im still on break but just so everyones clear i do not support alex and i will not be engaging with tmc anymore. however i will be leaving any tmc content as well as my three tmcblr accounts (@/ctorres74, @/joelhersheysofficial, and @/olive-heathcliffe-bps) undeleted. deleting things (especially things that were/are a fundamental part of my development, as was the case with tmc) makes me extremely anxious and i know i would come to regret it. thanks for your understanding im gonna go back on break now ✌️

just so it shows up in the notes: this is an extremely good thing, which is why you will see the internet/cell companies revolt against it-- it will prevent them from selling your data to spamcall companies and selectively throttling their competitor's sites, among other things.

also remember that the internet has basically replaced phone service entirely now, with most phones now simply operating via VOIP. legislating the internet the same way as landlines were is really a no-brainer, it's the same service in a slightly different form.

What we need, long-term, is for Congress to make a law about it, so the definition doesn't change every few years when a new FCC is in place.

each day i must leave the sweet, warm, tender embrace of my bed and venture into a cold, uncaring world that hates me being toasty warm and wants me to suffer for sins i have not yet committed

oh shit i didn't expect this to actually get notes lmao

these are all direct quotes from jeffrey jerome cohen's "monster culture (seven theses)" (full pdf linked) i highly encourage you to read it yourself!

that said, while i think cohen's writing is evocative, it can be a little dense, so while i'm here, here's my capsule summary (you can also hear me talk about this in the first episode of my podcast) (listen to @ghostswerepeopletoo)

i. the monster's body is a cultural body - The monster is a work of fiction to be analyzed through tools of literary and sociological theory.

ii. the monster always escapes - As long as the cultural fear from which the monster stems persists, the monster will reappear in retellings, reimaginings, and sequels.

iii. the monster is the harbinger of category crisis - Monsters defy binaries and challenge easy comprehension or categorization.

iv. the monster dwells at the gates of difference - The monster represents the Other.

v. the monster polices the borders of the possible - Tales of the monster exist to discourage unacceptable or taboo behaviors.

vi. fear of the monster is really a kind of desire - Subjects can vicariously participate in the disruption of the social order through the monster.

vii. the monster stands at the threshold… of becoming - Within the monster we find information about the self.

Climate change has made many natural disasters worse than they were before, especially hurricanes, tornados, wildfires, and flooding. So I am curious:

Which natural disaster concerns you the most where you live?

Hurricanes

Tornadoes

Floods (Flash Flooding)

Landslides (Mudslides)

Wildfires

Drought (Famine)

Blizzards

Severe Thunderstorm

Heat Wave

Volcanic Eruption

Earthquake (With or Without Tsunami)

Other/More Than One (Explain in Tags)
