I cannot get this poem out of my head. It haunts me. Joyously, it haunts me. 

[peepingnee]

This poem format is my favorite thing and this is the first time I’ve ever seen it’s origin story. I love it. Every time.

laundry at sunset

[accessible-art]

[ID: A painting of inside a laundromat. A warm pink light streams from a window on the right, shining onto some stacked laundry machines. The floor is made from many reflective colored tiles, reflecting the light bouncing off the washers and dryer. A yellow atm is to the left of the dryer, the wall going back so the atm is nestled in a corner. The window light only just touching it. An analog clock on the wall reads 10:10, and next to it is a small poster of a 5-day weather report. Behind the laundry machines is a tiled wall, made up of seafoam green tiles and white grout. The wall behind the atm is made of red bricks with cyan reflected onto them from the floor. On the ground is a wire basket and a metal stool highlighted with pink. /End ID]

If your goals basically amount to "after The Revolution everything will be great because people will all have the Good Ethics and work together in my Perfect System and the Evil People with Bad Morals and Bad Behaviour who are making this world bad will be gone (killed/imprisoned/exiled/all converted to agree with us when they see our Perfect System)" then that's just fascism. I hate to say it but you've put a gay socialist hat on fascism.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

The MAGA people are still gonna be around in your Perfect System and a very large proportion of them are still gonna be Like That. We can discourage antisocial behaviour through laws and education and changing cultural norms, but if plans for future society involve [group I'm opposed to] magically not being part of it so the Good People can Do Things Right, well.

[brainfugk]

✨No Bad Guys Here✨ - how do you want to enforce that.

[catgirlthecrazy]

Honestly, I think this concept of The Revolution is to some leftists what Armageddon is to some Christians: an easy excuse to not try and grapple with difficult problems like hunger or poverty or injustice or climate, because any day now the Great Reckoning will come and wipe the slate clean.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#well you see america was founded on [original sin] which makes it irredeemable and any effort to improve it ultimately pointless#the only hope for salvation is to wait for [armageddon] to destroy it and cast down the unrighteous so the rest of us can [reach paradise]#voting for example is an act of interacting with and investing in this world which is too evil and tenporary to be worth it#not when The Great Reckoning is on its way to wipe the slate clean

@blujayonthewing you can't leave these in the tags

[dramatic-dolphin]

please stop writing "viscous" when you mean "vicious", it produces the weirdest mental images ever

[dramatic-dolphin]

"a viscous murder" yeah i don't want to know what that could look like

[transmasc-wizard]

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

[krakenartificer]

#and vice versa btw#i don’t know what a vicious fluid would be like#and i don’t want to find out

it looks like the Boston Molassacre of 1919

[aroace-polyshow]

honestly i never thought the phrase “i want that twink obliterated” was like a sexual thing. like when i read the phrase i imagine “a meteor like the one that killed the dinosaurs is summoned from the heavens and hits the twink in question” type situation

[deancrowleycas]

what "no sugar added" should mean: the natural sugars of the other ingredients like fruit are the only source of sweetness in this product

what is actually means: we added a fuckton of artificial sweeteners

[saint-ambrosef]
