I don’t have the energy to feel sad or hopeless or even mad. There are people that hate everything about who I am, and there always have been. And people like me have survived regardless. Thrived, even. The only thing i feel right now is defiance. And that’s all i need.
Sometimes your bad coworker will be like "I can't do anything right & I ruin everything I touch :(" and you can't even comfort them because like damn. Yeah. You really can't do anything right and you do ruin everything you touch☝️
HE'S GETTING FIRED. NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!!!!!
the thing that people dont understand about bill cipher is that, despite having some real supernatural powers, he is also very much Golden Witching it. it's very simple
he can't do all that wish granting shit but he can CONVINCE YOU he can do all that shit, and also you can't prove he CAN'T, and that's a lot closer to being the same thing than you would think
Every year The Internet Archive hosts a competion to make art using newly public domain materials, and I've been losing my mind at this submission:

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.
I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

Lighthouses of the Great Lakes.
And people will say Chicago is not a coastal city
Okay so, it took me a second to remember that the Great Lakes fucking massive, and I couldn’t help imagining
We could have this if we weren’t a nation of cowards

in the contemporary world, the most fundamental human right - and, it often seems, the least protected one - is "being both Allowed and Able to go Somewhere Else." the rest is commentary.
the torments of prison are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. the most terrifying and degrading aspects of childhood are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. misogynists wail and moan and fearmonger about divorce and equal opportunity employment because they Allow Wife To Leave. borders and immigration restrictions exist, in no small part, to Prevent People From Leaving countries where they will be exploited and/or oppressed. fuck you for trying to leave. fuck you for exerting any control over your life whatsoever. that makes you the one at fault, actually.
david graeber described three fundamental freedoms: freedom to move, freedom to disobey orders, and freedom to reorganize social relations

Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.
I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government
They should make Carrie White a fat trans girl in the new show
She asks to play volleyball with the girls team. They start a harassment campaign against her. Her mom's a rabid gender critical radfem mumsnetter terf. At the prom she sets a gymnasium full of transmisogynists on fire with her mind. You get it.
you see the vision!
Also, I didn't think this little what-if AU shitpost would get me death threats in my inbox, but the terfs found it, and someone is absolutely seething about it.
So that's fun.
the terf in my inbox was yelling at me about how the shower menstruation scene is integral, but nobody thinks about the horror trans girls deal with on a daily basis just trying to use regular public facilities.
There have been countless cases all over the news of trans girls and women being sexually harassed and assaulted by cis women while minding their own business trying to change at the gym, or pee in a public restroom.
Having a prescription ready at CVS is like being chased in the woods
Just your annual heads up, Northern Ontario is actively on fire with little resources from the provincial government to combat them. Over 144 fires on record, you've seen the fire from Armstrong and another from Collins, but several First Nations along the corridor have lost their homes and have been displaced. Please keep them in mind this season as the fires have devastated their homes and displaced them, some were evacuated to Niagara where they face indiscriminate racism.
Please support some of the following (and please feel free to tag more)
