Reason of the Eye

It's so shitty that pride month is opening with people uncritically repeating Elon Musk's bullshit claim that he only turned evil because of transgender people. Elon Musk was a piece of shit long before his daughter came out, and she has already debunked this bullshit from the last several times he has made the claim.

happy first day of pride everyone

i think it's a common thing for sff writers to do their own take on omelas i've seen two and i guess i get the impulse but i just don't understand why you would set yourself up like that

if i wanted people to think my writing is good the first thing that i would not do is engineer some sort of situation where people are going to be comparing it to le guin's

My publisher compares my writing to Le Guin's IN PUBLIC and look, I know it's just marketing, I KNOW, but also, holy shit, there is nothing more humbling. Absolutely nothing. Like, I want to argue with it whenever I see it, because how dare? How very dare?

gamers aren’t so much a sub culture as they are a group of people that marketers were able to create so they could sell more expensive toys

Which subcultures weren’t invented by marketers though

the yakuza

As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.

Only 12 days left.

HE FOUND TUMBLR??????

I’ve been here the whole time.

this show is so fucking funny, 2 eps in and the premise so far is a modern japanese man w a severe case of internalized capitalism accidentally overdoses on magical adderall and discovers the only cure is gay sex

how did they not fucking account for this. sorry but this is really really stupid

this is so funny.

everything can be sorted on a sliding scale of "punk" (good) to "fascist" (bad). these are the only two ends of the scale it's possible to have. if something is "good" (for example, public libraries,) it cannot merely be Good, it is only possible that it be punk and THEN be good as a symptom of punk. but if you can't swing it to convincingly argue that public libraries are punk, then, well, I'm sorry, but the only option left is that libraries are in fact fascist.

Counter point, those machines can make me a peach sprite.

guys did you know the tech in that nefangled machine revolutionized preemie healthcare

Just another in a proud tradition of inventors getting funded by crass commercialism to have the time and resources to work on lifesaving technology, really. Look into the connection between neonatological technology and Coney Island for more.

My first name is already extremely rare and my middle name was a deliberate misspelling (...sigh) so I'm pretty confident, yeah. They balance out my last name, which is pretty common in England.

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed
