what in the goddamn

Her sweetness and her terrifying, justified, destructive anger are the two halves of her survival, and cannot be seperated

i do think lobbying for data centres over climate goals should be considered a crime against humanity btw

As always, I speak more nonsense on Patreon!

Are they really so inferior if they are Actually Making Art?

here's me not shaming "m/m" fans in general. here's me shaming you specifically: you are either a misogynist, an idiot, or both. you are inferior to me because you are incapable of reflecting on fandom trends as being subject to the same social forces that any other types of group behavior on the planet are. you are thirty years old and your response to women who are frustrated with an extremely noticeable and mathematically backed up male bias in fandom that predates either of us being born is to be dismissive and pass the buck back towards us as if it's our job to become Fanart Sweatshops to try and compensate for how little anyone else gives a shit about us. no matter how central female characters narrative arcs and interpersonal relationships are to the plot of a work, if there are two male characters that are theoretically shippable in proximity to them that character dynamic will immediately become the most widely celebrated one. always. across essentially every piece of media that's developed a real fanbase on the entire planet. why do you think that is, dipshit? use your brain. you've typed enough letters in a row there that you've got to have at least something rattling around in your otherwise empty head

The storm continues, but when there's a momentary break in the clouds we're allowed to bask in the sunlight

Sentient society is just like Corpus society and Grineer society: crushed under Orokin boots and yearning to escape that by wearing the boot themselves, not by throwing off the yolk of what created them and shaped them (and so the Corpus exploit and exploit and remain haunted by a man who coveted what the Orokin had; and so the Grineer dominate and dominate and remain subordinated by Orokin ghosts living within Grineer forms). just like the Man in the Wall, absorbing all of the miserable cruelty of the world and vomiting it back up and lashing out at all beings because some beings mutilated it and used those parts of itself to multiply that cruelty. copies and duplicates and mirrors and doppelgangers all the way down, still haunted by an empire that's been dead for an age

[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
