yeah I should poke around and see if there are any shooting ranges in town where I can try out a revolver. dunno if I'd actually want to own one, but I want to trying shooting at least

“the very concept of an “ideal recipient”is an evil in all discussions of art theory, […]For no poem is aimed at the reader, no picture at the viewer, no symphony at the people who are going to hear it.” holy truthnuke mr benjamin

If a fetish is just what makes a person experience arousal/attraction, then practically everything you've ever read or watched involved the creator's "fetish". Fetishistic attraction is not automatically morally different from normative modes of attraction.

I keep thinking about that Cory Doctorow short story Radicalized, and doomerism, and stochastic terrorism, and how many suicidally depressed leftists would be willing to take one for the team. for no reason

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Here come the line art kitties! Stretching. Exploring. Playing. Resting. I wish I could be as free as they are. #shouxinsketch #petart #animalart #illustrationartists #cat #pet #sketch #sketchdaily

I feel like this gets overlooked or misunderstood a good bit It’s not just that the world has been utter shit for the vast majority of our lives, it’s that most of us spent the first part of that life *surrounded by promises that everything it is now was everything it would not be*

The world was saved because a human being didn't trust a computer.

"it's a distraction" = "i don't feel personally affected by this". also we're all one medical emergency away from living on the streets if we aren't already there so who the fuck is even needing more 'distractions' at this point. they aren't distracting you they just want to kill everybody

The talk to your friends app and the witness the horrors app being the same app is not great for the mental health is it

lrp it's hard to believe in the arc of history trending towards justice when you're watching Weimar Germany 2 play out

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

sometimes you can really tell my sensibilities were shaped by the liminal space of cool/stupid that is shonen jump fightmanga

Making and watching porn where people pretend they're related is now considered on par with -actual recorded sexual abuse- in the UK. In case you weren't sure where puritan handwringing about kink gets us.

I did an assessment of pencil-and-paper math skills and tbh I think 65 is not terrible, considering that I don't remember how to do long division at all and I was doing the long multiplication wrong and didn't realize til halfway through

st. black is now my second Gun Guy OC. maybe I should get off my ass and learn to shoot already

if you haven't played Orangepeel, Onionskin you're missing out on some truly exquisite erohorror btw. captivating worldbuilding, beautifully bittersweet relationship, sexy and grotesque. easily my fave out of the indie vns I've played recently godaughtr.itch.io/orangepeel-o...

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

fuck Predatory is DONE. I should probably do another pass with the compiled version just to check, but all I need to do now is hit post

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

"In general, using hard pauses is rude. When the user clicks to advance the game, it's an explicit request - the user wishes the game to advance. To override that request is to assume you understand what the player wants more than the player does." bitch it's MY game, don't like don't play

I'm really tired of living like this

here's my key for understanding why people do bad things. when I was working at the bakery, I overheard one coworker telling another about how he liked to bum cigarettes off of drunk people specifically because he DIDN'T smoke, and they'd wish they had it later and he wasn't even going to smoke it

I think morality is a kind of societal immune system. it's a complete construct -- there's no intrinsic reason NOT to do "bad" things if you want to and can get away with it -- but you cannot have a functioning society with people behaving in wildly antisocial ways, so we all buy into this construct
