Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

I love the very idea of the paris catacombs like. yeah sure the real-life city of paris has a straight-up megadungeon sprawling under it. Why not.

This is my uncle. There are many like him, but this one is mine.

My uncle is my best friend. He is my life. I must master him as I must master my life.

you cannot talk about the homophobic murder of jonathan joss without including in the conversation that he is indigenous.

american indian men are at the 2nd highest risk of death by murder compared to all other ethnic groups. in their lifetimes, 82% of native men report having experienced domestic violence. yet the overwhelming majority of perpetrators are non-natives (88% of native men and 92% of native women who reported violence said their attacker was non-native). what’s more, tribal governments are often stymied in their attempts to bring justice against non-natives, meaning that many of these cases go unresolved.

this was an intersectional attack. the fact that he is indigenous matters, even if the motivation was homophobic, because it made him even more vulnerable and disposable in the eyes of his killer.

as always, look into MMIWP to learn more, and speak up for us. miigwetch, take care

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

Americans will drive 15 hours, why the hell wouldn't we take a 15 hour train ride.

[deadmomjokes]

Bro I did the driving for 4 days running to get across the country. (And it sucked every mile of the way!) You think I wouldn't pay money to sit back in the lap of not-having-to-do-the-driving luxury and get all the way there in a quarter of the time it took me to do it (miserably) myself? That's vacation time babeyy! You can't read, sleep, or do your small lap-crafts when you're the one driving. Let the landspeed torpedo do the driving and the world is my dang relaxation oyster. And you mean I get to look out the window and actually see stuff while I'm at it? As a bonus? And I get to stay on the ground? You'll never catch me flying or driving again.

[uzumaki-rebellion]

Some after "Sinners" reading material if you're interested in Black American and Indigenous History (and the immigrants who came over, too). I put in the Jones-Rogers book too so y'all won't think the 58% had no serious role in shaping the horrors of America.

Adding this amazing "Sinners Syllabus" too for further resources to educate yourself. The books above are ones I have in my personal library, but some very cool people put together an entire webpage of information. Check it out HERE.

"Actually many disabled people do contribute to society" is not a great argument against eugenics, by the way.

[mediocrerenaissancememe]

Can you explain this a bit? I'm not seeing the problem with that argument but i want to learn?

[lifeafterpsychiatry]

When you argue against "disabled people can't contribute to society and are therefore lesser people" with variations of "disabled people can contribute to society actually!" you are still agreeing with the underlying notion that people who can't contribute to society have less worth. It is true that many disabled people "contribute to society" in traditional ways, but we should be fighting just as much for those who can't as those who can instead of pushing "low functioning" disabled people under the bus in favor of the "high functioning" ones. The argument that some people have less worth than others because of what they can't do is problematic in itself, not a notion to be entertained

[insomniac-arrest]

Okay. But subjects like history are also important. Finding, analyzing, and putting primary sources in context is a skill. Understanding and thinking about the past is a skill—especially as we swim in misinformation. The humanities should also not be phoned in either even if that means classes look different in the future.

there should be a tax that youtubers pay where 1.5% of all of their revenue goes back to Kevin Macleod for basically supplying YouTube with it’s own soundtrack.

[fooliofailure]

who is this man and what music did he make???

[paper-mario-wiki]

if you hear a royalty free song on youtube, there’s approximately an 80% chance Kevin Macleod wrote it.

here’s some you’ve almost definitely heard:

[paper-mario-wiki]

for those wondering, yes, he also made THE generic royalty free song that was EVERYWHERE in 2014.

[shinosarna]

He has a Patreon!

And he doesn’t even make a 1000$ per month!

also, his site incompetech.com also has graph paper generators, if you’re in need of that. It has any kind of graph paper - INCLUDING hex paper, you tabletop gamers out there! (or knitting paper if you’re into that)

[funnycomputer]

HOHOHOHO?

[tinaalsgirl]

Y'all, I’ve been a fan of Kevin MacLeod for YEARS. I can identify his music within two seconds. He’s a fucking genius and he deserves all the love and credit and money people can give.

[starhalation]

He scored invader zim AND xiaolin showdown
