*says ‘I’m so fucking sick of this pandemic shit’ in a distinctly vaccinated, pro mask, pro lockdown, pro taking all the necessary safety measures way*
I miss when computers and websites were just wildly customizable in ridiculous ways. when I was a kid I was messing around and randomly found a little running horse cursor that was just there for some reason and changed the hourglass to that. and then got yelled at by my dad because he assumed I’d downloaded it off the internet but yknow.
nobody does shit like that anymore. I can’t just put “the 5th moon of jupiter” as my facebook location anymore because they decided to be killjoys so they could stalk people better and windows won’t let you customize your whole interface in stupid ways and they treat their user base like idiots.
like not to be a salty old man but there’s no joy in it anymore I’m just resigned that even if I customize shit I’ll still be forced to install the next mandatory update that will put it all back to its pristine bullshit original state and also break my system volume control for some reason.

Shout out to all the notes-app poems, love letters, secrets, novels, diary entries, bucket lists and lyrics that were hurredly typed into people’s phones at 3am and then hidden from the world and forgotten. Maybe one day you’ll open the app and laugh at how pretentious you were, or maybe you’ll smile at that part of yourself that noone else saw
uhm actually saying “go touch grass” is really offense because some people are allergic to grass and you’re basically telling them to kill themselves via fjdjfhskdiewnaldkskjdjenw 10;8:!/&&/ snjdjdjdjebssk xdmdmw 7 (walked into an electric fence)

when girls have the ugliest boyfriends…girl stop. i could be your ugly girlfriend instead.
it makes me so fucking angry that society forces women to be passive in dating so much that it becomes a legitimate problem when we date each other
like ppl are like "haha useless lesbians!!!" but like it's because society drills it into our fucking heads that we should never make the first move and so nobody ever fucking does it's legitimately damaging!!!
not to mention the fact that i've seen countless transfems talk about being afraid to make the first move bc of the fear of coming across creepy, and as a result the other person never makes the first move either!!!!! its so aggravating that society teaches us that being forward is a masculine thing!!! it's not!!!!! everyone should be comfortable making moves and initating things!!!!!

oh this is neat
it was a mistake to convince everyone that using social media is the same as having a platform and that their “platform” comes with a moral obligation to issue a public statement every time anything significant happens regardless of their level of understanding of said situation ...
editor: but what about the cover?
ka applegate: don’t worry, I got you…covered
editor: this is just a cocktail napkin with the word “horrifying half-human half-animal abomination” underlined six times
(ka applegate has already skateboarded away)
OP it’s vital to me that you know that KA originally wanted to put little grey men in her books, but Scholastic told her to be more “creative.” Knowing that it was 1990-something, and Scholastic was planning to maybe make a TV show, KA responded by being petty as hell and making the most absolutely batshit insane alien ever. Something hard to, say, do in SFX if you’re Nickelodeon in 1995-ish.
Something like blue deer scorpion people with no mouths.

israel just annihilated the al jazeera and ap offices on live tv
absolutely brazen, the sheer balls on these guys
the us has bombed al jazeera offices in the past, claiming they shelter legitimate military targets and islamophobia means the west shrugged it off but the claim that the AP of all groups were sheltering legitimate military targets is going to be a much, much harder sell to the international community.
“'The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today,' AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt said in a statement." - from this article
This is so fucked. The article goes on to try to make it a two sided conflict as much as possible -- people on both sides destroying each other's property, etc.
But Israel has killed 139 people in its strikes, according to this. Hamas has killed 8.
Leaving aside the fact that these articles never talk about the existing power dynamic & oppression of Palestineans, these are clearly unequal numbers.
