i wish people just stopped bringing Ukraine up whenever they talk about Palestine bc it’s always “the world supports Ukrainians because they’re white” and never “both these nations suffer from their oppressors and we’re in solidarity with both”

When you realize that there are actual Madlyn shippers inside the HSMTMTS universe because of the documentary...

I’m not trying to seduce you…

“… would you like me to seduce you?”

Meet Kolohe, my non-binary Koa warrior turned biker goth. 🏍️👏💦

They go by she/they and only have a preference when they are most definitely /not/ a she, but are indifferent otherwise. It’s sort of hard to explain the concept of māhū to mainlanders anyway, so they opt out when it’s more convenient and just shrug at any binary nonsense that comes their way. Besides, it’s usually nothing a good chokehold won’t fix…

As a Native Hawaiian and a complete badass, they embody the essence of their past warrior status in their everyday life, working as a supernatural freelancer for anything from espionage to contracted killings. It’s not as honorable as they’d like it to be, and nowhere near as fulfilling as their past occupation, but they mainly use the money to help out their homeland so it’s become an acceptable arrangement over time. Plus, if feels pretty good to use that colonizer cash against itself…

Despite their altruistic nature, they also have a chaotic streak they like to scratch every now and again, especially when out with their problematic bff Taran. You can find them out clubbing or drinking or causing general mayhem together anywhere they set foot, always up for a good time as long as it’s in their favor.

Absolutely here to intimidate and seduce you, they will leave you questioning your entire sexuality while giving you gender envy. No, it’s not optional. No, you will not survive. Probably because they’ve also bit you.

🤷‍♀️🦇

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

Not socialist in a “I won’t have to work” type of way but socialist in a “I’ll still be working but I won’t be worried I won’t make the rent” type of way. In a “billions won’t be hoarded by one person” type of way. In a “janitors, fast-food workers, child care workers, preschool teachers, hotel clerks, personal care and home health aides, and grocery store cashiers, will live comfortably” type of way. In a “the sick and elderly will be cared for” type of way. In a “no child should work” type of way.

Me, on the welcome desk in the library: Good morning, how are you today?

Customer: I have welcomed Jesus into my heart and so I am well today and every day.

Me, a little unnerved: Okay then! Is there something I can help you with?

Customer, digging around in his bag and pulling out an iPhone in a box: Unfortunately, Jesus can't help me with this fucking phone, so I came to the library.

Hey all, you know how internet searches suck now? When the results are awful, full-of-AI, death-of-the-internet levels of bad?

Start appending date constraints to your searches - "before:2023".

My results have gone from 90% AI bullshit to ~60% usable - which frankly at this point is a huge improvement.

a man self immolated in front of the israeli embassy in washington dc yesterday. not just any man. an active member of the us air force. he live streamed his death, and said that he refused to be complicit in a genocide any longer. he said that compared to what palestinians were facing every day, setting himself alight was nothing.

let me reiterate. an active duty air force member burned himself alive because he was so disgusted by what the us government was openly supporting. he live-streamed his own suicide, so the whole world could bear witness as a man in his military uniform set himself on fire to protest his government’s complicity in the horrors that we have all been forced to watch happen in real time. he became a new horror. footage of the immolation blurs him out the moment the fire catches, but you can hear him. it is over in seconds, really, but you can hear him screaming. he shouts “free palestine” until his body physically cannot make any sounds other than guttural screams of agony. and then he falls silent. a police officer arrives and points a gun at his still burning body, shouting at him to get down on the ground. and it is over.

his name was Aaron Bushnell. he was twenty five years old. and he isn’t here anymore because the political ruling class has decided that genocide is perfectly fine as long as it preserves imperialism. in the coming days, people will try to discredit him. to say that he was mentally unstable. they will try to bury his actions to save face and defend israel’s propaganda. do not let them. aaron knew what he was doing. he knew what he was doing when he put on his military uniform, set up his twitch stream, and made his final walk up to the embassy. he knew what would happen to him when he flicked that lighter. do not let them forget. aaron’s blood is on the hands of the political ruling class.

working class nonblack people when faced with the plain truth that We have more in common with working class black people anywhere in the world than we will EVER have with the bourgeoisie of our own ethnic groups in our own countries have 2 options: to choose to stand in solidarity with our black comrades and combine our numbers so that we may work together for the liberation of all working peoples, or attempt to "raise" ourselves by stepping on our black comrades and ultimately fail in enacting real change for ourselves let alone anyone else. your anger toward black people is misdirected, dangerous and reactionary, and too many of you fall for these attempts to distract you from who the real enemy is, and that enemy is not working class black people in any country. fucking get it together

asking people to be mindful of others when sharing a communal space (especially one you cannot just up and leave from) is not selfish or misanthropic. come on now
