yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

I am seeing a lot of people reposting Lakota Man today bc it's Indigenous Peoples Day. A reminder that he is not well liked amongst many (most?) Natives on social media. Many of us blocked him a long time ago. Some of the reasons why are in this article.

Who is LakotaMan, the user behind one of the most popular Native American accounts on X?

John Martin is adored by white X users—but infamous among Native and Indigenous communities.

Everyone saying "make weird art!" you better fucking mean it. There better not be an unspoken "but not too weird" tacked on at the end.

Are we talking about the broccoli/kale/cauliflower/etc plant or is there a different brassica I am unaware of

Either way yes that sounds so fun

Basically all the bad shit isn't from the game itself, but from the circumstances that come with it. It's possible to play it mostly without those, if you don't spend money/don't stream it/turn off in-game chat, but it's... Difficult. 😅

RobotFishGirl ⚙️🧜‍♀️ @robotfishgirl.bsky.social · 2d

It's... Complicated.

In a vacuum, I'd say it's a good game.

But it's the combination of the toxic community, the constant shittiness of riot, the way it seems to bring out the worst in otherwise totally wonderful people, and the addictive nature of it that keeps me away.

(honestly I don't even rage at it, nor did I run into much from others in my ELO- but it is unfortunately a very good game that turns into an unlimited time sink while occasionally fuckin up your mental, so)

But then, my goals have always seemed different. In a maze, I think most folks want to escape immediately- I want to map it and find the best route.

When your goal is to map the maze, every dead end is a step forward in itself.

though I will admit, I've never experienced ego involvement so I'm not really sure if my thing is that close

I've always rather enjoyed "failure" on the grounds that the common definition of it seems to be "an opportunity to learn", same as just finding out you were wrong about something 🤷‍♀️

RobotFishGirl ⚙️🧜‍♀️ @robotfishgirl.bsky.social · 3d

This is similar to the phrase I live my life by-

Make plans, not expectations.

Expectations are rigid, and when you fail to meet them it's nigh impossible to keep going, your momentum has died.

Plans are flexible. When things don't go according to plan, you simply change your plan!

InkyInGreen 🍂 @blackwallmancer.bsky.social · 12d

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

I'm not going to claim that anyone with an affection for Harry Potter is an awful human being.

But there are dozens of people just within my friend groups that I do not and cannot trust on any real level, due to their putting an IP over people they claim to care for. Honestly it's just depressing

Jess O'Thomson @jessothomson.co.uk · 5d

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
