Icarus 🚦

whenever media even bothers to talk about the albanian protests taking place worldwide now, they exclusively focus on the environmental concerns and for some mysterious, totally not suspect reason, completely gloss over the elephant in the room, which is that sazan island was a cold war, fascist, then communist military base, is still scattered with hundreds of bunkers, is right on the way of the transadriatic pipeline, faces directly on the otranto canal and the italian peninsula of salento, where attempts of israeli colonies are quite literally already taking place (i'm serious. look up coral 37). which is all reassuring information considered that trump's son in law got the construction ban on protected areas lifted by his fellow netanyahu buddy, prime minister edi rama. this is textbook neocolonialism and if you think it doesn't concern you because you're not albanian, and especially if you're italian or european, you couldn't be more wrong.

rip les amis you would have hated the current political state of the world

citizens I checked the weather app and apparently there's one more day before the storm

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!

probably the worst thing about liking the dsmp is that it was worth it

this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.

maybe i will performatively go to the farmers market and performatively buy some flowers to performatively let stick out my performative tote bag and performatively have a nice time

stop. analyse that text through the lens of its author's intentions and original historical context. okay now take the author out back and kill them dead and analyse that text as though it were published by your mutual yesterday and is in direct conversation with the contemporary discourse that's most relevant to your life. okay now pick your favorite angle of interpretation and come up with the strongest possible argument against it. now imagine that the text is your best friend and that it means you well and that you naturally give it every benefit of the doubt because you're on its side and you want the best for it. now imagine that the text wants you dead and it'll eat you if you don't eat it first. now pretend that you found this text locked away in a cave with no evidence of when or where it came from and you have to divine its meaning solely through its internal coherence and nothing else. okay now address the elephant in the room aspect of the text you've been ignoring because you find it boring or confusing or uncomfortable and become the number one expert on it. now spend forty minutes assigning all the characters dnd classes with at least three sentences of reasoning each. okay now do the cha cha slide.

basically the best thing a story can have is a woman who is doomed. massive points if she destroys the people around her in response.

stop tagging men on this post i'm going to kill us both
