i love reading sad books bc when your own grief is stopped up inside you like a clogged drain you can grieve for a character on a page and understand that you're also grieving for yourself a little bit

‘There is a theory that watching unbearable stories about other people lost in grief and rage is good for you—may cleanse you of your darkness. Do you want to go down to the pits of yourself all alone? Not much. What if an actor could do it for you? Isn’t that why they are called actors? They act for you. You sacrifice them to action. And this sacrifice is a mode of deepest intimacy of you with your own life. Within it you watch [yourself] act out the present or possible organization of your nature. You can be aware of your own awareness of this nature as you never are at the moment of experience. The actor, by reiterating you, sacrifices a moment of his own life in order to give you a story of yours.’

-Anne Carson, ‘Grief Lessons: Four Plays By Euripides’

You BAKE MIETTE?

I'm sure this will be completely unbiased

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

They are targeting adults.

US people:

Create a backup plan for access to HRT. Now.

Prepare in advance, stockpile what you legally (or in minecraft) can, find diy that you trust.

They are going to take your medically required medication from you. This study is expected to start in about six months, and will likely be bullshit that only takes a couple months after that. There is still time.

However, I would predict an almost guarantee of a major federal legal restriction on adult HRT access in the 6mo-1yr from now range. I don't want any of the bullshit I got at the time of the election about "fearmongering". I stand by everything I said then.

Welly in her sapphic delights.

I can’t stop turning around the fact Aaron waived his right to a jury. How big of a risk it was to let his fate rest on the decision of a judge. But also how it allowed Andrew to take the stand without even more prying eyes on him. How a group of jurors didn’t get to hear his testimony of abuse and decide if he was telling the truth or if it was enough to make Aaron’s action justifiable. How Andrew was risking so much of himself to testify and Aaron protected his twin as much as he could by risking himself.

nothing funnier to me than when AI does math wrong. like I get why it happens, it's a language model that's treating the numbers you feed it as words rather than integers and then giving you an answer based on how those words typically appear in a block of text instead of actually performing a calculation. but the one thing computers are genuinely incredible at. you fucked up a perfectly good calculator is what you did, look at it it's got hallucinations

Looks like we can’t isolate, ignore, ibuprofen our way out of this one boys

You.

There have been COUNTLESS replies to this post, saying all kinds of words that start with I (the most popular being “ignite”).

But YOU are the ONLY PERSON who has come up with an I word worthy of completing it. Thank you for this gift.
