I like that this one didn't really blow up but it has been the number one most common post I see in my notes ever since. wall-to-wall âhey. fuck youâ type responses interspersed with thoughtful reflection.
I continue to have no resolution for this thought, we are poleaxed together, so I'm very pleased that my emotional terrorism has gone according to keikaku.
you ever realize how able bodied people just are not expected to do things that cause them excruciating physical pain? like theyâre just. not
if i shouldnât use my cane because i can sometimes technically walk without it, it would just hurt like a motherfucker then abled people should no longer be allowed to use potholders to take things out of the oven because i mean
well they could technically pick up a hot pan with their bare hands. it would just hurt like a motherfucker
if you use potholders how will you ever build up the calluses necessary to pick up scalding hot metal without burning yourself so severely? itâs like youâre not even trying to get better
As a professional cook I was, and still am, able to pick most stuff up out of an oven without a pot holder. I might get blisters and maybe it will hurt, but usually it wonât
AMAZING! based on this one specific individualâs experiences i will now safely assume that itâs possible for anyone to overcome hand pain & leave potholders behind for good!!! as long as you want it bad enough, anything is possible!! make this story go viral so that all those self pitying losers who still use potholders know that thereâs no excuse
campus antisemitism got you down? let me introduce you to the TITLE VI COMPLAINT.
This is not foolproof, but it's how I killed SJP on my campus.
See, the thing everyone on campus fucking forgets is that "Israeli" is a NATIONAL ORIGIN, and that's a protected category under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which like... is wildly in danger in this day and age but that's not the point. The point is that anything that receives federal funds is vulnerable to a Title VI complaint, and you know who receives federal funds?
COLLEGES. UNIVERSITIES. EVEN PRIVATE ONES. Because you know what counts as federal funding?
STUDENT.
LOANS.
That's right: if your institution offers federal student loans, YOU CAN MAKE A TITLE VI COMPLAINT.
And because a Title VI complaint threatens a school's federal funding? They do NOT fuck around with them. They won't always be able to tell you the exact action they take (in fact, they'll hardly ever be able to tell you), but they WILL have to take action if your local band of antisemites is posting anti-Israel crap.
And how do you MAKE one? Why, through this extremely handy portal! But your school should also have a process for making one, and if you have a diversity office or something akin to that, you can also have fun freaking them out by walking in and saying, "Hi, I'm here to make a Title VI complaint." Usually this will cause people to get managers. Federal discrimination complaints are a big deal.
DO NOT get bullied out of making your complaint. DO NOT let someone file it for you. Fill out whatever thing there is yourself, and let them know you've done so. And get a copy if you can.
I hate cigarettes so much I hate that smoking is becoming cool again I hate that we're becoming contrarian hipsters about this disgusting habit that has literally killed so many people and destroyed so many lives I'm so serious we need to become absolute killjoys about this again it's time to go 90s scolds on cigarettes until the scourge is wiped out entirely.
Genuinely I just don't think people younger than 35 know how good they have it. I distinctly remember the year in my childhood that it became illegal to smoke in restaurants, I remember what it was like when people used to smoke indoors everywhere, you all think it's cool because it's this illicit fun thing people are doing drunk outside bars now, you don't remember what it was like when fucking everything reeked all the time and you couldn't get away from it and how life changing it was when you could suddenly go out to eat and everything didn't taste like ash and all your clothes and hair didn't stink for days when you got home.
Also, holy fuck, vaping counts. Vaping inflicts almost all the harm of actually burning tobacco, plus the possibility of severe acute lung damage from untested flavorings or other additives.
You cannot vape inside, secondhand vape smoke is real and people do not want to share your cloud.
wait, soâŚfrom what Iâve witnessed and personally experienced, and from what Iâve read or been told about the experiences of others, every fandom, every disability/chronic illness space, every pop culture/film/music space, every book space, hobby spaces (including things like gardening and bird watching), crafting spaces (knitting, crochet, painting, etc), doll collecting spaces, cottagecore spaces, nail polish and makeup spaces, travel spaces, historical interest spaces, science focused spaces, cycling and running spaces, and rock climbing spaces (Iâm sure Iâm missing some) have all been consumed by this, to the point of Jews having to leave because they donât feel safe, and weâre supposed to act like thatâs normal and not a coordinated effort of mass indoctrination, division that is hindering any possibility of progress, and proliferation of antisemitism? okay.
(obviously I am against illegal, criminal, and violent actions carried out by settlers, and I should not have to reiterate that disclaimer whenever any of us discuss these topics. thatâs not what Debbieâs talking about either.)
rent lowering gunshot time so i actually do not think all israelis are evil or that israeli companies are untrustworthy or indeed that israeli newspapers are wildly inaccurate simply because they are israeli. holding any of these views is bad and xenophobic actually. performative protests against israeli people existing in the global space a la refusing to play the israeli football team are completely ridiculous and also xenophobic. <3 bye if u think this post makes me bad and racist for some reason & maybe think about why you think that
âSwastikas in punk are basically another way for kids to get a rise out of their parents and maybe the press, both of whom deserve the irritation. To the extent that most of these spikedomes ever had a clue what the stuff originally meant, it only went so far as their intent to shock. âItâs like a stanceâ, as Ivan [Julian] says. âA real immature way of being dangerous.â Maybe. Except that after a while this casual, even ironic embrace of the totems of bigotry crosses over into the real poison⌠Something harder to pass off entered the air in 1977, when I started encountering little zaps like this: I opened up a copy of a Florida punk fanzine called New Order and read an article by Miriam Linna of the Cramps, Nervus Rex, and now Zantees: âI love the Ramones [because] this is the celebration of everything American â everything teenaged and wonderful and white and urbanâŚâ You could say the âwhiteâ jumping out of that sentence was just like Ornette Coleman declaring This Is Our Music, except that the same issue featured a full-page shot of Miriam and one of her little friends posing proudly with their leathers and shades and a pistol in front of the headquarters of the United White Peopleâs Party, under a sign bearing three flags: âGODâ (cross), âCOUNTRYâ (stars and stripes), âRACEâ (swastika). Sorry, Miriam, I can go just so far with affectations of kneejerk cretinism before I puke.â
I figured all this was in the Lenny Bruce spirit of letâs-defuse-them-epithets-by-slinging-âem-out in Detroit I thought absolutely nothing of going to parties with people like David Ruffin and Bobby Womack where Iâd get drunk, maul the women, and improvise blues songs along the lines of âShoâ wish ah wuz a n[*****] / Then mah dickâd be bigger,â and of course they all laughed. It took years before I realized what an asshole Iâd been, not to mention how lucky I was to get out of there with my white hide intact.
Iâm sure a lot of those guys were very happy to see this white kid drunk on his ass making a complete fool if not a human TV set out of himself, but to this day I wonder how many of them hated my guts right then. Because Lenny Bruce was wrongâmaybe in a better world than this such parlor games would amount to cleansing jet offtakes, and between friends, where a certain bond of mutual trust has been firmly established, good natured racial tradeoffs can be part of the vocabulary of understood affections. But beyond that trouble beginsâwhen you fail to realize that no matter how harmless your intentions are, there is no reason to think that any shit that comes out of your mouth is going to be understood or happily received. Took me a long time to find it out, but those words are lethal, man, and you shouldnât just go slinging them around for effect. This seems almost too simple and obvious to say, but maybe itâs good to have something simple and obvious stated once in a while, especially in this citadel of journalistic overthink. If youâre black or Jewish or Latin or gay those little vernacular epithets are bullets that riddle your guts and then fester and burn there, like torture-flak hailing on you wherever you go. Ivan Julian told me that whenever he hears the word ân[*****],â no matter who says it, black or white, he wants to kill. Once when I was drunk I told [Richard] Hell that the only reason hippies ever existed in the first place was because of n[*****]s, and when I mentioned it to Ivan while doing this article I said, âYou probably donât even remember- â âOh yeah, I remember,â he cut me off. And that was two years ago, one ostensibly harmless little slip. You take a lifetime of that, and youâve got grounds for trying in any way possible, even if itâs only by convincing one individual at a time, to remove those words from the face of the earth. Just like Hitler and Idi Amin and all other enemies of the human race.
needing to take a shower: worst feeling in the world
getting into the shower: hardest task in the world
being in the shower: đżđ§źđđ§´đŤ§
getting out of the shower: second hardest task in the world
being out of the shower: (soft hair) (soft skin) (cozy towel) (clean clothes) why is getting into the shower always so hard. i should remember this feeling (most beautiful feeling in the world) next time i need to take a shower
unfortunately very true. Doing Better does not always mean never being upset or never being triggered or never having trouble. often Doing Better means experiencing those things and being able to keep going/cope healthily/move on. if youâre in a bubble with no sensation, if youâre numbing yourself out, thatâs not what recovering really is. it wonât help you have a happier life itâll just make your world smaller and smaller until you canât fit anywhere anymore. gotta learn to make peace with the hard stuff too, thatâs the only way to keep going
As someone whoâs job is to handle chemicals like this, I need to state that this information is IMPORTANT. Plenty of people have accidentally injured or killed themselves at home because they didnât know what kind of reaction certain substances have with one another. Play it safe and donât mix chemicals.
Incidents targeting Jewish New Yorkers and other groups have risen since Mamdani took office on January 1, with 205 anti-Jewish crimes confi
Jews are 10% of NYCâs population, 70% of the targets of hate crimes.
Jews were targeted in 70% of all hate crimes in New York City in July, according to NYPD data released on Monday, as the number of hate crimes against Jews and other groups continued to increase since New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani took office at the start of the year.
Since January 1, 2026, overall hate crimes were up 9.4% compared to the same period last year â from 329 last year to 360 this year.
Confirmed anti-Jewish hate crimes have increased 8.5% in 2026, with 205 so far this year compared to 189 during the same period last year.
The figure for this year amounts, on average, to an antisemitic hate crime in the city every 25 hours. Jewish security officials and hate crimes experts say that many or most hate crimes are not reported to police.
Jews have been targeted in 57% of all hate crimes in the city so far this year, according to the NYPD. Jews make up around 10% of the cityâs population.
Hate crimes against Asians, Black people, and White people were down this year, while incidents targeting Hispanic people and Muslims, as well as crimes motivated by sexual orientation and gender, have increased.
Last month, Jews were targeted in 23 confirmed hate crimes, or 70% of the 33 total incidents in the city, a higher proportion than usual. The number of anti-Jewish crimes was 53% higher than the 15 recorded in July 2025.
Also last month, there were five Islamophobic incidents, one each against Asian, White and Black people, one based on sexual orientation, and one against an unspecified religious group.
Jews have been targeted more than all other groups combined every month for the past several years.
In some of the antisemitic incidents last month, a Jewish man was stabbed with a screwdriver on the Upper West Side in an attack in which an Asian man who is not Jewish was also injured; an assailant shoved a 64-year-old Jewish man to the ground while shouting antisemitic slurs in Brooklyn; and a suspect hurled bags of motor oil and feces at two synagogues in Queens.
âThe work to uproot antisemitism out of this city is one that will continue until we see hate crimes come to an end in the city,â Mamdani said at a Monday press conference.
âI remain deeply concerned and very troubled by the unacceptable spike in all hate crimes, particularly driven by those targeting Jewish New Yorkers,â City Council Speaker Julie Menin said in a statement.
Menin is Jewish and has led efforts to combat antisemitism in city government.
Shootings, murders and other major crimes such as robberies and assaults are generally down in the city.
The increase in hate crimes is a challenge for Mamdani, who took office on January 1 pledging to combat hatred in the city, and has increased funding for hate crimes prevention.
Jewish leaders have repeatedly said that Mamdaniâs anti-Israel rhetoric could stoke anti-Jewish animus in New York, which has the largest Jewish population of any city in the world. A number of prominent Jewish leaders and groups spoke out last month when Mamdani released a video calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a âwar criminalâ while acknowledging that as mayor, he lacked the power to arrest the premier when he comes to New York.
The prevalence of hate crimes is affected by a range of factors, many of which are outside of the city governmentâs control, such as broad social trends, national and international news, and the weather.
It's exactly the kind of active civic engagement and multicultural safe space Hipster Nepobaby Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his wife, proud artistic collaborator with deranged lunatic Susan Abdulawaha are proud to preside over.
Found an interesting Twitter thread on some of the historical forerunners of the ""anti Zionist"" tropes and totalizing claims we're seeing in leftist antisemitism/antisemitism on the left today. The poster also has a more in-depth article up on their substack.
i really do not think it can be overstated how much hatred against trans men on this site is driven by people finding trans men Just Kind Of Annoying. people have pipelined themselves into posting on the daily about how tmes should be raped to death because 6 years ago a teenage trans boy was somewhat overexuberant on a fandom post, and other such minor irritations. finding someone (and therefore their entire segment of the population) Just Kind Of Annoying is a direct line, especially on the internet, to completely unpersoning them. nothing one of those people ever says or does should be taken seriously, even if it's a matter of life and death. because they were kind of annoying :/
hang on yeah i want to talk more about this ^ specifically. been seeing people here discuss the phenomenon of the fascist "right to comfort" mostly in terms of people not wanting to have uncomfortable conversations or not wanting to be exposed to topics that are harmless but make them feel weird. and cringe culture is very much an extension of that perceived right to comfort. if you cannot extend your tolerance to someone who is really fucking annoying, not to be best friends with them or anything, but just to protect their basic rights and dignity, you lack principles. point blank. you need to build a bulwark of values that prioritize autonomy and dignity for everyone and it needs to be strong enough to weather the most irritating person you know, or else you will also inevitably become a fascist or part of the fascists' body count.
I already had to tell my parents who Hasan Piker was last year so they weren't caught off-guard. Imagine people's Boomer/Gen X parents who've never heard of him (like 75% of America) and their first introduction is the Republican ad where he says America deserved 9/11. And that's literally the only thing they're going to know about that chud.
Like, 9/11 is just a big joke to Zoomers (when they aren't saying Osama Bin Laden did nothing wrong, including marrying his 15-year-old first cousin), but every other generation has living memory of 9/11.
And unlike Zoomers, they vote in the general election.
Not only do we all have living memory of it, very few of us can say we have zero ties to it at all.
Several of my sister's friends died in the Towers. For one of them, it was her first day back at work. Her new twin babies were in the daycare. They didn't make it out either. My sister herself worked in DC, two blocks from the Pentagon, and saw the plane hit.
(This is why I reject the "it was a missile" conspiracy theory, incidentally. There is an answering machine message permanently burned into my brain, every word, that I pray isn't the last thing I remember before I die: my sister's terrified, screaming voice, screaming for our mother. "Mom, where the hell are you? I just watched a plane hit the Pentagon, we're under attack! Where are--" and we didn't hear from her again for a week.)
(I know what fucking hit the Pentagon. I know my personal superhero saw it happen. I know for seven days I couldn't breathe, not even daring to think of what might have happened to her. The phone grid collapsed, if you're wondering. If you're not old enough to remember, so many people were calling each other to get confirmation and check in on each other that the entire eastern seaboard basically lost its phone system for several days. Officials had to beg people to stay off the internet and stop making phone calls to allow enough of the grid to limp along that they might, maybe, MAYBE, by some miracle, be able to rescue people with cell phones who were buried under the wreckage and could call 911.)
My mom called it "my generation's Kennedy assassination." Ask any American alive and conscious in 1963 where they were when they heard about Kennedy. They'll know. Ask any Gen Xer about Challenger. They'll know, too. And us Millennials?
I was homeschooled at the time, and my mom and I were both night people, so my school hours ran weird.
I learned by waking up. By running to get my mom, telling her my sister was on the answering machine and sounded upset. By refusing to let her brush me off, because my sister sounded more than normal-upset. By going with my mother to the answering machine and listening to the message and hearing the fear in her voice when she said "turn on the news" and sent me to the living room as she tried to call my sister back.
I did as instructed. I had just enough time to call "there's another one" before I watched the first tower fall live on national television.
Every single one of you reading this is now only two degrees of separation from multiple 9/11 victims, and I am crying. It's been 25 years and I can still hear the answering machine. I can still hear the screaming in the background.
I know exactly where I was. My brain is Swiss cheese from a multitude of neurological problems and I struggle to remember where I set the mail when I walk in the house, but I can still remember the nightgown I was wearing when I heard my sister scream "where the hell are you." It was pink. My grandma made it.
Most of us are in that same boat.
When we think of 9/11, it's not the jingoism and capitalism that followed. It's seeing the fire. It's watching, helplessly, as we saw things falling down the sides of the Towers on live television and realized those were jumpers. It's the voices of news anchors desperately trying to stay professional and failing because they didn't know any more than the rest of us and were just as terrified.
I've heard a lot of Zoomers say it was American privilege that made us so afraid. It wasn't. It was that we didn't know what was happening, or why; it was that we didn't know how many planes had been hijacked or where they might come down. I watched news coverage that day obsessively and at one point up to seven hijackings were reported, meaning three planes still in the air. I know one turned out to be a radar glitch. I'm not sure about the other two, but the number bounced around for awhile until it was finally four confirmed.
It was that we had friends, family, loved ones, in the vicinity of the planes. If we didn't, we knew somebody who knew somebody. Flight 93 was originally reported with a different crash location that would have put it in the town of the only friend I had at the time. It was paralyzing. That's why it became such effective propaganda.
And the Republicans have video of a "Democratic" influencer saying we deserved it?
Oh, we're fucked.
