in a rare moment, i had enough gumption to clean out the in-sink garbage disposal.

pro-tip (idk if it's pro, but it's a tip): a toilet scrubber was really the right tool for the job, helped get stuff that was stuck to the walls and made it easy to pop out the splash guard.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

Pumpkins are portals to alternate dimensions. This is obviously true because she has no lower half.

been listening to ghost in the machine on repeat as a form of gen x self-care; mixing the hi-hats with a delayed copy in the other channel on every little thing was inspired!

(post inspired by seeing s. copeland in a photo of the protest from today in paris)

This is a very good point about DHS. They direct harassment campaigns on Twitter using quote-tweets.

Its even difficult to put into simple terms just how immensely, completely and beyond utterly wrong.

The marketing experts trying to figure out how to market AI to people, found the opposite to be true.

could really go for a jägerschnitzel with a creamy mushroom gravy, some red cabbage (w/caraway seeds ftw), and chunky spätzle to mop it all up with!
