“Haunting the narrative” but it’s the procedures at your job the person before you put in place

[asneakyfox]

one of my favorite bits in lord of the rings is something the movies didn't really try to do because it's entirely internal, but sam's carrying the ring and it starts trying to do its work on him, so he's having these intrusive visions of himself marching at the head of a vast and terrible army, and he just starts laughing because, me? samwise gamgee? sam gamgee the general sam gamgee the dark lord are you for real? man i just want to go home and do some gardening. and the ring gets frustrated and it starts trying to figure out other stuff that would actually tempt sam and it's finally like, okay, but hear me out: imagine if you could have...A REALLY REALLY BIG GARDEN

[asneakyfox]

and then he's like, i don't know that sounds like a lot more work than a regular garden actually. why don't we just get on with finding mister frodo

We tried to warn you about the "adult content" bans. Now Kickstarter is starting that shit

"It must have serious value!"

Staight up sounds like obscenity law/Miller Test-type crap.

"Fetishized imagery intended to arouse" well it's a good thing oppressed and vulnerable communities are never fetishized.

I know many of you have already liked and reblogged this post, but I'm going to attach a couple of links for resources on how to contact payment processors and whatnot. Hopefully they can get spread around a bit. It includes how to contact the payment processors, scripts, and various links to other (at the time ongoing, these websites haven't been updated in about 8 months and 1 year respectively) petitions and forms that might be useful to you.

I'd also like to ask people to be willing to bring this conversation into spaces where things like "politics" aren't welcome and more forcefully draw attention to the ever growing issue of censorship. Some of you may only have those communities to draw on but we've long since run out of peaceful/polite/non-disruptive options.

how it feels to listen to float on by modest mouse

[kropotkindersurprise]

May 14, 2026 - Unions in Bolivia have called a general strike to demand the resignation of right-wing president Rodrigo Paz, saying: “Resign or we will kick you out – those are your options.” The president's neoliberal reforms, anti-indigenous land reforms, plans to sell of Bolivia's industries and natural resources to foreign companies, and an economc and fuel crisis are the main sources of anger. Workers have set up road blocks, shutting down all major highways. Workers from rural indigenous communities are marching on the capital La Paz. They say the long march is "in repudiation of the government that wants to turn us into a US colony". [video]

When a book is bad, oh well, the failed artistry of one rube, maybe co-authors. But when a movie is bad, and you consider the military-like scale of production, man-hours, the money involved: you must understand, it feels like I’ve been at war with the world for 29 years.
