went to my best friend’s house last night and saw a little plushie dog and plushie cat that had been sewn together down the middle into a two-headed chimera. I said, “did you do that?” she said, “yes, I saved them.”

turns out at her old job when the last two plushies hadn’t sold and became deadstock, her boss told her to cut them up and throw them out. so she cut them each in half, preserved their heads, and then rebuilt them together.

cannot stop thinking about the way these little plushies were approached with the instinct of a Vampire or some sort of ancient god. “Let me save you [turn you into a monster].”

The fact that the beheading was at the order of a superior, and the solution was to create some sort of monster of disobediance to the letter of the law instead of just lying and saving them adds a certain mythological resonance.

Fuck “masks encouraged” from the bottom of my heart. Fascism is here. Stop being polite. Require masks at events! Stop doing the oppressors work for them! Stop obeying in advance! Covid kills, and disables LGBTQ+ and neurodivergant people disproportionately, especially non white people. Let’s get it together please. Sure it might be socially awkward to wear a mask. You know what else is socially awkward? Not being able to concentrate through a simple conversation because you have brain fog (brain damage) from the stacked covid infections you’ve had. The CDC is a joke, they do not care if you live or die. Rebel by staying alive and as healthy as you can. I understand not everyone can mask too!! We don’t need everyone to mask. We need *more* people to mask. We need people to mask whenever they can. I want you all to be alive and well to watch this empire crumble.

If you’ve been seeing a resurgence of Homestuck fanart in the last few months and you’re wondering what the hell happened, the answer is simply that it’s been a solid decade since the comic’s active popularity was at its peak, and the author has finally shut the fuck up about it for long enough for it to be re-framed as an object of nostalgia.

Now: if you’ve had a turn on this particular merry-go-round before, and you’ve seen first hand what happens when an active fandom makes a successful transition into a nostalgia-based fandom, you’ll know that this is the part where Shit Gets Weird.

Gets weird?

Different kind of weird.

The transition from media-driven fandom to nostalgia-driven fandom is typically marked by a period of turmoil regarding what the “correct” way to engage with that nostalgia is.

Which old arguments will be considered gauche to drag up again after all this time, and which will continue to simmer?

Which authorial mis-steps is it cool to criticise, and which ought to be excused as a product of their time?

Which portions of the source material will be subject to an unspoken agreement that We Don’t Talk About That?

In other words, folks are going to be getting weird about what kind of weird the weird should be.

Adding tags from @what-even-is-thiss because they are my thoughts exactly

[Video Description: An NBC News segment showing a split screen with Reverend Mariann Edgar Budde on the top and President Trump and Vice President Vance sitting in an audience watching her. Subtitles appear for what the Reverend is saying, and the subtitles read “In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender children in democratic, republican, and independent families. Some who fear for their lives. And the people, the people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meat picking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants, and work the night shifts in hospitals. They may not be citizens or have the proper documentation but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurdwara and temples. I ask you to have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away. And that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their our lands, to find compassion and welcome here. Our god teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger for we were all once strangers in this land. May god grant us the strength and courage to honor the dignity of every human being, to speak the truth to one another in love, and walk humbly with each other and our god. For the good of all people, good of all people in this nation and the world, amen.]

[Image Description of tags: #videos #religion mention # rachael maddow said something interesting about this last night #she was talking about how the way you contain trump #is that you shame and embarrass his supporters in the government #and turn them against him slowly #and what this reverend did is a part of that #make them embarrassed for supporting him #make them embarrassed that they support a guy who invokes this kind of sermon from a religious leader #never let them know peace about it]

^what he said

“One doesn’t need to make things unnecessarily complicated at the outset. He who raises his right arm at a slant forcefully and repeatedly while standing on a political stage at a political speech in front of a partially extreme right public is performing the Hitler salute. There is no need for ‘allegedly’ or 'similar’ or 'debated’. The gesture speak for itself, it is documented on video. Whoever then wants to reinterpret it, whoever doesn’t want to see (i.e., refuses to recognize) the Hitler salute, does so on their own behalf.”

(sorry I am really bad at translating but this is roughly what it says, for my non-German speaking mutuals)

Whatever Homestuck’s flaws, you’ve got to admit that taking the archetypal scheming idiot whose wildly inadvisable plans keep working out for them due to plot-armour levels of impossible luck and going “and also, the ability to do that is literally their super power, so you’re not allowed to call it a plot hole” was a masterstroke of pissing people off.

The fact that this could refer to any number of the following characters really sells it:

Vriska, the obvious one, who’s power is literally to steal people’s luck.

Gamzee, because of weird plot bullshit.

Caliborn/Lord English, who jury-rigged causality itself to cause this.

Rose, via Seer of Light bullshit

Terezi, via Seer of Mind bullshit

And there’s probably more examples tbh

Not apocalyptic levels of OhFuck unless you’ve sat through a Cat5, but shit’s been like this for a long time now. We just put up with it for far too fucking long:

Me: I need to go home. There’s a hurricane coming and my basement apartment is on the coast, so I’m worried about my cats. (To myself: And maybe needing to evacuate.)

Boss: Is your house and your cats more important than this job?

Me: YES.

Boss: …oh. Okay. Uh…see you tomorrow…

Different boss, several years later, a conversation that happened multiple times:

Me: Hey, it’s starting to really snow outside, I live on a steep hill, and I only have 2-wheel drive. If I don’t leave now, I can’t get home.

Boss: Is getting home more important than getting your job done tonight?

Me: Considering I value my life more than I value this paperwork being digitized? YES.

Boss: ….

Me: Bye. See you tomorrow.

Boss: Uh, yeah, okay.

Different atttempt:

Boss: Why don’t you just get a hotel after work?

Me: Do I get a raise so I can afford it?

Boss: No.

Me: Bye. See you tomorrow.

Boss: Is getting home

more important than getting

your job done tonight?

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

Haikubot aside we should normalize saying those things to bosses absolutely. It’s only going to get worse.

What’s crazy is how the bosses are so conditioned to guilt trip and then when they don’t get the response they expect, they don’t even follow through on the demand, like “oh, uh, I guess that’s okay then.” They’ve been trained, but when you break the training, it turns out they’re kind of real people.

Smugly blames the workers
For the labor that he lacks.”
