This fucking goober

I’m playing through shadow of Mordor for the first time

And this Uruk

This hopeless hapless chap

Is such a goober

And I love him for it

hmmm….

You are a princess. Your evil witch stepmother turns you into a swan. Instead of running away to mope around in a lake and be beautifully tragic, you decide to stick around the palace and cause problems on purpose.

[infectiouspiss]

kids deserve so much more respect and it turns out that saying that is a great way to locate the horrible people in any community <3

[infectiouspiss]

you'll say something as simple as "no child deserves to be hit" and people will crawl out of the woodwork to explain why they should be allowed to beat a 6 year old for spilling some water

[infectiouspiss]

you'll say "i think it's weird that adults literally have control over when children are allowed to use the bathroom" and up pops a teacher to say that when they're not shouting at the kids they teach, they're trying to stop them from hiding in the bathrooms

you'll say "i think children shouldn't be forced to eat food they hate" and here comes someone who feeds their kids plain rice and boiled chicken (while eating a nicely seasoned stirfry) claiming that it's okay actually and kids shouldn't be allowed to taste things

you'll say "i think kids should have bodily autonomy" and in comes someone who pierced their babies ears before it was even 24 hours old, frothing at the mouth because their kid wanted a haircut and thats somehow an insult

[infectiouspiss]

children are an oppressed class and everyone should be looking back at their own childhoods and making sure they don't ever make a child feel the same way they felt.

[wilwheaton]

"children are an oppressed class and everyone should be looking back at their own childhoods and making sure they don't ever make a child feel the same way they felt."

I wake up every day, and I make this choice. I encourage you to do the same.

average hobbit trilogy watching experience

[elbiotipo]

pretty disturbed every time when I find a science fiction/fantasy fan who says "well actually I WOULD be racist against aliens/robots/orcs and I want them to die horribly HUMANITY FUCK YEAH", you're failing the most basic "see yourself in the other" kind of fiction thematic

[elbiotipo]

And they always say something like "humanity fuck yeah" to say they're not racist against other humans (they often are)

"I believe that all humans are equal, and they're superior to aliens/others" without seeing how incredibly fascist this is. Fascists also believe in equal rights and prosperity for THEIR KIND of people. These HFY idiots think that human rights are something that we deserve because we are born in a certain human form, not because of "humanity" (which might be the hardest thing to even define). Oh, and when happens when you slightly deviate from that human form, huh? Well, that's easy, you get no rights. That's never happened in history before, right?

Again this is basic "fascism is bad" kind of fiction thematic and they fail it

[elbiotipo]

This is about a comment about that scene in the Animatrix where a robot woman is brutally murdered while crying she's real. It's a really harrowing scene.

And someone shat this crap as a comment:

Being cis I don't feel I can properly comment on the trans allegory (though it is quite obvious and important), but first of all, how can you type this without realizing you sound like a slave owner.

And also, would you? Would you grab a sledgehammer and brutalize a robot marching for her rights while she's pleading with you for mercy? Would you? Would you really, really grab a weapon and do that? If so, I don't want you near me.

who else knows the feeling of being extremely underrepresented in a very specific debate in a very specific fandom

[justleaveacommentfest]

Authors won’t know if you’ve reread their fic unless you comment again!!! Go forth friends and comment again!!!

GO FORTH AND COMMENT AGAIN!!!

[azriona]

No, seriously, if you're reading a fic for the second time, and bemoaning that there isn't a way to leave second kudos... just say that in the comment box! "Second kudos!" Even if you didn't leave a comment the first time--it's okay! You don't have to say anything else, I promise, we will still be happy to see it, because it means you read it AGAIN, and that's one thing we're always happy to know!

[ahotknife]

this has me in tears btw

[libraford]

Parks patron: hey what are you gonna do about that graffiti?

Me: it's on the side of a business building, so the business owner has to take initiative

Patron: but it's visible from the trails!

Me: it is not on our property, so it falls on the owner of the business.

Patron: don't you have a graffiti task force?

Me: no, sir.

Patron: when I lived in Georgia we had a graffiti task force that would take care of that.

Me: we do not have that here.

Patron: you'd think the parks and rec people would take care of graffiti in their parks.

Me: we do. This is not on a park. It is on a business.

[libraford]

Patron: you see, there is also a sticker.

...

I'm sorry, is the sticker menacing you somehow? Is it scary? Are you being threatened by the vinyl?

[libraford]

Like I'm not saying it's great art

It's fucking ugly.

But also what you want me to do about it? Spend a day scraping it off the side a building whose owner is famously difficult to get ahold of?

[libraford]

Truthfully, the skateboarders that made it have been adding to it every few months and I kind of want to see where they go with it.

“make yourselves impossible to ignore. 10,000 signatures on twitter is a lot but 10 unique personal emails is enough to derail an entire council session.”

[starlightomatic]

I was in a city council meeting last week about defunding the police and one of the council members mentioned multiple times that she’d been inundated with calls and emails all that day saying to defund the police.

[to-transcribe]

[ID: Two screenshots of a twitter thread by alex flanigan, anti-fascist @Coff33Detective from June 12, 2020 beginning at 11:25 AM that reads: hi! i work in local government and community management, and i’m here to tell you a secret: it is like, really, really easy to overwhelm the people who work in your local government. especially right now. especially on things they can actionably do or impact.

you may not know this, but i bet your city or town or municipality has a website. i bet that website has some contact forms or email addresses on it. i bet you can use them to put together a message in about 5 minutes! i bet it’s almost as easy as signing a national petition.

which is to say: i’m noticing, like most other people, that the national level discussion on really important and long overdue issues is flagging. but the internet and news cycle is not the only battleground, and you will be pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to—

—fight those battles at home, on your own turf, with much more immediate impact, and they are so, so important.

I am begging you: make my job, and the jobs of people like me, difficult right now. flood us with demands. make yourselves impossible to ignore. 10,000 signatures on twitter is a lot but 10 unique personal emails is enough to derail an entire council session. End ID]

I’ve been a city council observer with the League of Women Voters for nearly a year, and I have witnessed the following:

A few guys voicing their anxiety about speeding on a street where their children play and suggesting a radar speed sign. Despite catching all of two meetings where this was mentioned, I walked back home one day and–yep–there was a radar speed sign up.

A persistent force of 3-5ish loud residents coming to zoning and council meetings because they did not want a drive through style restaurant moving into a particular area where there were already major issues with traffic congestion and safety. This eventually resulted in a Chik-fil-a having its planning proposal shot down by council such that the lot is now likely to house an Aldi. I am getting low cost groceries instead of bigotry chicken in my neighborhood because of a D&D party’s worth of regular speakers.

A turnout of residents shouting down an attempt to reduce the amount of funding for the community Juneteenth celebration until Council backed down. One meeting. Roughly a dozen people + their kids speaking about the significance of the holiday. The celebration ended up having its full funding restored.

In my experience, it is incredibly easy to bully local politicians and get some sort of results, especially in small municipalities. If you have something that you want to see happen at the local level, seriously try to contact your local officials and see what you can make happen.

I single-handedly got them to double the number of chickens you are allowed to keep in my former town.
