[shaking your hand] hey you ever hear about the scorpion and the frog [not letting go] exciting friends and a good adventure

very exhausting to pander to christians and pretend to give a shit about their "right" to hold onto their authoritarian patriarchal fantasies.

"what about the good ones?" rings as hollow to me when it's about christians as it does when it's about cops or marines or ceo's. "this cop has rescued 100 kittens and solved 5 kidnappings" okay his coworkers terrorize black and brown people and ruin poor people's lives and beat their wives at rates notably higher than the general population. why is he associating with them? "this christian fights for reproductive justice, trans rights, and healthcare access" okay but her brothers in christ have bombed abortion clinics and killed doctors in cold blood and tied gay men to the back of trucks and dragged their bodies down dirt roads. why are the "good christians" still associating with the homicidal authoritarians? they can't really pull the "those aren't real christians" argument because their own religious text calls on them to kill "sodomites." the point of a system is what it does, and what christianity does is terrorize, subjugate, and kill.

One time I came home from uni very upset and my younger siblings asked what's wrong. I said that mutated flies in our lab escaped because someone broke their jar. I didn't even realise how scary it sounded to them until I saw their faces lmao. I was upset because we were short on said flies (they don't reproduce very well) and my siblings thought that some crazy radioactive fly monsters escaped and we are all fucked now. Love being a mad scientist in their eyes lowkey

guys don't worry you can put the "blind people might need meta glasses so the privacy invasion is okay" arguments to rest: they fucking suck as accessibility tools LMAO

i realize this is more or less all happening on bluesky but holy fucking shit fuck hbomberguy and the leeches of breadtube that are trouncing around with him rn. jesus christ

So they acknowledge that they screwed her over but justify it because "she deserved it". Breadtubers genuinely think they deserve to live lol.

Do not think otherwise. I am your eternal rival, I hate you to the bitter end, even if I instinctively clung to your arm during the scary drop on the roller coaster,

If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

t shirt that just says WHATEVER YOU’RE READING INTO MY FACIAL EXPRESSIONS AND BODY LANGUAGE YOU’RE MISINTERPRETING

just saw someone say they were "hyperfixated" on cooking with seasonal squash i love that nothing means anything

i’m seriously traumadumping pepper all over these boiled eggs

I’m gaslighting my stove

mind you, this is only in publishing/writing. the conditions are not that much better in other domains. music? most artists are being fucked over by their record companies cutting deals with spotify that leave them getting very little revenue while not actually owning their own masters. visual arts? a handful of artists will break through each year and it depends heavily on your ability to network and attend extremely expensive art events, from what i know of. but maybe you can get lucky working in highly exploitative conditions in a well-known artist's studio where you produce works that are sold under their name :) can't say i know much about television or film, but my impression is that its not that much better (perhaps the greatest evidence in favour of this is the way the number of working working class actors in the uk has nearly dropped completely off and nearly all of them are privately educated in one way or the other). so genuinely who do you think the so called ip law is protecting right now? bc right now from where i'm sitting, it is protecting literally those with the greatest amount of money and purchasing power, on both sides of the cultural production and cultural distribution divides. which as you might imagine is anathema to any kind of genuine creative culture.

cake is such an underappreciated band. i can’t believe we brought back low rise flare jeans before we brought back cake in the top 40

i’m just saying cake’s music would be widely regarded as so sexy if it wasn’t for all the mariachi horns and vibraslap and the vocalist didn’t always sound like he was explaining his suicide plans to a gun store clerk in sacramento. the world wasn’t ready for them

The fact that it sounds like a dispassionate reading of a terrorist manifesto is a feature
