One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.

[pointless-letters]

Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.

[pointless-letters]

57th anniversary of the moon landing and the best diary entry in the history of diary entries. Sit down Samuel Pepys, it’s over. UGH.

Happy Fucking Moon Day

[bamfspock]

saw this suddenly get a flurry of notes which means it is once again fucking moon day! Happy fucking moon day, everyone.

[bamfspock]

hello all, it's Fucking Moon Day Monday

[alagaisia]

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

[alagaisia]

It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!

[alagaisia]

It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.

[watermelon-converse]

Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this

[emi--rose]

Hell yeah moon holiday

[hello-delicious-tea]

Ooh coming up we should celebrate

[ariaste]

PITCH: We call it Moon Day, and then every 7 years when it falls on a Monday, that's an even BIGGER deal and we call that Moon Day Monday and go absolutely apeshit about it (the next Moon Day Monday is in 2026 so we have a couple trial runs first)

[sarostheghostcat]

MOON DAY MOON DAY MOON DAY

[sashaforthewin]

Happy moon day to all who celebrate

[kitsuneofthemist]

This is your reminder to prep for Moon Day on July 20th.

July 15, 2026 - Activist group "Everyone Hates Elon" installed a guerrilla ad parodying Meta's advertisement campaign for its dystopian surveillance glasses for perverts and stalkers, near Meta's London headquarters.

The lenticular poster changes Kylie Jenner to a They Live style monster with Meta's true message: "WE'RE ALWAYS WATCHING". [link]

“Meta has spent years tracking us online,” said a spokesperson for EHE in an email to Hyperallergic. “Now it wants to track us in the real world too.” In an effort to assuage concerns about the glasses secretly recording people, Meta said it would roll out a software update that would disable the camera if the built-in LED recording light was obscured or damaged. However, the product has already been derided extensively online, especially because of its recent popularity with “Manosphere” content creators who post point-of-view recordings of them cold approaching (see: sexually harassing) various women in public without their knowledge. “Meta and Ray-Ban’s new AI glasses can be used to secretly record women and young people for sexual reasons,” the EHE spokesperson continued in their statement to Hyperallergic. “Simply put, that’s abuse.”

Never getting over Charlie Kirk getting shot in the throat right after he uses it to downplay gun violence. Gotta be a top 3 assassination. Up there with Shinzo getting doohickey'd.

[foxgirlmindcrank]

It's on some straight up Greek play shit. Man who uses his voice to justify violence and stir evil for years meets his end as that very violence tears out his throat. Poetic. Captured live from multiple angles. People stole his blood soaked merch to hock and his wife was giddy about sale numbers during his funeral.

The Amnesty International report that JK Rowling is trying to censor through legal threats.

It can also be found on Google Drive here and on Bluesky here.

Please save and share this info where possible. This report has since been removed by Amnesty International due to legal threats of libel from JK Rowling. This information is no longer easily accessible.

💖 these are the four artists who, in light of the most recent season, appear to have carried iwtv on their backs while the white showrunner got all the credit. very impressed with their work not just writing/directing/editing-wise but because their presence clearly set a certain tone in that writers' room. and i imagine it took quite a bit of effort to maintain it, considering what that writers' room turned into once they were no longer in the picture. i'm really excited to keep an eye on their careers and i hope they move on to do great things with more creative control

[thatdiabolicalfeminist]

are people talking about the labor conditions at Taylor Farms yet? like the fact they use enslaved prisoners in their facilities?

are we drawing the connection between worker safety and consumer safety & public health yet?

are people demanding to see the conditions in this place that keeps making us sick? why are the enslaved workers not having the time to use the bathroom or to rest when ill? very few people would shit in front of their coworkers given any choice at all.

[saffronlesbian]

from what i can find from a 30-minute search, they have since stopped actively hiring prison labor for the past couple of years, at least. BUT, taylor farms has been flagged as dangerous and exploitative in general for a while now.

they have plants from colorado to new jersey to florida to california. more than 12-13 years that i could easily find of there being issues with labor and safety for workers and consumers, and a significant portion of that time they were directly using prison labor.

fantastic. i love it. i posted this after my wife said it yesterday and as i was doing it i was like "this can't be an original thought. as soon as i hit post someone's going to say 'you stole this from a tweet from 2014' and i'll say 'no, i stole it from my beautiful wife.'"

[wolfertinger666]

my main thing is that it's mega FUCKING frustrating when black people vent about our experiences with antiblackness in left leaning spaces only to get ignored because non black people genuinely think they're being a nuisance but yall only become annoying if you derail our points or speak over us.

and it's more frustrating when a white person basically repeats our points and have people feel more comfortable interacting with them because they are scared of the angry negro. black people only matter as a hypothetical and when it comes time to really listen to us we are talked over and ignored.

[wolfertinger666]

i genuinely try to stay compose and not tweak out over it but it's so discouraging that people only want to interact with us black people and our issues from a 10 ft pole while claiming to be our allies. it's performativity like that that gets us put in danger + drowns our voices out, it's why I keep asking y'all to boost black voices. not just mine, but the black people around you. especially your friends or family.

[loveridden1999]

when england lose, women bruise

[houndmother]

deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

can everyone get woke again. I miss her. I miss woke.

[bitchautism]

and by woke I mean aware of racism. the original meaning. don't do stupid bullshit here. woke = aware of racism . ok

[sheepgirlmaidtummy]

it means to stay aware of Anti Black Racism specifically, this is a term made by black people to talk about the injustices we go through, please please remember this. its anti black racism

[darlingofdots]

been stewing on an analytical approach to fiction which I call "is this book afraid of me?" and in order to answer this question you determine how hard the book is trying to make sure you don't come after the writer on twitter
