Are you fucking kidding me this had me pissing myself
Antique Armenian rug from Artsakh region.
its actually crazy how much local art events and other potentially interesting stuff i completely miss out on just because the orgs all post on instagram and facebook only. two standouts among the worst fucking platforms in the world with the most egregious ui and slop saturation, so dogshit that id be unable to use them regularly even if i wanted to. stop it you all. get on tumblr or something
even orgs and collectives that used to have proper websites of their own now just put all their updates on fb and ig. stop! stop it! youre making me feel like an old geezer! ok well old geezers nowadays are very much on facebook... an ancient geezer. youre making me feel like A Ancient Woman
I want so badly to go to art events but Where and When?! Just put it on the website! Can we have a community calendar? Something? Anything?
THIS! There are so many cool events I learn about after the fact because there’s no place to find information! The same thing with indie designers and jewelers! GIVE ME A NEWSLETTER I CAN SUBSCRIBE TO FOR UPDATES.
Facebook at least has infrastructure for scheduling events and local event calendars - but in my area absolutely everything has moved to Instagram and there’s simply no way to view what’s happening on a given date. How did they manage to downgrade from Facebook?
what gets me is that instagram ACTIVELY DOES NOT LET YOU view things in chronological order
i see SO MANY POSTS that are like "join us tomorrow!" and i look and it's like posted 7 days ago how the FUCK was i supposed to know where the fuck you are why are you using instagram
i mean i know why. because in order to update the website you have to sit at computer, and now everyone uses phone instead, so you can do it while doing other work. you can never have time to sit at computer. make impulse purchase on phone do not think too hard this is yes good. but like. my god.
my mom, a graduate-degree-holding museum curator, now retired and a volunteer, had a fairly popular blog on the county historical society's website. it was very dry, but extremely informative. she spent a very long time researching for every entry. her entries were received with enormous interest. many many many people came to look at them. possibly the most traffic on the whole website.
new "computer guy" in the org was like "oh idk how to update that" and deleted her blog
deleted
her
blog
and did not give her access to it again for over a year. because. he did not know. how to configure blogspot.
if you want to know county historical society events you must look at facebook it is not on website website too hard.
my mother does not use instagram and feels that facebook is too limited in quality for her to use. also it was not appropriate, she felt, to publish research for this organization on her personal facebook.
so she just. didn't have a blog. and those essays now only live on her personal computer, where thank god she saved the resources.
the internet is SO SHITTY NOW and you CAN'T USE IT FOR ANYTHING except to be THE PRODUCT THE PERSONAL INFORMATION SCRAPERS ARE SELLING TO ADVERTISERS. and that's it!!! that's it.
real talk we need full 13 episode seasons again
we need character episodes, we need to sit with our characters and their arcs, we need to explore more in depth with their motivations and their evolution in the frame of the season in which they are doing it
this mishmash of thirteen different perspectives needs more space to grow. if you want an ensemble cast, that's fine, but going through an entire season with superficial at best development and next to no story fulfillment isn't cutting it
like at least finish the story you started, I get if some things have to carry over but like give us some kind of conclusion to the season so we can feel a sense of satisfaction to look forward to the next one
Cemeteries are not wastes of space. Historical cemeteries ESPECIALLY are not wastes of space. The fact developers are continuously foaming at the mouth to destroy them and put a strip mall up in their place should make you even more determined to help maintain them. In urban areas, they are a haven for wildlife. They are a green space. If you are too afraid of death to utilize them for that purpose, that is on you.
My favorite part of youtube is the part of it that is middle-aged-to-old guys with zero production value who have made a simple, low-quality video on their phones about how to repair the exact fucking appliance that has been giving me grief so I can fix that fucker myself instead of spending hundreds of dollars to hire someone.
These men are all my honorary uncles and I love them.
i'm so fucking over it
Oh so you'd rather use eugenics on animals and abuse them instead? 🙄
i was about to get violent then i saw the handle im crying
"Comply or die" is a feature of fascism, not a feature of a free society.
What are people not getting?
So kids in my district are organizing a walkout tomorrow. The district, however, are being Huge Assholes about it, and threatening all kinds of punishments if they go through with it. And as faculty, we've been told that we cannot say anything to the students on the topic aside from: "Our focus is on teaching and learning, if you have questions, talk to an admin."
Which is such bullshit.
Anyway. Several kids wanted to talk to me about the walkout yesterday afternoon. Didn't say anything. Just gave them the I Can't Say Anything And You Know Why look. One of them was like, "Don't worry, Ms. S. We got you."
And then today? They came back. WITH FUCKING PAPERWORK. Those beautiful darlings went to the city clerk's office and got a protest permit for the park down the road and they're organizing a protest after school, they've coordinated with a local immigrant rights group, they have police permission, and they've notified the school district that all the paperwork is filed, legal, and in order. District said: no walkout, or we'll suspend you, take your parking, kick you off of sports teams. Kids said: sure, fine. Be that way, jerks. Let's make this a whole-ass community thing and go loud.
I'm so impressed. And one of them was like, "We were talking about it, wanted to organize a protest, and we remembered how you said in class that most substantive democratic states there are still requirements to register large protests, so we looked up how to file for a permit. We're not giving them a reason to say we didn't do it right," and I wanted to fucking cry.
I don't teach US Government. I teach a Comparative Government class. I said that stuff about permits and protests about the UK back in, like, September. But they remembered and connected it to the world around them and they USED it, and I'm just so fucking proud of them.

Jane and Kali died in a hell dimension created by their abuser. Robin’s only arc this season was propping up Will. She got together and broke up with Vickie offscreen. The only thing mentions for Max in the ending is that she’s still with Lucas. No one looks out for Erica because she’s “tough”. You can’t convince me this show doesn’t hate women.
karen stayed with her deadbeat husband & joyce also reduced to being hoppers wife
You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.
I am so serious about the way people are taught to view themselves as separate from and above any other animal being the root cause of a lot of problems. You're not better than a beast.
This post has really made the rounds so I have to say - this mentality changed me overnight. I had this realization that all of the fumbling over self love I did for years just needed... this. Once I internalized that I'm just a creature, it got so much easier to take care of myself.
I've started treating myself like I would a dog that's going to chew through the house when it's bored. I walk myself. I seek activities that make my brain feel less like depressed sludge. I ask my body what it needs; I rest, I enjoy rest. I don't see it as a waste or unproductive. I see it as allowing my body to do its job of working better. I lean into appreciating my natural features. I'm a hunk of flesh. I can be ugly. I can decide that ugly is appealing. I can not care. Whatever. I started emphasizing little things that nourish my relationship(s), shelving distractions more, so I can relish the time I have with loved ones. I specifically pursue pleasure--dopamine--not just quick hits from scrolling social media but getting off my ass. Engaging. Cooking myself nice meals and making fucking art, man. Things that make my spirit feel more alive than I have for years. I ask myself what it is I want rather than only doing what I'm supposed to be doing. And it doesn't mean shirk every responsibility, it means recognizing you're one of your fucking responsibilities. It's reordering. I realized I'm going to die happy or unhappy and either way I'm just as dead in a given amount of years, and I choose to die happy and fulfilled.
Everything else can get fucked ad infinitum.
Call me a hedonist, I'm saving my own life.

this was only for his federal murder charges. state charges are still on, and he's still facing federal stalking charges. continue to talk about him. continue to push back against any insinuation that he's guilty.
watched wake up dead man (knives out 3) for the second time in theaters and genuinely it’s a tragic shame netflix restricts it from having a larger theatrical release. all these movies are soo beautifully crafted with a million little intentional details and hearing the entire audience figure out the crime together is so wonderful!!
i need 30 more of these please please please daniel craig i know you want to
