#practical solutions for people

[butwhypants]

if your solution to the conflict in Israel/Palestine is the complete and total destruction of the Jewish state, you are in fact antisemitic and no amount of Kapo hand wringing will change that.

Suuuuuper annoyed with all these sad sack deer hunters who think that wolves are to blame for our bad deer harvest (and not, you know, the last two epic fucking monster winters 🙄) therefore we need to HUNT THEMM, but I’m particularly salty today bc it’s brought up a lot of pearl clutching in the regional homesteaders fb group. “How you do you even feel safe walking across your yards?? I have three small children!!”

Well DON’T LIVE IN THE WOODS THEN!

The irony is I’ve been charged by a mama bear. I’ve been stalked by a mountain lion. I’ve been charged by a gd bull moose. And NOTHING has caused me more actual physical harm than the goddamned Lyme I got from my own damned yard.

Idk man I just feel like those posts about how Nightshade won't work so why bother using it seem to be written by people who have a vested interest in stopping artists from using Nightshade

whenever I order packages my kids get home before me, see the package, hope it's for them, and then are disappointed that it isn't

I feel like I have accidentally wandered into a very specific post-internet form of inflicting trauma on my offspring

i see the value in understanding the failures of the us police hiring process, especially as it seems highly probable that this cop has been covered before when he commited other acts of violence. however, i think we should be weary of focusing too much on that. he was not alone, and this is far from an outlier case, this is the norm. they ALL get cover, they ALL get excuses, they ALL get protected far more than they could ever protect any civilian. they don't even have to ask for it, they just get it. this is not fixed by hiring better people. she should still be alive

had to unfollow and artist i enjoyed bc they talked about how they use ai and took the stance of, "people need to stop attacking me for it bc it's been really helpful to me as a disabled artist 🥺 we should be standing together as artists not trying to divide ourselves 🥺" you know what else ai does? YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE AI DOES??? IT USES ENOUGH ENERGY TO KILL OUR PLANET MUCH FASTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE WE CAN DO ENERGY-WISE.

i am a disabled artist too. my cognitive and mental disabilities that make burnout a substantial roadblock aside, i can have frequent and extreme pain in my wrist (sometimes out of nowhere, sometimes as a result of drawing) that makes drawing an extremely painful and slow process for me (this is due to hypermobility probably). sometimes i draw in spite of the pain, and sometimes it's enough to have me taking long breaks. as a result of the combination of disabilities i have, i am an extremely slow artist. sometimes i struggle with having intense motivation to create, but no actual inspiration because of things going on in my head. and it's a struggle because i desperately want to create, but nothing is coming to me, which makes me feel really bad. and in spite of ALL of this, i still will not use fucking ai to "soothe the uninspired motivation" or to "create in spite of my pain". i will not hand my humanity over to ai because of such trivial reasons. ai could never do what i can, because creating is about the process, not the end result. i feel accomplished in a way that using ai could never provide when i see a piece coming together, something that i've created from nothing. ai will never provide that feeling.

wearing the dress from target I have now dyed TWICE to keep up with the seasons and thinking about the person who once came for me about sweatshop labor on a post where I said I shop at target like please fight with someone who owns more than one pair of jeans

also for context (what am i contextualizing? idk) i've been having like, weird abrupt overwhelming anxiety the last few days. i guess because i'm trying to host my own fucking summer reading program with effectively bare minimum support, but i don't know. i'm like... mad at all of my friends for no real reason, and i'm passively on edge whenever anything happens. maybe i'm depressed maybe i'm anxious i don't really know. it's so weird though.

so the goal of the retcon was to force a timeline manipulation in which vriska lives and gamzee doesnt escape into the wherever-the-fuck he was..... Interesting......

i think maybe the problem with kuang's "yellowface" is that there ISN'T a constructive way to write that kind of story. either you do what she did, and make the white protag a parody of personhood (which further obscures the material and systemic realities of racism in the US, while allowing white readers a sort of...distance from id-ing with a Bad Person). or you write something very subtle, with the understanding that readers and reviewers might totally miss the mark, rendering your "critique" worthless. either you write a popular, obvious satire, or you--idk, don't, i guess. because i'm not entirely sure who this book is FOR. we KNOW whiteness hates us. we KNOW we're the Other. we know how they think about us. and white people based entire (economic, social) systems around antiblack, anti-indigenous hierarchies that profits off our creative labor while denying us personhood. so they're aware, too. no matter how much they pretend ignorance.
