Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles. It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Renee Macklin Good's wife, Becca Good, released a statement and it moved me to sobbing tears: archive.is/ur35j

Since the infighting and one-upsmanship has started--people who feel helpless + frustrated turn on each other, it's just a sad fact--remember: you don't have to like the people you fight alongside. Your comrades will say profoundly stupid bullshit to you, about you, etc. Let it roll off, keep going

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

One of the most useful things a community organizer ever told me was "if someone wants to play tug of war with you, let go of the rope." The power in any conflict lies not w/ the person who initiates, but w/the person who responds. "Thanks for sharing your perspective, you may be right." And move on

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

my support goes to the people of Venezuela and I pray that they see safety and freedom from the unjustifiable and depraved actions of the US

if I said what I wish to happen to the child rapist president and the government of pedophile protectors that are using him as a front facing puppet i’d be banned so use your best judgement for my intention

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff "But what should we do when the highborn and wealthy take to crime? Indeed, if a poor man will spend a year in prison for stealing out of hunger, how high would the gallows need to be to hang the rich man who breaks the law out of greed?"

The weirdly tense connection between Yoshida and Lil' D has been a recurring plot point in part 2 that's both obvious and inscrutable. It's like a shadow in the ocean, you can tell there's something going on beneath the surface even if you don't know exactly what that something is.

something in how Asa makes meaning of her death through becoming a combination of the two things Denji has decided upon as his reasons for living- Girl and Food

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

I know everyone is pointing it out but I do think it is absolutely reckless editorial practice to cite what an AI says, especially in a headline. Grok has no authority, nor does it have a meaningful explanation for what happened, and citing it obscures those actually responsible for literal crimes.

fami's a character i've grown to love, more and more recently, for quite literally no reason i can find

this is hungry work and it always will be until they admit that this arrangement does not satiate what they truly desire from each other and hunger for

hajime is tomoaki's god and everything he does is a lustral display of worship! readying sacrifices for slaughter! MY GOD

13oct - ‘the curious and quite dreadful sensation of being forgotten’

after my reread of part two not long ago (within the last 30 days), i've come to the conclusion that i adore chainsaw man for its composition, artwork, and cinematics that set it apart from the genre due to just how grounded it feels despite appearances. i'm just not interested the same way i

aa i love the thought of fami having white eyelashes

so thanks, even though it's just a little taste

I love how Hajime is characterized (and humanized) by his hypocrisy concerning his monstrous nature… What dehumanizing things he claims about himself are objectively contradicted by the way he interacts with other people and how he’s perceived by them in a way that reveals them as self-deluding lies

it sucks that eternal cyclical fujimoto gooner/sexualization discourse has made it essentially impossible to ask or argue for a feminist reading of csm part 2 because my god it /begs/ for it and I am not nearly well equipped enough to do it myself.

The first step would be finding an understanding that reading something through a feminist lens =/= the work itself being feminist or intending to have feminist messages but I know that is deeeeefinitely not going to be very prevalent in the fandom as it is now
