Does anyone else get pissed off when you wake up just as you were making significant progress in some bullshit task you had to do in a dream? Like great now I did all that shit for nothing

"You don't need to know about the conflict to know that the US shouldn't support apartheid and genocide" is an admission as to why their strategy consists of saying apartheid and genocide over and over, knowledge of and engagement with what's actually happened in reality would weaken support for their political position.

Returning to G-d, Each Year and Every Day - On the rejuvenation of spiritual life and the essential meaning of teshuvah

Teshuvah gives us a new understanding of the essential depth of a mitzvah, of how deeply they are bound up in our own souls, and how deeply

The only reason the DSA lies about us paying for Israel's healthcare is because they're all too chickenshit to admit that for us to have a public option over here is going to involve raising the taxes on the middle class. That's it. They're selling you bullshit just so they don't have to tell you the truth: you're not getting universal healthcare without a big raise in taxes on the middle class, and the white middle class will never agree to those taxes if they think it's going to benefit their Black neighbors.

Summoning a demon to do your bidding but you’ve been so hyper focused on demon summoning for so long that your living space is a disaster and you look deeply unwell and the demon is like damn bitch you live like this? And claims it can’t carry out your orders until you are a “a master worthy of my service” and then it starts vacuuming

summoning a demon to do your bidding but they are just so cartoonishly dogshit at the task you give them that the contract never gets fulfilled and now theyre just kinda living in your house

I was wondering if you could explain “fandom is marketing”? I think I get what you mean but then also maybe I don’t?

If something has a big fandom, publishers and studios know they can make money off it. This is why we see publishers openly acquiring and selling things that were originally posted as fanfic, like Alchemised, Heated Rivalry, etc. It’s why the horrid wizard woman considers people participating in her fandom to be supporting her political causes.

Word of mouth is the most effective way to sell people on media, and fandom is word of mouth that costs the creators/owners nothing. Doing Fandom Stuff used to be subversive, but media companies have now figured out that fandom is a form of advertising and they’re no longer worried about it. Those of us who still think of fandom like it’s a livejournal-era secret club we can never let the corporations discover have got to update our self-concept

I don’t really get the impulse to be like “we could ask the author!” when there’s information about a story that is unclear. Like if the author knew the answer they would have put it in the book so they probably don’t know and any answer they give will just be making things up. Which I can also do

Everyone on tumblr has Conditions. maladies. I log onto tumblr and my mutuals are unwellposting. Conditions I didn't even know existed and sound like dark curses but I will see a post from friend like "died about 60% today, fine now. Made egg on toast #yummytoast". There are so many people in this world with life experiences

this is all being filtered through my lens btw.
