The Countess Lovelace always looks so photogenic right after a shed

Right, have acolyte fans not collectively written probably close to 2 million words of fic, if not more, based on 8 episodes. That’s iconic to me.

"Oh my gosh, it was so nice to see you! Have a lovely day, fuck ICE!" "Oh you too hon! Stay safe in that traffic, fuck ICE!' - two older Minnesota ladies, bidding farewell after the protest

If you're curious here's more about the chant's origin! This is all making me tear up en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_pueb...

halsey is way better than me bc if a song with my abuser was still in my most popular songs ten years later im painting the walls in my blood and saying it’s everyone’s fault

Autism is often described as a “difference, not a disability.” That framing is usually meant to sound affirming. And I understand the impulse behind it. But it misses THE essential point. Autism is a neurological difference. It’s also a disability. Those aren’t opposites.

again, I’m simply not tolerating European propaganda that America is anything other than colonial europe’s wildest dream come true

2 *read*, 3 *reading*

Here's a quick hint. Saying "Even [group of badguys] wouldn't do this" is a compliment for that group of badguys. We can agree that what's happening now is horrible without pumping up the people who have done this shit in the past.

NYPD seeks to stop filmmaker from distributing his ‘ride along’ videos. "It claims [Jordan McGraw's] footage contains clips of NYPD officers ‘which... [portray] the city and NYPD in a negative light, and if released, would tarnish [their reputations].’” www.courthousenews.com/nyc-sues-dr-...

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

basically social media is what if other people were a video game

the name charlie has been ruined for generations

"You're not ready for how much the rest of the world hates Americans" I live here man I'm extremely used to the concept of hating Americans

It will never stop enraging me that people assume they can take advantage of the disabled. They underestimate us. They assume we won’t know our rights. They think we will settle for scraps. Ableism is everywhere & society is more eugenicist minded than anyone will admit.

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

punishment is a curious concept I actually think punishment serves no moral purpose but instead a purely emotional one we punish evil after the fact not to make the world a better place but to calm the distress of victims, their 'vengeance' what other purpose does the suffering of the evil hold?

Oh hey friends, if you’re a Verizon customer and they are trying to give you the $20 desire for the outage the other day, DO NOT TAKE IT. You don’t have to even call them. Get onto the web chat, type in “agent”, tell them the outage affected your work, and say you’ve been a customer for X years.

I can't even tell you how important your work is right now the courage to reach into the vast... and pull back a vision is in itself a divinity

You may have guessed by now that I'm (still) working on the subject of #time. Currently reading up on Japanese studies on the topic. My next book is from the older Iwanami tetsugaku series, because it has chapters on "lived time", "sacred time" and the notion of time as "place."

Reminds me of this really cringy poster that hangs in the entrance of my in-laws' church.

Sliding into DMs to purchase art>>>>>

booktok is a specific kind of exhausting but im starting to feel like media spaces in general are becoming very strange

i think i want to start a reading circle. so that i can read while being in company so i don’t feel alone without having to speak at all. is that a thing?

I’m just a simple man, but it’s almost like this global “competition” for “markets” and economic “growth” has led us to irreversible climate catastrophe and environmental disaster, not to mention ceaseless conflict, human exploitation, and war.

They're like digging up posts about me not voting for Kamala. I actually did vote for Kamala. You didn't! You're in another country!

Since his socialist ideology was written out of the history books.. In his own words: "If America does not use her vast resources of wealth to end poverty and make it possible for all of God’s children to have the basic necessities of life, she too will go to hell." Happy MLK Day.

The lawyers are explaining the Constitution to the fascists.

i feel like a24 breaks records with every movie they’ve got an incredible record

I didn't learn to write by attending classes or courses in fiction writing. I learned to write by books. Meaning, I read books. A lot of them. Did that make me a good writer? I can't judge that. But did it make me more of a writer than anyone using generative AI to write for them? Fuck yes.

If people who are living in the midst of an invasion tell you that an action you are taking IS UNHELPFUL, the proper response is "thank you so much for letting me know. What would be helpful?" or You can just STFU and keep it moving. You don't have to have a public meltdown. It's OK.

my body somehow is finding new ways to collapse from stress

ai music has hit every commercial of all time

I have not met a single normal fan of Berserk

absolutely humiliating that drinking water and doing my cat/cows & bird dogs actually makes me feel about a million times better disgusting

i would love to see a chart of the disusage of all words and phrases with “trump” in it since 2016 I feel like when I was younger people talked about trump cards, trumping, saying one thing “trumps” another, etc. but i don’t anymore

If your academic friends seem depressed, we are. Our jobs are all at risk on multiple fronts. (Yes, I'm listening into a university budget meeting. No, this is not a self-caring choice.)

wikipedia turns 25 today! the last unenshittified major website! backbone of online info! triumph of humanity! powered by urge of unpaid randos to correct each other! somehow mostly reliable! "good thing wikipedia works in practice, because it sure doesn't work in theory" - old wiki adage
