“The real moral of Hadestown to me is, yes, we’re fucked, but we still have to try with all our might. We have to love hard and make beauty in the face of futility. That’s the essence of what Persephone sings at the end of the show: “Some birds sing when the sun shines bright / my praise is not for them, but the one who sings in the dead of night / I raise my cup to him.””
— - Anais Mitchell
The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it
Something that solarpunk / ecopunk / terrapunk / solar gothic / indigenous futurisms / afrofurturism does that fucking love is being able to imagine a framing for open source community tinkering that solves problems in ways that are protected from exploitation.
I was subscribed to Robot magazine as a kid, the trade periodical for adults, because prosthetics fascinated me. We are a species that fundamentally wants to help the people, and we'll tinker up cool stuff with and for them to do it! And everybody uses body modifying technology; eyeglasses are the go to example, but sunglasses, gloves, footgear, blankets, swimming goggles, flippers, camping chairs. We all have physical limitations we seek to transcend, and for some people that's walking, and others it's feeling chilly.
But I got fed up with DARPA buying/bullying/eminent domaining cool shit and locking it away for 15+ years. I'm tired of MBAs coming in and harnessing the techies, tinkers, and geeks like we're a fucking power source. I went to school to be an electron microscopist; a jogger safety sonic device we tinkered on became the LRAD. Personal helicopters, robot dogs, brain chips that help the blind see and the paraplegic move their exoskeleton, robots that are learning to speak, and to even understand a larger *fraction* of what they're saying, self driving electric cars, flying hoverbots, household android friends, virtual reality, lab-grown cuisine, a planetary artificial hivemind, computer glasses... THEY ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN SO COOL. And instead they're fodder for one of my other blogs, @near-future-cyberpunk-paranoia
With all of this human endeavor, we could have been closer to Eutopia. Not U-topia, Greek for No-place, but Eu-topia. A good place. A fine place. A place where we're kinda okay.
We get to be angry about that. The perversion of the promethean spirit, the tinker geeks shoved into the locker of the psychopathic tech industry and its funding, the government/military contract. We should do something about it.
And some people do! Right to repair, FOSS, open source, hacklabs, maker spaces... Integrating that tinkering with an equal footing and dignity for ancestral technologies - I hold that every engineering major should spend a year in a history of science and industry focusing on the premodern era to stop wasting time starting from scratch rather than refining - and you have something special.
And sometimes we call that thing solarpunk.
It's a sad song But we sing it anyway 'Cause here's the thing To know how it ends And still begin to sing it again As if it might turn out this time
Well that's the meaning of life
we as a society do not deserve queen deltarune. why the fuck is she not inescapable within this fandom. i like tenna just fine but she deserved what he got

Don't worry, Asgore. I'm positive with the way this plot is going, this won't be the last time you'll get a chance to hold your child's body.

breaking out of my hiatus just to redraw that fuckass expression they did in the new chapter
might redraw the other glorious expressions they did aswell

in case anyone is missing the sheer beauty of this french pun, in english it says "ominous" but broken up like a separated head and body - but in french "o minous" means "oh kitties"
Wizards (1977)
Oh are there people who don't know this mess of a movie has the all time most spectacular final wizard battle in the fantasy genre??
Hot take but rigid divisions between queer identities and heavily-policed labels that are treated like diagnoses are really, really bad.
Trans men have shared histories with lesbians who have shared histories with bisexual women who have shared histories with ace people who have shared histories with aro people have shared histories with gay men who have shared histories with trans women who have shared histories with nonbinary people who have shared histories with etc etc etc etc etc.
Labels are important for people who want them, but we need to stop treating sexuality and gender as rigid boxes and checklists.
yes. labels aren’t a fort you need to protect; labels are a pin you can add to your backpack to signal being part of something. You can, in fact, have more than one label (as a treat).

Analyzing the politics of a work that's meant to be apolitical is actually a really interesting exercise because it asks you to critically examine what the creator considers to be "political" in the first place. Which ideas are just How Things Are, and which ones are Political, and how is that influenced by the creator's beliefs?
Usually this just ends up with you looking like a moron btw
Angrily lashing out at the suggestion that it's possible to do basic media analysis was foundational to the ragebait ecosystem of the 2010s, from which we got basically the entire culture of modern far right politics, btw.
I genuinely believe myself and others are being so sincere and literal when we say TOUCH GRASS
I went outside and got an education, that's where I learned that you can obtain knowledge and insight through analytical methods, then noticed that some people who sit on the internet yelling at strangers get really mad about that constantly.
Don’t make me point to the Omar Sakar poem
