Today, nothing is more precious than this lichen and this moss being neighbors on a rock that I found.

The thing nobody tells you about writing is that you have to keep fucking doing it

I know "60s housewives who invented slash fanfiction" has taken on a life of its own as a phrase, but Kirk/Spock didn't really exist until the 70s and THOSE WOMEN HAD JOBS. They were teachers and librarians and bookkeepers and scientists and they damn well spent their own money going to conventions, printing zines, buying fanart and making fandom happen. Put some respect on their names.

showering:

pros: you get to feel clean. you get non greasy hair, non oily feeling skin, it just in general makes you feel better, more energised, refreshed.

cons: there are so many steps. oh my god are there so many steps. before getting into the shower there are steps. during the shower there are steps. and once youve gotten out of the shower? guess what!!! more fucking steps!!!!!!!! UGHHHH

Slipping estrogen into your boss's coffee might sound cathartic, but if you unionize your workplace then you won't even have to slip it in his coffee. You'll be able to openly demand that he take estrogen. That's the power of collective bargaining.

anon thinks that things being as bad as they are is evidence that "clearly, most [people] aren't". this is called survivorship bias; it's hard to take into account the negative space in the data.

we don't know how much worse it could be, without the invisible labor of invisible people slowing down the fascism machine. we don't know - and we will never know - how much weight those tiny actions of resistance are carrying.

and you, individually, will never know the full value of your actions. make those actions the right ones regardless.

"Keep your head down and resist quietly through weaponized incompetence/malicious compliance/etc" usually just works out to "keep your head down and go along with everything." Like I'm sure some people are capable of committing to doing it, but really, clearly, most aren't, no matter what they claim.

So what is the solution, then? Roll over and give in? Accomplish one flashy demonstration and get taken out of the game entirely, screwing over everyone who may depend on you?

One person willing to slow things down at the right place at the right time can do a hell of a lot more good than someone who gets nerfed on day one over words alone.

And remember- people who can pull things off discreetly aren’t going to talk about it and get caught, so how are YOU going to hear about it?

Don’t submit yourself prematurely, but don’t announce your resistance either. Your actions are more valuable than your words or your pride.

Nobody can do everything, so do what you CAN.

I don’t see why staying silent on that is to anyone’s advantage

“Stop fearing and worrying and fussing. Feast on the flesh that only you can eat, that you will eat. They want us to fear death so much, but we can inhabit it like vermin [says Land], it can be our space … we can knot ourselves into the underworld, communicate through it, cook their heavenly city in our plague.”

— Nicola Masciandaro, Wormsign
