💛All is Love💛

Maitreya, all prounouns, genderfluid move through this life with compassion, mindfulness, and presence. all moments are an opportunity to learn, grow, & uplift eachother. our reality is our perceptions & reactions--spread love instead of fear & let your heart guide you. 🙏 may All beings be completely free from the sufferings of aversion, attachment, & ignorance. may All beings have happiness & the causes of happiness both temporary & ultimate. may All beings know compassion & liberation in this life & in all others. may my thoughts, words, & actions reflect this as my greatest wish: that all beings be completely liberated from suffering 🙏

“If men could get pregnant, abortion would be free” men CAN get pregnant and they’re treated worse than women who can get pregnant

oh folks really don't like being asked to consider trans men

Extreme doomerism would be easier to take if its loudest advocates weren't, largely, uninvolved people who will be fine regardless

[lizardsfromspace]

Okay nice story about how everything's fucked and we need to give up forever and embrace self-destructive nihilism but before we continue can you clarify if you've actually experienced the horrors or just watched them on TV? Watched them on TV? Okay can we skip to the part where you weirdly frame having to see the news on social media as almost more traumatic than having to live it & promote your podcast

Sooner or later leftists will have to deal with the issue that capitalism has made many people used to wanton excess and sooner or later we'll have to legit tell everyone we can't have plastic treats and luxury produce or cruises instantly available year round and it's gonna make so many people mad and call you a big meanie worse than stalin over it. It will not be popular at all but someone's gotta hold a firm no or the planet will never stop collapsing. We can't save the planet by living exactly how we do now just with a communist banner over it we have to take a loss sorry, shein product cycles shouldn't have been normalized to begin with.

The banana discourse really separated the wheat from the chaff of which "lefties" actually want a global workers revolution and which ones just want more stuff to be free

Justin McElroy talking about accessibility in live theatre (June 9, 2019)

[quasi-normalcy]

“Art is happening everywhere all of the time” but an awful lot of it seems to only ever happen in New York and London, doesn’t it?

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Unless your enjoyment of theatre is based in the idea that you get to do it and The Poors don’t and that’s why it’s fun for you, how does other people getting to experience recordings of it make it worse? Like why would anybody be against that. “Oh it’s better in person” yeah and concerts are often more fun than listening to CDs, so what? There’s absolutely no reason why people in other places and circumstances shouldn’t get to experience art.

I love all books but sometimes you read a book and you’re like so were all 21 thousand of you blindfolded and at gun point when you rated it 5 stars

pretty sure I did the chrome//flags thing a while ago, but also i switched to firefox, which is not without the occasional bullshit, but is vastly less bullshitty than chrome. This is why I treat genai "features" like the invasive blackberry bushes they are: cut, root, burn, and vigilantly watch for new shoots to uproot. I'm 54 years old and the world got by fine without genai for most of my lifetime.

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

#every time I read this phrase the same thing happens#I read it as shittable and go wait that can't be right#oh right they were talking about public benches that makes more sense#but public bathrooms available without fees should also be a thing tho#cities should definitely be shittable#it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME

There is something sooo deeply American going on with Seattle Children’s Hospital that I think would brick the minds of everyone outside of the United States.

[skygenders]

The CHILDRENS hospital has to restrict helipad landings because of noise complaints from the wealthy home owners living next to it. Only the most urgent patients can land directly at the hospital. While the other kids have to land a mile away and are taken to the hospital via ambulance. Which is an unnecessary risk to the child’s life and also makes the families pay for the helicopter AND ambulance.

[skygenders]

Seattle Children’s says Laurelhurst noise concerns burdens lifesaving care for children

The hospital says some limits on helipad access add pressure when children need lifesaving care.

Apparently this has been going on for decades and is only getting traction because a pilot complained on Twitter.

one time in college i was in a creative writing class and this guy was holding up the critique with what i can only describe as like cinemasins dinging another student's writing. and at some point the professor said "the plot is the fork and the prose is the meal. you are critiquing the taste of the fork"

[eraserheadadult]

when i say cinemasins dinging i mean the piece of writing being critiqued was a scifi short story about a woman living on a space station holding a funeral for her baby. and this guy was like "the setting isn't detailed enough there's not enough world building"

[revindicatedbyhistory-moved-dea]

i honestly didn´t even realize this tweet was made to critique this woman i thought it was made to show us how badass this woman is

we're at a point where the united states illegally invaded venezuela, kidnapped its president and established their own leader, freely talks about how they want to invade cuba, and now new audio files have been leaked where they openly discuss organizing and funding a mass misinformation campaign to get their candidates in power in mexico and colombia AND NO ONE FUCKING BATS AN EYE I FEEL LIKE IM GOING CRAZY
