***Because they don’t have TIME to read

***Because they don’t know HOW to read

***Because they’re not ALLOWED to read

***Because they weren’t TAUGHT to read

***Because the generation BEFORE THEM were never taught HOW TO READ or how to TEACH READING

***Because we DON’T VALUE INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS

***Because our society prioritizes PRODUCTIVITY over QUALITY OF LIFE

Sick of the “yall are stupid because you’re lazy” narrative. Obviously people with no time no family no money no books no education no perspective no respect no options no support no mentors aren’t perpetually disseminating themes of Othello on the fly.

People aren’t stupid, reading isn’t the peak proof of intelligence, and society isn’t on a decline because poor people are poor.

You’re confusing a symptom for a cause

You have to treat the symptom, CURE the disease, and love the patient more than you love feeling right

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

I couldn't remember the word "doorknob" ten minutes ago.

I don't need to know anything else about this man to know we would have been great friends. An absolute legend. I wonder if I can find the actual story about that conviction, cause you know there is a story there.

[dovewithscales]

I can and did. He attended a protest against a poll tax, and when he saw a cop choking a protestor and objected, two other cops pinned him to a wall and choked him into unconsciousness. He woke up in jail charged with assault, and one of the cops claimed he'd bitten him on the hand.

The bite mark was proven not to match his teeth, and it's presumed that the cop bit himself to frame Mitchell. But they convicted him anyway despite proof it wasn't his teeth that bit the cop. Ergo, he was convicted of biting a cop with someone else's teeth. The experience led him to a lifetime of activism work and getting a law degree so he could fight injustices like the one he faced.

Alistair Mitchell, 61: Lawyer whose calling was knocked into him at a riot

Private Eye once described Alistair Mitchell as “the only man in British legal history to be convicted of biting a policeman — with someone

why is this post completely broken in every way imaginable

[cecilsrandomeverything]

Broken notes… deactivated account… removed image….

Finally, we have them all.

[spacefinch]

In addition: OP’s name is just… gone. No “[insert username]-deactivated[insert a bunch of numbers]” as is the standard for deactivated blogs.

Just the world “deactivated.” Look upon their post, ye mighty, and despair.

[chatblancofficial]

It’ll be almost impossible to find this post unless it wanders across your dash.

[huewrite]

It wandered across mine. I shall help it travel forward.

not to vague anyone but switching from spotify to youtube music is not raging against the machine <3

[galacticneighbor]

I saw the "youtube music is raging against the machine" post again so instead of ripping someone's throat out with my teeth here is Arthur's Official Media Privacy For Dummies Post <3

My credentials are that I have 700 songs I didn't pay for on a refurbished ipod from 2007 and it's AWESOME. (PS backmarket.com for refurbished tech they have lots of old ipods if you're into that. But also phones and laptops and shit for cheap.)

First off. Reddit.com/r/piracy forever and ever. Go through their masterpost they have literally anything you could ever want. You will never pay for media of any sort again. The people of reddit are smarter than me.

If you currently use Spotify and wish to stop, here is where I would start:

1. Bandcamp!! If you want to financially support your favorite artists it's Bandcamp.

Plug your playlists into merch table they will do the hard work for you here <3

2. Spotidownloader

Put your playlists in they will spit a download link out it's so easy. All the metadata is there and everything.

They can only do 100 songs at a time so it's not ideal for a bigger library but it works fine for what it is.

3. Lucida

Awesome for full albums or individual songs if you're just looking for a few things and not transferring a whole library.

3. Newpipe

https://spotalike.com/en

A handy youtube clone that's good for streaming or downloading music and videos.

And finally, this isn't piracy advice but you don't need daily curated playlists and you definitely don't need yearly listening stats. Listen to the bands your friends listen to. Keep a list of songs people recommend to you. Try to find a local radio show or a college radio channel. Go to local shows. Be curious about genres and new bands. Put effort into curating and owning your music library, it's worth it.

Here's a few I have

[iggydafiregremlin]

Ok so yall, I’m taking a creative writing class right, and well, the teacher is very chill and letting us right about whatever we want, so I obviously chose to do one of my major hyperfixations, Spider-Man. So I got this idea for an Absolute Spider-Man, but it’s not inspired by the dc comics but rather the Ben 10 version. So what I’m thinking is what if I kill his entire family off, except his sister Theresa, and see how he reacts. It’ll also be a mid 90s, early 200s New York in a world where heroes, villains, and powers, have been heavily intertwined with the public and the world since WWI. Now, another change is that the hero who basically mentors him, won’t be iron man, but it’ll be either punisher or moon knight. Now I’ve got so many ideas for this, and I’m currently fleshing out the entire world and I’m def gonna do art about it, but what I was wondering is if yall would be interested in me posting it once I’m done?
