if it doesn't crush me, it's alright

they/he. 30s. a literal ghost. "it's a cold world run by the worst people and good men die for god knows what reason. we gotta take on, like, duties for one another, ya know?"

saw someone unironically say that they can't defend palestine without getting yelled at because "everything is apparently an antisemitic stereotype" and its like. no. every talking point from antisemites you are parroting is an antisemitic stereotype. because they are antisemites.

there are things you can say to criticize israel that are not offensive, but for some reason those critiques do not seem to be gathering the same traction as easily googlable dogwhistles and pervasive misinformation that has existed for hundreds of years. i wonder why.

finally got blue prince as a coping mechanism and it's really gorgeous and fun and I'm starting to think I am just not good enough at puzzles to actually get out of it what it needs. I don't even know what I should be writing down, but man do I know I need to be writing shit down

okay. since it's almost June and I have been totally unable to make any progress on my acquiring-computer-parts project (which was my birthday gift. my birthday which was in february.) I found a kinda old refurbished desktop for cheap and just got that for about as much as I would have spent on parts. I feel really good and excited about this - now I will have a pre-assembled, cheap tower that I can use as a computer and also fuck around with and replace pieces of and learn as I go. this feels much more accessible to me and I can't wait for it to get here tbh

self-awareness check, list five things you like that aren't media pieces in the tags now ‼️

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

[in-the-drowning-deep]

ditto cockney accents being used to denote stupid and evil. why are you acting like someone who talks like a member of the working class is irredeemable and an idiot.

There was a girl I knew back Up North, one of my dad's philosophy students. Brilliant lass, sharp as a tack, incredibly original thinker. But as soon as she opened her mouth at a conference everyone immediately assumed she was thick and started full on 'splaining to her, and my dad and I are pretty sure that's because she had an incredibly heavy rural Lancashire accent.

paralives, this life sim game I've been following and waiting for for literal years, is finally launching in early access in like four days and I genuinely. can't wait. I haven't been this excited for a video game in SO long and the fact that I probably will have to borrow a housemate's computer to play it can't even deter me. I'm thrilled that it seems like it's been getting more hype lately

I know that we often think of Shavuot as cheese/cheesecake day... But the day is a Celebration of Ruth (well King David, but we have to read the Megillat Ruth for that).

So Chag Shavuot Sameach to all Jewish Converts and those converting, our Gerim Tzedek. Thank you for loving Judaism and Jews so much that you felt compelled to be one of us, and importantly thank you for an excuse to make and eat cheesecake every year.

וַתֹּ֗אמֶר הִנֵּה֙ שָׁ֣בָה יְבִמְתֵּ֔ךְ אֶל־עַמָּ֖הּ וְאֶל־אֱלֹהֶ֑יהָ שׁ֖וּבִי אַחֲרֵ֥י יְבִמְתֵּֽךְ׃

So she said, “See, your sister-in-law has returned to her people and her gods. Go follow your sister-in-law.”

וַתֹּ֤אמֶר רוּת֙ אַל־תִּפְגְּעִי־בִ֔י לְעׇזְבֵ֖ךְ לָשׁ֣וּב מֵאַחֲרָ֑יִךְ כִּ֠י אֶל־אֲשֶׁ֨ר תֵּלְכִ֜י אֵלֵ֗ךְ וּבַאֲשֶׁ֤ר תָּלִ֙ינִי֙ אָלִ֔ין עַמֵּ֣ךְ עַמִּ֔י וֵאלֹהַ֖יִךְ אֱלֹהָֽי׃

But Ruth replied, “Do not urge me to leave you, to turn back and not follow you. For wherever you go, I will go; wherever you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God.

so every month I go to a shanty pub sing near my house and it's fucking great. this month, someone led a song that doesn't quite fit the usual brief, but it was fine because watching a room full of adults who had never heard jonathan coulton's First of May learn to sing the chorus and just be increasingly delighted by each new line was genuinely one of the most joyful experiences I've ever had

knowing that the past tense of "hang" is "hanged" when it's a method of execution can be very entertaining because you'll be watching a horror movie and someone goes "local legend says a woman was hung in these woods" and you're like "👀 good for her I guess"

[Image Description: A drawing of a purple vase. There’s red cracks in the vase that have been filled in with red. The cracks in the center show grayscale drawings of various Cae Attorney characters. They are: Godot, Maya Fey, Phoenix Wright, Ron and Desiree DeLite, Luke Atmey, Adrian Andrews, Pearl Fey, Larry Butz, Dick Gumshoe, Mia Fey, and a person with their back facing the viewer, presumably Kane Bullard. The red pools at the bottom of the vase. At the bottom is text in all caps. “The Stolen Turnabout”, is in red, and the rest is in black: “Starring Phoenix Wright. Luke Atmey. Featuring Diego Armando as Godot and Ron DeLite as Mask (star) DeMasque”. The background is pale pink. End Description.]
