Ronny D posting MPREG fics on main.
look, not to be a downer, but… why are we making omegaverse jokes about this.
this article is about how Ron DeSantis is leveraging people’s hatred for trans men to fundraise for his presidential campaign:
DeSantis has leaned heavily into the culture war issues — which have become central to his campaign — such as the repeated emails mocking the idea of men getting pregnant. Some transgender men do become pregnant. DeSantis also sent more emails mentioning “woke” than any other candidate.
I know people love “haha omegaverse” jokes but. I REALLY need people to realize that its a microagression against trans men. Pregnant men can face extreme amounts of transphobia, and are in a highly vulnerable situation, and they are being used as a symbol of wokeness by Florida’s fascist wannabe. And it makes me upset to see other trans people seeming to not take this seriously.
Like. ask yourselves why “pregnant men” immediately conjures jokes and absurdity to you, instead of real people that exist and who Ron DeSantis hates? When you see “pregnant man” and your first thoughts are omegaverse porn and “cis men getting pregnant,” you are also mocking the idea of men getting pregnant. And you do so while erasing trans men from the conversation. You make male pregnancy into an absurdist joke about cis men instead of a reality for trans men.
There doesn’t seem to be a single person in the notes of this post who has mentioned trans men. Its just jokes about heat suppressants. People acted shocked and bewildered by the idea of a pregnant man. On “the trans website.” That fucking hurts.
A pregnant trans man was very recently on the cover of a magazine & received a ton of backlash. Pregnant men are accused of child abuse & child molestation for simply being a trans father, and I’ve seen many people specifically say that trans fathers who have been/are on T will “poison” their children. Ignorance about men being pregnant can have real fatal consequences. Transphobia make it a traumatizing process. Pregnant trans men face workplace discrimination. Trans men who are pregnant are in heavy contact with the transphobic medical system which leaves them extremely vulnerable to abuse. This doesn’t even get into trans men and abortion access. There are already people who think pregnant trans men need to have their children taken away. Ron DeSantis is using them specifically to foster hatred and get money. This is serious.
I cannot feel safe around people for whom “pregnant man” is nothing but an absurdist punchline. It hurts to see other trans people erasing transmascs from the discussion, especially when this article is SPECIFICALLY about how DeSantis is emailing people to say “hey, don’t you think pregnant "men” are delusional and a threat to American society? Me too! Give me money so I can terrorize them via the government!“ This is not the first time I’ve seen people do this with pregnant men (immediately jumping to "haha pregnant cis men!! omegaverse!!” jokes without even mentioning trans men at all. Even though we are men that can and do get pregnant. In real life. And are abused for it) but its the first time I’ve seen it done in response to a very clear act of targeted anti-transmasculinity, and this. Hurts.
I don’t know how y'all think you can combat transphobia if you can’t take seriously the issue of male pregnancy. Because transphobes are clearly very interesting in using pregnant men as a weapon, and I would hope y'all would step up for them. We have to acknowledge that the “haha thats so weird and absurd and gross!!!” response to male pregnancy is transphobic and it hurts trans men a lot.

Family owned Italian firm invents solar panels that mimic terracotta tiles to restore heritage buildings
In a small workshop near Vicenza, Italy, artisans make traditional-looking roofing tiles with a hidden difference: Each module contains solar photovoltaic cells.
The Invisible Solar Rooftile is made by an unique indivisible piece, with a very high resistance, that hides and protects the photovoltaic cells that are incorporated inside
The family-owned company that makes the tiles, Dyaqua, started developing its “Invisible Solar” products more than a decade ago. Solar panels “were spreading much faster than before, and our first thought was about heritage cities like Vicenza,” says company spokesperson Elisa Quagliato. The city, a World Heritage Site, is covered in a sea of red terra-cotta roofs.
The tiles have been installed at Pompeii (where the director of the archaeological park says they look “exactly like the terra-cotta tiles used by the Romans”) and in the small Italian town of Vicoforte. A larger installation will soon begin in Evora, Portugal, as part of an EU-funded project that aims to help historic cities “become greener, smarter, and more livable while respecting their cultural heritage.”
The same approach can be used to hide solar in other materials that look like stone, concrete, or wood, and incorporated into walls or patios, not just roofs. And it’s a way to potentially add solar where it wouldn’t otherwise be used.

None Of You Know What Haiku Are
I’m going to preface this by saying that i am not an expert in ANY form of poetry, just an enthusiast. Also, this post is… really long. Too long? Definitely too long. Whoops! I love poetry.
If you ask most English-speaking people (
or haiku-bot) what a haiku is, they would probably say that it’s a form of poetry that has 3 lines, with 5, and then 7, and then 5 syllables in them. That’s certainly what I was taught in school when we did our scant poetry unit, but since… idk elementary school when I learned that, I’ve learned that that’s actually a pretty inaccurate definition of haiku. And I think that inaccurate definition is a big part of why most people (myself included until relatively recently!) think that haiku are kind of… dumb? unimpressive? simple and boring? I mean, if you can just put any words with the right number of syllables into 3 lines, what makes it special?Well, let me get into why the 5-7-5 understanding of haiku is wrong, and also what makes haiku so special (with examples)!

oh you’re in a horror film/book and your phone died/has no bars? how boring. I think phones in horror SHOULD work. they should ding only to have the protagonist check and find nothing. they should get calls from somebody you don’t know but is still somehow in your contacts. google maps should lead you to one place, no matter what address you type in.
phones are such a big part of our daily lives, removing them from horror removes the horror from our experience. what if the horror felt like it could happen to you, right here, right now? what if it felt like it was already happening?
call 911 and something that is definitely not a person picks up.
call 911 and get an operator only for the call to become increasingly weirder and more sinister until you realize that whatever picked up is not there to help.
text messages from someone who’s dead. voicemails that sound like dead air until you turn the volume all the way up.
emergency alerts for weather that doesn’t happen on earth.
Your phone rings - but it’s your phone number on the screen. You answer it, but all you hear is heavy, laboured breathing. You go to say something, only to hear your voice on the other end tell you “It’s too late,” and hang up.
You get a message from a number you don’t recognise. It’s a picture of you from behind. You turn and see there’s nobody there. When you look back at your phone, you see the sender has sent another text - “Sorry, wrong number.”
Your phone rings - it’s a private number. You answer it, only to feel the sensation of something licking your ear.
You wake up to find a voicemail. You play it back, only to hear an autotuned version of your own voice reciting a Bible passage - 1 Peter 2: 18-20.
You get an emergency alert. It says “I’m sorry.”

someone you order from on ebay or whatever putting a handwritten note with the item for no reason at all except to sincerely say thank you and hope it arrived safely
good GOD when they do that and also include additional stuff like stickers or candy or another random item you did not order but they assumed you’d like “just because”…..
When they have tiny doodles on the notes or box
