I have an ongoing fascination with Amazon Dash buttons. They are little Internet Of Shit items you can stick to a wall or any other surface and push to order One Specific Product. For example, pressing this button:

will immediately order six tubs of Hasbro™ Confetti sprinkles multi-coloured Play-Dough™ to be delivered to your house at the next post.

They’re simultaneously

Deeply dystopian/absurdist, in that ‘Straight out of a satirical near-future scifi novel’ way we all love so much

I’m not going to lie here, really oddly or maybe not-so-oddly alluring to someone who is very disorganised and struggles to keep on top of daily life skills

Somehow still weirdly broken, even for that - eg the one for toilet paper can’t be used to order a normal amount of toilet paper; you have to order 48 rolls at a time. And I have never, ever been able to form a model in my head of a person who runs out of Hasbro™ Confetti sprinkles multi-coloured Play-Dough™ so often and so urgently that they need a button to push as soon as it’s getting low. I want to be clear here that you can’t order regular Play-Dough™ with the button; it is only the confetti sprinkles variety. Yet presumably someone must have bought one of these at one point. I want to find that person and ask them a lot of questions.

Other things you can order with an Amazon Dash button:

Mentos

Organic Raw Virgin Coconut Oil

“Eyebrow cleanser”, which I didn’t know was a thing until just now

Black shoe polish

Nerf darts

Tins of 36 Derwent watercolour pencils

i hope you’re all aware of the 300 recently discovered love letters between two gay british soldiers during ww2 that are going to be possibly adapted into a film.

they’re beautiful and poetic and tragic and heart-wrenching and brave. i highly suggest going and reading the excerpts. 

here’s the one that broke my heart:

“Wouldn’t it be wonderful if all our letters could be published in the future in a more enlightened time. Then all the world could see how in love we are.“

out of all the stuff in Kai Cole’s article, this one bit is what jumped out at me:

“When I was running ‘Buffy,’ I was surrounded by beautiful, needy, aggressive young women. It felt like I had a disease, like something from a Greek myth. Suddenly I am a powerful producer and the world is laid out at my feet and I can’t touch it.”

-because to me, it speaks volumes about Whedon’s opinion of women. These “beautiful, needy, aggressive young women” are his employees. He is, functionally, their manager. There is nothing sexual about the employee/manager relationship, nor should there be. The fact that he looked at them and thought “the world is laid out at my feet and I can’t touch it” instead of “I have hired these women to do a job, and it is my responsibility to ensure that they do the job well and in a safe working environment” tells me that he has never in his life looked at women as his equals. He looks at them as potential fucktoys. And while there will unfortunately never be real consequences for directors who treat their actors like this, there should be.

This is spot-on.

I think my favorite panic-fueled response to a petitioner was when someone came up to me in Union Square and said “Hi, would you care to sign our petition for LGBT rights?” and I just blurted out “I’m already gay” and the person, taken aback, said “Well, that’s… nice.” and I said “It really is. Goodbye.” and just walked into the closest store to escape.

one time I was on my way to a final and this clipboard person was aggressively trying to stand in my way and saying “excuse me sir, can you take just one minute?” and I was like “I’m sorry I’m on my way to a final” and they said “just takes a minute to save a mountain” and I panicked because clearly the truth of why I had to go wasn’t working so I just said the first thing that came to mind which was “Sorry I hate mountains”

This is maybe my favorite response to this post, holy shit.

My favorite of these from the other side of the clipboard—back when I was canvassing for GreenPeace, I had a co-worker that would switch back and forth between “Hey, you want to help save a whale?” and “Hey, you want to help fight global warming?” - and at the end of a very long, hard day on the Magnificent Mile in Chicago, he blurted out to someone “Hey, you want to help me fight a whale?”
