absolutely the worst part of the male helplessness fetishism is that men know about it and will weaponize it against you. they will fuck up and do stupid shit and pretend not to know how to clean a mirror or find grapes at the grocery store and then simper and giggle expecting you to think its adorable. and then they will get REALLY angry when you do not
OP(!) this should not be hidden in the tags
"Why do you buy books when the library is right there?"
Because publishing houses will not continue printing paper books if libraries are their only customers.
Also, I like being able to read at my leisure and generally have books at hand.
#public libraries are good because they let people access books they might never otherwise read#private book ownership is good because it's Yours#physical books are good because they last a long time and again it's Yours#ebooks are good because you can fit a whole library into the physical space of a single book and they're cheaper to produce#audiobooks are good because they're accessible to people with eyesight or visual reading issues and leave your hands free#in conclusion: all books are good and people should enjoy them however and whenever they can#(lest it be misunderstood I agree with you completely OP I just also really like books in general and it got away from me)
YES. all books. every kind
truly so funny how dans seen as all edge and darkness and phils reputation is the sweet innocent cute one when in reality dan howell is a deeply earnest theatre kid who loved winnie the pooh as a child and phill lester lies for fun and used to wish death on other children
Due to my weird childhood and my weird brain, I have this very unhelpful compulsion to conceal Everything I do from Everyone. I Cannot be observed performing any action, no matter how mundane. My nervous system is convinced I'm gonna, like, Get In Trouble for eating food at dinnertime or sleeping in my bed at bedtime.
I've taken to asking myself, "Okay does this task actually require subterfuge or am I stealing a balloon on Free Balloon Day"
I see from the notes that we're all havin a normal one 👍
the funniest thing about actors who play multiple characters in dw is that sometimes they explain it and sometimes they just don't bother. like the twelfth doctor looks exactly like that one dude he met in pompeii two regenerations ago because he chose that face on purpose. martha looks exactly like some random girl who died at canary wharf because they're cousins. there are multiple distinct characters who look exactly like clara because she entered the doctor's timestream and all that weird sci-fi nonsense. but sometimes it's just like... the second doctor has an evil mexican doppelganger for no reason. there's a weird guy from alabama in the 60s who looks exactly like steven for no reason. there's like three different guys who are all mark gatiss
Before I log off, im sure you guys have heard about the blackouts in Cuba a result of the oil blockade by the US. Please consider donating this group that is planning to bring direct aid to cuba
Really easy signature. Takes 10 seconds 👍🏾
and the fda is looking to eliminate limits on meatpacking kill lines
meatpacking workers experience more injuries on the job than all other jobs in the us COMBINED
on average an employee at Tyson's Foods is injured or experiences an amputation once a month
there were about two amputations in the US per week involving slaughterhouses in 2018
slaughterhouse workers in the us are 3x as likely to be seriously injured and 7x as likely to suffer long term strain as other US workers
BOYS NIGHT, 15th March, Senate! bring your own booze! remember what happens in the senate stays in the senate ;). BOYS NIGHT BOYS NIGHT BOYS NIGHT
Sesame Street posting techniques for comforting children during traumatic world events feels so fucking dystopian but here are the slides they posted just in case you or a loved one has any little critters at home right now
No one is doing well right now, but being a little critter right now has got to be terrifying. This is such a crushing series of images, especially considering PBS’s funding got slashed. While I’m happy Sesame Street continues to keep the wellbeing and education of children as a major priority, there’s a certain amount of innocence that Sesame Street represents and this is giving me such a visceral feeling rn
sesame street has been meeting kids where they were at since the 70s, and in the 70s, POC kids were in some pretty scary places. what contemporary white parents might perceive as a sudden dystopian horror is, sadly, the level of trauma, violence, insecurity, and fear that a lot of non-white families have had to navigate for generations. it has always been hard and heartbreaking for some families to try to protect their kids from knowing how dangerous the world is and how much some parts of it want them dead. now it's white parents time to join in that important work. i don't meant to scold, but i want to remind: generations of kids have taken much-needed messages of comfort and solace from sesame street, and the people there have always known, since the start, how much we need bravery and compassion. it's not about innocence and it's not about ignorance: it's about love. this is their entire mission, and they're staying strong. we can too.
New York City's new mayor is unplugging a disastrous government chatbot that encouraged small business owners to break the law.
And the funniest part?
this framing really winds me up. no knock on mamdani, but a lot of these key changes are the result of a tremendous amount of unsung work by the DWCP and other agencies and lawmakers. he’s not flipping switches that other politicians have refused to touch, he’s arriving at the moment those switches are ready to flip.
there’s just something off about giving all the credit to a charismatic socialist and ignoring the collective work that made these things actually possible, y’know?
This is exactly what bothers me. Changes like this take hundreds of people and thousands of hours of work to pull off. Everyone wants to sneer at the idea that important things take time, effort, and money to implement, and use Mamdani as evidence that everyone who claims it can't be done in 5 minutes with some elbow grease is a scam artist and a liar, but it's flat out not true.
In Mamdani's own speech, he says:
"Under President Biden, the FTC took sweeping action to go after junk fees and they delivered change. Under Chair Leader Khan, they instituted a junk fees rule that they estimated would save Americans 53 million hours a year that they would otherwise spend searching for the true price that they would have to pay, or $11 billion in time savings over a decade. We are going to deliver similar action on behalf of the 8.5 million New Yorkers who call our city home."
Lawmakers and agencies have been working to eliminate junk fees since at LEAST 2023, when Gavin Newsom signed a bill banning junk fees in California. Biden then took up the work with the FTC, targeting hidden fees on live event tickets. Biden went on to work with the CFPB to remove junk fees on banks and credit cards. The CFPB is continuing this work, which you can learn more about over here.
Even with the Chatbot thing -- Mamdani didn't just turn it off. He (and especially his crew) worked up a report to show where funds were being wasted in city government, and then did a presentation on it where he pointed to the specific failure of the Chatbot. He still had to go through a process to prove why he was taking action, it just so happened that this was comparatively quick fix, on account of being one single program running on one single government website.
#stop ignoring the work #it has to get done #there is no loophole #there is no perfect person who can just make things happen #there are only people doing the work #and people continuing the work until it is done (via beezelbubbies)
Yes to all of this.
BUT, and this is important, there has to be a leader who wants to do the damn work and who wants these projects enacted.
Yes hundreds of people worked on these, but you wanna know why these things weren't happening under Mayor Adams? Because he didn't care. So he didn't order them to work on it. Because, and this is important, government employees arent going to work on a project unless ordered to. Especially when they've been assigned to work on something else.
Leadership matters. Anyone claiming otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the world the last few years.
I had a more sustinct version of this in one of my reblog tags, but basically yeah. People can do all the work they want, but when the person holding the reigns of the budget tells them the pound sand, that work comes to nothing but wasted effort. Both the hard effort of people on the ground floor and the coordination and cooperation from the people in power are needed for effective change. If one or the other is missing, we get what we've had the last couple decades: stagnation and regression.
Please for the love of all things good and true in the world, remember this!!! The progress DOES actually take time and budget! Drill it into your head as we go into the midterm election season!!! There are already people in the comments of this very post comparing Mamdani to encumbant Republicans because "he's just breaking things". That's not what is happening here!
Anyone who bleats about socialist Democrats being the same (or worse!) than conservative Republicans is either an idiot or a psyops. Block them, drown them out and remember that progress is a journey made one step at a time.
making my april fools predictions. we have a couple options this year
kiss picture BUT they put a 😛 emoji over 90% of the photo
fake engagement but it says "he said NO !!!" with like sparkles and shit
another coming out video but this time they come out as vegans. follow up video is an apology for being fake vegans.
"WE GOT A DOG!!!" and it's a stuffed corgi in a similar style to the pheal. they call the corgi the phorgi with the pronouns phorg/phem
the make a video saying they lied and they aren't actually together. the video ends with them saying "we aren't boyfriends we are husbands" and they never bring it up again
they kill us with lasers ???
how insidious to make young girls buy hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, to force them to read up on its theory, to make them practice it for hours in order to escape mockery, to make them feel safe only when performing this hyper femininity, and then to even have the audacity to package it in feminist language so that they firmly believe it sets them free.
who called you out on your sloppy wings
I know you probably think you’re really witty, but I just want you to know that you, and all the other people who made that joke, prove my point exactly.
UNGRATEFUL tech companies are saying things like "turn off your ad blocker" and "we need your photo id" instead of "thank you so much for not just pirating our shit, youre so handsome"
hmmm
One of their last Tweets before the account got suspended:
With an update since getting it back:
this is wrong
Yeah, she could’ve done this in her standard Sailor Moon form. Super form is overkill, really.
Sailor Moon is stronger than Goku. I don’t make the rules. Fight me about it.
What!? 👀
I’m on a still active forum, with a solid vs debate scene. Sailor Moon vs. the God-Emperor of Mankind from 40k is one of the most treasured threads there, as Sailor Moon trashed the guy.
19 pages straight of debate over Sailor Moon vs. God-Emperor of Mankind, in which every time a 40k fan desperately brings up a new point, it immediately gets negated by another one of Sailor Moon’s powers
Getting plowed is for the country folk. Here in the city we call it being taken to pound town. And if it's a place with decent public transit, getting railed.
