a gay themed summer camp for cats

To all the parents out there who bundle their babies up in the winter time with those little hats with the little ears that make them look like little teddy bears: You are doing the lord’s work. Seeing tiny ewoks toddle across the grocery store parking lot is just what we all need sometimes. My joy is immeasurable and my day is restored.

I've been following @mycolyco on tiktok ever since their synth-playing fungus first graced my page and this cordyceps-generated synth tune has got to be the EERIEST one yet.

alton brown: contestants, you have precisely one hour to assemble a dish using only one ingredient (he takes the cover off of the sliver platter to reveal a sad looking bag of pepperoni)

bald chef jeff: ok, so right away i’m thinkin pepperoni pizza. so i go to the pantry to get myself some bread, but there was a rabid dog waiting for me within, so i instantly closed the door before i was mauled and killed by this rabid dog. so my second idea was to assemble a favorite of mine: a pepperoni geyser. now in order to make a pepperoni geyser, you need a floating point unit and a pepperoni propulsion device, which can easily be assembled by [REDACTED BY US GOVERNMENT] so right away i grab the ice cream machine and [REDACTED BY US GOVERNMENT] and that should do it.

alton brown: 3, 2, 1! time’s up, chefs! chef dianne, what have you prepared for us today?

chef dianne: well today, i have prepared for you a dish we always used to make back home in louisana. it’s called “stacks”

(it’s just a stack of pepperoni)

alton brown: revered food columnist Vito Scaletta, what do you think of the “stacks” chef dianne cheyenne has prepared for you today?

revered food columnist vito scaletta, without taking a bite of his stack: i like it. it brings me back to my poker days, makes me feel like i’m winnin’ big!

Everybody be on HIGH ALERT... …. ……this could be dangerous

So many arguments against feminist statements on here seem to be operating with the reader imagining the most vulnerable men among men and the most privileged women among women

I think stop motion animation is really funny because someone looked at animation, which is arguably the most time consuming and difficult way to make a film, and said “hey what if we made it even harder”

this whole 'which job would you have on the leftist commune?' meme is really bringing to light the gulf between internet opinion-havers and like, actual blue collar laborers. removing the exploitative nature of capitalism isn't going to abolish all needs for labor. getting people their meds is still going to take hard work. getting people their mail is still going to take hard work. getting people their food is still going to take hard work. none of these tasks can be 'fully automated luxury space communism.' it doesn't have to be an economic hostage situation, but shit's still going to have to get done and people are going to have to do it.

if you wouldn't want to do the hard work of growing food or building maintenance or community meals on your little idealized leftist commune, how is it different than a gated community? a fucking suburb? congratulations, you've invented a gay homeowners' association.

i've gotten a few responses to this, in the tags or in my inbox, that pivot the point of the discussion to what can and can't be automated. but i'm going to reiterate: some tasks *cannot* be automated, and some tasks can be automated but definitely *should not*. a large portion of many jobs, especially ones that bring products and experiences to the end user, are heavily dependant on judgement calls. a machine could but should not be in charge of transporting goods on public roads. a live person should be present and in control of the vehicle no matter how smoothly an automated process would drive, because a real human person can better handle the situation of, say, the trailer unhitching in transit.

and hot take, guys? some people enjoy this work. my father drove truck for decades. and he loved it! the man loved his little radio, being out on the open road, just him and his thoughts. he would not have been happier if a communist society automated his job and took care of his expenses while he sat at home. he would have been happier if a communist society had made his job safer and took care of his expenses so that he wouldn't be *forced*to work more than he wanted just to maximize someone's profits; and could be home more. many jobs are like this, and many workers are like this. there is work you might be able to conceivably automate that i would tremendously prefer to do myself. i like the exercise of working as a package handler. i like honest work, just me and my thoughts. i would rather prefer to be able to support myself working optimal four-hour days, and not be pushed past my body's safe boundaries for someone else's profit, than have the work just somehow done by some machine.

the impulse behind 'what work can we make it so we don't have to do it?' is very uncomfortable for me. the focus of your future leftist society should be upon the workers, and upon the work. how it can be made safer? how can the people be supported?

i pointed out the gulf between 'internet opinion havers' and 'actual blue collar laborers' because the impulse to minimize work as much as possible displays a complete lack of community. this is why we're always talking about mutual aid! about mutual defense networks! about community gardens! no one else is going to do this shit for you. we talk about communism in the abstract but it's apparent that a lot of people are unacquainted with the fact that *any* society takes hard work to sustain. roll up your damn sleeves, because no one's going to make a better world for you.

This is also indirectly a great critique of fully automated luxury communism too. The goal of communism shouldn’t be to abolish work, but to abolish the exploitation of work. Thank you op for putting this into such eloquent words
