i think as a writer, the older you get and the more you read, the more you realize there are very few actual truly bad ideas. which is a relief. but! the other thing you learn is that stories live and die on the execution and ha ha. lemme tell you. unfortunately. there are lots and lots of bad ways to execute an otherwise fine idea

humans should be able to do a special Ultra Sleep after major life accomplishments where you're just out for like 32 hours or something and then you wake up fully refreshed in every way

Idk what kind of sleep marathons you're all having in the notes but when I sleep for 12+ hours I feel like shit afterwards.

it's been months and I'm still baffled by how this one-sentence post keeps getting so many responses that go "this exists except without the last part of the sentence"

there should be a tumblr without piss poor reading comprehension

tpwrtrmnky

we already have that except with piss poor reading comprehension, which i assume is like an extraneous detail rather than a major part of the point you're making

I kept forgetting my nighttime antidepressant so I set an alarm where the sound was a recording of me saying "HEY. TAKE YOUR FUCKING PILL" because I thought it would be funny. It was funny about three times, and then it started making me mad and I'd dismiss it right away to make it stop. So I handed my phone to my partner, who made another recording sweetly saying "Okay Shira, it's time to take your medication" and now I don't get mad anymore and I take my pill. The "compassion over punishment" camp has gotta get something wrong one of these days

Ok like. Imagine life without ads. You wake up, check your messages across a variety of apps, no ads. You get up and put on the tv while you prep your breakfast, no ads. Maybe you drive somewhere and switch on the radio, no ads. Maybe you drive a long distance, yet somehow, not a single billboard on your path. You pick up a newspaper or magazine to pass the time, no advertisements only articles. You turn on your game console, the home screen is just about your games, no ads to buy more. You open a streaming app, you don't pay extra for no ads, there's just no ads ever.

Think about how much of your time is spent looking at ads. "Download ublock" yeah I know, I have. But that doesn't change that the world is covered with endless advertising. Imagine never seeing that again. How much better our lives would be.

Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."

This is what Roerich's paintings look like:

There's lots of problems with USA public education but also a lot of you were just drawing Naruto characters kissing while your history teacher tried to tell you about the Scramble for Africa

scavengerofcool

They should make an anime about major history events actually. That way people could still ship the characters and be forced into accidentally learning things

Ok but when you say "restorative justice" do you mean "hegemonic power structures need to provide ways for people who've done bad things to reintegrate into society" or do you mean "you, personally, someone with no hegemonic power whatsoever, need to keep forgiving people who've hurt you forever" because those are like. Pretty different.

#yeah ive been reading transformative/restorative justice stuff lately and some ppl Do Not Understand the difference#asking ppl to forgive their abusers is not restorative justice and anyone who thinks it is needs to shut up forever thanks

There's a Norwegian documentary, Norges Farligste, which goes through (nowhere near perfect, not above criticism) attempts at restorative/reformative justice in the country's prison system.

It provides some interesting insights into what attempts at restorative justice can even look like when, for example, you've got a guy who tried to murder his dad with a hammer to the back of the head, but has now been in years of therapy during his sentence and is going to meet his dad for an attempt at reconciliation. Because the victim asked to do so. Because stuff like this is complicated in real life.
