“we live in an uncaring universe” yeah dude and I live in an uncaring house. and I shit in an uncaring toilet. but do you touch an uncaring lover? do you comfort an uncaring child? do you guide to sleep each night a cold and uncaring self?
please hurry up in reblogging this I wanna jorts it before someone puts it in one of those heartwarming tiktok slideshows
i was like 'what could jorts it possibly mean' but as with many things clicking the original post immediately clarified the situation
reminder for all hockey fans:
netflix is making a hockey show called "the sticks" that is based on a very real tragedy that occured in canada in 2018.
the show follows a minnesota high school team after their bus crashes and coming back to hockey afterwards.
in 2018, the humboldt broncos' (a junior A team made up of 18-22 year olds) bus was hit by a tractor trailer on a highway intersection. 16 people (10 players, 2 coaches, and 4 team staff members) were killed, along with 13 other players severely injured.
the memory of the humboldt broncos crash is an incredibly sensitive subject carrying a lot of trauma to both the survivors, their families, and deceased's families. the trajectory of hockey in canada was changed significantly after this tragedy.
despite this, netflix has decided to make a show using the death of young hockey players for profit. they did not consult the survivors, nor the deceased's families. they stole a canadian story for a feel-good cash grab.
i understand wanting to watch shows about hockey, but this is not the show to watch. do not give it attention, as the humboldt broncos' memories deserve to be theirs and theirs alone to share.
This is how Netflix advertises the show btw… They’re calling it “your new hockey obsession”. It’s disgusting.
One of the kids on the Broncos lived on my block. A coworker lost her brother in law. This tragedy was widely felt in Canada as a whole - flags at half-mast level.
None of the families even knew about this show until the media started asking how they felt.
It is taking a tragedy and turning it into a cash cow.
This was such a deeply-felt issue that even the truck driver pleaded guilty and has tried to make amends. (And as he is facing deportation after his sentence, some of the families have even started supporting him being allowed to stay in the country.) There is a real story you could be telling about community and resilience that is not just turning one of the worst days for THE NATION into cheap thrills and sensationalism.
Don't watch. Don't tweet. Pretend this show does not exist.

"impulse buy" (noun) anything I have been low-key thinking about purchasing for 3 months, an item that subsequently spent 24-48 hours in my cart as I went through each and every state of grief, and which I then bought, in a desperate, the-guilt-can't-get-me-if-I'm-fast-enough rush.
If you take the bus, wave to the driver and thank them as you're getting off the bus.
Being a bus driver is an underappreciated and difficult job but still very vital to society. They still have to do customer service and deal with rude and even aggressive passengers, and on top of that have to deal with traffic and other drivers all day (and let's face it, there's a lot of bad drivers out there who aren't considerate about sharing the road). All while providing an invaluable service of getting us where we need to go. Showing them some appreciation can go a long ways for someone doing such an important job that usually gets little to no recognition or thanks.
my publisher: Good morning! Huh did you advertise for the pre-sale yesterday? Because we launched twelve hours ago and we already made sales!
me: yeah, i posted on tumblr
publisher: .........tumblr?
me: that's where the gays are.
(link to Mrs. Victoria buys a brothel, a sapphic western)
update
publisher: And what is your marketing strategy on... tumblr?
me: idk, i shitpost at 2am?
publisher: .....and it works?
me: depends on what the gays find funny at that point in time.
publisher: Could I have a link to your tumblr?
me: .......absolutely not.
(link to Mrs. Victoria buys a brothel, a sapphic western where 50 year old women kiss and murder)
update!
publisher: I've been looking into tumblr, have you thought of using Blaze to promote your book?
me: NO
publisher: But it seems like an efficient way to get this in front of more eyes-
me: people on tumblr hate Blaze.
publisher: There is no algorithm and you can't pay to promote a post? I don't understand how anyone advertises anything on tumblr.
me: That's the best part. They don't. They can't.
(trying to make him understand that we do not control the attention. We just have to show something shiny and gay enough and if people are interested, they'll reblog.)

update with picture of a pet!
This is Cosmos, my publisher's dog.
He barks at my publisher's phone notifications. So every time a book is sold, Cosmos barks.
It's been days.
I think you guys would love to know that when you buy a book, a dog barks in Vancouver, Canada.

Reblog to help the gays find books and because OP is going to have their blog escape containment at their place of work due to their own choices
Girl fucking remember this !
"if you convince people that there's no difference between a blood thirsty dictator and a dedicated leader who is human and thus unable to solve every problem, the dictator wins."
Millions died of covid because Trump dismantled the international disease task force with some of the hardest hit areas being minority communities and Native American reservations.
Hundreds of thousands of people overseas now will die of aids because he dismantled the USAID.
None of that would’ve happened with Clinton or Kamala. Not voting because you think they’re the same or being tired of democrats being uninspiring is the White Person moment. Everyone alive in the US needs to humble themselves that they were privileged and lucky enough to survive Trump’s first term, because a lot of vulnerable people aren’t alive to say the same. Not participating doesn’t make you a sovereign citizen, it’s just avoiding responsibility for our out of control country so you don’t have to get a bad taste in your mouth.
Millions of people - mostly children, mostly in Africa - will die over the next few years due to the USAID cuts.
People of color, regardless of immigration status, are being kidnapped off the streets.
ICE is summarily murdering people.
Civil rights is under attack. LGBTQ rights are under attack. Trans people are being criminalized.
Millions are at risk because of rollbacks in vaccine programs.
Ukrainians are freezing and dying while Trump tries to help Putin.
If you don't think this matters you are the most despicable sort of person.
To bounce off a post I saw earlier:
If you think you aren't antisemitic, BUT you do one or both of the following:
You tend to believe non-Jews when they accuse a Jew of being a "Zionist", and you understand that when they say "Zionist", they are calling that Jew a bad person, so you now believe this Jew is a bad person...
And/or
You're hesitant to believe a Jew saying "Hey, this person was antisemitic" (especially if they were criticizing Israel or "Zionists") and you just want to pass it off as antizionism not antisemitism...
And/or
You are hesitant to listen to Jews about what Zionism means to them, or what their connection to the land of Israel is, or anything about the history of Jews in Israel, because you've been told bad things about them and about Zionism from non-Jews
...
If this is you, you are unconsciously antisemitic. I'm not saying you're a bad person. I'm saying that if you are quick to distrust Jews and hesitant to criticize non-Jews, you have a bias against Jews. You learned that from our society, because society is antisemitic as a whole.
OH, I see the misunderstanding now! You thought I didn't *understand* your ideology! No, I totally follow your logic here, it all makes perfect sense the way you've laid it out. What I'm saying is that you're wrong
My college course in logic taught that truth, validity, and soundness were different things. True means that a fact is a real fact, not a misunderstanding or mistake or lie. Valid means that the argument is well structured: if these facts are true, then this conclusion is also true. Sound means that an argument is both valid and true. All the facts are true and based on the facts the conclusion makes sense.
Many of the things our political enemies believe are valid. If the world actually worked the way they think it works, their opinions and decisions would be reasonable. Unfortunately they're starting from premises that are just 100% untrue, like "Men and women are basically different species".
You would think this meant that all you had to do to change someone's mind about a topic is to convince them that their facts are wrong! Unfortunately that just kind of doesn't work very well for psychology reasons.
Reading old books gets an extra layer of fun when you start to piece together how all these historical eras run together. The heroes of one era become the stodgy out-of-touch parents of the next. 1920s Bright Young Things are calling people "Victorians" in an "okay, Boomer" way. Victorian novels have Regency rakes hanging around like old hippies. Regency novels have old Georgians who still powder their hair. It's just fun to see the mixing of generations, the mix of old and new, because history's not neat little boxes, it's life all jumbled together.
I can't get enough of middle aged people in the 1930s speaking nostalgically about their youths in "The Nineties"
so much of the french revolution is just various people going "surely committing THIS act of violence/murder will end all the suffering and bloodshed and usher in peace!" followed by a summary of how everything immediately escalated and got even worse afterward. and somehow this website's takeaway is "clearly acts of violence and murder are the only way to end suffering and usher in peace!"
I don't know guys I think we might actually have to actually put in effort and not conflate working toward a better society with seeking personal catharsis.
Just one more mass purge bro just one more mass purge the utopia will totally work if we just indiscriminately kill a few thousand more random people just one more purge
I cringe so hard every time I see someone talk about how "we need to bring guillotines back" or smth. That tells me you don't know anything about history
Why are people so offended if you don't like Mamdani lmao. He's a fucking politician. Why do I have to be in his fan club? If he ends up being great for NYC, cool. I still think it's stupid to act like he's idk The Face Of The Party when he is literally just a mayor who isn't even one year into his term. Also I live in fucking Tennessee. I didn't vote for him. I never will vote for him. Because I don't live in NYC.
Also fuck that guy for ass-kissing Trump. Why do we just blow past that? Kamala Harris did 2 campaign stops with Liz Cheney, who lost her political career for opposing Trump and I still have to hear people whining about that. But Mamdani does his little photo op and defends Trump's health and it's him playing 6D chess.
Like why are you so fucking obsessed with this dude. His wife worked for a woman who calls Jewish people cockroaches. What are we doing.
They want to fuck him.
No, literally, I'm like 80% sure it's because they think he's hot.
Maybe the most damming thing about Nolans odyssey is i haven’t seen a single gifset from it
