Holy shit, this essay hits hard. Essential reading in our increasingly cerebral times.

Currently thinking about how the male ideal has changed over the past 25-30 years, and how the male gaze has completely taken over Hollywood. This may turn into an essay. Many thanks to @rdotspoon.bsky.social for the inspiration!

Fellow white women, we really need to have a talk about why we only platform white fantasies in romance, and how this upholds our privilege and the status quo. Because fantasies look different under oppression, and instead of finding out why, we just ignore those narratives.

Ohio is launching a combination AI Nextdoor snitching program so expect a lot of awful followed by crippling lawsuits. homelandsecurity.ohio.gov/about-us/new...

Alright blue state friends, now's your time to shine! Sincerely, someone currently repped by Ted Cruz

Fuck Ohio.

This is who you get when you want to Richard E. Grant but cannot afford Richard E. Grant.

This video went straight through the Uncanny Valley and straight into the Backrooms.

I am literally crying. This is so needed right now!

He’s whistling so loud the dogs are covering their ears in pain.

I feel like he’s lying. They’ll go after whatever social media sites they want; they just don’t want to freak people out enough to react. I hate this state.

Also a good time to remember jury nullification is a thing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_nu...

Now would be a great time for everyone to remember that EOs have no weight of law... But I’m not holding my breath.

Cool. My Vyvanse alone costs $145 WITH INSURANCE. At least I’ve met my deductible and out-of-pocket max for the year???

So people have just given up on the ideas of privacy and data security, huh.

Louder for the people in the back!

Hi dolls! I'm 🙏🏼 *finally* 🙏🏼 leaving my apartment and my toxic roommate this weekend, but he's taking all the household necessities. I would really appreciate any help getting back on my feet, a few cheap pots/pans, dishes, groceries, etc. Literally anything helps 💕 #transmutualaid #aidrequest

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

Key to it is understanding that it's about faith positions. Faith demands you believe *despite* the absurdity. The ridiculousness is a feature.

I for one am not at all worried that the most powerful people on earth have optimized my society and my brain to be ultra-reliant on the misery machine we keep in our pockets.

I was just thinking about how “we” had devolved into “I” this morning. Of how much the Right is the party of the One over the Many, and how white privilege requires you to buy into individual exceptionalism (because if you didn’t, you’d realize that your capitalistic overlords were screwing you too)

It’s literally not that hard!

Jimmy Buffet’s “Songs You Know By Heart”. If you’re not on island time while road tripping, what are you even doing???

Most Americans don’t know that the U.S. violently colonized the Philippines in 1898, through 1946. An estimated 600k Filipinos were killed in the years after U.S. annexation, to crush resistance to colonial rule.

My only disappointment about The Rapture is that many of us won’t get to see the looks on Prosperity Doctrine Christians’ faces when they realize they weren’t taken.

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

TIL There are 902 billionaires in the U.S. alone. That’s 100 more billionaires than were here last year. We should be more angry than we already are.

If you’re dropping streaming services, but still like watching stuff, Tubi is free and has tons of movies and cartoons. They have Jem and GI JOE! Pluto Tv has a good live function that shows a lot of movies and old tv shows, also free. PBS Passport has tons of shows, docs and news.

"Yet, the costs associated with owning a home — insurance, property taxes, maintenance, utilities — are also surging, causing couples like Tang and Panday to feel further disconnected from the lives they envisioned." - young people are not being told the truth about the costs of homeownership.

Finally, pay attention. There are people making invitations to join in their work everywhere, all the time. You really just have to take the step to accept those invitations. And the reality is that THIS is some people's main issue. They cannot join in [figuring out why that is is a personal thing].

Buckingham Nicks is finally here! I have a new LP coming later today to go next to the scratchy original I bought for $20 back in college. “Frozen Love” is an insanely good song and I will die on this hill.

Forced sterilization of Indigenous, Black, and other racialized women in North America is a deeply tragic - and ongoing - horror This story confronts it head-on & reminds us that the reproductive horrors racialized women face are often different from those white women face #ChoicesAnthology

I suspect we will. Colbert was great, but in a lot of ways he’s still that Daily Show liberal elitist who got canned for mocking Trump. Kimmel does Everyman comedy and was fired for saying a sensible thing about the furor over Kirk’s murder. Not saying it’s a good reason. Just that there’s a chance

Man, when your nation has to state that you DIDN’T kill someone, you are on the wrong side of history.

Just a reminder: TJ Klune bragged about taking inspiration from the 60's scoop. A real tragedy that the Canadian Indigenous community is still dealing with the ramifications of. Stop supporting TJ Klune, please. whatever.scalzi.com/2020/03/17/t...

everything went downhill when they took porn off tumblr

They aren’t banning it cos some of us call it smut. They will cos women and queer people are represented in it. And we’re never allowed sexual liberation and expression. Being upset over “some people call romance smut” is giving “no kink at pride, separate me from the freaks” vibes tbh. 🙃

future archeologists getting into a heated debate over what the fuck "blue flavor" must have tasted like

This is going to sound blasphemous, but if Nintendo did an updated Link to the Past in the style of their Link’s Awakening remake, I would preorder it the second it was available. Maybe include an updated Link Between Worlds as a double-feature so I don’t have to charge my 3DS to play it.

The thing that kills me is that men think being sexless is some kind of insult. Like, my dude, we are not the ones desperate to date the opposite sex. Battery Operated Boyfriends exist and I don’t have to worry they have the emotional intelligence of a toddler.

Thinking about starting an author collective for promotion purposes. It would have a central newsletter advertising stories from the collective. Maybe even have a unified storefront. Am I crazy? Probably. But I’m also a problem solver and need to do something so me and my author friends don’t drown

Contact info for Visa and Mastercard. Let them know you’re tired of them bending the knee to fringe far right groups!

I’m slowly getting better at E33’s parry system, but I’m always going to be someone who tanks with their face and that’s never going to change.

use any resources you have to go after these groups - bring any journalists or public figures you can on board. make sure this story doesn't go away

groups like Collective Shout need to go ASAP. they cannot be allowed to exist and operate if we want any kind of semblance of freedom of expression in the long term. they deserve no peace
