Btw, if you have not had tragedy dropped on you before, grief does fuck you up in unexpected and physical ways. If you can’t sleep or sleep more than expected or have more or reduced appetite, or energy goes weird— your brain just had a bunch of emotions dropped on it and sometimes it reacts by hitting every button in your brain. It will pass. Just try to not get too frustrated with yourself.

It’s also fine if you feel normal. Grief literally hits everybody differently, and some people are made to be able to to keep the farm going the day after a death, and some of us turn into sleepless gargoyles and get really into trying to help, and some of us are just unspeakably sad. Grief is weird. Be kind to yourself.

Something else I want to say is that grief is cyclical. It is very common to go "why am I just a wreck today/this week" and then you check the calandar and see that something awful happened at this time last year. Or a couple years ago. Or a decade ago (my decembers are a wash every year).

So if you find yourself having memory issues or unaccountably grumpy or anxious for no reason or however it hits you, be gentle with yourself.

It looks funny, right? You think it looks funny.

I do too. But it lives its whole life. So you have to take it seriously eventually, right? And be respectful and shit.

I think it can digging in the ground for tubers.

This post lives in my head. I deeply love “I think it can digging in the ground for tubers”

But I can’t stress enough that echidnas cannot be doing that. They are insectivores. Their mouth is not at all capable of biting a potato.

[worm-suggestion]

Well…

Maybe it just keeps them. I don’t know.

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html

how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity

when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it's made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen

ouch

[txttletale]

was reminded of it again bc i saw the "funny" "meme" referenced -- seriously Fuck parks and rec for its long-enduring idiotic racist joke about venezuela, a country whose per-capita incareceration rate was, at the time of airing, a quarter that of the usa's!

[redstonedust]

i think people really under sell the physical side effects of mental health disorders sometimes. like sure the depression and anxiety may be 'just in your head' but when what's in your head happens to disrupts your sleep schedule and prevent you from going outside regularly and eating consistent meals and exercising and generally taking care of your body. well it sure takes its toll huh.

Pluribus, in-text: yeah so the hive is like when forced assimilation and subjugation and cultural genocide in the name of global peace and safety, and gay conversion therapy, and pacification through forced addiction, and punishment via solitary confinement to coerce cooperation, and how blackboxed and forced from above simulacra is built on and sustained by stolen labor and leads to dehumanization, and the cult logics of impossibility of refusal and escape, and the lack of respect for what is at the core of bodily autonomy and consent, and the lack of cross-species empathy or feeling of responsibility for continued husbandry, and the fallacy of the innocent bystander. oh yeah, also they eat people. metaphorically but also literally. btw did i mention cultural genocide, check it out. *shows an aborted ceremony and abandonment of an entire community upon finalized conversion*

does anyone else feel like we need to raise the standard for writing quality across all mediums like right now

The "TERF" acronym rolls of the tongue so well that it's easy to reach for any time you see someone be transphobic which is a problem because it's eroding the distinction between Random Guy Who Hates Trans People and someone who's actually subscribing to a failed feminist analytical framework.

If I were to take a wild guess I'd say the majority of pro-trans internet users can't accurately describe where the views of those two differ, and that's a problem for anyone seeking to avoid having actual TERF ideas get popularized in trans spaces.
