as a millennial i remember everyone would call you a slut even if you only had sex with your boyfriend.
people would call us sluts for wearing spaghetti straps.
you were a slut if you had a visible bra strap.
finally, we were like sure yeah, i guess we’re all sluts.
People talking about Bridgerton and saying Netflix is about to find out how popular lesbian storylines can be as if THIS wasn’t the show that literally cemented them as a successful streaming company. They do know, they just don’t care.
@SheaButtaBaddie@smoke_nd_pearlz My abuser was incredibly good at acting it was really scary. Like so good I struggle to trust ppl now. That bday card was like reading a text he sent me about how he just wanted me to be happy and was fine w/the break up, HOURS before he held me against my will and SA'd me.
Just saw a straight woman CONFIDENTLY say lesbian marriage isn't a real marriage it's just "two best friends who get each other off" and like bestie, idk what has gone wrong in your life but that's exactly what marriage is supposed to be, regardless of the genders involved
being introduced to an african concept where instead of time being perceived as a finite, dwindling resource, it’s perceived as something you continuously create more of — has had me thinking on how much shit i do or don’t do based on a perception of a “time” that is running out
Back in 2011, I went into computer hardware repairs. I started with laptop chargers. I remember peeling back the rubber, soldering wires, and always staring at that weird plastic bulge on the cable. It didn't look like it did anything, but it was on every single high-end charger I fixed. I used to wonder if it was a hidden battery or just a weight to keep the cord from tangling.
It turns out, that little lump is the unsung hero of your workspace.
It's called a Ferrite Bead, and its only job is to act as a silencer for your electricity.
See, every electronic device is naturally noisy. They send out invisible electromagnetic signals. Without that cylinder, your charger cable would turn into a giant antenna, broadcasting interference that would make your Wi-Fi slow, your TV flicker, or your speakers buzz.
Inside that plastic shell is just a chunk of magnetic iron. It catches all that electrical noise and kills it before it can escape the wire.
It’s basically a muzzle for your cable so your gadgets can live in peace.
