There Will Be Typos

Caitie. 30s. She/her/hers. Interests include classics, socialist theory, queer characters and a variety of fandoms (wot, merlin, tlt, danmei, yoi, one piece, dunmeshi, etc.), witchcraft, horror, science, cults, animanga, social dancing, figure skating, and niche fandom drama. My politcal opinions range from: decentralization of power in social structures should be an essential human ethic and direct action agains't property to protect humans and ecosystems is always justified to yes it is praxis to vote strategically in US elections and it's cool when DSA endorsed candidates win. Juggling hyperfixations. Prone to rants and rambles. If I follow you it’s probably because I thought your url was funny. Queue is untagged and only occasionally empty. Obies, irl friends, and mutuals encouraged to say hey. PSA: —idol inspo— is a tag for a dystopian novel concept I’m working on. Which is why there’s weird and horrible stuff with that tag on it. PSA PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i spam wheel of time stuff every wednesday if you don't want to see it blacklist the tags 'wot' and 'wot show'

Me, pointing at a whiteboard full of ancient Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation English-language fandom fanfiction drama: "-so I do entirely empathize with the 'someone is wrong on the internet' reaction to the infamous Jewish Lan Sect fic, but the scale of the backlash was straightforwardly antisemitic and often deeply hypocritical in its framing. Which brings me to my proposition. The vibes of a hardcore Buddhist sect in a culturally-Buddhist milieu are not those of an enclave of a minority with fundamentally different underlying religious and cultural beliefs from those around them, but I believe we can make Jewish Lans work. It simply requires that everyone else be Jewish as well. So in this scenario, extremely Orthodox Lan Qiren keeps catching Wei Wuxian microwaving a plate of cheesy bacon bites at midnight on a Friday, about which WWX is always able to produce a weirdly well-cited argument that this is kosher actually, while gobbling down the Cheesy Bacon Bites, and then as soon as he finishes them he will always claim to have seen the error of his ways even though both of them know he will definitely do it again next week."

The random person I have tied to a chair in my basement: "Mmf mmf mmf!"

Me: "Look, we'll get to my thoughts on the Drake/Kendrick beef when we get there."

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

there's no satisfaction in being right about the boat sinking when you are also on the boat, never mind below decks, with no hope of a rescue. I don't like smugly saying I Told You So because despite being ardent and vocal and pushing for strategies to mitigate climate change, my people are still dying. Black and Indigenous people in the United States and Canada are nearly always right when it comes to how we navigate disasters collectively, and they're never listened to except for after the fact (usually when its too late!! Huh! Wonder why that is!)

Folks want a quote from a Black or Indigenous person for their blog, but they don't wanna change their environments or GOD FORBID their consumer habits, even as the oceans rise to your door and the wildfires and logging bring down every old-growth forest.

(the history you cut out and paste into your cutesy little Revolutionary Scrapbook is still happening and still being made, btw. Your actions are part of it.)

anyway. I'm sitting here under a pungent yellow sky and aching for my people and the forests of Ontario. The Namaygoosisagagun First Nation (Collins First Nation, for the colonizers) fled on boats while the trees next to their houses burned. Thunder Bay is full of displaced Indigenous peoples trying to breathe with air full of ash. Gayaashki-zaagiing Anishinaabeg (Gull Bay First Nation, again, for You Folks) peoples were ordered to evacuate in the middle of the night and were just told there are no accommodations for them, now that they've escaped. Thousands of people scrambling for protection and safety, while a bunch of white colonizers complain about the smell of smoke.

None of this is new. It's all a very old song.

But, as my mother would say, the drums will get louder and louder until you listen.

Washington Post is paywalling the article but it looks like Taylor Farms — a consumer bagged salad brand that also supplies produce to grocers and fast food chains like Taco Bell, Walmart, McDonald's, Chipotle, Burger King, KFC, and Meijer —may be at least one of the sources of the current cyclosporiasis outbreak.

Taylor makes bagged greens, salad kits, chopped salads, the works. Keep avoiding supermarket greens, but keep an especially close eye out for this brand/supplier. The above list of grocers and fast food chains is NOT exhaustive, so please continue getting lettuce and other raw produce taken off your burgers, sandwiches, etc.

I present a clip of Neilly from the Leftist Cooks being delightfully unhinged. I adore you, Neilly and Sarah.

From their latest video, which is long but full of great info.

vegetarianism/veganism/pescatarianism

currently one of these (or something similar)

have been in the past, but not anymore

have never changed diet to specifically cut meat consumption

attempted but it was very brief/doesn't "count" to u for some reason or another?

consciously eating less meat but not cutting it out

some other nuanced answer

Remaining time: 2 days 13 hours

just out of curiosity bc i grew up around a lot of vegetarians but haven't met many as an adult. no judgement here :p

I love listening to the sounds of summer: several tiny hummingbirds battling it out over the nectar feeder that they could all use simultaneously with no problem

There's something about a lonely human walking in the snow with decaying megastructures in the background that really sings to me.

The Kalyazin RT-64, built to speak to long-dead spacecraft on Soviet Martian/Venusian missions and possible extra-Solar communications.
