I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.
Me and the mutual I pulled by being actually I have no idea why they followed me but I'm glad they did
This is unfortunately too true, as I'm coming to realize. I just don't know what else to do other than argue on Tumblr and in stupid comment sections. I feel so powerless and hopeless. The stupid arguing at least makes me feel something, takes the edge off of the depressive numbness a little. What else can I do?
Make human connections with people who will encourage you. Recover your energy and allow yourself some hope-against-odds.
Then start small. Local. With people in your neighborhood. Show your face at a town hall, or volunteer picking up garbage at the park, or bring snacks and encouragement to emergency responders. Every small step counts.
I’ll take a single centrist wine mom who actually does shit in her community over a dozen useless online leftists any day.
A prominent computer scientist who has spent 20 years publishing academic papers on cryptography, privacy, and cybersecurity has gone incommunicado, had his professor profile, email account, and phone number removed by his employer, Indiana University, and had his homes raided by the FBI. No one knows why. ... Fellow researchers took to social media over the weekend to register their concern over the series of events. "None of this is in any way normal," Matthew Green, a professor specializing in cryptography at Johns Hopkins University, wrote on Mastodon. He continued: "Has anyone been in contact? I hear he’s been missing for two weeks and his students can’t reach him. How does this not get noticed for two weeks???" In the same thread, Matt Blaze, a McDevitt professor of computer science and law at Georgetown University, said: "It's hard to imagine what reason there could be for the university to scrub its website as if he never worked there. And while there's a process for removing tenured faculty, it takes more than an afternoon to do it."
bugs is…. shrimp????
thinking about a long article I read a while back talking about the history of “ultra-processed foods” and how they related to american/western health issues. my main takeaway was a short paragraph buried in the middle of the article, where the guy who came up with the term just says outright “technically by these processing metrics tofu and sourdough fall into the same category as doritos and we’re not really sure how to square that circle” and the article just. moves right past that.
All of this is correct. No notes.

I got kidnapped into a mad scientist's forcefem dungeon, but unfortunately I was in the control group. All those glowing pink injections? Saline.
So I had to go on regular HRT once I got out. Such a pain.
How'd they make the saline glow?
Mixed it with tonic water and a UV light
wouldnt it glow blue then?
the tonic water was gay
What if you went grocery shopping and the produce section was just missing?
Cuz my local Food Lion hid the produce section from me
Bethesda ass grocery store 😡😡😡
okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.
I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.
so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.
Hell yeah
We are coming. Fascists beware.
