DevilMayCrye's Grimoire of stuff

I feel Finna flinch beside me.

"There's no point telling them," I say.

"Well, I didn't kill that old god for their sake."

Archives are "curated" according to what's called a "collection policy". That means a policy that dictates what you collect; usually along a theme. For example at the university I used to work at the collection policy was to collect archival material pertaining to the local area and its history/important figures. At the historic home I currently work at, the collection policy covers materials pertaining to the person who lived at the house.

I never really thought about it before but busses are one of the safest ways to commute to work I can imagine. I’m not ever worried when I take the train but if I had to pick which I’d feel more safe on it would be the bus.

I used to travel between towns late at night when I was a teenager/young adult woman and it would be straight up cozy and a nice way to end my day.

That really happened, in the US. Only instead of the villain being an evil cartoon posing as a judge, the villain was General Motors and Ford and all the big car companies. They bought public transit lines and dismantled them. They lobbied congress to fund the interstate highway system and they CONTINUE to lobby the us govt to keep trains and public transit from having any money, while making sure the roads get lots of it. They are responsible not only for the dismantling of public transit but also the public's perception that public transit is bad and even dangerous.

"Don't police comedy" Well. I'm not going to arrest anyone. I'm not even trying to cancel anyone in the 2010s sense of having them lose their job. My goal for comedians who make regressive jokes is for them to change their minds. And for everyone to understand why jokes matter.

the second picture shows a quote retweet. twitter user ChoppedBeef says:

"All I want is for everyone to agree with me"

to which Benny Feldman's response is:

I would like everyone to be not racist instead of racist, yes

If you say shit that's mean or racist or transphobic, some people will not like you! Some people may, in fact call you an asshole.

Freedom of speech is not freedom from social and economic consequences! Somebody calling you a dick and refusing to give you money is not the same as throwing you in a gulag.
