which is definitely not an omen

Proving once more that Bloodborne was about what living in London feels like all along.

girl hold me, leftists are being wrong about signalis because of its east german aesthetics online again (and being INCREDIBLY racist about germans whilst at it) 😭

People need to fucking touch grass, learn some actual history, and stop sucking up to red fash ISTG.

why instead of people saying 'hey dude' they say 'hey darude'

"Hey dude" - unoriginal, presumptuous

"Hey bube" - subverts expectations, aesthetically pleasing inversion, sounds like Dexter trying to say 'boob'

I used to do this as a kid (on paper) and we had a cat that would watch you draw the body shape like

But then as soon as you added the WINGS the cat would go

:O

"The Large One has cast the Spell Of Create Bug"

this is so funny I cannot believe this was posted

the sad thing is that this tells you everything about how much high-ranking officials understands (and care) about climate change. This person was fucking secretary of state ten years go, and she was close to be the president of the US, for fucks sake.

The linked article addresses this.

The blue line is drawn without taking into account any future policies. The yellow line is there as a reminder of what the US should be aiming at (and is unrealistic, as it would mean having to reduce not just industrial, but also farming emissions to a net zero, which is improbable and nigh impossible by 2050). The point we're supposed to be looking at is the very clearly delineated dotted line, 2030.

Biden deserves severe criticism for... a lot of things actually, including not hitting that mark for 2030, but the way this is being framed comes across as outrage bait.

The Last Guardian but its in the style of Disney's Sword in the Stone (1963) and yes we got Medivh, Khadgar, Lothar and Garona

Muhammad Shehada, the communications chief for Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, expressed shock that there was not more media coverage of the Nasser grave.

"I CANNOT find a single headline in any mainstream media about this!" Shehada wrote on social media. "Imagine it was Ukraine? or Israel?"

I dislike the framing of the twitter posts so much. This isn't a problem of the protests, this is entirely a problem of reporting. The protests are there to draw the public eye to the fact there is a genocide happening, not meant to, that's what they are doing. The way the tweets are phrased is like they're a self-aggrandising act, and that the people involved are somehow solely responsible for how (and how much) they are reported on by the press.

This is absolutely that obnoxious online left attitude of "Oh I know more about this than many of the protesters there, so I'll browbeat them with how much more informed I am. Not shitting on anyone's efforts though.❤️"

Stay informed, stay involved, and above all stand in solidarity.

“But I didn’t and still don’t like making a cult of women’s knowledge, preening ourselves on knowing things men don’t know, women’s deep irrational wisdom, women’s instinctive knowledge of Nature, and so on. All that all too often merely reinforces the masculinist idea of women as primitive and inferior – women’s knowledge as elementary, primitive, always down below at the dark roots, while men get to cultivate and own the flowers and crops that come up into the light. But why should women keep talking baby talk while men get to grow up? Why should women feel blindly while men get to think?”

— Ursula K. Le Guin

The comments are giving me psychic damage. Human knowledge of the natural world are not instinctual, but observational. It's not innate. It's knowledge, painstainkingly acquired and passed on by generations of people. It's not vibe based, it's not gender based, and to pretend traditional or mystic knowledge cannot be merged with science is ridiculous

(there are some genetic traits such as taste which help us distinguish the useful from the dangerous, but human knowledge is more complicated and sometimes contradictory to biological instinct. Kids who had Chinese meds will know 🤢)

& those genetic traits didn't come from our innate bond to nature or some shit like that. They came from humans eating poison and dying, and over time humans who recognized and disliked the taste of poison had a better chance of staying alive. And they're not even effective enough on their own. If we weren't taught by our elders to be careful which plants we eat and to pay attention to those tastes, most of us would still die.

Once again I’ve become overly conscious over the fact that I’m really just a brain with tendrils controlling a meat mecha😔

Y’all… this dumb joke I made got viral on twitter and pissed of a LOT of right-wing philosophers and fundamentalists yesterday, it’s actually wild.

These are the types of dudes who cry about leftists getting triggered while they literally froth at the mouth at the sight of a meme drawing

Okay, but this one in particular is just asking to be memed to hell and back:

Next step is implanting people into gigantic, weirdly sexy mecha bodies. Maybe painted to look like those cheap knock-off transformer toys you desperately wanted as a kid and loved with all your heart until they broke within the fortnight.

This is the future liberals want.

Karina Drawfee's Garf doing a little jig

I've read this book! It's great! Read it! You will hate and be completely baffled by her parents!

Always keep in mind that just because a child's family is rich, does not mean the child is rich. Just because a child's family is privileged, does not mean the child is privileged.

I've mentioned this before elsewhere, but one of my ideology's most formative memories was seeing a Russian yacht pull into harbour in Greece, and the kids being escorted out on a bike ride by two burly bodyguards. That's not a childhood, that's a gilded cage. Being treated as a precious object that has to be kept close and never allowed to be 'tainted' by contact with the outside world is murderous to a child's sense of empathy and decency.

Basically, that level of wealth is detrimental to people's very humanity, and the humane action would be to take it away from them.

Please, please constantly challenge and reject the narrative that any region is naturally more prone to war than any other, like that's a characteristic inherent to its make-up, like that's geographically assigned risk the same way an area can be earthquake-prone or hurricane-prone.

There has never been a utopia on Earth and nowhere is entirely free of conflict, but this disastrous scale of violence inflicted upon the SWANA region is a deliberate and calculated effort of destabilization by Western powers who want to bleed the region dry. It's not an immutable part of the contour of the land that its people must adapt to and live with. It can be stopped and should be stopped. These people were once free and can be freed again.

Every time you see someone hand-waving a crisis at this scale as "conflict in the Middle East" it is an abominable tool to dehumanize Arabs to the point where nobody bats an eye at the death of their children.

Examine what that phrase means. What is a "conflict in the Middle East"? What happens in Yemen isn't what happens in Morocco isn't what happens in Palestine isn't what happens in Iraq, but this catch-all term is meant to translate in your mind into "problems are happening where problems are always happening", because of course they are! Conflict in the Middle East? What else is new, clouds in the sky? Fish in the sea? It lulls you into apathy; Arabs are dying - but that's what they do, don't they?

And so three goals of the perpetrators of this violence are achieved. First, they wash their hands from it; they didn't set the place on fire, it was already like this when they got there! Second, does it even matter whose fault it is? Who cares about a dead brown child anyway? Who's counting the death toll? Third, since this is an unchangeable quality of their region, and has nothing to do with the West, why protest it? Why fight for them? Why demand anything out of Western leaders?
