A bread is one of the most vulnerable animals on earth of all time. It can die in a number of different ways, which include being smashed, being old, being rottened, being crumpled up, getting too hot, having water put on it, and having water not on it but being in the air a lot (the water (mist)). The bread’s favorite way to die is being eaten, but the world is a complicated place, and it does not care for what the bread wants, and so it dies in a variety of ways which are not the preference of the bread.
Humans are considered the bread’s natural predator, and also, are the bread’s mommy (make/give birth to the bread). Humans are a large species of ant or plant or ele phant with two grasping appendages which they use to give birth to the bread. They also have one hole which eats the bread, and some other holes, which the bread is not allowed near, generally.
Some bread can go in the fridge. Some bread has fruit in it. Scientists don’t know why, as putting fruit in the bread is considered yucky, and scientists have difficulty imagining an organism that likes yucky things.
There is the anteater, which is an organism that likes yucky things, but scientists do not need to imagine it, because it is real.

Any government that wants to privatize a publicly-owned utility or resource is dumber than a bag of hammers. Or complicit. The public good and monopolistic profit-taking are pretty much incompatible.
Proffit is extracting of value that could instead go to servace users either in form of better quality or lower costs. Always.
In some cases this is only reasonable (a writer must be fairly conpensated or the supply of writers becomes less) but in many cases ist immoral. The proffit margins in power, water, medicine? can be measured in the col, the dirty and the dead.

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute
The tags on this post are also full of people happy for the dandelion crayon girl 🥹
Update!! Dandelion crayon girl got her promo box!!
why does my mother suddenly fail kindergarten whenever she tries to do anything on the computer
I know she doesn’t know what “the maximise button” is so I told her “click the square at the top right” and she clicked…the printer icon…in the middle of the toolbar. and I’m just like okay. this isn’t a technology thing you are flunking basic shapes and directions. I’m turning off your computer and getting you a block puzzle. you have a master’s degree

still mad about smart TVs. that shit should be in a separate box like you can literally buy one of them androidtv boxes for £30. it doesn’t need its own ip address it doesn’t need its own app store it doesn’t need to replicate the functionality every device plugged into it already has
Smart TVs are one of the great evils of the modern era tbh. If I wanted spyware on my TV I should have to download it myself
i keep promising myself i won’t become another technophobe yelling about those “dang newfangled machines” or whatever. that i won’t Get Worse until going back to punchcards unironically seems like a good idea. that i’ll enjoy new things as they come out.
but so much is actively evil, hostile or otherwise enshittified. i don’t want to track my greebles with splorp i don’t want to pay a teehee subscription to get round cacophany’s file limits i don’t need 17 ways to skrimple my scronk 7 of which secretly activate scrungly plus ultimate i don’t need to link it to my flowolf account i don’t want to manage it with the flowby mowby i don’t care if poob does or does not has it for me. i don[’t care
i want a big screen whose ENTIRE job is to show me whatever device i plug into it. and also audio. i want to save my documents. on the computer. that i’m using. i want to own the media i buy. i want tech that is fat, properly cooled, simpler, serviceable by a normal person, and not forcing me to constantly select the “onlly spy on me a little bit” box every couple weeks.
I’ve literally said for years but the idea of mind control being real is more valuable as propaganda than actual mind control
“Brainwashing” as a concept was invented by Edward Hunter, a CIA-funded writer, to explain away why US troops captured by communist forces during the Korean War were so amenable to their Evil Totalitarian Captors. It definitely wasn’t that they were treated well (far better than the US treated its captives); with POWs allowed to cook their own food, organise sports competitions, and one black soldier even allowed to travel to Beijing to attend university - a privilege he wouldn’t have had back home - nor could it have been that any of these people saw any truth in communist theory. No, the real explanation must be that the communists had developed some nefarious means of controlling peoples’ minds, the same technology which they must have used on their own people to make them all support communism so wholeheartedly!

My great grandfather was a Russian POW during WWII. He was sent to the gulag.
He was one of the “lucky” ones.
He got back.
The amount of FUCKERY his subsequent behaviour caused my grandmother, and therefore my father and yes, therefore ME cannot be overstated. Like. Encanto gives a teeeny tiny idea of what generational trauma is.
The reality is fucking worse.
He was tortured. He was broken. He behaved so atrociously that my great grandmother, a woman in a country with no divorce, had to leave him with 4 children, 3 of whom young to very young.
I won’t go into the details. But the trauma of that lived in his daughter behaviour toward her son, and in his grandson my father.
DON’T. Come to me. And. Praise the URSS treatment of POW.
Fucking don’t.
Signed: somebody who had to live among the ruins
damn that’s crazy. what did your grandfather do to end up in a soviet pow camp during wwii

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others’ (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others’ (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

asking people to be mindful of others when sharing a communal space (especially one you cannot just up and leave from) is not selfish or misanthropic. come on now

yeah
And there is a vast yawning chasm of difference between Weird & Unusual and Fucking Inconsiderate.
stimming, talking to yourself, being a bit smelly: unusual, uncontrollable, literally just a fact of being a person in public
playing tiktoks on your phone at full volume with no headphones: shit-head behaviour
i’ve been saving this in my inbox for months because i don’t feel like i have the words to match this. it’s a shameful breach of my humility to answer yes, yes i do consider myself an intelligent and sensitive pervert. i love how you worded that. this is like a therapist’s screening question.
The more you look into a lot of famous tumblr Kickstarter scams with your thirty-something brain the more it’s like. Man these weren’t even scams they were just incredibly poorly managed creative projects that fizzled out. This is a thing that literally happens all the time it’s just people outside the immediate team/investors aren’t usually paying attention to it. And also everyone involved is like 19 so they don’t know how a complex, multi-year creative project works.
okay so I know slur song was banned from the club chart BUT fun fact: to make it into the lower end of the itunes charts you only need to sell like 50 songs in a day so if you have 50 friends with a dollar to spare and an iphone ... well
It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.
Transphobes talk about women like they’re Barbies. Have you forgotten the existence of cameltoe? Tiny boobs? Narrow hips? Broad shoulders? Why do you think choirs have altos and not just sopranos? What do you think female athletes look like? Do you think a woman that lifts weights and plays contact sports will look like a 90s supermodel? At what point in history did we collectively forget that human bodies have natural variability???
