Secular Humanism is cool but Satanism is Punchier

I'm a series of chemicals and electrons crashing around a squishy computer piloting a meatsuit on a rock hurtling through infinite nothingness. Transhumanism is already here. We are communicating asynchronously over vast distances in space and time at this very moment. - - - - - nothing matters. we've been dead for millennia without even being aware of it and we'll be dead for millennia more soon enough. - - - - - eat food. read books. be gay. do drugs. write poems. sleep in. work hard if it's something that is important to you. don't do it if it doesn't matter to you. - - - - - Hail Satan. Hail Plurality. Hail Compassion. Hail Solidarity. Hail Me. Hail You.

Hey - you. Send me pictures and I'll rate them.

If you don't want me to publish them in my rating just say so, I ain't no snitch.

i hate the "we should only have queer actors playing queer characters" argument for several reasons. but what annoys me the most is that people who argue this straight up don't realize that it's illegal to ask someone about their sexuality in relation to a job interview. like an audition. i don't think breaking anti-discrimination laws to screen people's sexualities to determine their employment is the woke take you think it is.

"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 

[barksbog]

This also applies to all plushies. Every single plushie is made by people, there is no way to make them without human labour.

Unless you buy them from small scale makers who make them themselves, this means they were made in a factory, the same way clothing is.

what a time to be alive

Centering Black environmental thought and indigenous medicine ways is to recognize that food deserts are not naturally occurring but designed to displace people from resources for profit. Food deserts are in fact food apartheids.

i have a suggestion

[isuggesteatingtherich]

me too

[op1umtr33]

I live in a food desert, and most days I starve.

Prices are expensive even when I can make it to a store and my meager salary causes issues.

free use is kind of a funny kink bc it relies on the idea that everybody wants to touch you and have sex with you but what if they don't. what if you tell everybody at the party you're free use but they all ignore you and mind their own business

what I've learned from having other people edit my work is that I have a sick addiction to commas

[pangur-and-grim]

there have been four editing passes on my spider sex book, and each time they take away so many commas. no fresh commas are being added, this is just a continued culling. if you see a comma in the final book please understand that it survived so much

[radicalized-ramblings]

really pissing me off to see so many people writing off the motivations behind the current wave of censorship & surveillance bills in the West as about “parents too stupid to monitor their kids on the internet”

these bills are about CENSORSHIP AND MASS SURVEILLANCE. “protecting the children” is a conservative smokescreen and by repeating that narrative, even in contradiction, you are reinforcing it. do not give these far right wingnuts an ounce of credibility. I know you know the words censorship and surveillance.

courtesy of past failures of legislation, it’s increasingly difficult to keep kids away from the dangerous parts of the internet, even in spaces that are supposed to be child safe. do not insult people for struggling to navigate the internet.

kids need opportunities to exist outside of their parents, and the internet is one of the last safe havens left in countries rotting under the weight of industrialization. children are already the most oppressed class in the world. do not encourage parents to invade their kids’ privacy.

again, and I cannot stress this enough, these bills are about CENSORSHIP AND MASS SURVEILLANCE. the goal of these laws is to allow governments to monitor and manipulate huge swathes of the human population. the goal of these laws is to weed out political dissenters and destroy access to information that contradicts propaganda. I do not believe it's a coincidence that this is happening now, in the wake of mass disillusionment with Israel.

I’ll keep reblogging info & action posts regardless, but know that if you've done this, you are choosing to be part of the problem. do better.

Actually witches grow from the bottom of the cave up while wizards grow from the top of the cave down

[what-even-is-thiss]

Also wizards will try standing on the broomsticks like a surfboard and fall off while witches will sit on them and not fall off but definitely feel extremely stiff when getting off

[fatal-blow]

god i wish more sources talked about "sex" hormones like this

ironically its in a book about female sex anatomy that ive come across it (Vagina Obscura by Rachel E. Gross). everyone only wants to focus on the secondary sex characteristics and not the bazillion other functions of estrogen, testosterone, and co.

every body uses both of them!! for a million reasons!!!!! aaaaaa!!!!!!!

Remember when Xbox was going to basically ban used games for the xbox one, and Playstation made fun of them with that video titled "how to share games on Playstation" and it was just one guy handing another a game disk? And now Playstation is getting rid of physical disks entirely

[larken-the-skies]

It’s like they expect us to just forget their original marketing schemes in favor of more and more money grabs.
