God I love illegal piracy

but see, nobody has a single, original, essential identity, we all just make it up. everyone recreates themselves as their circumstances change, everyone absorbs elements from others, everyone projects a false face because there is no true face. when your parents named you, they knew nothing about who you’d turn out to be. every atom of you gets replaced multiple times along the way, but somehow there you are, still pretending to be that person with that name. so really, aren’t we all impostors here? no wait get away from the airlock eject button i’m not finished yet

op u were wrong you can reblog this any month of 2020

Last month you can reblog this joke

My boyfriend is trying to explain cricket to me again. “He’s only got two balls to make 48 runs”, he says. The camera focuses on a man. Underneath him it says LEFT ARM FAST MEDIUM. A ball flies into the stands and presumably fractures someone’s skull. “There’s a free six”, my boyfriend says. 348 SIXES says the screen. A child in the audience waves a sign referencing Weet-Bix

tag urself im deep fine leg

I thought I had a pretty ok grasp of the game of cricket until I read this post

“Fine third man” is my gender

lizard people is the most benign possible antisemitism but for some reason it hits me harder than overtly malicious antisemitism, i think bc it’s The Case Study of how easily an antisemitic trope can just become a normal part of everybodys vocab and after that ppl will fight you endlessly on whether or not its actually antisemitic 

i think also, to people who are not familiar with antisemitism (through experience or study or both), antisemitism often comes across as cartoonish or wildly antiquated, so that people are inclined to dismiss it as toothless. i mean, lizard people is super fucking silly. or, people don’t really believe jews drink the blood of christian children anymore, that’s medieval. then its on jews to put in the legwork pointing out the use of lizard people to describe zuckerberg’s physical appearance, how qanon is modern blood libel, how easter pogroms can’t really be divorced from ‘the war on christmas’. and then, especially because conspiracy theory is now such a jokey quirky thing to so many people (”what’s your favorite conspiracy theory”) and not understood as an integral aspect of modern antisemitism, jews are suddenly The Fun Police, even tho all of these things share the same logic and imagery that drove an entire genocide not even a century ago

I really really want every workplace to acknowledge the importance of ventilation. Every workplace I know has people full in sanitation theater mode wiping down every surface constantly meanwhile windows are closed and no one’s wearing masks correctly. The illusion of safety from seeing people cleaning constantly without actual safety is what is fucking me up. there’s so many people who don’t even realize how profoundly dangerous these environments are.

I just want y’all to know that in the month since writing this post, my workplace has had three positive covid cases among staff. And our admin continues to ignore the need for ventilation.

covidstraighttalk.org has tools for unions to advocate for better air safety measures! dm me if you want to get in touch

Thank you!

Apparently 38% of Americans are planning on gathering in groups of more than 10 for Thanksgiving. I’m begging you, please do not do this. The results are going to be brutal. If you can’t convince your family to cancel, please just don’t go yourself. Or at least convince them to have the meal outside, or to make it smaller, or at very very least keep the windows open. This is real bad y’all

Thank you for this. I think we really don’t talk enough about Long Covid. I’ve heard lots of accounts of it, both from friends and in articles. We need to stop framing it as if the possible outcomes are small chance of death vs large chance of having it and getting better. Rather, soooo many people have what you’re describing.

me, a simple English pikeman watching a war elephant rampaging through Kent: wots all this then
