I honestly think Gen-Z and younger simply does not understand how recent widespread smartphone adoption is.

I am not that old, and I didn't have a smartphone until probably late high school. For most of my life, many if not most people were not walking around with a magic internet machine in their pocket that they pulled out and used constantly for everything.

Happy Moon Day Monday!

It forever amazes me that it was a mere 66 years between the first piloted, heavier than air airplane flight and a man walking on the moon

Bohemian Rhapsody. We Will Rock You. Somebody To Love. All hit singles, and all the direct product of a band that was formed when an astrophysicist and a dentistry major found a new friend in an art college, who then went on to recruit a fourth member from the electronics school. Based on this alliance I propose the rift in society between Arts and STEM students was fabricated to keep us separated so as to dilute our true power - and fabricated by who, you may ask? The business major, the only member of society who reaps no reward from art and science and thus must weaken us so as to stay ahead. In this essay I will

hey, so. I'm multiple flavors of queer and disabled, and I don't got a lot to work with for the rest of the month again. bank account, paypal, and credit card are all overdrawn by $2-15 usd each. and I kind of need stuff to eat that doesn't require cooking.

I got heat stroke a few years ago and I start getting nauseous and headachey and extremely anxious once it starts hitting like, 75f, or 29c. cooking in the summer heats up my whole ass apartment to the point where I will start having some serious problems. it's going to be in the 90s here this week. and I have to go out in it.

so I would like to get food that I can eat cold, rather than having to deal with the stove at all. also some stuff to drink, as I am almost out of like...all of that. I'd also appreciate the opportunity to get ice cream or something, because things kind of suck right now and it would be really nice to be able to have.

current cart for walmart is $146 with fees and driver tip, as I am unable to drive, the bus doesn't run sundays, and it's not safe for me to take my wheelchair and go to the store myself. if you could send me a couple bucks or give me a boost, I would appreciate that.

The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

common advice for social anxiety is to tell yourself "people aren't going to think less of you just because you said something a bit daft" but the thing is. sometimes they will. and you just have to learn to be cool with that and to treat it as a dnd random encounter rather than letting it ruin your whole day

recent example. lady at my careers appointment had a post-it with her name on it stuck to the monitor, so i introduced myself by saying cheerfully "hello, i'm eliot! you must be [name], it's nice to meet you!" and she stared at me as if i was the stupidest person alive and said icily, "yeah, i'm [name]. congratulations, you can read."

in bygone times this would have reduced me to a sort of quivering blancmange. thankfully i am now in a place where i was able to pull back, evaluate this interaction, and say to myself "this woman should probably not be working in a customer-facing job"

don’t ever kill your self because maybe someday you will get brunch with your tumblr mutual

[legsdemandias]

Do you think tumblr will ever learn the difference between “I’m defending this person because I agree with them wholeheartedly and I am also like this person” and “I’m defending this person because your behavior is dangerous and you need to stop”

[legsdemandias]

IMO, blurring the lines between “I’m defending them because they’re right” and “I’m defending them because you’re taking this too far” is step numero uno to cutting down the very existence of fair trial and democracy–even in places where saying that might seem a little dramatic. 

Mob mentality is extremely strong in humans and it’s also extremely dangerous. Mobs don’t think things through. Mobs kill and they destroy and they can’t be reasoned with. Someone trying to calm a mob down isn’t someone defending the ~problematic party~ It’s time we re-learn that.

*Urgent*

My bf and I are trying to pull together money for first and last on an apartment as soon as we possibly can

Both of us are in less than ideal situations, with me living precariously with family and him having no fixed place to live

We have a place lined up, but we need to pay first and last month's rent in order to secure it, and we need to do so as fast as possible

If anyone can help out, we take donations over PayPal or e-transfer (you can DM for e-transfer info)

I do writing commissions on Ko-fi, where you can also donate

We have to put together a total of 3200 CAD so obviously this is pretty stressful, and any and all help would be much appreciated!

I'm going to update this post with both the amount of any donations we receive, and the amounts of our paychecks when we get them, so the total raised will reflect the complete amount of money that we have set aside as opposed to only showing what's been donated (to avoid any confusion). I also applied for a government assistance program for first and last, which would take care of about 1000-1600 CAD, so I'll include that if I am able to get it

2435/3200 CAD

[newsfromstolenland]

My bank account is empty, and we need to get groceries and cleaning supplies for the apartment

Please, if anyone can contribute to help with that to get us through to the end of the month, it would mean everything to us

0/250 CAD
