Fun thing about football right now is that there's a move called the "brotherly shove" that the Eagles do when they're very close to scoring, where the whole team puts their hands on the ass of the guy with the ball and physically propels him over the line into the endzone for the touchdown, and all the other teams' fans hate it because it's got such a ridiculously high rate of success for the Eagles and doesn't really seem to work for any other team. People are straight-up calling for this move to be banned, claiming it's "unstoppable" and gives an "unfair advantage" but it really and truly is a skill issue. The whole league hates this move because it only makes the Eagles win more often and nobody else can figure out how to do it right

Since joining RedNote I have connected with a Mongolian rancher, a knitter in Shanghai, a bunch of musicians who are playing traditional Chinese songs on guitars and harps and other musicians playing rock and roll on pipas and zithers. I have had my brain rocked by what some people can do with water colors, and I have met a woman who, though she is on the opposite side of the world from me, has chosen to plant the same flowers in her garden as I have.

I have engaged in discussions on what foods we want to try from each other’s cultures, and even seen very respectful conversations on what foods make each side wary to try even though they believe the other side when they say it is good.

But most of all I have seen English speakers go out of their way to include Mandarin translations with their English comments, and I have seen Chinese people be so touched by that.

THIS IS WHAT THE INTERNET IS FOR YOU GUYS!

We had a glimpse of this very briefly in the earliest days of the internet (I’m talking mid 90s), but we did not have translation software back then, so the exchange wasn’t nearly on this level.

I am having so much fun. The world may be awful but also it is beautiful.

Let me correct that. Our governments may be making the world fucking awful, but when is commoners get together and hang out we find we are more alike than we are different and the world is fucking beautiful actually.

It is not enough to get into a comfy sleeping position- one must go through several and spin like a rotisserie chicken to arrive at the position you started with.

dear usamerican high schoolers looking for a way to resist fascism: sit through the pledge of allegiance.

no getting up. no looking at the flag.

everyone will be looking at you. you'll be sweating like a fucking hippopotamus. your teacher will sternly tell you to get up. you'll feel stupid and that maybe its not worth it because you're just a kid in a classroom. but I'm here to remind you that there are no real life consequences to detention. there are however real life consequences to resisting a thoughtless performance of nationalism.

I want you to remember:
