Trying my best for myself and those around me. Imperfect, but better than yesterday. Avid Metalhead.

I'm so tired of capitalism and all the tech privacy violations

I just want to stop caring and ik thats what they want so they can just do all of it unchecked but man I don't have the spoons to be stressing over that constantly

I have so much other shit to worry about

And it's just getting worse and worse

Part of being online is being constantly monitored, I've known this from the start but it's now getting so extreme

Orwellian up in this bitch

Phones, computers

Everything's always fucking listening and watching

Bad time to be queer

Also like every time i buy smth i can't back check parent companies to make sure I'm buying ethically

Sometimes a guy just needs amazon delivery goddamnit

Amazon delivery, by employees that still need to be paid somehow even if it's not nearly enough

And sure I can try to buy organic foods but they're so expensive

I'm lucky I'm wealthy enough to be able to but most ppl can't

I can't shop independent mom and pop stores very well bc I live in the fucking woods where the best store close to here is a food lion and then maybe a target 30 minutes away

Shopping local is honestly mainly for city folk

And it's not like growing food is an easier or better option

I mean tho I do steal like 90% of the media i enjoy

And like every time a big corporation does smth new i just die a little more and care a little less

Spotify did what? Well they're still the better place for podcasts

Maybe they don't pay their artists enough and are doing bad shit but it's not like i can afford to buy my own music

What did google do now? Well I don't care enough to switch every single account I have to smth better

Microsoft sucks? Ok but I don't want to deal with figuring out linux os

I'm just saying I feel like being a decent and ethical person in this capitalistic society is an uphill battle that I'm so so tired of bc life itself gives me enough that I don't have enough spoons to rlly give to caring

And I do know that's part of the bigger problem of capitalism by design

But knowing the problem almost kinda makes it worse

Uh anyway can u tell I've seen the good place

[im-rlly-fucking-stupid]

Do we think the fact it's thought of as odd to be a multifaceted individual is part of the overconsumption and categorizing of the human self and experience thats being pushed by the current society bc its easier to market to u if ur entire identity is based around 1 thing

That mixed with the societal stunting of the last few years, it's easier to control people if they're grouped bc then they can be sorted into in and out groups

Which leads to more susceptibility to propaganda and fascism

Aesthetics and labels as a tool to divide ppl bc if were all infighting we can't face the real issue of society

Bc clearly fascism and red scare era propaganda have returned

And everyone's connected in the advertising propaganda machine

And eating disorders to make ppl weak tie into it all somewhere but I can feel the fbi lazer sight on me

I think I think too much; I'm gonna get sniped

I started thinking about pinterest and all their ads and influencers and stuff and was like huh

Bc influencers are propaganda machines whether they're actively doing it or not bc the trends they follow are a product (sometimes literally) of companies supporting a fascist society

Prediction: When Trump finally kicks the bucket from like a heart attack or w/e, it will not be publicly acknowledged for weeks, if not months, long after everyone already knows. Jorken DePaenus Vance is gonna put one of those uncanny-valley deepfakes up on the TV and it'll be like "Hello loyal subjects of the USA of America! It is I, your alive president."

Hell, it might have already happened for all we know

I have a deep appreciation for trans people in general, of course, but especially those who take the opportunity afforded by the chance to pick a new name in adulthood to pull an interesting but out-of-fashion name out of mothballs and give it new life. I'm not sure it would be appropriate to give a newly-cooked baby the moniker 'Millicent' - there's no way of knowing if they'd be powerful enough for that name - but if you want to make yourself Millicent? You're my hero.

She's local to me, so I'm friends with her on facebook and everyone has been SO nice to her about it! I see her at cons a lot and she's done events with the group I volunteer with - she's always been absolutely lovely and I could not be happier for her!

[batmanisagatewaydrug]

she wrote a bit more about coming out on her blogspot, where she's pretty active talking about comics and pop culture

the problem millennials + older have with trying to understand the 67 meme is that they keep trying to compare it to past funny numbers.

listen. 67 is not 69. it's not 420, or 21, or 42.

it's E.

you remember this shit?

it's this. 67 is E.

Putting the term "Catholic guilt" on a high shelf where fandom can't reach it until everyone learns how to identify characters who are very very clearly coded as Protestant.

I know it's more nuanced than this but I think having a hard policy of thinking anyone who genuinely hates one group of queer people for their identity might as well hate all of us and thus I should block any queerphobic queer person I see can do a lot to save you from believing anything exclusionists say.

"bomb that kills all-" "I just don't get bi women bringing their-" "pansexuality isn't a real thing-" "all lesbians-" "trans men really are men bcs they're all misogynistic predators-" "theyfabs-" "pfft aroace people are cringe-" "nonbinary people are actually all-" Instant block. Goodbye. Not listening. It's for both solidarity with your fellow queers AND to protect yourself, because once a person is convinced to hate one group for their immutable traits they can be convinced fairly easily to hate another too, and thus I do not trust them.

Just block these people the second they pop up, they aren't your allies and nothing they have to say is worth listening to.

So true it's awesome to have a game that basically forces you to be creative to fully engage with it's been so much fun to see

I know it's a hot topic but would you ever think about using AI to finish a fic you're finding hard to write?

Honestly? I'd rather put out an open campfire with my clit than use AI for anything creative.

Going to a talk with a panel of queer librarians and archivists today. Going to make very big, wet eyes at the head archivist and ask if she needs volunteers to help sort the backlog of queer history materials that I have been told exists at the local museum.

[renthony]

Me during the q&a section: "I've always wanted to do archival work, but I dropped out of university and had a lot of academic doors close on me. How can I get involved?"

Every single archivist on the panel: *laser eyes activated* What you're gonna do is come get our contact info after the panel. We need volunteers soooo bad.

SUCCESS.

[renthony]

I left with five different people's contact info and a lead on an internship opportunity. Go to the events at your local library if you can, my friends. 🥰
