"I'll burn down your house" - legally actionable, boring, common "I told the trees about you" - legally acceptable, foreboding, unsettling, the plants know your name and hate you

"unexplained flying lights in minnesota," "mysterious drones over new jersey," "pilots report ufo in oregon" it's santa dumbass

50% this and 50% the same loneliness all modern humans feel regardless of gender but which only deserves special mention when it effects men and not, like, single moms

Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

learn an instrument, join a band, spend your teenage years and your twenties killing your bad brain cells and your eardrums with a bunch of other dopey stoners from a wide variety of backgrounds and gender preferences, you come out on the other side with only good brain cells, it's science

“Why Do All These Homosexuals Keep Sucking My Cock?”

The linux nerds of yesteryear went mad from the revelation to produce an OS that is now less annoying to use than windows.

But now? In the year of Luigi? You can forget the terminal even exists in the same way windows makes it impossible to forget you're using windows and it really, really wants you to do something while you're in the middle of doing something.

And people who haven't used linux, watched them turn into feral desert prophets, rambling incoherently with wild eyes about their mystical incantations. "My xorg dot conf accidentally ate my mouse," they'd shriek and gibber.

Everyone who used linux for more than a decade, the truly committed linux nerds, remember this. They've been there, chainsmoking while reading manpages to figure out for the 100th time whether the first or the second argument is the input for this command, etc.

But for so long, that association held. If you used linux at some point you were going to suddenly find yourself with a terminal open, emerging disheveled hours later with wild prophet eyes.

Here's a cool thing for tech-savvy linux nerds: How often do you *have* to actually use your terminal for something linux related. How often does your OS actually make you have to do something in the terminal. Not whether you use the terminal, but whether it is voluntary or involuntary.

You are not “less than” because you’re disabled. You do not deserve to suffer, go hungry, be homeless or be denied healthcare. You shouldn’t have to “prove” your worth to others. Your disability is not a moral failing, and you do not need to justify it to anyone.

Brianna Wu (under her deadname) famously called one of her professors a "sand n***er" and was threatening enough to him to get a restraining order taken out against her.

I was just thinking of this quote by Kurt Vonnegut the other night - “You meet saints everywhere. They can be anywhere. They are people behaving decently in an indecent society.”

As makers of anarchist zines, we are asking you to help this person who was arrested and is facing deportation for allegedly having anarchist zines.

I don’t understand why Hemingway got to drink himself to death while writing a manifesto in a house full of cats but when I do it it’s “a maladaptive coping mechanism” and I “need to talk to someone”

The 70s were a dynamic learning environment for me as a child. I am grateful for the many cartoons that fueled my curiosity and creativity so I am going to start a thread of them that I add to daily. First up, a 1965 cartoon that was in heavy rotation in the early 70s: The Dot and the Line:

Henry Kissinger? still dead!

TP USA is trying to run a harassment campaign to get a trans TA fired for giving a crappy paper from one of their students a bad grade. Attempts to fire trans people from jobs should be seen for what they are--violent attacks on our ability to feed ourselves and stay housed because of who we are.

Fleetwood Mac 's "Silver Springs" is a trending sound right now at least on Insta, and people are using it for ... their wedding videos and getting brunch with friends. they hear "you won't forget me" and go "awww 🥹" 🫠 You don't even need to know the background, just actually listen to the song

I wonder how many people are gonna catastrophically fuck up thanksgiving by using chatgpt for their recipes

🍂 i wanna meet the trans person who responded "don't know"

i feel this way about beers

i hate to break it to this guy but if you don't wanna eat food from any culture that has issues with xenophobia, patriarchy/misogyny, and/or fascism you are gonna starve to death.

Oh man, I wanna go play in the Industrial Works that aren't forbidden. I know it's probably weird but I'm always so fascinated by this shit when I see it

"there are no third spaces anymore" wrong. blast furnace

I take it fuckin personally man, I have to deal with this at work. Like some poor lady is like “I got a Windows update and now every time my computer goes to sleep it dies and restarts and I lose stuff :-(“ JFC

But I resent the implication that calling something “holiday” makes it inclusive, that a red and green Starbucks cup is somehow secular. I grew up in a world where these things were not expected to be For Us and no one insisted they were. Do you know how freeing that is?

What’s funny is, I fucking love Christmastime. I love the decorations, I listen to my carefully curated Christmas mix nonstop. My friend used to have a Christmas cookie party and I fucking loved it because cookies.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.
