Academic Sauce

There's a lot of tips out there for character design but at the end of the day the secret sauce on top of it all is going hog wild with shit you like and then bumping into people who are also into your kinda character

Anti-voting rhetoric will be the death of the left. Literally.

Not a single fucking Republican voted to protect roe. It was fucking overturned in the first place bc trump got three Supreme Court appointments.

Every fucking thing wrong in this country is almost certainly the result of Republicans being in power. In 2020, Texas cut half of the polling places in black neighborhoods, and doubled them in white ones, regardless of population. It was Republicans bitching about mail in voting, and constantly, constantly fearmonger about voter fraud. Literally, their platform is about making civil rights harder to practice.

Would you like to know why? It’s because Republican politicians know better than anyone that higher voter participation means higher republican loss.

But what do I see from the online left, champions of the oppressed?

“Voting doesn’t do anything, the parties are the same, the system is rigged, etc, etc”

Don’t sit here and tell me you give a fuck about marginalized people if you aren’t ready to march your ass to the voting booth and vote out the party actively stripping their rights away.

Protest, donate, community build, unionize, and vote, vote, vote.

If voting didn't do anything, nobody would be trying to stop you from doing it

"if everyone angry with Biden voted for the same third party candidate we wouldn't have to have either trump or Biden!" Is absolutely catastrophically incorrect. I know you all think from the protests and internet and the consensus of the entire rest of the world that a meaningful majority of voters must care about genocide but within America unfortunately the majority of registered voters truly do think either trump or Biden are great.

We who care about people as more than expendable numbers are up against a far larger swathe of voters who either don't give a shit or LOVE what's happening, and that means no matter what we all do, we're getting either four more years of Biden or of Trump, with Trump vowing to do more for Israel than Biden is doing. This is not doomerism or submission this is just plain how it is. Most third parties themselves also think blowing up Gaza is fine. There isn't any alternative big enough to back in time.

You saw how many people wanted Bernie years ago and he completely failed. Currently there isn't even a "better option" you can even name right now. There is no competitor to Donald and Joe who is trending anywhere and millions have *already* voted. The ballots have Trump, Biden, and a write-on option; who was to be written in? Who did everyone agree is the secret good person to nominate? It is absolutely too fucking late now.

if house was transgender he’d bring it up all the time.

we are so stupid for letting youtube get away with only letting us try to guess a video's quality based on the view count. im looking up oil pastel guides and like. how do i know which of these are wastes of time without clicking on them. i dont want to participate in a system so overtly designed to reward the dumbest people alive

give her a break

this burger i just cooked for dinner is the most burger looking burger ive ever made. this is the standard burger shape . this thing looks like a krabby patty

love the difference in responses between here and twitter. on twitter i am being insulted for enjoying tomato on my burger and not completely melting the cheese into dairy based lava, meanwhile here everyone is sharing the joy of the perfectly shaped burger. you all understand me

weird how many people have decided that commenting on others weight is unacceptable but commenting on someone (always a woman lbr) “looking old” is acceptable. you’re still doing body shaming and enforcing misogynistic beauty standards lmao

“fat shaming is rooted in fatphobia, a form of discrimination. thankfully there is no such thing as age discrimination, especially against women who look older”

Okay listen the meme is funny but I love the painting so much I was desperate to know who made it. I dug around a bit and I can now gladly tell you this painting is by Russian artist Konstantin Korobov, and is entitled "Agnus"!

You can buy a print of this painting from him here.

I'm honestly kind of obsessed with his art now actually. Here's some more:

the reason Jenny Nicholson's review of the starcruiser hotel is so damning imo is that she went in completely non-cynically. if you've watched her previous videos it's apparent she loves both star wars and theme parks; she's basically the ideal customer for an experience like this. she was clearly trying to engage with the story elements and experience everything the trip had to offer, she likes kitschy animatronics and special effects - and she still had such a bad time! it's blatantly obvious the actual customer experience was an afterthought to things that would make good photo ops and tiktoks, and the whole trip relied on the functionality of an app that seems thrown together last minute. as someone who also loves star wars and theme parks, it's a real let down - but this is basically what disney has been doing since they bought the star wars ip, so I guess I'm not surprised.

They say spring's the season of new beginnings! 🪺🏳️‍⚧️✨
