Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.
Do you mean community as in "broad coalition of people united by some shared material interests" or do you mean "Discord server"
Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;
Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.
To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.
So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.
I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.
They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.
In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.
Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'
I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!
okay i promise i'm only going to do this the one time. I promise I'm not going to continue to be annoying about this. but i am sharing my instagram post to tumblr because idk why not yolo. maybe this will actually be useful to somebody. and more can be found on the world's most cursed website/app.
hello again! there is now a free ebook version of this with additional tips, ideas, and thoughts on the subject of dog parenting while chronically ill (written by a dog trainer with chronic illness). It's pay-what-you-want (including the low low price of $0) and you can get it at the above link on Ko-fi.
@millenniallust4death I thought youd appreciate/be interested in this
sounds very similar to a radio story i heard in 2014 ago about credit card debt. the debt got sold to a collection company and a couple received a court summons. they knew they had taken on debt, but they were confused about who this new company was and where specifically the number they were supposed to owe came from.
they show up in court and just ask the lawyer for the collection company: can you prove where this number comes from? Do you have a contract showing that you purchased our debt? probably luckily for them, a reporter researching a book on the topic showed up and asked the same questions.
10 minutes later they get in front of the judge and the collection company drops the whole case and theyre free to go. story is below, it has a transcript in the link too
Ira talks to reporter Jake Halpern about a scene he saw take place in a Georgia courtroom where a couple uttered some magic words that seeme

Alert citizen of Bitch Nation @sobekcrocodile brought this to our attention and we're sharing, but with a caveat:
WE HAVE NOT YET LOOKED INTO THIS.
... but holy shit it's worth pursuing if you're drowning in debt and these are your circumstances. I'll definitely be adding this to the Big List of Future BGR Topics. Here's more of our advice on debt:
MASTERPOST: Everything You Need to Know about How to Pay off Debt
Our Final Word on Student Loan Forgiveness
This only works with private student loans NOT FEDERAL!!!! The government has the right to transfer your student loans between contracted servicer's per your MPN
The flip side is if someone in your family dies but they still have school debt, all federal school loan debt is automatically forgiven. The estate is not liable for those debts, and neither are any heirs to that estate. Even if the estate has money to pay it off. Does not matter.
Only barely tangential, but if you are afraid your health care debt will bankrupt your family even if you don't survive, here's what to do: get separate health insurance. Do not let your spouse or children sign for anything. (Even if they're paying your copay or other out of pocket costs.) All healthcare costs and papers and whatnot are solely your concern. If you go in the hospital, they sign nothing, no intake, no medicine report, nothing. Also, get separate credit cards. Shared bank cards are fine. Credit cards, keep separate.
Then the other step is to establish that everything you have is owned jointly with your spouse. (Not sure how you'd do this with children, ask someone else about that.)
Upon your death, what your estate cannot pay is forgiven. Even if that comes to 100%. Your spouse cannot be held liable for a debt they did not incur, and collection agencies and debt collectors cannot force a person to use their own money to pay someone else's debt. And since all of your money & assets are jointly shared by your spouse, anything in your estate is also theirs, ergo, your estate is worth zero.
As for the credit card, your debt has to be written off by the bank. Again, they cannot force a non-cosigning third party to pay off your debts, and since your estate has no money or assets all is own (unshared), spouse pays nothing.
Do not ask me how I know this. I hope it's already obvious by this point.

T-shirt that says "I'M SORRY FOR THE PERSON I BECOME WHEN I'M OVERHEATED"
Which OC is currently wearing the "I'M SORRY FOR THE PERSON I BECOME WHEN I'M OVERHEATED" t-shirt?
I'm fairly confident that I've never met a person who doesn't have ptsd. I think the division is really "people with ptsd that they can mask/manifests in ways that others can ignore" and "people whose ptsd can't be ignored by others so they're forced to begrudgingly acknowledge its existence"
"my cousin is the only one in our family with ptsd, he got attacked by a large dog and melts down at the sound of large dogs barking if he's already emotionally fragile" yeah and your mother shuts down at the sound of car engines that sound like her ex-husband's car, you just never noticed because you don't pay attention to her and she's been conditioned not to make her 'silly outbursts' anyone else's problem.
the thing about art is that sometimes you'll be moved to tears by stuff that is not very good
These gentle, 400-pound giants are splashing back from the brink of extinction.
Green sea turtles have been an iconic endangered species since the 1980s, mostly due to bycatch in fishing nets and taking adults and eggs for food. I have core childhood memories of watching Steve Irwin talk about sea turtle conservation in front of a beach full of nesting green sea turtles.
After 45 years of conservation efforts, their population now meets the IUCN criteria for Least Concern rather than Endangered.
For a species with such a slow life history (it takes green sea turtles decades to reach sexual maturity) and a nearly global population, this is a Really Big Deal. This is the kind of long term conservation victory that many of the amazing humans who started working on green sea turtle conservation back in the 80s didn't live to see.
Just because something isn't fixed right away doesn't mean it won't ever be fixed. Just because the work is slow doesn't mean it isn't worth doing.

sad how when westerners say "pickle" it's almost always shorthand for "pickled cucumber" which is the most Mediocre and Disappointing of all the bountiful beauteous possibilities of pickled vegetables...
pickled onions. pickled garlic. pickled peppers. pickled okra. pickled daikon. pickled asparagus. pickled beets. pickled ginger. pickled brussel sprouts. pickled mushrooms, pickled eggs, pickled cabbage, pickled corn. pickled watermelon! the opportunities were vast and unceasing!!!!!!
instead they chose a filler vegetable that has all the charisma of a cantaloupe staging a hostile takeover of a fruit salad 😞
fantasy: the kingdom has been ruled by one family for 10,000 years
science fiction: a new species evolved in 30 years
Thoughts on the schism?
"The Society of Saint Pius X pulled some excommunication-worthy fuckshit" is basically any given Wednesday. The only mildly surprising thing is that it took the Vatican this long to pull the trigger!
I want a video game with realistic dick and balls physics not for any prurient reason, but... okay, so you know how in some games with boob physics, there's a palpable delay after a character model is instantiated before physics start to apply to the boobs, so it's like *pop* ... *FWOMP*? I want to see the cock version of that. Penis-having character spawns in, there's a beat, then the physics engine tries to play catch-up and applies a full second of gravitational acceleration to their junk all at once and they just randomly start helicoptering.
#wasnt that conan game basically this #idk i never played it (via @piedbirb)
Nah, Conan: Exiles saves on development costs there by applying the same physics simulation it uses for clothing to penises. It's basically treating the cock and balls as a bit of cloth hanging off your character's groin, which produces a totally different (albeit no less entertaining) set of failure modes.
The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.
the romance of hand-plotting. this guy looked at the numbers and drew each of those dots manually, and the image emerged. we can only imagine how he felt
I am wildly more obsessed with this than I expected to be

Thinking about that one jumblr post from years ago about how A Series of a Unfortunate Events is such a Jewish story and wishing I could find it because the idea of the Baudelaires being constantly gaslit about Count Olaf’s identity while in disguise as an allegory to Jews being constantly gaslit about antisemitism is on rotation in my brain like a rotisserie chicken
Jews pointing out antisemitism and non-Jews saying it’s not/it’s just criticism/etc. is literally Jews as the Baudelaire orphans going “that’s Count Olaf in a disguise!” And non-Jews as Mr. Poe, et al. going “That’s not Count Olaf, that’s sailboat real estate agent Captain Sham, obviously. Honestly orphans, you think everything is Count Olaf.”
So I follow N. D. Stevenson (comics writer and animator, most famous for Nimona and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) and his husband Lee Ostertag (also a comics writer and animator) on Instagram. When I started following them, they were both publicly presenting as women, and then a few years ago N. D. came out as transmasc nonbinary, and then earlier this year Lee also came out as transmasc. Anyway this is all setup to say that Lee had the chance to make the funniest post of all time and he took it:
Absolutely iconic.
I want to throw in that part of the context behind this meme was N.D. talking about how he sometimes gets hatemail for marrying a man as a former lesbian, and how many people seem to think he divorced his wife.
I have not managed to find anyone who thinks that in the wild, but it is so damn funny.
