i have a suggestion

at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

funkyness

what’s more iconic than this

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

i think i saw a movie like this once

maidslime

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace

This would make a great movie.

images: two tweets by stand-up comedian Benny Feldman.

the first picture shows a tweet:

"Don't police comedy" Well. I'm not going to arrest anyone. I'm not even trying to cancel anyone in the 2010s sense of having them lose their job. My goal for comedians who make regressive jokes is for them to change their minds. And for everyone to understand why jokes matter.

the second picture shows a quote retweet. twitter user ChoppedBeef says:

"All I want is for everyone to agree with me"

to which Benny Feldman's response is:

I would like everyone to be not racist instead of racist, yes

end image descriptions.

benny feldman's the man who gave us 'it's just a joke dude. and the joke is just rooted in ideas. that i'm enforcing' and also 'it's just a joke dude. it's just one of the most digestible and powerful forms of persuasive rhetoric my guy'. he posts a lot of his one-liner sets online. he's a very good person to check on occasionally if you're interested in the philosophy of humour.

I can't remember who said it but I saw a comment or tweet talking about hypocrisy that essentially said The Hypocrisy Is The Point. hypocrisy is power. it's the ability to set rules for everyone else except you. and if power is a virtue then hypocrisy is a virtue. it's why you never really get anywhere with "by your logic..." or "then wouldn't that mean...". it's not that they don't realize they're being hypocritical. they do it on purpose to prove that you have to listen to them and they don't have to listen to you

People love natives in such a superficial way. People wanna stand with natives when we’re talking about the trees, and the land. People wanna stand with natives when we talk about philosophies of love and togetherness. But as soon as it’s time to talk about political side of being native. About dismantling a system built on the genocide of our people. About how we need a new system that isn’t built upon capital gain and benefitting white bodies. About putting up a fight. About how the colonial state we reside in is a disgusting imperial plague on this land. Suddenly y’all don’t wanna talk native.

"They spent hundreds of years trying to assimilate my ancestors, trying to create indians like me, who could blend in, but now they don’t want me either. They can’t make up their minds.

They want buckskin and face paint, drumming, songs in languages they can’t understand recorded for them but with English subtitles, of course. They want educated, well spoken, but not too smart. Christian, well behaved, never question. They want to learn the history of the people, but not the ones that are here now, waving signs in their faces, asking them for clean drinking water, asking them why their women are going missing, asking them why their land is being ruined.

They want fantastical stories of Indians that used to roam this land. They want my culture behind glass in a museum.

But they don’t want me." -Shelby Lisk

If the trash pickup people stop doing their job for two weeks you'd be throwing a fucking tantrum. Same for the janitors who keep your office spaces and bathrooms clean. (And that's before the various illnesses start to spread all over your city from the build up of pathogens.)

The people responsible keeping our spaces clean (and thus, mostly disease-free) should both be paid more AND thanked more.

If some tech billionaire who makes a million an hour stopped doing his job for two weeks, nobody would notice... well, some might notice because things would suddenly improve across the board.

The ornage plague bearer has returned

covid-safer-hotties

Will y'all admit that Biden bore the plague for four years, or are we just gonna talk about frito lay products for the next four years?

therainbowgorilla

They both bore the plague but at least Biden didn't actively rail against vaccines

Both are iredeemably evil for the harm they've caused to all these people. But it's even WORSE somehow when Trump is involved because at least Biden was just old and evil. Trump is old, STUPID, and evil.

covid-safer-hotties

Biden completely demolished any test/trace/treat infrastructure, got rid of free testing and vaccinations for covid, encouraged people to unmask despite the lack of proof that vaccination alone would stop the spread of covid, did not speak out against mask bans, and didn't do a damn thing to combat vaccine "hesitancy" which is now leading to the massive flu wave that's happening when flu is normally dwindling. If you can't see the stupidity in Biden stripping public health and pushing "back to normal" during an ongoing pandemic while diseases like measles, tuberculosis, and whooping cough reach levels not seen for decades and keep rising, you're obviously not engaging with reality from a place of good faith. We're in a vax and relax public health strategy where not even a quarter of people are getting their vaccines updated, but at least he isn't [food product] man, right?

covid-safer-hotties

An excellent summation

covid-safer-hotties

See, we're criricizing past administrators for their quantifiable betrayals of the American people because... well it *happened.* Instead of attempting to scry what may come through the looking glass and goats bones and tea leaves, we are pointing to the things by which the democrats gave the massive potential to these anti-science actors on a silver platter by downplaying everything their voting base brought up or cared about and sprinting to the right to appease people they called fascists not two months prior. Discussing the recent past is in no way "downplaying" a future which is malleable and has yet to come to pass. The Yellowstone caldera could blow in 6 months. Covid could put Trump down for the count like it did Biden. Aliens could land in China and attempt to bring us into their federation of planets, only to betray us and use us as beasts of burden. All you can do is speculate until the present has become the past. Focus on what's in your control. Focus on what's recorded. Quit trying to pretend like consuming the latest breaking shit out of every white house press briefing is helpful and not literally a control mechanism. News as distraction and manipulation isn't a new thing. Ready this book.

I really struggle to understand anyone who professes to care about an issue then gets mad at posts like this.

What is the plan? Do you expect an issue to get sufficiently acknowledged if you're not consistent and vigilant? If you pick and chose when you care or when it's bad? If you essentially take the phone off the hook for years then put it back when you feel like you're now in danger?

Because fuck the people sounding the alarm bell on something like this for years right? Screw their incessant calls. We'll sacrifice them, it's okay. Disabled people in particular have been talking about this, but ignore them because them you had an election to win!

I just... do the people who care now really give a fuck? Or is this just some convenient criticism to you? Something you're now willing to admit is bad because you can lob it at a Trump. But will drop, ignore, or excuse it should we get another Democratic president?

Because that is a moral failure of epic proportions and isn't going to get us anywhere.

If can't engage with the government and presidency honestly? If you're not willing to admit any kind of president is going to do screwed up things that you need to address and hold them to task for? That Democrats too uphold the system in a way that sacrifices people and empowers Republicans?

If you can't hold everyone accountable regardless of their connection to you and what they do for you?

You're not ready for conversations like these. Stop entering them. Because it's disingenuous and you look childish.

"It's not that bad when my guy/team does it" is a child's logic. Enough.

I also want to add that a lot of people really weren't paying attention to the last four years if you can say that Biden is just "old/stupid/geriatric" or whatever.

First, Biden is a fascist. He is not a bad person because of concepts of ableism and ageism you tie to him. He is a direct actor in state violence and genocide. I really need people to stop picturing Biden as bad because he's old or "geriatric" or "stupid."

Democrats have also been very directly complicit in the eradication of public health and specifically with the pandemic. He makes fascist, genocidal, eugenicist decisions with a clear and conscious mind.

We have when the Biden administration and Harris specifically abdicated responsibility concerning the Delta variant:

Vice-president’s candid admission on Covid variants came in wide-ranging interview with the Los Angeles Times

We have that time Biden himself urged others to divert funds related to covid protections and public health to instead increase policing that directly kills disabled, in particular Black disabled people at disproportionate rates:

New York, Washington and a number of other major cities have reported increases in violent crime since the start of the pandemic.

People have been talking about the criminalization of masking that has already been in motion now:

Opponents denounce ‘dangerous’ Nassau county law making it a misdemeanor to wear a facial covering in public

Amid calls to reinstate mask bans, Covid-19 cases remain on the rise in 38 states, according to the CDC.

There's been coverage for years now about how Biden's policy on the pandemic has been abysmal:

Continuing its anti-science, anti-worker guidelines, the CDC considers once again weakening isolation recommendations for COVID+ people

This isn't even getting into the Biden administration rulings on testing and vaccination distribution, household counting, and so much more.

Biden himself got covid and repeated much of the same propaganda and disinformation surrounding the level of danger covid poses and pushed the "back to work" narrative for a reason.

The president continues to feel well, there is no reason to re-initiate treatment at this time, but he will isolate, said White House physic

Hell, for all the talk about the election outcome, it was repeatedly crickets when we repeatedly pointed out how the effects of the pandemic have changed the political landscape because so many people more likely to even vote democrat are now dead or disabled.

I'm barely even touching on the full extent to which Biden and other democrats have destroyed public health in the last four years, but I cannot emphasize enough that these are not "oncoming" threats nor are they exclusively republican threats.

If this isn't the point you're getting from these critiques, you're fucking up. Real radicalism seeks to address the root of the issue, and the issue isn't just one party like so many of y'all demand, it's the whole fucking system based on white supremacy and greed.

Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.
