This was on a post about how it's ignorant and privileged to wear headphones in public and I fear its already become a part of my vocabulary. Must everything harbor a moral failure.

This dog is so inbred holy cow

[headspace-hotel]

I somehow missed that the dog was born literally the day after Charlie Kirk's death, giving the name an appearance of suggesting that Charlie Kirk was reincarnated as an inbred Pomeranian.

The way Americans attempt to show reverence and honor gives disrespect and blasphemy a run for their money.

Going to a talk with a panel of queer librarians and archivists today. Going to make very big, wet eyes at the head archivist and ask if she needs volunteers to help sort the backlog of queer history materials that I have been told exists at the local museum.

[renthony]

Me during the q&a section: "I've always wanted to do archival work, but I dropped out of university and had a lot of academic doors close on me. How can I get involved?"

Every single archivist on the panel: *laser eyes activated* What you're gonna do is come get our contact info after the panel. We need volunteers soooo bad.

SUCCESS.

[renthony]

I left with five different people's contact info and a lead on an internship opportunity. Go to the events at your local library if you can, my friends. 🥰

[renthony]

Another cool thing: this really awesome panel of professional librarians and archivists spent a solid chunk of time talking about how amazing Ao3 is. Specifically, how well-optimized it is as an actual archive. There was brief talk about fanfic and fandom as it relates to queer history, too.

There was also some discussion about the importance of archiving tumblr, and the way tumblr is relevant to modern queer issues & theory.

It was AWESOME.

[renthony]

Also, nearly everyone in attendance was wearing a mask. 🙌

I have had a VERY good afternoon. 🥰

a 6th grader tried to ragebait me the other day and i didn't even realize because i was in awe of this perfect 31 on my potato and she kept getting pissed at me and calling me a 'number lover' and i was like 'i sure am :)!'

[wordfather]

forgot to say that im a teacher. a random 6th grader didnt spawn into my lunch break to mock me, though that is really really funny to think about

trans bears are literally stronger than any US marine

[they-were-a-skater-gay]

How on earth would they be able to tell that a bear is trans. I’m not saying they can’t be but how would they communicate that.

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

[agnesmontague]

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out

How much growth is required to achieve good lives for all? Insights from needs-based analysis

Some narratives in international development hold that ending poverty and achieving good lives for all will require every country to reach t

[sd-d0-l1y]

The conclusion, and one of the harder hitting parts of the article. Solving poverty does not require complex solutions and long timeframes.

[theunusualchameleon]

I'm reminded of that one part in Frederick Douglass's autobiography where he gets to the north for the first time and assumed, since they didn't have slaves, that everyone was about as poor as non-slaveowning white southerners. And they weren't! There were poor people, sure, but there were lots of people living very comfortably or in luxury.

He mentions how angry it made him, that not only were thousands and thousands of people suffering to create luxury for a few, but that slavery wasn't even necessary for wealth to exist. That's really stuck with me.

as a kid i constantly watched roadrunner and coyote cartoons and i’d play roadrunner and coyote with my dad which involved me running loops in my house bc the rooms made a circle while he tied a couch cushion over a beam to fall on me like an ACME anvil

happy fathers day

so i hauve covid rn and i must say, American cold medicine is the absolute bees knees. You go to a UK pharmacy and they tenderly press like eight (8) paracetamol into the palm of your hand... God FORBID you're sick in France, i had to scour every pharmacy in Paris for something that wasn't HOMEOPATHIC PASTILLES. meanwhile last night i took the last of my stash of Nyquil that expired in 2019 and it was like getting hit by a fucking baseball bat (affectionate). press X to timeskip. LOVE me a cheeky little medically induced coma. you can really feel that it's a precursor to meth. i know that everything is fucking awful over there my friedns and my heart goes out to every one of you but if you need one small bright light of national pride in this time of strife please know that i envy you your cold medicine every day

i once took an american antihistamine pill just a basic one for seasonal allergies and i had to immediately lay down and while doing so i vividly hallucinated that i was a steerage passenger on the titanic resigned to my death as my cabin filled up rapidly with water. then i blacked out and when i woke up again my allergies were gone for the entire season.

“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

My kiddo’s school required a Facebook account to access vital information like snow days. The app used to recharge their lunch money account required a Facebook account.

I scheduled a meeting with staff. Told them I wasn’t doing that.
