"crochet can't be made by machines" went from being a cool fun fact to being a call to action of "so if you see mass manufactured crochet in Target, that was made by a person and they were underpaid and you should boycott it" which is true, it was made by a person, but EVERY item of clothing you own (that you did not purchase from a company using ethical labor) was made by a person being underpaid (at *best*.)

Sewing machines are operated by *people*. Knitting machines are operated by *people*. Yes lots of the process is automated but you cannot tell a machine "make me a t-shirt" or "make me a knit cardigan".

Higher awareness of fast fashion, and the true human labor and abuse behind it, is GREAT, but let's not pretend that the crochet hat in target is THE problem. Every article of clothing in target is the problem. "All clothes are made by people" is the jumping off point here into understanding this issue it's not just crochet it's the whole thing ahhhhHHHHHHHHHH

If you've ever seen images of sweatshops in the early 20th century, in New York or the UK or other developed countries

Guess what

Your clothing is still made in a place that looks like that. The only thing that's different is the tech level of the sewing machines and the race of the workers

WHY AREYALL DOING THIS

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

We’re all having a midlife crisis leave us be

[ooppo]

I remember one time I got INSANELY high off of edibles while playing Among Us, and it quickly became apparent to the other players online. I forget how honestly but literally anything "sus" I did was ignored by everyone because I was so fucking high. I tested this theory by standing in front of a body and the person that actually reported it didn't even mention me. The funniest part was when I was trying to do wires, I kept fucking up over and over again, so I was just standing in front of wires for actual minutes trying to figure it out. A small crowd of players gathered around me to watch and would get mad every time someone reported a body or emergency meeting because "she's never going to get her tasks done if you keep interrupting them." I don't think anyone cared about winning at that point, they just wanted to see the high crew mate succeed in her tasks.

THIS IS 1000% ACCURATE LMFAO. Thank you op

Ohhhh yeah

[analogdelight]

Sorry drag kings aren't as popular. I guess masculinity doesn't work that well as a costume to be mocked

[evelynstarshine]

in IRL scenes, drag kinds ARE more popular though, because they are respected as artists and performers, not as something to be mocked.

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

[ninanation]

please keep talking about how Becky from Maryland doesn't like the rising gas prices. It's clearly the more pressing issue.

[creacher-art]

USA folks, that is a consistent temperature range hitting 113°. Death Valley temperatures. In Banda, it hovered between 116°-118° (47°-48° C) for a week straight.

This has been happening all month with little to no international media attention. Here are a few organizations you can check out for resources or to support:

ActionAid India

SEEDS India

GlobalGiving

Raise India (Project Tapan)

if you're a pixel artist and never tried working with a reasonably accurate CRT filter I HIGHLY recommend it

[organical-mechanical]

i'm definitely reaching for colors and techniques that i otherwise wouldn't use

it feels a lot more sculptural

[organical-mechanical]

oh, and you can pull bullshit like this:

[organical-mechanical]

I mean, not necessarily. There are color palettes and techniques that look fantastic on a flat screen, but horrid on CRT.

Like, look at this kitty:

Looks great here, but with a CRT filter? Completely obliterated.

Pixel art that wasn't designed to look good on a CRT doesn't always look better on CRT.

He has to be built with a completely different approach:

really sick of all that shit i keep seeing on instagram about the world cup being like "americas sleepover" and people are like "im so happy people are coming to visit to see america isnt all that bad!!"

nobody has ever fucking said that living or visiting the US sucks for white people. its not fucking about them

Not to be a bitch but sometimes people engage with fiction in the most boring way possible, and nowhere is this clearer than in videogames. Like what you mean you hate a character just because they were kind of abrasive when speaking to the player character? "They were mean to me" and it didn't occur to you to wonder why? Like, what might their attitude toward you reveal about the world? About the social dynamics within it? About their own perspectives and backgrounds and personalities? Does it even occur you to ask? Would you only have liked them if they bowed to your presence and talked about how great you are? Like I'm sorry but you're so boring. How boring fiction would be if it cathered to you

You ever notice that poverty is considered evidence of failure in socialist economies but considered no big deal in capitalist economies?

It's because poverty is an inherent feature of capitalism. Poverty means capitalism is working as intended. Capitalism couldn't function without poverty.

always remember that if u dont know someones pronouns especially online you should default to she/her

Didn't get around to doing much for Pride this year, so instead have some Sloth almost at the end of the month.

educating yourself on dog whistles of all kinds will have you feeling insane in settings where nobody questions anything they're parroting

[expertpedestrian]

how has the discourse not yet moved on from the apparent belief that the entirety of transmisogyny can be experienced when one is briefly mistaken for a trans woman on the street

structural oppression is more than that one time someone yelled at you

[memedream-jokingmachine]

Are you mistaken for a trans woman at the doctor's office, at the dentist office, on your paper work, in your queer friend group, on the group chat, at the protest rally, at the welfare office, at your workplace, in the courtroom, at the socialist/feminist study group where everyone is encouraged to give their names and pronouns, in the soup kitchen, at the op shop, at the bus stop, in the governmental building, in the police car, at the police station, inside the jail cell, at your criminal hearing, inside the prison's walls, in the rest home, at the public pool, at the nail salon (working or not), at the pharmacy, inside the hospital, at the union meeting, in the dungeon, at the weekly Ttrpg session, in your photos, inside your friends house, inside your partner(s) parent's house, at your family gathering, at your partner(s) family gathering?

Are you mistaken for a trans woman, every where?

[expertpedestrian]

Once again reminded that one of the most popular answers from trans women, when posed the question, "What would you do if cis people didn't exist for one day?" was "Go swimming."
