"I asked Grok and..." Well I prayed to Gork and 'e said to hit 'im wiv a rock WAAAAAAAGHHHHH!!!!

I don’t like that I have only just heard the voice of the Geico Gecko nor that I immediately and correctly intuited who’s voicing him

“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political” Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for. There is no “other half”.

It’s ludicrous to see people who will sneer at TikTok euphemisms like “grape” and “unalive” using TACO and Cheeto unironically. It’s all the same trivializing newspeak bullshit.

[sees a trans woman taking out the trash from her apartment] you may think this is a normal behavior, but after a deep dive into the depths of deviantart i've found out that at least one person has a fetish for taking out the trash. i think you can connect the dots here.

I thought some assistance from family was coming this week that is no longer in the cards, so now I have only 48 hours to raise funds to cover our hotel room for next week until I get paid. Any donation helps! Sharing this post helps! Pleasant thoughts help, too! Thank you!!!

he meant causal*. There is a direct causal relationship between AI usage and diminished persistence (sticking wish a task) and independent performance (performance without AI).

Why does my cat jones me for cigarettes. There’s this, her obsession with licking feet, and her obsession with watching people poop. I’ve raised a furry Tarantino

Walking down the sidewalk carrying a paper grocery bag with a jug of milk, a baguette, and a carton of eggs poking out of the top. Really glad there's no cartoon cats around causing shenanigans. Does anyone else hear approaching woodwinds

Cats will never understand how patient everyone is being with them

the govt is subsidizing oil, gas, and fuel for a few months, and biodiesel is tax exempt temporarily, among other measures. i hope theyll be enough esp as the us and israel violate the ceasefire. now is abt the time when the wars effects will REALLY start showing up.

Abigail's hard work being recognised is amazing, and I'm proud to say I voted for her <3

*slow clap*

yes! there ARE! and ill go one step further and say that when i did organize in the us i never ran into this defeatist attitude. anyone who says shit like 'well its useless, what can we do' isnt a serious organizer and should be an instant red flag.

Every single aspect of US life has some kind of external dependency, our prosperity was built and is currently maintained via the continued participation of OTHER COUNTRIES in our economy.

regardless of if we're talking about a general strike or some kind of revolutionary movement, i don't even think the specific population distribution would even normally come up as a primary concern, beyond like, how urbanised the majority of the population is

Americans joke, very bitterly, about the fact that our government despises us. That for as much as it bellows about freedom, it was an apartheid state for much of its history and is still poisoned by that.

Putting on my desert boots; thinking, as I do every time, that I must remember to put them on slip-fashion

Anyway I had some personally very good news that’s taken a decade (a full decade!!!) to roll around so I’m gonna have a big celebratory lunch

appointment went well and the surgeon is optimistic that i’ve nearly put this fucking infection behind me. this is what i need to offset all the costs and still be able to pay my bills this month. it’s somewhat urgent so i would appreciate all the help that can be spared ko-fi.com/faerynn/goal...

A thing I've noticed among middle class people which is a pretty good indicator of whether someone actually grew up poor. People who grew up poor find immense relief in the lack of struggle and the comfort of having food and some nicer things. Whereas those born middle class like to cosplay poverty.

Some shit going down as they attempt to trim the hedges across the road??? Something just went bang??? What’s happening here lads

In hindsight, it's apparent that the far right's fixation on trans women wasn't for the benefit of cis lesbians. It was also really obvious the whole time. Everyone who thought about this a little called it.

Please please PLEASE show support to all of the Iranians in your life right now. Here’s a starter pack of all of the amazing Iranian artists and creatives I know!! bsky.app/starter-pack...

a black person in the west who defends their country, any country, over the liberation of all black and colonized people is deeply, deeply misguided. but this is an attitude instilled in them by white people, and white people weaponizing that as self defense is SICKENING. FUCK YOU

I think it wouldn't be so galling if it wasn't for the exceptionalism angle. Because, no, America is not exceptional in its oppression of people. Most people in most of the world believe they have more to lose by fighting the system than by being passive. That's how this works.

black usians have been the most internationally minded demographics in the us historically, and i include white leftists in that. during the 20th century black people were connecting with the entire world in ways their white usian counterparts simply werent doing.

i actually get the impression that usians think the rest of the worlds frustration IS a legitimate form of bigotry. the way you people are reacting, which includes throwing black people under the bus and fuck you completely for that, speaks to how deeply....offended? you people seem to be.

I do not, actually, understand the way a lot of american leftists reflexively get defensive when someone says americans should do more, because when someone says “why aren’t germans protesting” I don’t feel the need to say “I am” because I am painfully aware that most people actually don’t do shit.

You must learn to hate the aristocracy as much as it hates you. It changes shape, tosses aside old husks like "divine right of kings" and "bloodlines" and slides right into slick new shells like "meritocracy".

The residents of the Imperial Core are powerless because they surrendered their power. This is the thing, ultimately. We’re all terrified of taking responsibility, because we’re so comfortable with surrendering it. We’re the cheese eating surrender monkeys. It’s us!!!

COULD YOU IMAGINE AFTER YEARS OF BEING TOLD THAT YOUR COUNTRY IS A GIANT JUNGLE, THAT THERE ARE NO ROADS, THAT YOU GET AROUND ON VINES LIKE TARZAN, THAT YOU WERE ALL MONKEYS BEFORE COLONIZATION, THAT SUDDENLY, THAT I SIMPLY DONT UNDERSTAND HOW THE US WORKS, THAT ITS TOO COMPLICATED

and then....IMAGINE witnessing the fucking AUDACITY of these fucking people to call YOU a bigot for criticizing them, cynically weaponizing the vulnerability of colonized usians to paint you, A COLONIZED US CITIZEN, AS A BIGOT. COULD YOU FUCKING ***IMAGINE*** HOW THAT FEELS. COULD YOU.

only to be told that no actually they are *also* powerless to do anything, and that you, an outsider, should simply shut the fuck up. yes war is bad but what can *we* do about it? imagine that but it escalates, becoming more nakedly self interested and jingoistic

and then imagine that every single time that country invades and bombs another place, the same people who blamed you for all their problems also told you that youre not allowed to complain or be angry. so you get involved in left wing activism, meet more likeminded people

It is incredible how the average American will see America doing American evil Americanly and go “I should never have to feel bad that I am not doing anything about this”

imagine growing up being told to return to your own country at any minor or perceived slight, and imagine that increasing post 9/11 escalating to actual violence at some points. imagine being a convenient scapegoat for a country youre not ALLOWED to belong to.

like consider my perspective, as a black third world person who is actually also a us citizen, and what it feels like to see what you have been told your *entire life* by the same people, that you are not one of them and that you are in fact the CAUSE of their problems.

Sure does seem to be a lot of white people who aren't doing anything but post yelling at black people about not doing enough on here this morning. Weird. Oh well, probably nothing

Every Middle Easterner who knows anything is going to be warning the world that you cannot trust Israel while we get ignored while Israel triggers another war and fucks it all up again. Understand this if nothing else: Israeli politics needs war. That’s how they resolve tensions between them.

It beats kin, it tricks kin, it gaslights kin, it threatens kin, it kills kin inside & outside and it does it quadruply so if you are not a white male or white woman w/ built in brainworms This US is beautiful scenery that hides an evil serial killing monster w/ a fake “happy cradled family” veneer

We cant keep doing this & do a day to day. Everything cumulatively is too emotionally taxing and draining on the nerves for the entire whole. I hate using this analogy b/c of how personal it is to many but this country as a whole has always been a violent, unpredictable abuser w/ a weaponry fetish

One thing I would say is posting about the end of the world etc isn’t helpful when we are protected from that and people in Iran are facing a real threat
