the sooner you understand that the entire united states political system was intended from the very beginning to be conducive to entrenched power and ideological inertia, the sooner you’ll realize the only viable solution is to scrap all of it and rebuild it from the ground up

[tchaikovskaya]

it is incredibly unusual for a legislature to be specifically designed to make the legislative process as slow-moving and convoluted as ours is. also for it to be so incredibly difficult to amend our constitution or even draft a new constitution altogether. thats not even getting into the role of the judiciary or the unique nature of our executive branch. and its not a coincidence that this fossilized system of government was put in place 250 years ago by a bunch of slave-owning colonizers who broke away from their imperial core because they didnt want to pay taxes lol

Yeah quiet quitting is great and all but have you tried chaotic working?

Like. I remember back in my grocery store cashier days I did so much crazy shit.

When WIC (Women, infants, and children voucher program to help low income mothers/families with children) people were in my line I would pretty much know who they were. Before the cards they had to tell us upfront they were WIC and show us their vouchers for what they were allowed to get (it was awful some times. Like. 2 gallons of milk. $4 worth of vegetables etc etc). They’d always have items hanging back, waiting to see what the total was and if they would have to take it off the belt.

I began to place the fruits/vegetables a certain way on the register scale so that like 1/2lbs of grapes read as like .28lbs or something. Then act shocked when I said that they still had X amount of lbs left. They got all their fruit and vegetables.

I think it started to kinda? Catch on to the women? Because I would have the same moms in my line month after month. And even after they switched to the cards (they worked like food stamp cards?) I’d still do the same thing. They were able to get more produce for whatever shitty max amount Indiana gave them.

Anyways. Be chaotic. It’s more fun that way.

I bet if a mushroom could lap water out of your hand with a tongue that a gently drinking mushroom tongue on your hand would be the softest and gentlest thing.

jesus christ, i experienced brief but severe grief over not actually being able to experience this.

[cipheramnesia]

I think it would feel like a lizard tongue but I've never had a lizard drink out of my hand either, and thus the whole thing remains conceptually elusive.

this put such a vivid image in my head i needed to make it real as soon as i got home

This makes me indescribably overjoyed.

"tbh we might have clowned on [aros & aces] a lil too harshly" bigotry. the term you're looking for is bigotry. denying communities their vocabulary and ability to safely exist because you think you're the personal arbiter of which identities are "valid" is bigotry. minimizing and infantilizing and harassing entire groups of people based on their orientation is bigotry. aphobia isn't some forgettable phase of being cringe as a teenager, it's bigotry that inflicted long term damage to these communities.
