if you published A Modest Proposal on tumblr you would get about a 45 minute grace period before people started helpfully informing you in the notes that cannibalism is a real thing that does happen sometimes and also if you think about it poor people are effectively being eaten by the rich, especially children, so even though op was joking it's actually a serious issue

@ jonathan swift did you know sometimes poor people's bodies ARE actually exploited by the rich irl

Historically insensitive that he specifically recommends eating Irish babies. It's like he's not even aware of England's colonial occupation of Ireland.

maybe i like my tech a little bit inconvenient

maybe i like pulling out my debit card instead of using apple pay. maybe i like untangling my wired headphones. maybe i like typing something into the search bar instead of using siri or whatever. maybe i like curating my own social media feeds over an algorithm. i just don’t think everything has to be perfectly streamlined and efficient i like it when things feel tethered to the real world.

Now its blessing of Ra

Fungus has done so much for humanity. Penicillin. Radiation cleanup. Delicious mushrooms. Deadly mushrooms. Psychadelic mushrooms. And now my boy RA has chosen the humble mold spores as his vessel through which to cure cancer.

he should wander away and have a picnic while he thinks about what path to choose

By the sea, so he can enjoy the sound of the waves

Perhaps he could collect shells he finds interesting

He should give it back to the crab in the largest shell, they thought they had lost their wave-pod and are grateful he found it!

the gift of friendship :)

The crab friend cannot eat either of those! Let's split a nice seaweed salad instead. :)

Seasar salad

What about that sword in the first panel?

This is somehow both the epitome and antithesis of "yes, and" and it FASCINATES me

"No, and"

It will get cold again eventually. The summer will not last forever. I’m not doomed to live in this unbearable heat for all eternity. <- said while gripping the countertop so hard that the tile is starting to crack

HE FOUND TUMBLR??????

I’ve been here the whole time.

Dear video essay creators. A video analysis is when you analyze a piece of media. No no look at me. A summary, no matter how thorough, is not an analysis. An analysis requires you to draw conclusions about the media such as authorial intent, real-world parallels, discussion about themes/worldbuilding/character motivation, and so much more. You have to stop summarizing something and saying that’s analysis. The Gaylors are doing more critical analysis than you. Is that who you want to lose to? The gaylors?

This is one of those true, declassified government things that always sounds made up but one of the things Henry Kissinger did with his career was use the CIA to help turn small, prosperous socialist nations into fascist dictatorships just to keep those nations powerless and possibly to keep socialist systems *looking* doomed and futile to the American public, like maybe just to scare Americans out of demanding better infrastructure or universal income. Yes it sounds like an insane conspiracy theory a maniac would invent. It also happened multiple times and several generations of people around the world are still living in misery because of it.

Remember folks, the two types of conspiracy theory are "Things the CIA or FBI has admitted to doing" and "Antisemitism"
