there's something so piquant about seeing the mayor on the street and rolling your eyes dramatically when he makes eye contact

hello I am at my wits end and I need to know something. Do you talk to your mother every day?

Yes

No

Remaining time: 5 days 23 hours

No nuance. If you don’t have a mother/are no contact etc this is not a poll for you.

You can elaborate as to how often you feel is a regular amount of communication between an adult child and their mother.

i have a lot of thoughts on the matter but i will say that fandom moving from semi-private blogs and communities to extremely public and algorithm-driven social media was a huge mistake that has changed fandom culture for the worse

i think of Grace's first committed romantic relationship being described as "a total disaster." I think of Grace not having emotional intelligence, not picking up when people like being around him, believing no one feels what he feels, on top of being some kind of ace on top of being a stubborn bastard, and kinda brusque to his peers. Choppy bantery reddit guy. Mostly book grace.

I think, "This ass isn't going to say 'I love you' to Rocky with the same candor and speed that Rocky would have." He'd probably pad it with quirk chungus Graceisms. He'd probably call Rocky "buddy" throughout. If Rocky confesses to him first in Eridian logical fashion, Grace is gonna blow a gasket. He'd be like "Love ya too buddy. Friend. My boy Rocky." and Rocky would be pissed tf off and not talk to him for the rest of the day.

When Grace is on Erid dying and withering and Rocky's losing his mind, grabbing his hands. Or when Rocky has like a ptsd attack or something and keeps saying nasty untrue things about himself. I think Grace would say it in earnest. He knows the stakes. But you'd have to wring it out of him, Hail-Mary-era Grace, like he's wet laundry.

legalize copyright infringement

[janmisali]

to be clear this is a fully sincere political belief that I have. I am pro copyright infringement and in fact anti "asking for permission to make derivative art"

[janmisali]

a few people in the notes seem to be under the impression that this is a stance that requires caveats. so just so we're all on the same page: no exceptions. "stealing art" (copying existing works for personal gain) is a good thing.

Who were the Luddites? Their legacy ripples through politics, cultural commentary and literature

In the age of AI we are once again hearing about Luddites, the 19th-century textile workers who sought to protect their livelihoods in early

As the new political economy, fuelled by transatlantic slavery and colonial extraction, began to transform work practices in England and introduce new forms of mechanization, skilled artisans and weavers resisted. They sought to protect their livelihoods, their ways of life and their communities. Trade unions were illegal and the workers did not have political representation. Co-operative societies did not yet exist and state welfare was a distant dream. The only alternative to acquiescence was what historian Eric Hobsbawm memorably called “collective bargaining by riot.” Food riots, destroying machinery or setting fire to factories were in-your-face ways to get employers and local authorities to pay attention to their legitimate grievances.

[...]

The Luddites were not blindly lashing out but sending a message; to some extent at least, that message was heard. Along with the political radicals and the labour campaigners over the course of the 19th century, they took part in a prolonged struggle waged for rights, dignity and justice. That struggle partially succeeded, forcing the ruling classes to compromise rather than continuing to rely on brute force. As historian E.P. Thompson famously put it in his book The Making of the English Working Class, the Luddites need to be rescued “from the enormous condescension of posterity.”

[...]

The message was clear: technological progress was not necessarily in itself evil, but if the outcome was a vicious zero-sum game of winners and losers, then industrial capitalism was deeply inhumane and resistance was inevitable.

fellatio sounds like a supporting shakespeare character rather than oral sex on a penis to be honest
