The forehead is a landing strip for kisses

When people think monocultures are better than biodiversity and see local fauna as “pests” 🤢

Cute name for a cute and silly lil guy 🦉🤎

Let’s not pretend that the US is magically incapable of independently being vile, lol.

Israel as a nation state did not exist until 1948. We were committing atrocities well before that.

Enbies: start dressing as zeroes and ones

Yeah. The second one is genocide and (often conveniently undeclared) war.

School shootings and ICE kidnapping innocent civilians are terrorism, though.

Seeing that in the morning getting ready for one of my first days of school is one of my earliest memories.

Grew up anxious seeing fighter jets fly overhead, and around mail. Moviegoing stopped for a while too.

Felt the political noose tighten with the rampant conservatism but couldn’t articulate it, being so young at the time. Just lots of dull sadness, at least that’s how I remember the early aughts.

Big corpos want access to “verified” data AND not have to regulate their own shit - that’s why the age verification garbage is so popular as legislation (to the lawmakers, not to the populace). It’s also convenient for shutting down dissidents which adds its appeal to government. “For the children” is a lace-thin veneer over the obscene violation of human rights.

F major

Bots ignoring robots.txt, a tale as old as time

Many days late to this (lurking the comm bored at work lol) but I had the exact inverse-yet-equal experience.

Was forced to have my hair long past my hips, clips and bows dug into my scalp and paired with dresses despite my repeated protests and sobbing. Fought to get it to shoulder length as a child, then ventured to chin length with an undercut in my teens.

Am now euphoric with a swishy/wavy scissor cut and fade. I look in the mirror and wish I could tell twelve-year-old me it gets better, and in a way each day I do.

It’s sad how much of our identities get stuffed into boxes when we’re young :( grateful that I got to unpack that box as an adult, at least.

Young girl murders two women after TBI with help of three men at behest of corrupt government official, deaths are met with celebration by local populace

My SO and I both yell for each other when we’re across the house or in a noisy environment, lol.

We’re also sometimes brief in our requests because we’ve been together so long that a vague grunt/syllable and/or gesture is all that’s needed to communicate. Doesn’t mean we love each other any less 😆

TL;DR: You can’t know every relationship from a small window of context ¯\(ツ)/¯ understandable heuristic though

Mutual aid > charity

Build connections + community when you can, in addition to donations 🩶

The mnemonic I learned in school was SPA: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle

So yeah Aristotle is the younger dude simping hardcore for his mentor in the red garb (but really most likely used Plato as a projection canvas for his own ideas in writing)

Is this one of the wolfenstein games?

I believe in him

Look at those lil ‘staches! That’s the best thing I’ve seen all day

Game publishers, but yeah
