a meba 🦠 is almost like a really really small anermal but not quite

the most valueable skill a white leftist can ever learn is how to take an L with grace.

You gotta be able to take an L if your moral and ethical belief systems are to be capable of guiding you. Otherwise you just have an idealized self where you get really mad and scared when anyone points out it isn't actually you. How the fuck are you gonna walk the walk if you can't handle being told when you are not, in fact, actually walking it

you cannot just socially transition into being a good person you are going to have to settle for being a messy human being who has to try and fail and keep trying to get better like everyone else. yeah even when it's embarassing and sucks for you a lot.

at the risk of being cringe with everything going on — this week, the last six months, the past five years — i keep thinking about that one quote from the great gatsby

“they were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

it’s just every day now, huh.

I would never suggest anyone get a job but I would like it if you took up knitting and stopped arguing in my notes.

aaaaand this is why i didn't try to transcribe it

can't be transcribed with mere letters

THIS IS WHAT GOOD PUSSY SOUNDS LIKE: [GEIGER COUNTER GOES WILD]

The original slogan for Star Wars was far less encouraging than what ended up in the film. Marcia Lucas suggested that George change the phrase to remove the time limit, and the rest is history.

Not mine but I feel like it belongs here.

That is yours…

…….. I need to read blog names

You get a Black Sea Salmon

Please look at this image Merriam-Webster used for the announcement on their website

as we ride one more turn on the carousel of moralizing about fiction I think a potentially useful heuristic is "would your proposed moral code ban Ovid's Metamorphoses?"

"depictions of sexual violence should only be allowed if they are not intended to be titillating or pornographic" ok. Richlin argues (correctly, I think) that scenes of sexual violence in the Met are intended at least in part as a source of voyeuristic pleasure for the reader. so would your proposed moral code ban Ovid? would our society be better for survivors of sexual violence or anybody else if we banned Ovid?

why don't you agitate the contents of a barrel full of cream for a while then reach your hand inside and maybe you'll feel butter

why is the human body composed of such capricious tubes
