably end up asking yourself how Fetish World could even be possible when obviously it would be impossible in the current sociopolitical order so now you're walking through all the political and economic changes that would be possible to enable Fetish World and before you know it you've spent way more time on worldbuilding than you have on writing the actual porn. Cybersmith simply takes this one step further. He thought through all the steps needed to make Fetish World possible and then decided those steps made enough sense that he would go out of his way to advocate for the creation of Fetish World in real life which is, and I really cannot emphasize this enough, completely fucking insane. It's such a funny concept honestly like imagine if someone read a bunch of Omegaverse fanfic and then went on Shark Tank to pitch them on bioengineering men who can get ass pregnant

Sobbing uncontrollably reading through a dissertation about the college experience of students with ADHD. It is like reading a report about my life that just says over and over "My experiences are real. My hardships are real. I am not lazy, I am not dumb. My struggles were not my fault, and they were not a moral failing. The failure was with the system, not with me."
Here's a line that got me in particular:
"Hotez et al.(2022) compared the health, academic, and non-academic capacities of a nationally representative sample of U.S. first-year college students with ADHD and without ADHD. Students with ADHD self-reported lower academic aspirations and more feelings of depression and overwhelm, ranking themselves lower in their general emotional health. The fact that students with ADHD scored in the highest 10th percentile for many non-academic traits, such as artistic ability, computer skills, creativity, public speaking, social confidence, self-understanding and understanding of others, compassion, and risk-tasking, suggests that this population has strengths that are frequently underappreciated in academia."
(the paper is a thesis called "Understanding the Collegiate Experience for Students With ADHD" by Gia Long, 2022)
The portrayal of white people who have been violently separated from their own culture stealing the power of black culture and music to try to get reconnected was SO literal and somehow not at ALL heavy-handed or trite. Fkn remarkable.
gotta be honest I just fundamentally don't get the concept of hatewatching. like sure I've put a dumb movie on during a get together with friends to get silly entertainment out of it. but whenever another disney live action remake or harry potter thing or whatever comes out and I have to see posts on my dash being like "boycott it! if you REALLY have to see how bad it is at least pirate it!!" I'm always like. bitch you live like this? you watch movies you know you'll hate? you take time out of your day - and you have a limited number of days on this earth - to watch a movie you'll hate, when there are so many great movies in the world that you could love? I'll never understand it.
Extremely glad someone finally wrote a paper on how AI glazers, Transhumanists, Rationalists, and Effective Altruists are all the same people and they are all just eugenicists. Something I have gotten a sense for over the past few years but didn't have in concrete terms
