So it is not enough just to think that we need to surpass capitalism, we need to think what we want to put in place of capitalism. That’s why ecosocialism is pushing forward the discussion on what we are going to put in place of the things we don’t want. So instead of just challenge the crisis and getting tired by reactionary politics, we also try to push forward the necessity and need for hope. But not a naive hope; We need to have hope together with the action, and the possibility of building a different world. We have tools to make it possible, we have more possibilities than we know. We just need to mobilize, we need to have more conscience about this crisis. We need to have the conscience that there is a system, a structure, and we need to attack the structure, the root of this crisis. There is the need of being courageous to build something different and create the power, the necessary power to make it happen.

Making motivational "it's never too late to transition" posts is really undercut if the age you're highlighting is still young. Claiming that your transition was late and it worked out great for you actually makes older people more afraid to transition if you're saying that shit in your 20s. How do you think a trans person in their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s feels when you're 23 and calling yourself a late transitioner?
It's never too late until you're in a coffin. It is worth it for a single day of being yourself, even if you're 110.
they're executing the count from sesame street for violating the masquerade
Centering Black environmental thought and indigenous medicine ways is to recognize that food deserts are not naturally occurring but designed to displace people from resources for profit. Food deserts are in fact food apartheids.
i have a suggestion
me too
I live in a food desert, and most days I starve.
Prices are expensive even when I can make it to a store and my meager salary causes issues.
I always thought Reddit was a place where people could share things they created.A few days ago I posted one of my original paintings. People loved it. We had wonderful conversations about art, emotions, and how everyone saw something different in the same sunset.
About two hours later I was permanently banned from r/MadeMeSmile for “self-promotion.”
I accepted that different communities have different rules.But then something even stranger happened.Soon afterward, a moderator from r/pics started going through my account. Not just the new post—many of my older painting posts disappeared as well. One after another. Then I was permanently banned there too.
Maybe it was the same moderator. Maybe it wasn’t. I honestly don’t know.
What surprised me wasn’t even the ban itself. It was realizing how much power individual moderators have over what millions of people are allowed to see. One decision can erase years of posts from a community and instantly cut off your ability to participate, even if those posts had been happily sitting there for months or years.I’m not saying moderators shouldn’t have rules. Communities need moderation.But it does make you wonder where the line is between protecting a community and allowing a single interpretation of the rules to completely reshape what people can share.
The funny part?
I wasn’t advertising anything in those posts. I wasn’t posting prices or asking anyone to buy anything. I was simply sharing my original paintings because I enjoy discussing art with strangers from around the world.
Anyway…
Here’s the painting that apparently caused all the trouble. 🎨
I'm really tired of people outside the UK claiming that JK Rowling's bigotry doesn't extend to trans men and non-binary people. I can't get an autism diagnosis, because I'm scared that it will be used against me to deny me the healthcare I need, as Rowling and her ilk have been spreading the rhetoric that transmascs are just confused autistic girls who are too stupid to know their own gender.
Now that everyone is discussing Nolan's Odyssey movie, I feel like it's a good time to let non-Italians know that the production dumped plastic props into the Italian sea. Weirdly enough I could not find any article in English about it but it's a fucking problem nonetheless.
I might translate this article later today. This one was the most complete one, even in Italian news it's not talked about that much.
Non è la prima volta che la produzione solleva un vespaio in Sicilia. A Lipari una squadra di sub sarebbe però già impegnata a bonificare i
They dumped plastic skeletons in environmentally protected areas, against the literal contracts they had to sign to get the permits to film in environmentally protected areas. Like they not only did a bad ecological thing that freaked out some divers, they literally broke environmental protection laws and their contract with the Italian government
feeling a lot like season 1 will graham this summer. just constantly sweating tormented & morally dubious

truly the idea of "this scene is (un-)necessary to the story" is such a fundamentally uncurious and anti-art way of engaging with fiction. the story itself is unnecessary, in the sense that all art is unnecessary, because art is not a fucking optimization problem. that's the beauty of it
also there is no theory of “necessary” and “unnecessary” scenes that is not culturally conditioned and a reflection of specific societal biases. modern Anglophone readers of the Iliad tend to find the Catalogue of Ships and the Doloneia and Achilles fighting the Scamander and most of the violence and killing in the poem unnecessary but an Iliad that removes them and telescopes the journey from Book 1 to Book 24 is not the Iliad in any meaningful way.
5001 being divisible by 3 doesnt feel right
Shortcuts to determine if an integer is divisible by:
This is a given.
If the last digit is divisible by 2 (a.k.a. even), then so is the whole number.
If the sum of the digits is divisible by 3, then so is the whole number. The recursivity of this means that if the sum has multiple digits, you can add them up again until you get a single digit and see if it's 3, 6, or 9.
Like the rule for 2, but check if the last two digits are divisible by 4.
If it ends in 5 or 0.
If the rules for both 2 and 3 apply.
No shortcut. Alas.
Like the rules for 2 and 4, but check if the last three digits are divisible by 8. (Yes, this pattern keeps going for 16, 32, etc.)
Like the rule for 3, but the sum of the digits (or the sum of the sum of the digits, etc.) must be 9.
If it ends in 0.
11. Put alternating + and - signs in front of each digit such that the last digit has a + sign (so for 5001 it's - 5 + 0 - 0 + 1). If the answer is divisible by 11, so is the original number. This is recursive like the 3 and 9 rules.
7: Subtract twice the last digit of your number from the number you get by ignoring the last digit. If the result of that operation is divisible by 7, so is your original number (eg, 91 -> 9 - 2Ă—1 = 7, so 91 is a multiple of 7). As with the rules for 3, 9 and 11 this rule is recursive (2261 -> 226 - 2Ă—1 = 224; 224 -> 22 - 2Ă—4 = 14; 14 -> 1 - 2Ă—4 = -7 and so 2261 is divisible by 7).
It's not a fast way of checking if a number is a multiple of 7 (you honestly may as well just do the division), but it does work.
In fact, I think, something along these lines works for any prime (excluding 2 or 5).
Suppose that p is such a prime. Then, by Bezout's lemma, there exist integers X, Y such that 10X + pY = 1 (and clearly any such X is not a multiple of p). Let N := 10a + b. Then p | N if and only if p | NX. But NX = 10aX + bX = (1-pY)a + bX = (a+bX) + p(aY). So p | N if and only if p | (a+bX).
For p=7 we have, for example, (X,Y) = (-2,3). Hence 7 divides 10a+b if and only if 7 divides a-2b. For p=3 we have (X,Y) = (1,-3). So 3 divides 10a+b if and only if p divides a+b (which implies the standard sum of digits test given above). For p=11 we have (X,Y) = (-1,1). So 11 divides 10a+b if and only if 11 divides a-b (which implies the alternating sum of digits test given above). And once you find a suitable (X,Y) you can derive divisibility tests for larger primes as well.
personally i do not prefer when stories engaging with complicated topics attempt to make themselves good educational resources on said complicated topics
and i understand that sometimes it's a very thin line between giving a realistic depiction of a serious topic and ending up in after-school special mode, but i also notice that no one is doing this when a character gets the flu (which kills many people every year) and PERSONALLY i don't love the patterns i'm vaguely sensing about which experiences can be depicted normally and which experiences must always be a learning opportunity
made this into a gif bc i liked it so much. shark Denied
the things that are reported matters. the language used matters. what is left out of the story matters.
This is very important. Systemic problems trump individual action all the time.
So many people calling their analysis “materialism” when what they’re doing is examining one particular scenario and then applying that to all adjacent scenarios. Because they’ve found “the material reality of it,” no matter what anyone else might claim to experience. And that’s not materialism.
Like. I think these people need to stop calling themselves materialists.
They say they’re interested in the material reality of things, but only ever dismiss the lived realities of people who don’t fit their narratives.
If anything, they’re “truism universalists” or something like that. They use their own experiences or experiences which are convenient to them to create “universal truths” that everything must work like, regardless of anyone else’s lived reality, because if their lived reality doesn’t conform to the “universal truths” these people have arrived at then it can’t be material reality, checkmate liars. *sighs*
Frank fat as fuck omg . That video of him flipping of the clerk yesterday nd his belly . Thank u god life is full of wonderful fat things
you’re thick as fuck I won’t u
Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
