These images of First Nations community members evacuating Collins, Ontario on motorboats are absolutely surreal www.facebook.com/reel/1548244...

So I eat salads basically every night. prepackaged. and I hate change

I don't know if I'm understanding this part of Lacan's unconscious as a language productively (I feel like maybe?) but I don't know

A sign is a chain of signifiers repeatedly recurved on itself in a way that forms a meanigful pattern, itself becoming a singular signifying package of other signifiers related to the sign as parent and each other as siblings in the chain that composes their origin. #lacan

Ok. I think a sign is just a chain of signifiers tied into a nice, tight, consolidated knot. If a sign is composed of signifier and signified, and if the signified is just a signifier from an alternate position, then all we have are chains of signifiers. #lacan

send forty bucks for oxtail i got a craving $natoudelatour

the jokes cishets know: 1. "oh, [enforcement of cisnormativity]? teehee it's gender affirming care!" 2. "a heterosexual misogynist? he must be... heh... secretly gay" 3. "when you think about it, rape is about power, so rapists are basically.. hehe... asexual not-real-men weakling f*gs"

When guys are like “that’s not rape, all my friends have done that,” that’s exactly what we’re talking about. That’s the problem. Rape is so common and unpunished that a guy could casually reveal all his friends are rapists and not see it as a problem.

If I'm understanding this right, a signifier is a material unit of speech in that it exists as written or as an utterance. The signified just another signifier, and lanuguage is composed by an interconnected web of signification in which every term is referenced by and to another term. #lacan

almost forgot I stopped drinking alcohol 3 years ago today

Kindly asking for small donations of 1 to 5 dollars for my friend, she's living in a tent and is the kind of person who doesn't ask for help even when she needs it. Thanks to ya'll she's been able to at least stay hydrated during this heat. www.paypal.me/EmeliaHunt

Slavery is not history. It's everything about now. It's everything about the continued oppression of Black folks today, & everything about why all the rest of you in America are oppressed specifically to support our oppression.

Fractals and Euclidean Geometry in Pre-colonial African Architecture www.africanhistoryextra.com/p/fractals-a...

In his influential book ‘African Fractals: Modern Computing and Indigenous Design’ (1999), Ron Eglash argues that African fractal patterns, visible in its architecture and artistic traditions, are produced through conscious acts of abstraction. www.africanhistoryextra.com/p/fractals-a...

it's actually heartbreaking and a complete right-wing reactionary victory that atheism has come to be seen as "reddit" and "cringe"

every morning is a whole new something to burst forth from

You gonna leave all the poor Black folks in Mississippi, pretty much the poorest & Blackest state, out to die saying rural life is worth nothing to leftists? That's actually a very anti poor & antiblack view to discard all the people who live rurally.

did ya'll know this

“Pray don't talk to me about the weather,... Whenever people talk to me about the weather, I always feel quite certain that they mean something else. And that makes me quite nervous.” (Oscar Wilde) 🎨 William C. Palmer “Dust, Drought and Destruction” (1934) #wyrdwednesday

In Scots and Irish lore, the Cailleach is both weather deity and creator goddess. In Scotland she is also known as Beira, Queen of Winter, and is the creator all the country's mountain ranges. #wyrdwednesday #folkloreofscotland art: Eran Fowler

It’s never too late to read Blackshirts and Reds by Michael Parenti

the yogurt I had with my lettuce salad is going to convince the bad bacteria to come to the side of the good

Jackson MS has PASSED a moratorium on data centers, pausing these developments for 6 months once enacted!! Now time can be allowed for community transparency & regulation before data center developments. This is a huge win for Jackson and proof that when we work in solidarity, we DO win!!

infected lettuce entering my body to cause explosive diarrhea

have you ever heard a voice that was like a warm waterfall through your hair

I'm gonna eat a packaged salad. I hate diarrhea. This chicken ceasar is my puffer fish

This is Amir in Gaza.

Remas and Toleen are in a weak state from hunger.

#homelesssky For Marcus and Perce.

I've been talking to Hammam for a long time and it's the first time I've heard his voice. These are real people in Palestine. Hammam is a football fan who likes the Brazilian team and he takes care of his brother Abood when he's not volunteering to save lives as a nurse. Do what you can to help!

Ik passive voice is a journalistic standard but it's selectively applied. ICE is killing people.

And then she goes and writes a book in which a rights movement is portrayed as being wrong because certain races just prefer slavery.

This is what JKR is offering to pay for a lawsuit over. Spread it far and wide.

I'm gonna declench into happy for a few minutes if that's what's coming in; the sun and the air give what they take, I'm making the best of being the revenue stream that these capricious gods need to feed their babies. i got high at lunch

feeling happyish, neck muscle loosening on right side

Heba hasn't received a donation for days. No aid is getting through and she has no other way to buy food for her children. The situation is urgent. Please help her. gofund.me/c3bf6fb78 #Gaza 🍉

My boss and his boss are taking a ride in a work truck to talk. I don't have any evidence, but I'm certain they're talking about firing me and ruining my reputation with amateurish illusion magics, which means everyone on earth but me is about to get fired, and that's still not great (I hate change)

Please help Mohammed. Donations have completely stopped for him & he desperately needs to save his kids. I know someone out there can support.

I’m Rania from Gaza, a mother of four children. Our tent is damaged and no longer safe, filled with insects and rats. We urgently need $200 to repair our situation and provide a safer place for my children. Please don’t forget us. 💔🇵🇸 gofund.me/d0cc0587

This is the usual JKR bullshit, but also Trans Widows are the worst. I’m very happy that their wives escaped them. Now I wonder about where the trans widowers’ voices are.
