“No, this isn’t a rewrite of history or science. You just weren’t paying attention in class.”
So what if it was a rewrite of science? We used to think light waves propagated via the lumanipherous ether, we used to think the contenents straed out from pangea because earth was slowly getting bigger, adaptig to new evidance is what science is supposed to do!
Some truths about the publishing industry because I certainly got blindsided when going in. Now I’m so broken by this industry I struggle to encourage aspiring writers lmao
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Honestly, I think we need to hear these truths. And also saddening that nothing seems to have really changed. Anne of Green Gables, a “classic” book, took 8 years to get published, was rejected by Canadian publishers to be picked up by a US publisher, and then that same publisher screwed over L. M. Montgomery later (it led to a long court case).
Frank Herbert’s Dune, one of the moast influential and moast adapted works of Scence Fiction was rejected one HUNDRED times before it got published.
idk who needs to hear this but if you have been putting something off bc it doesn’t need to be done until the end of the month. we are almost done with the teens we are approaching the big numbers (the twenties). that date shall dawn upon you swiftly and without mercy before you know it. psa for everyone except me i got plany off time
A relative of Vice President JD Vance says an Ohio hospital has refused to put her 12-year-old daughter on its heart transplant waiting list over her vaccine status.
Jeneen Deal, a mom-of-12 from Indiana who is related to Vance’s half-siblings through marriage, adopted Adaline from China as a 4-year-old knowing the little girl had two heart conditions, Ebstein’s anomaly and Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome, that meant she would one day require a transplant.
The girl has been receiving treatment from the Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, a leader in pediatric organ transplantation, for almost a decade. On January 17, Deal said Adaline’s doctor confirmed to the family that she was in heart failure.
“My heart’s getting sick,” Adaline Deal told Local 12. “I get tired. My legs get [too] tired to stand.”
The facility requires that heart transplant patients receive vaccinations for Covid-19 and flu as recipients are at much higher risk of infection – something the Deals aren’t willing to allow for their daughter.
Deal and her husband Brayton, who are both members of a non-denominational Christian church, said that the vaccines conflict with their religious and medical beliefs and that they would not be willing to inoculate their daughter.

“a mom of 12… adopted Adaline from China…”
A just society would have already had this individual locked up based on that information alone, but to let them commit this medical abuse is nothing short of depraved
Freedom and autonomy doesn’t apply to diabetics I guess lol.
There are plants and stuff that makes insulin
No there aren’t. There are certain fungi that produce molecularly similar chemicals, but even among animals it is not the case that one species’ insulin can be easily exchanged for another, which is why modern insulin production is based on genetically engineering bacteria to allow them to express the particular form of insulin necessary for humans.
(sorry if I’m wrong idk much about diabetes)
So basically they either need to be careful about what they eat or they are just fucked?
Depending on the type and severity of the diabetes, insulin access can be life or death. A person with type 1 diabetes needs regular insulin shots to avoid diabetic ketoacidosis, which is universally fatal if untreated.
Also battalion of claws makes a good point. For anarchism most of the stuff that exists wouldn’t just disappear so the would have insulin anyway
Also like I said I’m unfortunately painfully uneducated in diabetes
But we weren’t talking about all hypothetical forms anarchism might take. This was from the start about the opinions of one specific egoist anarcho-primitivist who believes society would be better off without modern technology, including modern medicine.
Yes, surely more organised and institutional branches of Anarchism that devise ways for large amounts (more than would ever fit in a single commune) of people to work together across supply chains could handle this.
It’s not like you need a state to produce insulin or other medicine, corporations already do the production in most countries (albeit maybe not the research). Just having the workers take control of the already existing corporations, would be a giant step towards anarchism (if the team can just fire their boss that they don’t like then that boss doesn’t really have authority now does he) and wouldn’t suddenly stop medicine from being produced.
Tearing down society entirely isn’t a necessary component of an Anarchist revolution.
with the way apps & services are named these days you can just say a completely made-up word in conversation like “oh yeah i saw this on Spingl” and nobody will ask what Spingl is out of fear of looking out of touch
the problem i keep running into is that i try to make up the name of a fake social media site (or whatever) but then i google it and it actually exists

i think that if poob was a real streaming service they would acquire the rights to the Madagascar movies and do a promotional campaign featuring king julien with the phrase “i like to poob it”
I’m getting worried that more of you aren’t pirating stuff. I’ll look for a show I want in one, maybe two places before I just torrent the thing. If I’m impatient I’ll check the roku app since it searches multiple places at the same time, but if it’s not there it’s peer to peer packet sharing time.
Like it’s the same level of options to me as any streaming service. It’s not on Netflix, the antenna, or YouTube TV. Huh guess that means it’s on the Literally All Of It service: my anonymous friends.
Thrice my brother asked me why I downloaded a show or movie and I said i couldn’t find it but it turns out it was on Netflix. I just didn’t find it on the first place I looked and skipped to the place that was a guarantee to have it.
you see, Perry the Platypus, no longer will I be unable to access original films, shows, and exclusive content. with my Poob-inator, Poob will have it for everyone in the Tri-State area!
My brain is so rotten that when I saw a text this morning from my partner saying he’d gotten us a good deal on a year of Peacock, my first thought was “poob has it for you”
The computer, which is widely used for playing solitaire[1], calculating large prime numbers[2][3], finding gayhook-ups[4], and organizing political extremism[5][6][7],
What do you mean you can’t find a job? Have you looked on Indeed? What about Linkedin? You should try Upwork. How about Rise? Have you tried Jobera? Take a look on Dribbble. You GOTTA be on Jooble, dude. Get on Jooble. Jooble has it for you.
If you’re ever wondering if other people still find this place funny, I showed my brother (a freshman in high school who only uses TikTok for social media) the poob has it for you post and he was laughing his proverbial ass off
Hey I know that we were all joking about how all these companies have silly names like greebo and numy or whatever but we were serious about tubi? That’s an actual thing? I thought they were all fake. What if there’s a streaming service called Greebo that’s $17.99 a month that I somehow missed?
I think the “Poob has it for you” thing is so funny considering there’s literally a streaming service named Gloob like what??? They were not fucking kidding about poob having it for you
tom walker ran a challenge for people to post vids of themselves watching his stream in the weirdest ways possible, and after all the ‘turning the stream into ascii frame by frame and printing it out’ and 'radioing it to a 1980s walkman’ entries, this one took me out at the fucking knees
