Finished this. Very relevant for the times.

Based it off this panel/have since found out it's from Tony Benn.

And the glow in the dark part:

Another world is closer than you think

Above is a portion of the Foundation for Intentional Communities’ map of communes, eco-villages, cohousing, etc. around the world. These are communities who are building a life outside of capitalism, based on cooperation, equity, and justice, rather than competition and endless growth. There may be one or more in the city you live in

If you find yourself unable to swallow the idea of going back to “normal,” here’s somewhere to turn. Many of these communities are looking for new members or trying to expand. You can join them

There is another way to live. There is hope

The reason most indie novels are written like the author is terrified of doing something wrong is because the overwhelming majority of indie novelists get their start by networking in the violent panopticon of the social media indie publishing community, which favours the people who are able to win at the social policing game.

there's literally nothing more radical in 2026 than believing that humanity can become good news for each other and the only world we'll ever share.

[lurkinglurkerwholurks]

#No revolutionary has a message as counterculture or system-threatening as “Humans are good actually.” #because if people are good #then we must value their lives #and offer them equal opportunities to live healthfully #and offer them meaningful educational opportunities #and provide them with housing and other basic necessities #if humans are good and the human endeavor is worth it #then we must build systems that acknowledge and enact the immense value of each human life

I think it makes the point quite clearly that as a trans woman, when I'm interacting with places that do facial hair removal, it's to my benefit when they assume I have a hormonal condition rather than a penis.

[tpwrtrmnky]

Norwegian healthcare system covers electrolysis for medically significant unwanted facial hair in women EXCEPT for trans women, btw.

Like they specifically say "this does not apply for persons with a diagnosis of gender incongruence."

[tpwrtrmnky]

Same problem, unwanted facial hair as a consequence of elevated testosterone levels at some point in life

Same solution, burn the hairs away with a needle

Different treatment, specifically discriminating on the basis of being trans.

Because one woman's problem is medically defined in terms of the unwanted facial hair, while the other woman's problem is medically defined as "wants to be a woman."

what "death of the author" means:

a lot of people think the only point of engagement with art is just to decode exactly what the author was trying to say, and their intent is the "real meaning," and once you've figured out the real meaning you're done you've solved it. that's dumb and boring. don't do that.

things death of the author does not mean:

every interpretation is equally valid

you are forbidden to treat what we can know or reasonably guess about the author's intentions as something that matters to your interpretation at all

the only valid way to interpret fiction is to treat it like it's a documentary of events that really happened and never think about it in terms of "why would the creator, a human person, choose to present it this way"

authors shouldn't get to have opinions about what they intended to say through their work, they should shut up and let me tell them what it means because i know better

actually i, the person reading or watching or viewing this art, am the infallible source of real meaning, and everybody who disagrees with me is wrong including but not limited to the author

the audience is the infallible source of real meaning, not the author, and that's why they committed a war crime by not treating my own headcanons as authoritative

probably gonna go through some weird and unknown phase of my life soon

it's interesting to me to see like. within queer communities the thing where if you said "things are really fucking stressful and awful for us right now and it's giving us a lot of really terrible feelings that don't have an outlet" ppl are like "yes, true" and then if you're like "it's far easier and safer to vent that frustration and fear on accessible members of your own community than it is to try to vent it on the people who are actually in power" they would be like "yes, true" and if you said "it feels better to justify venting that frustration and fear and anger if you can frame it in head as very important and righteous, rather than admitting that it's a coping mechanism being utilized by a fallible human being undergoing very difficult circumstances" they'd say "yes that's also true"

but if you're like "this is relevant to your own current behavior" with the implication that the intracommunity thing they're currently big mad about is actually not as important and righteous as they're casting it in their head, it's like "no no. not MY behavior. mine is rational and I am correct. the issue I am fighting with other queer people about like rats in a sack IS actually the most important issue to be addressing right now"

and like

this is stuff I have to constantly watch out for in my own behavior! it is absolutely absolutely a thing, and absolutely something we ALL deal with and are capable of engaging in. it's ramped up in intensity the last year or two and I don't think that is a coincidence. I wish we were more capable of this level of analysis of this stuff without getting defensive.

and like, again, it isn't like it's evil. I don't think it's GOOD to do, but as I said, it's the completely understandable behavior of a human being under considerable stress. we need to cut ourselves a break in order to be able to be honest about what we are doing sometimes.

Congrats(?) - you have discovered that not everyone has metacognition, or the ability to think about their own thoughts and look at them (somewhat) objectively. It’s really frustrating for people who do have good metacognition, especially because people who don’t have it just think you’re crazy. 🤪

IS THAT THE WORD FOR THAT

Stopping point if you find yourself on your phone doomscrolling, procrastinating, or “stuck”

You can move to scroll in another space (if you haven’t gotten out of bed yet, move to the couch; if you haven’t left the house yet, you can sit outside)

You can make your current space more pleasant to scroll in (if it’s not possible to move spaces, open a window or light a candle in your space)

You can scroll while taking care of your body (change into clean clothes, scroll while brushing your teeth or washing your face, scroll while drinking water or having a snack)

You can stay on social media but avoid depressing or mindless content (try searching for fun facts, hobbies you’re interested in, or good news)

Hard mode: try just making the switch on your phone from short-form to long-form content (from dozens of short posts to an article, a fanfic, or an ebook; from TikToks/Reels/Shorts to a interesting or fun YouTube video, podcast, audiobook, or film) — this can be the first step in transitioning out of being “stuck,” because you can, for example, go on a walk while listening to an audiobook, fold clothes while watching a video, etc.

Expert mode: Set a timer for one minute and put down your phone. Do anything else. (Take deep breaths, go get a drink, pick up a book or craft.) If you can do this, aspire to two or five minutes and keep increasing your time away from scrolling. (Use your phone to play music, a podcast, or an audiobook if this prevents you from picking it up again)

Good luck! I hope you were able to make your scrolling a touch more cheerful today!

Today's vetted fundraisers

My name is Ayaa, a 24-year-old teacher from Gaza City. I used to live a peaceful life with my family in our home, a 6-story building that we built through years of hard work. Sadly, it was completely destroyed, leaving us homeless.

My brother and I ran a language training center where we taught English to kids, teenagers, and adults. We were passionate about our work and had big dreams, but the war shattered everything. One morning, we woke up to the news that our center had been destroyed, along with our family car, which my mother had bought by selling her jewelry.

We have lost everything, and now we turn to you for help. Your kindness and support would mean the world to us as we try to rebuild our lives.
