Media literacy is at such an all time low that I think creators should get into the habit of writing

“this is just a game fuck you”

and

“the curtains are a metaphor you fucking troglodyte, pay attention”

On a black screen before the start of the show. I’m just… like???

My English department absolutely fucked bitches and got money but surely this issue is a cultural one, right? I know teachers aren’t failing y’all THIS bad.

Somehow I know pdf Nazis are behind how annoying media discourse has gotten, I just can’t prove it yet.

You want to get yelled at by a buncha commie hippies?

Dare to tell them that the whole “never clean a cast iron with soap” schtick is a fairy tale from like 1600 or however the fuck long ago

You can just scrub new oil into it after a wash.

That’s what you should do.

Keeping the same old rancid oil in the pan doesn’t do anything. The oil isn’t for flavor it’s to protect the metal. The metal doesn’t care. It’s metal. You could use mineral oil for all a cast iron pan cares about maintenance.

I wouldn’t but you could.

Wash your fucking dishes, ya tree fucking dirt worshipers.

If you need fat in the pan for food add fat that’s been stored properly. Ya know, like someone who is cooking something.

Like… common sense if you think about it for even a second.

Bro absolutely COOKED with this.

If you ever hear the phrase "fascism is aesthetics as politics," that's what this post is talking about.

It's not about being tough on crime, because the absolute toughest most brutal measure you could take against "crime" as a social problem is to alleviate poverty, and increase access to education, healthcare and social mobility.

It's about performing "tough on crime" as an aesthetic by enacting violence against a prop, i.e. minorities and the impoverished, who are fetishized and objectified to represent "crime." They are brutalized as punishment for crime, but never with the purpose of alleviating the problem of crime.

This is why a lot of conservatives and other right wingers can get straight up angry when you suggest things like reform or social measures to reduce crime. They don't want crime to be reduced, they want an eternal war against "crime" because it provides an arena for the righteous to demonstrate virtue by brutalizing their enemies.

The suburbs dream of violence. Asleep in their drowsy villas, sheltered by benevolent shopping malls, they wait patiently for the nightmares that will wake them into a more passionate world.

Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Kids books is probably not the best way to word it, you can enjoy them at every age, including your childhood, as you get older you may find new truths in them, but they're still good for any age.

The first photo is from 1956. It shows a Black woman watching members of the Ku Klux Klan (a terrorist, racist, far-right organization focused on white supremacy) walking along a sidewalk in Montgomery, Alabama (USA). I couldn't find the photo's author, but most sources state that it was taken in 1956.

The second photo shows members of the Patriot Front group (a white supremacist and nationalist group, formed in 2017, that openly advocates what they call "American Fascism") traveling on the subway during the 250th anniversary of the U.S. independence in Washington D.C., while a Black woman watches them. The photo is by photographer Cheney Orr, taken on July 4, 2026, 70 years after the first photo.

when your art program’s closing message hits you straight in the heart and makes you stop and contemplate the state of it all

[aurosoulart]

because of the huge response to this post, I decided to make a version of the art that includes the text

I’ve also uploaded this design to INPRNT, and all sales proceeds will be donated to environmental and humanitarian charities!
