when you remember what happened to the word "woke" you'll never stop being mad. woke originally meant to "stay alert" during antiblack racial injustices that black individuals face and now it got turned into meme shit and it's genuinely infuriating when antiblack systemic oppression is still ongoing across the world.

seeing nonblack leftists use the word ironically without at least knowing the origin of it is blood boiling. I'm tired of black phrases and slang being turned into "memes" it's turning black culture and awareness into a joke.

I used to set this one for second year undergraduate creative writing seminars on writing science fiction on a double bill with Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild" and no-one here gets out alive.

!!!! Today is the only chance we’ll ever have to listen to this absolute banger of apocalyptic fiction on the very day the story is set 😲✨

Nemoy’s voice is PERFECT in this!

(A content warning if you do listen - the dog dies, though it’s not super graphic)

I paused the robot vacuum so I could listen to this 1950’s story predicting the robot vacuum.

Knowing your reaction to the story, how do you feel about today being the day of there will come soft rains?

Relieved, and overwhelmingly grateful that There Will Come Soft Rains and other stories of its ilk and era successfully forced the world to reckon with what kind of sad, empty, poisonous future they would really be creating if they got too gung-ho playing rough with their shiny new toys. Sometimes being a storyteller feels like the emptiest, most meaningless job in the universe, so it's always nice to be reminded what stories can actually do.

These days, lots of public libraries have a "library of things" collection where you can check out kitchen appliances or yard tools or toys, and, as a children's library assistant, the most popular library of things item that I handle regularly is a plastic scepter thingy called like "unicorn princess magic wand". And whenever I check it out I make a big show of looking at the little kid and being like "do you solemnly swear to use your unicorn princess magic powers only for good and never for evil?"

And pretty much without fail, the little kid will get the world's most mischievous grin and go "I'm gonna use it for EVIL!!!"

I understand that when soulslikes do the whole "the Golden Age was a self-serving lie, the Kingdom has always been as rotten as it is now" thing they mean societally, but sometimes I like to imagine they mean it, like, physically. The Guardian of the Realm has always been a nine foot tall horsedog.

What's wrong with being a nine foot tall horsedog is what I want to know. They can guard the realm as well as anyone.

OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD... OH MY GOD...

The doctors told me that if nothing changes in the next twelve hours, my father will die. His blood has become very thin, and every minute that passes is heavier than the last.

naderalanqar2007

They explained that he was still on life support, and I was told they couldn't continue his treatment indefinitely because I could no longer afford the exorbitant medical costs. I stood there speechless, feeling as if the ground had vanished beneath me.

naderalanqar2007

I'm begging you, I'm in Gaza, watching my father bleed before my eyes, unable to stop it. Donate now and help me save his life before it's too late. Donate now on GoFundMe

theinternetarchive

Please donate! I can’t imagine hearing such horrible news in his scenario. Bravery & strength have a limit. He needs help urgently, please donate.

theinternetarchive

If anyone could match my donation, I put $20 in today. A fraction of that, a reblog, anything helps. Just please, help my friend out if you can.

naderalanqar2007

Thank you so much, my friend. This donation of yours helps us a lot. Please match this donation or donate whatever you can.

please help my friend Nader to afford his father's medical bills!

naderalanqar2007

We could lose my father at any moment. Please don't stop sharing this post and donate. My father is suffering greatly in the ICU. Please, please, please donate now.

punkitt-is-here

Please help my friend Nader!!

naderalanqar2007

Donations have completely stopped, and the hospital administration warned us today that they may expel us because I can no longer afford my father's treatment. Please, I beg you through my tears, donate now before my father is left without care.

naderalanqar2007

I will never forget those who donated and shared my father's story and tried to save him, but unfortunately, I still cannot afford enough medication or clean bandages. Donate now before his condition worsens.

naderalanqar2007

Please help us and share this post as widely as possible. My father's life is in danger, and you are our only hope. Please, please donate now.

naderalanqar2007

I never imagined I'd be begging the world to help keep my father alive. If you want to save a life, let it be my father's. Donate now; every donation today can help ensure he continues to receive the care he so desperately needs while there's still time.

naderalanqar2007

I'm still staring at the ICU door, afraid that the next doctor walking towards me will have the words every mother dreads: "If Dad has a chance to live, donate now. Please don't let poverty take that chance away."
