we are NOT bringing 4chan incel terminology to this site, take that "foid" out of your post and go wash your blog out with soap

the memeification of fascism is a proven method of perpetuating and instilling it in other people. Layers of irony will not protect you once you adopt racist, sexist, ableist, transphobic terminology into your lexicon. you'll be acknowledging and nursing the mindsets and connotations borne of those words.

Rain, New Year's Eve

by Maggie Smith

The rain is a broken piano, playing the same note over and over.

My five-year-old said that. Already she knows loving the world

means loving the wobbles you can’t shim, the creaks you can’t

oil silent — the jerry-rigged parts, MacGyvered with twine and chewing gum.

Let me love the cold rain’s plinking. Let me love the world the way I love

my young son, not only when he cups my face in his sticky hands,

but when, roughhousing, he accidentally splits my lip.

Let me love the world like a mother. Let me be tender when it lets me down.

Let me listen to the rain’s one note and hear a beginner’s song.

The problem with discussing Israel's war crimes online is that the actual real life bad things this government is doing are presented alongside antisemitic nonsense. Like you'll see posts that have coherent points on how the Israeli government has massacred tens of thousands of people, killed more journalists in this war than any war in the past century, and killed over a thousand Palestinians since the "ceasefire" started, and then two posts down you'll see someone saying that Israelis are starting forest fires in Argentina to try and colonize it and when you look into it it's actually just a reheated century-old racist conspiracy theory that Jews were trying to establish a state in Argentina. Seriously? Come on people, it's not that hard to differentiate the factual crimes of a real government from the ramblings of antisemites.

something i find frustrating about Life lately is how people just absolutely refuse to experience any discomfort. and i dont mean this in the boomer "wah kids have it too easy theyre all pushovers and pussies" way, but i mean people will go crazy over anything thats not totally 100% sanitised and comfortable and pure and whatever the fuck. a show has a sex scene and you dont like it? people used to just look away for a second and maybe cringe. now it's a whole thinkpiece. people would rather ghost their friends or let issues fester rather than ever address an issue in their relationship with them. they wont let their friends vent in case it makes them uncomfortable. like can you just buck the fuck up and let things be a bit awkward sometimes? it wont kill you.

Found a great (free) documentary on the Freedom House Ambulance Service here- https://www.wqed.org/freedomhouse/ (has captions too)!

[hoodiedeer]

I can’t believe this is the first time I’ve heard about this. like for years I’ve been thinking “imagine if the police were in charge of ambulances and firefighting, all the horrible problems that would cause, wouldn’t it be better if they were a separate thing, etc” as a way to better understand/explain the fundamental problems with the existence of police. that framing was part of what made me start to understand why my friends were saying “ACAB” and “abolish the police”. I had no idea it was literally once historically like that and not just a hypothetical tbh

This is cool as shit, and a part of my own career’s history that I didn’t even know about.

Atp I’m kind of convinced ISFF is a genuine 4chan alt right long con troll because I simply don’t believe (don’t want to believe) any trans woman would give these types the story “popular transfem on tumblr says hating pedophiles is the same as hating trans women”. And have way too many agreeing with her. Like no way dear god

[britts-galaxy-brain]

People like Lily Orchard and Patricia Taxxon paved the way for this level of mask-off bullshit. Begging people to realize that ISFF isn't a troll, a psyop, or any other type of fake. She's a predator that's been emboldened by other predators using the same arguments she's using and getting away with it.

'cause love's such an old-fashioned word and love dares you to care for the people on the edge of the night 🫁🪩

my piece for the @de-fanzine-cpr-pale zine! the premise for the zine was so sweet and i'm glad i got to draw something celebrating the love we all have for disco elysium 🫁💖 you can download the full zine here (it's free!!!)

i chose the song under pressure bc not only was it an earworm i had during the time i was drawing this, but also because of this lovely edit that ignited some very strong emotions in me! go check it out!!!

like this art? it's a print, here! | like what i do? support me on ko-fi!

i also considered choosing a tagalog song, but to be honest, i'm not much of a music listener so i didn't know enough songs that would've reminded me of disco elysium or had the vibes/inspiration i was looking for. but, oh well!

another inspiration for this drawing was that one sculpture with flowers bursting from its head that people were redrawing, i kind of wanted to capture that but a little differently! instead of drawing flowers, i get to draw one billion trillion disco elysium npcs good god why did i do that to myself

it's actually been a while since i've drawn this i'm trying to remember if i have anything else to say hm hm hmmm oh yea accessories harry's got are the eight-eyed teratorn tie and on the side is the hat he gets from annette! (it's not very obvious, it just looks like a very colorful part of the background too but that was what my idea was anyways pftt) i wanted harry to be wearing things that were out of the little acts of kindness you do in the game.

i haven't read thru the full zine yet bc i've been busy orz but from the pages i flipped through i'm just blown away by everyone's works!!! thanks so much for the mods for organizing this!!
