it is terrifying that bear only sought to "alter" his wish rather than cancelling it but what is even more terrifying is that he wouldn't even have called the number had nikki not inconvenienced him. if she did not act in such extreme ways bear wouldn't even have a problem. which is sooooo sooooo terrifying because he was completely fine living and being "loved" by nikki who he knew wasn't the real her. he claimed to love her, but even when she started acting like a totally different person it was water off a duck's back for him. he DIDN'T CARE whether it was the real nikki or an entirely different person.

even when she begs him to kill her, he does not feel even a shred of pity for her; he only worries "is being with me that bad".

the only reason he tries to change anything is because her behavior started to scare him FREAK him out. had she acted in a meeker way, bear would've lived with her HIS WHOLE LIFE knowing she ISN'T the real nikki NOT GIVING A FUCK about what she would've wanted. PERIOD.

the more i sit with it the more i realise that the title of the movie did not refer to nikki's obsession with bear but rather his obsession with her. because i know fs that what he felt for her definitely wasn't love.

The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

“More than fifty research and development facilities across thirty-one states. Gone. Consolidated into a single location in Fort Collins, Colorado. And ‘consolidated’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence, because what it actually means is that decades of place-based, long-term ecological research—the kind that literally cannot exist anywhere else because it depends on specific forests, specific watersheds, specific ecosystems studied over generations—will be snuffed out.

You cannot move a thirty-year watershed study. You cannot relocate a decades-long old-growth monitoring program. You cannot box up a forest and ship it to Colorado. When these facilities close, the experiments die. The datasets end. The partnerships with universities that took generations to build collapse. And the institutional knowledge of the scientists who ran those programs walks out the door, because the administration damn well knows most of them won’t follow a forced relocation to a single consolidated office that has nothing to do with the ecosystems they’ve spent their careers studying.”

Daniel Sloss SAID IT THANK YOU DANIEL SLOSS

Reblogging again now that Russell Brand's ugly mug is back in the news to remind everyone that in the 2023 Times expose on his abusive behaviour, Daniel Sloss was the only male comedian willing to be named and quoted like "yeah that dude's a scumbag and women have been warning each other about him for years."

Guys how long do you think it takes for Ilya to do the very out of character, clearly someone else’s voice coming out of his mouth, self-deprecating thing in front of the Hollander parents.

He’s going to say “well, you know how lazy I am, haha”. And he’s going to get hit with a nuclear fucking missile when they not only are confused and unhappy in their disagreement. But fully pull a “why would you think that Ilya??” Concerned parent thing.

David frowns and say now, I don’t think that’s true son. Unless you’re saying you’re faster than me at puzzles without even trying haha :)

Yuna says oh but you’re so hardworking! Look at you with your rookies you train up and with the way you’ve turned the centaurs around! That’s why coaches like you so much :)

Ilya is fighting for his life while Shane just leaves him to struggle with the weight of all this while he loads the dishwasher because he’s been trying to win this argument for ages and now has backup.

no one will ever convince me that the us carpet bombing a country is the solution to anything and its genuinely disturbing that it has become so thoroughly normalized in the minds of many let alone viewed as a desirable action and not something deeply fundamentally wrong

you do not have to want to be a parent or caretaker. but you do have to see children as full human beings with an indisputable and universal right to a safe, healthy, and loving environment in which to grow up. and to be in all the public spaces you are. including the crying baby on the bus, and the toddler on the ipad in the restaurant, and the group of teenagers at the shops who may not be buying anything. and you have to be prepared to be a safe adult in whatever way you can. if you support any social-justice-oriented movement whatsoever—if you profess to be a feminist, or an environmentalist, or anti-carceral, or land back, or antiracist, or anything else—and then say you hate kids, your support for your cause has a great big hole at its center. and this is non-negotiable.

going further and adding that if you cannot extend care and respect to children you do not have my trust as a disabled person. oh, you don’t like that they’re loud, or don’t speak clearly, or cry? that they can’t regulate their bodies and bodily functions or their emotions like you do? that they need help with things you consider basic? that they don’t make money and can’t live on their own? you think it’s okay to hand their rights over to others and throw away the key? you jokingly suggest that they should all just be locked up somewhere far from public sight? the disabled people around you and the people who love us are listening. and we know so much more about what your words mean than you do (and we’ll act accordingly).

Posting this because apparently some of you really need to internalize that you do not have to be a perfect person to deserve justice.

MINNEAPOLIS IS A WAR ZONE RIGHT NOW. WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SURVIVAL.

I sat down a few days ago to write a standard “Know Your Rights” post for everyone on the ground in the Twin Cities. I wanted to tell you about the Fourth Amendment. I wanted to tell you that they need a signed judicial warrant to enter your home. I wanted to give you the script to say “I do not consent to this search.”

But I realized I would be lying to you if I said that mattered right now.

The reality on the streets of Minneapolis is that ICE is operating as a lawless, paramilitary force. They are pulling people out of cars without cause. They are snatching people off the street. We have seen them murder innocents like Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti, and face zero consequences. When federal agents are tearing gas peaceful protestors and ignoring court orders, “legal rights” feel like a fairy tale.

You cannot recite the Constitution to a jackboot on your neck and expect it to save you.

So, screw the “legal” advice. If you are in Minnesota, or if you are anywhere in this country watching this nightmare expand, here is the SURVIVAL advice.

IF YOU ARE IN A VIOLENT ZONE / PROTEST:

Do not engage alone. ICE relies on isolation. If you see them grabbing someone, do not physically intervene unless you have the numbers to de-arrest safely (and know what you are doing), but do not let them operate in the dark. Film everything. Stream it. Scream. Make sure they know the world is watching.

Biometrics are dangerous. Turn off FaceID/TouchID on your phone. If you are detained, they will try to force your phone open. Set a long, alphanumeric passcode.

If you are near the protests, wear nondescript clothing. Cover identifiable tattoos. Carry saline for tear gas. Write a lawyer’s number on your arm in permanent marker.

FOR EVERYONE (CITIZEN OR NOT) DEALING WITH ICE:

If they knock, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. It doesn’t matter what they say. It doesn’t matter if they say they just “want to talk” or “check your papers.” Unless they batter that door down (which is rare but happening), you keep that physical barrier between you and them. Talk through the door. Slide nothing under it.

Scrub your social media if you are undocumented or organizing. Use Signal with disappearing messages. ICE is using data dragging and AI surveillance, don’t make their job easier by posting your location in real-time.

Know your neighbors. Who is vulnerable? Who has a safe basement?

Minneapolis, we are with you. We see you. We are screaming with you. The law has left the building, so we have to protect each other.

Stay safe. Stay together. Don’t let them take anyone else.

Like they said, we are beyond legality and constitutional observation. We have reached survival and resistance.

Some additions:

Become familiar with your local firearms and self defense laws. Know what options are available to you, what options you are comfortable with, and what options you can practice and train with.

Get first aid certified and read up on protest medicine. Anyone can provide basic first aid and an eye wash for tear gas. If you are confident, take a street medic or stop the bleed course, and get an individual first aid kit (IFAK) and a Bleed control kit.

Read up on protest tactics like kettling, and how to respond to them. Check out guides from Hong Kong 2019, Minneapolis and Portland 2020, and international movements in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.

Get proper PPE for your risk level. If you’re going to be on the ground, get a half or full face respirator/gas mask with proper filtration (3M P100 filters, for example). Street medic guides have recommendations and suggestions, and some groups have free or low cost PPE. Check with your local street medic or anarchist groups.

the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal
