It's been a while since I said "this person wins the internet", but today it is merited.

well maybe you should blearily wake up at 5:08 in the pre-dawn light and find the sleeping soft tiny mammal body of your cat just inches from your head like a miracle too beautiful for speech, and you should rustle one hand out from your blankets to rub fingertip circles across the warm eggshell dome of her little velvet-wrapped skull and on the bristly patches just where the cups of her ears begin, and as she inclines her head into your fingers and purrs without ever opening her little eyes you should feel a love so tender that you understand how that love could have reached out from the fireside into the inky spangled nights long gone to reach her, and then you'll feel better

[estrogenesis-eeveeangelion]

i am at a complete loss as to how to adequately express to you how much this cat throws up yeah

Having a "stupider people have done this" attitude about the things you want to do can open so many doors

the problem with Project Hail Mary is that it makes me sad in the way of that viral tweet I can no longer find that goes "post-COVID I can never take sci-fi seriously again. The book will be like 'It was the year 2058 and microbes were eating the sun' and I'll go 'cool' and then it says 'and so the world came together to solve this problem' and I'm like 'no the fuck they did not'"

I think henry viii would truly hate that hundreds of years later the most memorable things about him are his wives

Despite the occasional silly decision by upper management, I am still extremely grateful to share this community with you all, staff included.

More and more it feels like no place on the internet is safe—everything is Observed, Controlled, and Micromanaged by tech companies and billionaires with overt fascist goals. The Almighty Algorithm chooses what we see, and if the public’s reactions to its incessant advertising isn’t stellar enough, then our responses will simply be suppressed or replaced by AI. Social media more and more is designed to prevent us from talking to each other, and to keep us emotional. Outraged. Alone. All the better to manipulate us.

I’m sure this is all very profitable. But it’s also outright demeaning, and immensely unhealthy both for us as individuals and for our society.

And no, Tumblr isn’t perfect on these counts. But it’s the best option I’ve found, and I want them to succeed. I want Xitter and Instagram and Facebook to die, and I want to see humanity engaging with one another, and with long pieces of text—facts—logic—and empathy, again. If we are to have social media, let it be like Tumblr; or the very best of what Tumblr could be.

So thank you, @staff , for continuing to build this space for us. I hope going forward you run more of these updates by us—the user base that loves this site and wants it to be the very best it can be. Together, I know we can be the next pdf.

the older i get, the more i appreciate the competency and cooperativeness of those politicians who got together to kill caesar 

[rat-bastard-king]

60 agreed to kill him and only 23 followed through with the plan, if I remember correctly.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

i’m american do you know how siked i would be to get 23 senators to agree on direct action 

[cynassa]

According to Christopher Andrew apparently only one stroke was actually fatal

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

that is exactly as effective as I expect most political action to be tbh

[annebonny42]

I think it’s my duty to tell the world that not only a single stab was fatal, but also a bunch of those senators accidentally stabbed each other (and some of them died because of the wounds) cause they were panicking so much while attacking Caesar

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

this is it. this is the taxpayers money in action. incredible.
