some carrie fisher tweets to brighten your day

[donnajosh]

…and if you stopped talking about theoretical physics.

[emigafield]

I wonder what it will feel like.

[medievalswords]

when lizzo said “self love is survival” and when hannah gadsby said “do you understand what self-deprecation means when it comes from somebody who already exists in the margins? it’s not humility. it’s humiliation” and when mitski said “i used to rebel by destroying myself, but realized that’s awfully convenient to the world. for some of us our best revolt is self preservation”

[gnascher]

when audre lorde said “caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare”

[darkalleysunflower]

when Jenny Slate tweeted, “As the image of myself becomes sharper in my brain&more precious, I feel less afraid that someone else will erase me by denying me love”

Medusa with the Head of Perseus, Luciano Garbati, 2008

[arbitraryimposition]

I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.

[drunkenhills]

Also look at her body. The double hips. The asymetrical boobs. She’s thin, but she’s realistic as hell. That’s a real woman.

And the look in her eyes. Damn.

[marlene]

I originally saw photos of Garbati’s Medusa a long time ago, but I specifically remember this post from earlier this year. Medusa was one of those pieces that really buried into my head and heart. Sounds silly, but just looking at it gives me strength.

Today I was lucky enough to see it in person. She’s incredible. And, something that the original pictures don’t show— she’s HUGE!

[heroineimages]

I love this even better now that we can see the baffled look on Perseus’s face.

I feel like this comes under the category of “no such thing as a low skill job”

If I could chop onions like that you couldn’t tell me SHIT.

I have this tiktok saved n thought.. Others might like it too..

[noahparaduck]

is there an alternative where you don't have to use alarms though?

[crowrelli]

ive seen people use counting down from a certain number or for a duration of a song on their playlists too!! 

[emigafield]

i have used whole playlists for getting ready in the morning (back when i had work and it was outside and there was not a pandemic)! it’s great for depression, too. they were all cheery upbeat songs and signalled when it was time to transition to say, brushing my teeth. they also were timed out according to how long i needed to do each lil task, but padded ofc to account for unforeseen obstacles! i was always on time. for a year!

[catchymemes]

[amalgamationofspirits-deactivat]

These tags!!!! Yes!!! 1,000,000 times yes!!

[milky-mami]

WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE THOSE IN THE TAGS

[oldearthaccretionist]

Also, no documentary is unbiased. They are all constructed into a narrative, that’s just what documentaries do. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing but it is absolutely something you need to keep in mind when evaluating a documentary.

They can be full of very good information especially as an introduction to a subject but don’t take them as COMPLETE information and keep in mind that constructing a narrative (often to convince you of a thesis) is inherent to the format.

And then Planet Earth is just like CHECK OUT THE MATING DANCES OF THESE FUCKING WILD BIRDS IT’S MADNESS

[emigafield]

im so excited for halloween season this year!! feels like something normal. like a safe circle of horror which we choose, which exists inside the larger increasing circles that keep descending into the void. i want to choose my void, i will descend into the larger void while staring at my smaller one full of pumpkins!!!

This depends STATE BY STATE (or town by town), so check out your own state's rules. As for everywhere, only poll workers are banned from this, and people holding up signs for candidates have to be a certain distance from the building.

This word of caution is from someone who has worked the polls a lot in the past: More and more I’m seeing women announcing they will be voting with shirts, buttons, masks or hats that say “Ruth Send Me”, or something similar. [Transcriptor Annotation: the late Supremecourt Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. /End of Annotation.] Remember: political messages aren’t allowed in the polling place (that could include [Black Lives Matter] shirts, unfortunately.) Also unfortunately, messages can be interpreted by whoever is in charge. It could mean, in some cases, that a voter wearing a shirt they believe is political can be denied the right to vote after waiting in line for hours. Approach this election strategically and vote smarter and cleaner than ever have before. Understand that the other side will do what it takes to advance their agenda. We need to vote in record numbers. But we need to vote smart. We can wear that wonderful “Ruth send me” shirt or mask when we get home, and raise a glass in her memory. Please copy, or paraphrase, and share with the groups you are members of, as appropriate. Help spread the word so that every vote counts! We all know what’s at stake. Do not throw away your shot.

[al-the-grammar-geek]

Thank you for the image description!

[knottahooker]

I remember a story of someone having trouble at the polls because they were wearing a Stark/Rogers (as in Tony Stark and Steve Rogers, the very fictional people) so BE CAREFUL. 

[politijohn]

[politijohn]

Yes, this is really a thing…

[solitarelee]

Yep, because baby formula is one of the most shoplifted things in America. Which should ALSO radicalize you.

[girtheemoninja]

Or… We stop shoplifting? 🤔 Are we demonizing acts to stop crimes now?

[demonius-darkblade]

ill tear your head off your shoulders you dumb fuck

[jana-the-clown]

I’m all for radicalization like the government and society are fucked. But they put baby formula in locked cases because it is used to make meth. The store does this to keep an eye out if someone is buying way too much. Like waaaaay too much.

[40ouncesandamule]

No. They lock it up because hungry babies need it and there is a thriving market for stealing baby formula because people will pay good money to guarantee their babies don’t starve.

You can’t make meth out of baby formula. You can stretch some drugs by cutting it with baby formula but “Drug dealers sometimes use the powdered formula to dilute heroin and methamphetamine or to stretch the product when supplies run low. However, experts say that more often than not, formula is stolen because of its high market demand among consumers rather than drug dealers.”

This is what imperialism and capitalism and the “war on drugs” does to people’s brains. You can see that people are so desperate to feed their babies that the people who rule your lives keep baby formula under lock and key but rather than that radicalizing you and making you want to fight for a world where no baby ever goes hungry, you justify this draconian bullshit because you’ve fallen for the propaganda that baby formula is used in some nebulous relation to “drugs” and drugs are bad so whatever inhuman monstrosity that occurs must be justifiable.
